@ceruleanspark Dammit, Humble Bundle guys, I asked you to mail me when the new bundle got released. Why don't I have an e-mail yet?

@kingsombra Hi you!

"I feel like Richard Stallman trying to explain Free software to a Russian interviewer" is going to be my new saying for "I can't seem to manage to make this person understand something which isn't all that hard to understand".

I don't care what people keep telling me. I don't how how "supposedly great" #PulseAudio is. I've been giving it new chances over and over and over for the last two years, and I've ALWAYS had issues with it. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. As always, I'm back to #ALSA. At least the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture WORKS.

@ceruleanspark There is a big problem with that, though: The databases will be limited and therefore it won't be able to keep everything up-to-date. Assuming you're running a decent Linux distribution, the repositories would be extremely big. I guess Windows 8 will fix this, though, assuming they actually get a big catalogue.

Oh, dinner! AFK
-
@minti Oh, I love package mangers! They're SO convenient!
-
@pony I honestly don't care all that much, I wouldn't use the tool myself anyway, but too bad to hear that =/
-
@minti I know so many great Linux utilities that aren't native to Windows, but I don't know the names of them, so that doesn't really help a lot =/
-
@minti I already said Photoshop :x
-
@pony On Windows or Mac, that's possible: http://bluestacks.com/ (I think that's free as in beer, but not sure). On Linux, I would expect it to be possible (because we have parts of Android right in our kernel) but I haven't found a way yet.
-
@pony WINE isn't native (well, WINE itself is, but it doesn't turn the executables into native executables).
-
@zeldatra Someone tell me if they find a Windows version which runs Linux executables natively.
-
@pony Same. It's always been a deal-breaker for me. I want my windows maximized and not claim any of my desktop keys (I hate it if games claim Alt-Tab, for example, grrrr).
-
@pony You need to run the game, which is made for another Operating System (and because you don't have the source code but only a compiler, you'll need to use JIT (Just-In-Time) something like WINE does) on top of a complete operating system. You probably knew this, but I felt like explaining that, just in case you would be wondering :P
-
@omni Well, the original was surely better. Amongst the things I miss are: The ability to not use full-screen mode. This makes the game unplayable for me, as I can't stay up-to-date with other things then.

I just found a #FOSS clone of SkyRoads, a game I used to love as a kid, this is going to be so much fun! http://www.zneaker.com/joomla/index.php?view=article&catid=40%3Aprojects&id=48%3Aorbit-hopper&option=com_content&Itemid=27 Thank you so much, LibreGameWiki! !fossgaming

It seems my phone battery has arrived, yay!

@pony Consoles are pretty much just pre-installed PCs with a specialized OS. There is one clear advantage to consoles, though: If you buy a game for a certain console, you don't have to check your specs, you can assume it will just work fine.
-
@mushi Because games don't play well without textures, models and maps
-
@ceruleanspark Ah, I see. Well, I will need to think my opinion on this through later, as I was obviously misinformed. I will keep flashing my devices, though, I'm never happy with the stock ROMs =/
