| em | hi | 02:45 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledani | 👋🏻 | 11:19 |
| zxmpi | !! | 11:29 |
| zxmpi | !! | 11:30 |
| davef | ಠ_ಠ | 11:31 |
| diddledani | davef is on Windows ;-p | 11:42 |
| diddledani | kaomoji are impossible without the win+. emoji/character/kaomoji selector | 11:42 |
| zxmpi | coming from my ssh session to my rasp pi. :-) :-D ;-) }}}:-) all present and correct :-) | 11:44 |
| diddledani | bring back textual emoticons, like zxmpi 's ^^^ | 11:45 |
| zxmpi | =^..^= | 11:45 |
| diddledani | "back"? | 11:45 |
| diddledani | "they never went anywhere" | 11:46 |
| davef | diddledani: and it's not like I hide the fact I'm running Windows | 12:53 |
| diddledani | no, I was just making a polite nod to the awesome emoji picker on windows | 12:53 |
| davef | tbh, that is one of Windows coolest features | 12:54 |
| davef | on Win11, what's cool on there is running X applications in WSL2 | 12:54 |
| diddledani | I want something like that in Linux distros. Both Windows and Mac have something along those lines and now Linux is missing out | 12:54 |
| diddledani | WSL2 is epic! | 12:54 |
| zxmpi | your punishment for running windows.... is that you will be running windows :-) | 12:58 |
| davef | gladly, at least I can play all the video games >:) | 13:00 |
| zxmpi | i can play all the video games i want to play on any zx spectrum emulator :-) | 13:00 |
| diddledani | what's wrong with playing glxgears? | 13:01 |
| davef | try playing any Ubi title on Linux.. lol | 13:01 |
| diddledani | yeah, Steam are trying to fix gaming on linux with their proton stuff, but I think it's too big a challenge | 13:02 |
| diddledani | games are primarily tailored to Windows. We can't change that | 13:02 |
| diddledani | I don't think the SteamDeck is gonna change much or succeed very well | 13:03 |
| davef | not strictly true | 13:03 |
| davef | Google Stadia is Linux based, AAA titles are made to work on Stadia, so technically AAA games can run on Linux. | 13:03 |
| zxmpi | i think the steamdeck will do ok. not as a game platform, more a cyberdeck than a gaming platform | 13:03 |
| davef | What the real issue is is the developers willingness to actually support the game on a generic Linux platform | 13:04 |
| diddledani | I think you're right. There's so much variation in the different distros that it's almost impossible to account for everything | 13:04 |
| davef | I like the idea of the Steam Deck, I've had my reservation since day one. | 13:04 |
| diddledani | the stadia platform is a single known stack that doesn't change much | 13:05 |
| davef | Exactly | 13:05 |
| zxmpi | a grown version of the nokia n-gage | 13:05 |
| davef | Just like Amazon's platform too | 13:05 |
| davef | Windows is more or less consistent and has great backwards compatibility. Linux is too much of a moving goalpost most times. | 13:06 |
| diddledani | do we know what Geforce Now runs as the base OS from nVidia? | 13:06 |
| zxmpi | most people i know on linux would say windows is the moving goalpost and linux is the stable platform | 13:06 |
| davef | diddledani: through a chrome based browser, yes. | 13:07 |
| davef | or is that stadia? i forget | 13:07 |
| diddledani | I'd disagree, zxmpi , Windows is by far the most stable platform in terms of compatibility and not breaking stuff that used to work (unless you are an Insider ;-p) | 13:07 |
| zxmpi | thought stadia was on the way out? | 13:07 |
| davef | zxmpi: it's certainly one of the least popular | 13:12 |
| davef | top three are XBOX, PS and PC (Windows) | 13:12 |
| zxmpi | thought the nintendo switch outsold xbox? | 13:22 |
| daftykins | em: i'd much prefer that you left | 18:04 |
| diddledani | oh dear, what did I miss, daftykins ? | 18:17 |
| daftykins | just a known troll likely lurking to try and poach users in order to rebuild a dead channel | 18:24 |
| daftykins | someone will probably get invited by PM before too long | 18:24 |
| * diddledani pouts at not having been invited to this happening dead channel yet | 18:25 | |
| daftykins | heh | 18:25 |
| daftykins | couldn't resist a bag of Liquorice allsorts today, haven't had some in what feels like decades... just found a Bertie in the bag :o | 18:30 |
| zxmpi | oooh real bassets allsorts. not a generic bag. fancy! | 18:31 |
| daftykins | we have a little WHSmith on the high street, they have a £2 for 2 bags deal | 18:31 |
| zxmpi | used to love whsmith when we'd pop over to liverpool in the 80s. | 18:32 |
| em | I came here because I saw popey in a different channel, which made me think of this one from years ago, so I wanted to see if it still existed here. | 23:07 |
| daftykins | ok well confirmed, time to go! | 23:15 |
| daftykins | you can leave now | 23:24 |
