Auster

Blocking, yeah.

Putting the tone aside, I usually browse the All tab for that reason, and also because subscribing in Lemmy is weirder than it was on Kbin (even if it doesn't crash the page like Kbin did). Nothing personal against the communities, and sure, it's an exercise on patience, but after some time, the results become noticeable as my feed gets fine-tuned into what I want to see.

If you are indeed autistic and it is a problem in your daily life, knowing what is the problem is the first step to dealing with it, I think. You could even find strategies to turn hindering aspects of the condition into strengths, by knowing where your issues may stem from. And on the bureaucratic part of diagnosis, sadly I can't comment as I don't have much experience with that part.

I can conjecture two possibilities. First, that it's indeed a "scam lawsuit", and the attacker aims for smaller devs so he can scare them into paying out. Second, that it was a complaint made by the Judge Dredd rights holders, as the game and the judge, jury and executioner police have a small bit of a resemblance.

Been using NoPhoneSpam. While it won't automatically block any numbers, it will cancel incoming calls not matching its filters. Only issue is that, some times, it takes a few seconds for it to recognize not passing calls, but I think it happens when the phone is under a higher load and the system starts lagging a bit, like when downloading bigger files and playing games.

Unsure if it's a viable option for you, but using KDE's Dolphin file browser, it's rather straight forward for me to set default applications through GUI. Also maybe worth noting I use Mint Xfce, even though Dolphin is a QT program ported.

Something I personally do is to load games from their entries in the start menu. And when there's no installer to set the start menu item, a program like Alacarte, or manually editing the files that handle those entries on Linux, the .desktop files. Alternatively, linking the executable files to either Heroic or Steam can also be viable.

As for how Linux handles executables, if it's a native Linux program, you usually need to set the read-write-execute permissions to be able to launch them. Tutorials usually suggest to run chmod 777 /path/to/executable, or other variants that set full permissions to all users and user groups, but as a security concern, I would suggest running chmod 700 /path/to/executable, as this would give the full permissions only to the current user (there's a bit of a formula to come up with this number, btw).

And regarding VMs, they are as fast as the hardware allows minus the host system's demands, so it will always be slower than baremetal installs. But in some specific cases, it's still the best option.

Regarding gaming support, Heroic Launcher also help a bunch, since you can easily set up multiple versions of forks of Wine (Valve's Proton being one), or even to use the system ones.

About the wifi issue, maybe it is some oddly specific hardware that the devs tackled only in Mint 22. And in a bit of a humorous tone, what's learning without a bit of struggle? 😅

And lastly, besides dual boot, you could also set up a VM with the secondary system(s) you want. Just worth noting hardware-dependent games, e.g. many from the Windows 9x time, will struggle on VMs.

From what I remember, in some cases of delistings on GOG due to rights changes, staffers there commented that, for a game to be relisted, it would need approval of the new rights holders. And since, going by Kagura Games' notice specifically, it was due to termination of contract, I would imagine the only thing Shady Corner Games could do now is the delisting, and now we wait to see what the dev will decide, if he/she will decide anything.

Regarding Itchio specifically, it was available under the Shady Corner Games' page, the publisher. If the dev wants to make it available on Itchio again but now self-published, I would imagine it would require him/her to publish under his/her own page.

The Royal Spanish Academy's dictionary, most likely. While I can easily have conversations in Spanish, the similarities with my mother language every once in a while make me get words confused, specially in conjugation (why does B and V need to sound so similar...). I've had it for a while, and although it was a bit pricey, it has saved me quite a few times from awkward mix ups. Also bonus points for working completely offline (looking at you, Yomiwa dictionary...), and having no problems being sideloaded into vanilla Android systems.

If it's a joke, totally missed the point, so sorry to teamevil if I sounded too coarse. "<.<
