There’s a fork of this by one LadyEebs that adds a whole bunch of modern touches like ragdoll physics, advanced lighting, fog, and she’s even been tastefully modding the single player maps with more detail. I don’t have the repo handy because I am on my phone, but a lot of the dev discussion takes place on the Discord of The Massassi Temple (https://www.massassi.net/). I do run that site but am not involved in openjkdf2 or Eeb’s fork. There is also another JK reimplementation project by BAH_Strike that is also impressive.

Same, I tried it on Thursday, I would recommend people on M1 Macs to stay well clear of podman for now.
Yep, there's a thread with hundreds of people on M1,2,3 macs having issues, it bit some people at work on newer macs. If you installed it a while ago, it's fine, but if you installed recently, it's buggered. The solution was to install podman-desktop which was somehow packaged such that it's not getting the bug (podman machine start hangs forever).
Is there a problem with Snap beyond Canonical forcing its adoption in Ubuntu and the potential for surveillance capitalism by Canonical? As a package deliver/installation mechanism is it objectively better or worse than Flackpack (or whatever all is completing in that space) or does it all just boil down to "I hate Snap because Canonical is being icky?"
Yeah, super slow startup of apps, themes not applying correctly with snap versions when they do fine with non-snap versions, inability to control when updates happen (this has been fixed since 20.04 but it was a huge PITA), a zillion weird entries in fstab, and multiple ways to manage packages on the same system. It is all a mess. I just recently moved off of 20.04 and after trying a few distros ended up on Linux Mint because not only are snaps completely disabled, they have a system in place for basing off vanilla debian instead of ubuntu if ubuntu ever makes it impossible to skip the snaps.

Don’t want to dismiss your complaint, but I find mine generally is not even that noticeable considering the main function of the Apple TV is playing media on my tv that lights up the whole room. What annoys you about it?
It's a white light sitting below my tv constantly shining a light at my face. What is the point of it? I already know the thing is powered on because I powered it on and it's playing a movie or whatever. Facing it backwards helps but then all the wires are exposed and look ugly.
Anyway, it wasn't really a strong complaint, but parent poster said Apple generally doesn't do it, but I have it on at least two generations of apple tv.

Why is it that manufacturers go for blue or bright white LED indicators? I assume that they are cheap enough that it doesn't matter, but green would probably still be slightly cheaper.
We have a USB charger that cannot be used in a bedroom, not that you should, but it can light up an entire room. Why not just have a tiny green LED? Apple is really good about not using bright LEDs in their product, or really any LED indicators (there might still be one in the magsafe). So why is it that every cheap random fly by night Chinese manufacturer feel the need to add a tiny blue torch to their products?
AppleTV 4k has super bright white led on the front (outwards to user) while the device is on. So annoying!
saberworks commented on Firefox Sync actually works howtogeek.com/the-best-re... · Posted by u/Vinnl
I'm not convinced. Recently moved to a new computer and firefox didn't sync my settings in about:config and didn't sync my container assignments (had to go in and enable it manually in both the source and target computers, buried deep in the settings for the containers extension). It doesn't sync addons or addon settings. I don't think it synced all the interface customization (like removing pocket icon from the url bar, separate urlbar/search box), only some of it. I got my bookmarks, so that was helpful. To sync a lot of other stuff I was able to copy my prefs.js from the old to the new, and most of those settings worked.

It does.
Just click "... Show all" when choosing a sender, and that will expand the list/search to include masked emails. It should also show you the domain/service it was set up for. And as you noted, the masked email will automatically be used as the sender when replying to an email that was sent to it as well.
Using 1Password makes it super easy to see which masked email was used for each service, so I can't really relate to your frustrations there either.
I think it's a pretty polished experience, and definitely beats everything else I've used in the past.
> It does.
Only sort of. First, this is a new feature, there used to be a whole section on adding "sending identities" and describing how to do it in order to send from a masked email address. I have support emails from 1Password pointing me to those docs as well. That whole section has been removed and now there's a note in the docs saying why (no date, though, so I don't know how recent).
Second, your description glosses over the fact that if I click the "from" address dropdown, and then in the filter/search field, type the domain associated with the masked email address, nothing shows up except "Show All." Why wouldn't a filter/search find the address? I have to click "Show All" and then repeat the search.
However, if I search/filter for any of the dozens of "sending identities" I created previously, the search/filter works correctly. So the UI is completely broken. When I search/filter something, and nothing shows up except a "Show All" button, that's the UI telling me that there were no matches. Oh, but now I learn that there are matches, they're just hidden under "Show All" (which should be renamed to "show matching masked email addresses" or something!?).

I love JMAP. It's what allowed me and my team (at 1Password) to easily add support for Masked Emails, where we randomly generate your email address in addition to your password.
Our own Madeline Hanley wrote about that experience, if you'd like to see what it's like to work with JMAP: https://blog.1password.com/making-masked-email-with-jmap/
I use Fastmail and 1Password, and I do used the masked email functionality. There is a massive gap, though, that makes it very difficult to rely on masked email. When I sign up for a new account somewhere, I can choose to create a masked email. If I later need to email that company (not reply via an existing email message), I must first somehow look up what email I used for that company, go into fastmail settings and create a "sender identity", remember the email address again, and then when I compose, remember to choose the sender identity that is associated with the masked email address I created for that specific company. If I forget or mess up any of those steps, I end up sending from my primary account or some other masked email address associated with some other company. Multiply that by dozens or even a hundred companies!
It would be really nice if adding a masked email automatically created a "sending identity." Further, it would be nice if the masked email account had a nickname that included the domain I was on when I created the account. That way if I need to send an email to support@nike.com, I can use the filter and type "nike.com" and get the correct masked email address.
On the surface it appears to be on the way to becoming a cross-platform game engine that in theory could be general purpose, but focuses on one game and still requires you to purchase a copy of the game for its image and sound assets if you want to play the game itself.
Is the ultimate outcome meant to be a clone of the game with open source assets provided by artists or what?
