  • Got the same thing. Whatever they're using to detect the source of incoming clicks, it isn't working. Valid rant against HN or not, IMO that just means they're morons who I wouldn't trust to support a distro.

    Edit: It's also happening from their own post on Mastodon lmao. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@Igigog/110820668174707603

  • The developer has confirmed on Discord that the one-time lifetime payment is planned for the full release.

  • Back when I was young and stupid, my ISP had a 3 strike program before they just terminated your entire contact.

  • I've had pretty much the opposite experience most of the time. Constantly dealing with flatpaks not opening or other weird issues that would go away as soon as I tried the AUR version or just installed it manually from the repo.

  • I prefer the AUR, but if I have to use one of the three it's gotta be an AppImage these days.

    I used to swear by flatpak, but because I'm on nvidia it just turns into a stupidly bloated mess since it never removes older driver versions. They're certainly not "bad" though, and I use them on my SteamDeck for sure.

  • I'm forcing myself to use QTile on my laptop because deep down I honestly believe it's more efficient, but man is it hard to get used to tiling WMs.

    Hyprland does look really nice though.

  • I can't imagine using my phone without Niagara's pop-up menus anymore, it's become my favorite launcher for sure.

  • I got so sick of the generic grids and app drawers, but then I found Niagara Launcher and it's just the single coolest thing I've ever used.

    I love the completely unique home screen, and I insanely love that each app icon can be swiped on and opened as a folder/access in-app shortcuts.

    I really can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for something super far from the average cookie-cutter launcher templates.

  • Wow, I love this a lot. Initially chuckled at the theme color slider in the settings, but it's unironically a great way to edit that haha.

    My instance (lemdro.id) has Photon as their modern look alternative, which also looks pretty sleek IMO, but I think I'll be using this going forward mostly because it's more desktop-looking than Photon's more mobile-centric layout.

    Fantastic work on this, can't wait to see how it grows going forward.

  • I would say, do a decently deep dive into your model's section on the XDA forums. The people over there are the go to for rooting and custom recovery flashing.

    The reason I think this is super important, is because the fact that you haven't found a specific guide for the 3 Strix might possibly be that it just isn't supported yet (or may not be possible to support). I used to have similar issues with certain carrier-specific models not actually supporting the steps needed to flash TWRP over adb or even unlock the bootloader period.

  • Thank you, the word "non-profit" was completely eluding my brain while writing that.

    Yeah I hope a lot of the larger or more serious instances will look into that going forward, very curious to see what the landscape of all this looks like in a few months.

  • I think without some kind of "incorporation" (or whatever the tech/FOSS equivalent of that is), most of these kinds of thing will be vulnerable to issues with the owner's payment methods failing. Even with donation options available it's almost always still being used to pay to the server owner in parallel to them paying server / domain costs out of pocket (and then reimbursing themselves with the donations)

    That said, I have to assume there's some way to set up some kind of automated payment option where community donations actually fill a fund that is used to pay costs directly in case the maintainer drops off the face of the earth.
