I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:

  • Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
  • EarthSiege 2
  • EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
  • X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
  • Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
  • Cities: Skylines
  • Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
  • Battlefield 1942

No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P

[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!

Those videos were not anti-FOSS. It was an honest look into the state of gaming on Linux that even the experts begrudgingly agreed with. If you listen to Linus' personal views on Linux, he's rooting for an alternative to Windows and Mac.

Well true, the engine may be good for 300k miles. But if it sits parked all the time, the body will rust long before you get to "fully use" it.

Driving it, believe it or not. Even a car that's used to commute to work every day still sits parked most of the day.

DDG was working earlier today, but for the past hour it just throws an error "There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again."

Immich. https://immich.app/

AGPL, self-hosted, high feature parity with GPhotos. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/

SpaceInvader One channel on YT has several guides on installing the server on UnRaid and migrating your photo library from Google Photos. https://youtu.be/krAZcUIP3YE and https://youtu.be/LtNWxxM5Mzg

Louis Rossmann recently brought a lot of attention to it by offering the developers a grant via his FUTO org. https://youtu.be/uyTPqxgqgjU

Immich has excellent face detection, as well as search capabilities built-in that can be assisted with locally or remote run ML. https://immich.app/docs/guides/remote-machine-learning/

I've been running it for a couple of months. It's under active development, but I personally feel that it's stable and at a good enough place to be a full replacement of Google Photos. In fact, I turned off all uploads to Google in their Photos app, and rely on Immich auto-uploading to my server instead. Of course that means having a robust (preferably off-site) backup and disaster recovery plan.

Treats servers badly. Both in restaurants and in IT infrastructure.

Nothing and I mean nothing will kill this faster than some leaked chats, emails, and browsing history of a few politicians.

Oh absolutely, it's just an ad for Proton products. That doesn't make the point about degoogling any less relevant.

What are the alternatives though? Self-hosting an email server is practically impossible because spam detection will block you on every turn.

Pichai & Co would totally have blocked videos if Hitler demanded it back during WW2. They should embrace their new motto - "Anything for a buck!"

Grow a pair, you spineless shits, and stop kowtowing to brutal dictators!

Learned this very recently.

AI is not ready to take over your job. It is, however, perfectly ready to convince your boss that it's ready to take over your job.
