Clementine + ALSA

Clementine был создан в 2010 году как форк от Amarok 1.4. И на сегодня является одним и самых популярных аудиоплееров для Linux. По сравнению с Amarok 1.4 функциональность пополнена некоторыми расширениями, а код был переписан с библиотек Qt3 и kdelibs на библиотеку Qt4, соответственно Clementine не требует для своей работы библиотек KDE. За последние семь лет плеер оброс полезным функционалом, при этом не утратил в своём внешнем виде шарма KDE 3.

Система комментариев Disqus – “mixed content”

Система комментариев Disqus – одна из самых популярных в Сети. Однако не смотря на заверения владельцев сервиса, система не всегда корректно работает с HTTPS протоколом. При этом жалобы на “смешанный контент” (когда сайт работает по HTTPS протоколу, но часть контента тянется из HTTP источников) я нашла аж от 2015-го года, но воз и ныне там.

Valkyria Chronicles

Valkyria Chronicles is a strange mix between anime, third-person shooter and turn-based strategy. In the beginning i even though it’s not a game at all. But it is. Valkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game in which the player uses a unique turn-based battle system called BLiTZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones). During their turn the player views an overhead map in Command Mode, but zooms in to control each individual unit on the battlefield in Action Mode. Much like the Growlanser series, movement and other actions are handled in real time during Action Mode, though limited in movement by an action point (AP) gauge that varies for each type of character. During Target Mode, the player is in direct control of characters’ aim while the action freezes, allowing for head shots and other maneuvers. Taking command of individual units during the player’s phase costs Command Points, which can be used dynamically to grant movement to many different units or the same unit consecutively with diminishing AP reserve, depending on what the player wants to accomplish.By using their troops the player must fulfill various conditions depending on the mission in order to achieve victory, most often the capture of a major enemy encampment. Upon completing missions, the player is awarded money and experience with which to upgrade their materiel and character classes, respectively, and the game’s story is advanced. Missions can be failed if the player’s forces are wholly incapacitated or killed, the squad’s main battle tank is destroyed, or the player’s main base camp is captured by the enemy.
