  • Show me the adverts that GNOME or the KDE project pushes. How do I block ads in my Linux kernel? Where are the ffmpeg adverts? What about the curl ads? Where do you go about finding adverts in LibreOffice? I’ve never seen any ads in nginx, but maybe I’ve missed them.

    There’s so much free software out there.

    Mozilla gets money, they can also apply for funding if things get that tight. Given that they’re pouring money into useless projects no one has ever asked for, that’s widely unpopular and has lost them a tonne of goodwill among their userbase, I don’t think money is a massive problem for them.












  • I wouldn’t say that Oblivion or Skyrim has much better gameplay, honestly. Yeah the weird dice-roll mechanic is gone, not that dice rolls necessarily make for a bad game (see the entire Baldur’s Gate franchise, including the latest installment) but the combat in Oblivion and Skyrim isn’t exactly good. It’s floaty and feels really weird.

    Oblivion retains more of Morrowinds roleplay mechanics, too. Skyrim is just a flat, empty game. They leant really far into this garbage faux viking aesthetic, complete with rubbish accents (as a Swede, we don’t sound like that here in the Nordics) and there’s nothing really memorable about it. It plays and feels about as drab as it looks.

    Like to-date, there are still aspects of Oblivion and Morrowind I recall fondly. One of my favourite wow-moments in Oblivion was the quest with the woman who tasked you with finding her painter husband. That’s a fun quest. Skyrim has nothing like that.
