Nintendo Asks Wii U Owners To Refrain From Using "Unauthorised" Online Services in c/[email protected]

I don't know if this actually indicates that Nintendo cares. I think this statement only exists so that if someone manages to break their Wii U using Pretendo, Nintendo can't be held liable because they did tell people not to use it. Not that Pretendo is gonna break anybody's system (or that I give a hoot if Nintendo doesn't like it), but companies like to cover their bases.

Unity 3D development with Pop! OS? in c/[email protected]

For some reason I didn't include this in my original comment, but to install the flatpaks of .NET 6 and mono 6, you'll need to use the terminal. Here are the commands I used:

flatpak install flathub dotnet6
flatpak install flathub mono6

I had an absolute mess of a time trying to get Unity working on Linux. Even once I got it working, it had an issue where hovering over the Burst menu would cause the whole OS to lock up and I would have to reboot. It wasn't a good experience. I've never used Wine so I don't know if that would be any better.

When I first got it working, I wrote down the steps I took. I don't know if this is everything I had to do or if I forgot a step, but it might be a good starting point.

  • Install Unity Hub from the Pop!_Shop. I vividly remember not being able to get it to work right any other way.
  • Install .NET and Mono via flatpak. I wrote down that it had to be version 6 of both SDKs, don't remember why.
  • Install the flatpak version of Visual Studio Code. You can do this from the Pop!_Shop if you want.
  • Get the C# extension for VSC if you don't have it.
  • Once in Unity, go to "Edit/Preferences/External Tools" and check "Generate .csproj files for:"
    • Embedded packages
    • Local packages
    • Registry packages
    • Git packages
    • Built-in packages
  • Click "Regenerate project files"
  • When you open a script, Unity will tell you to set "Omnisharp: Use Modern Net" to false in VSC's settings. Do this to get code suggestions.

I hope this helps! Welcome to Linux! If you need clarification on any of this, just ask.

Yesterday I got Boost for Lemmy. I was using Boost for Reddit then went to my home screen. It panned right and showed Boost getting installed again. I was pretty confused until I realized it was Lemmy!

I didn't feel like customizing it again, so I exported my settings from BR and tried importing them into BL to see if it would work. It did! Both of my Boost apps look identical now, both ever so pretty.

I was wondering how accounts would work. I thought that Boost might be its own Fediverse instance. I went to sign in, though, and it let me select the Lemmy instance I wanted to use. Now I can use the same account on my phone as I do on my desktop, so I can see the same account history and notifications.

Overall, I'm beyond pleased with Boost for Lemmy! The transition was completely seamless and it all works like a charm. Wonderful!
