I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

It’s the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn’t very punishing. The respawn points aren’t too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren’t that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn’t tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it’s a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

Video? Is it my app or did you share the wrong link?

One of your questions don’t seem to be that based?

“shits on Linux gamers”, are you talking about the store not beeing available on linux? Meh already got heroic which is better.

Their easy anticheat is available through proton tho, it’s on the game dev to chose to enable it or not (and I understand why they don’t do it for fortnite : the Linux market is pretty small, but also because the game is so huge that hackers will not hesitate a bit to switch to Linux in order to hack with custom kernels).

I don’t understand some things in the water consumption.

Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?

Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren’t they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?

Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.

This : https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241

As explained sold to ZipoApps (low quality add ridden shovelware, with extremely high price /week to remove adds, from the git discussion).

From a reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/SimpleMobileTools/comments/18929pq/simplemobiletools_was_sold_alternatives/

There seems to already be a fork : https://github.com/FossifyX

Tho not sure how trusted it can be, but seems to have some hope.

The reddit post also suggests some alternatives. The comments in that post also suggests more alternatives.

Hey on android? Didn’t know simplemobiletools was sold. Should be fine if updates are disabled from play store and only f-droid versions are used.

But for alternatives :

For a gallery app, I find Aves to look pretty good and has many great features https://github.com/deckerst/aves

If you need gallery (still not that great yet) & backup : ente gallery (there are other ente apps too) https://ente.io/

For a calendar no idea.

There is a way to create a Google account with an external email address. If you don’t have anything tied to your Google original account, it could be a way to access Google tools.

Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?

It was something else. Web drm : Web Integrity API.

Tho I don’t think they canceled the mobile variant of it for apps.

Well, the whole point of otp tokens/2fa, is to have a second login confirmation. Mostly on another device, like a phone.

Now maybe if you store your 2fa way on the same device, but locked away with a strong password, it may work, and could be safe enough.

But if it’s the same password as your device or another account, it isn’t that safe.

Don’t know, not using ublock origin. I use enhancer for YouTube on Firefox, and still not seeing any pop up.

Tho I have it set to allow ads for subscribed channels. Tho the setting seems bugged as a feature where most video ads get blocked, but some of them still run sometimes at the start of the video. The square adds on the side aren’t blocked either, but they are not a hindrance.

Well it depends.

Just from the subject: are mobile photos real

(to simplify this and avoid a definitive no, well not talk about photos beeing real or not in numeric form).

Photography is a complicated topic on mobile phones, with plenty of algorithms enhancing what a tiny sensor can deliver.

• But let’s assume there is a phone and algorithm, which manages to represent a photograph as close as possible to what I see.

Are my photos real because they represent what I see at one precise point in time? Because it is what I remember something was?

Or are they not real because of the algorithms interpreting the results to make it look like I see it?

• Now let’s assume I have another phone, like a Samsung or whatever. Such phone may take a picture, but that picture is modified, there is maybe more saturation for the sky and grass, while combining multiple pictures to do HDR… And plenty of other things.

Now are these photos real?

They change what I see, but would that make them less real for you/me? How do you see your pictures?

about the article : When ai/photography manipulation is brought in the question, in order to change the first result :

• It could slightly change colors, then I guess we could maybe comme back to above, is this interpretation real or not? More or less real?

• It could be a modification of what and how elements appear in that picture. Here, for me, there isn’t any question. The reality of the pictures are completely broken as they do not represent anymore what I could see.

KBM. As I played on a keyboard and mouse since so long, I lost the usage of controllers. And whenever I have to use controlers, it’s a bit of a pain. So I don’t, as much as possible.

Tho in some games I tried, like elite dangerous, I had to use a controler for movement as on keyboard it was painfully slow, or too fast, but also just to be able to use most of the controls.

Well I noticed a difference between duckduckgo and Ecosia, both taking results from Bing. Not sure if it’s the language setting, or something else.

Warframe and grime.

The update coming to warframe mid October solves a lot of qol issues and should make it one of the bets mmorpg grind game.

I don’t think you look at it from the right way.

AI is already in a lot of people’s lifes and they don’t even notice it’s that.

From your keyboard word correction and prediction, to power management, smart image edition and categorising and more.

And some things are done locally on your phone.

The increase in AI capability on phones can allow more things to be done locally, and maybe even get something like a local LLM to predict what you want to type. (LLM = large language model, like chatgpt, bard, Llama and others, they can be used for more than just answering your questions).

Last time I used adguard, they seemed to want to get money from user donations. By having more users, more users would donate, and there would be a point where there would be enough.

Tho I’m not sure if they have reached such point or if they would reach it in the future.

Scratching maybe, not sure.

But I saw an issue that the darker ones reacted in a more visible way with skin oil. And the phone was loosing color around the buttons or where people grip it.

The solution from apple is buy the new case to protect it, or wipe it frequently.

The new woven case is trash and gets nasty very fast.
