I was wondering the same. I definitely recognize the name but not from a Firefox fork, which this seems to be? Before it was a lightweight webkit browser. The original website[1][2] also doesn't work anymore and the wikipedia entry [3] still assumes it's a webkit browser.

No idea what's going on.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the last we hear from them. The server itself is not based on proprietary Blizzard code so they could keep using it and they already started developing their UE5 client. Maybe they will go the full way, create their own art assets and relaunch as TurtleMMO in the future.

Fair, yes I agree. Didn't mean to excuse anything they introduced.

I agree in general. One reason we haven't heard anything about it might be that the administration already admitted that this legislation needs correction or at least clarification, as mentioned in the article.

Does this mean if you have a main grid power outage the solar panel cannot provide your house with power either?

Why don't you read the article?

I laughed so hard. The whole articles tone is really enjoyable to me.

mnmalst — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 08:04:11 +0000

I am exited as well but the OS is only one part of the equation. If the firmware BLOBs don't get updates we still have a problem. I really hope this cooperation means that Motorola commits to longer support for gOS devices.

mnmalst — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 14:15:21 +0000

This is really cool. Works out of the box and I'm typing this using handy.

Is there any way to execute commands directly on Linux?

Also a feature to edit or correct already typed text would be really great.

Totally agree. Every time I see someone complaining about ads, I think "What ads?"

Awesome, that worked for me as well. Much appreciated.

Oh hey, I have the same problem. My solution so far was just downgrading WINE.

Would you mind telling me the exact overwrites you use?

Yes exactly, if you install the package you don't need the download the solver on the fly. AT least that's my understanding of what the package is supposed to do. Personally I have no need for it.

I am exactly like this. Great description.

mnmalst — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 19:31:26 +0000

Interesting!

I experience visual dreams the same way I described imagining the environment when I read. It's a completely different experience than seeing with my eyes open.

mnmalst — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 19:28:27 +0000

Yes I can do this. I can see the image in the middle the same way as I see each individual image. (But not both at the same time, the outside images get blurry when I focus on the one in the middle).

Anyways, this is nothing like what I experience when I imagine something.
