I do find it weird there’s been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, “I want to blend in and be invisible!”
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
Whoa, what are all those things you have?
Don’t forget the copies sealed in faraday containers.
Thanks for reminding me about this.
What is that?
My rationale with Debian is that distros are kind of like portals to entire compendiums of free and open-source software. With the increasing attacks on vpns in particular right now, I’m concerned there are any number of programs we take for granted that we might not have access to soon.
The internet is already deeply enshittified. There is a real possibility that it will no longer be a free and open web in any capacity soon. So it’s past time to make archives, and start setting up meshnets.
Nothing in particular that I’m aware of, just a growing recognition that things are very much not well in the US these days.
Curious about the mindset of the one (so far) person who has downvoted this post. What is there to dislike about archiving Linux and Wikipedia? 🤔
I never did fully go through with installing gentoo. I should give it a try for fun one of these days.
That is the unfortunate thing, it is clearly a very well designed controller. Even just the form factor - unlike any other controller I’ve had, the Xbox one has a just right feel to it. And it has by far the best dpad I’ve used (albeit loud).
Although I’ve always grown up with Sony controllers, so for me the ideal would be something like the Xbox controller, but with both analogs either on bottom or top (like the Wii U Pro controller).
Yeah after some searches it sounded like updating the controller might fix the bootloop issue. Running the accessories app for the controller through Linux seemed like a no-go, so for me the path of least resistance was putting Windows on an old laptop I don’t generally use anymore.
Updating fixed the bootloop issue, until it didn’t. The lesson I’m taking from all of this is to not buy Xbox controllers anymore. Currently the DualSense is my main, but I’m looking at the Gulikit ES Pro at some point.
If I ever find a controller that has a companion app that natively runs on Linux, that’s what I will prefer. But really, controllers needing to be updated is dumb to begin with.
Yeah I check in on React OS every few months. Maybe someday I’ll give it a try, but it’s still so much in alpha status.
Cool, I will try that out.
I used to work a food service job that had computerized touchscreen scales for weighing out products and printing out labels for them.
I learned that particular model was running an OS vaguely labeled as “Linux”, and it was on an ARM-based system. My biggest regret in that job was abstaining from trying to get Doom running on it.
Please bypass work restrictions.
Sounds more like Winbloat. >_>
Oooh, since we’re talking about Dolphin- today I had to organize image files on an Android device, and connected it to my pc via usb to do it. I noticed Dolphin did not use image thumbnails as the file icons like it normally does on local image files. Is there a way to make it do that on externally connected devices?
I have one old laptop with Windows 10 sitting around, and only because it’s the only way to update the Xbox Series controller I have that randomly bootloops and thus is essentially useless anyway.
So this begs the question: how much of Windows can I delete and replace with foss stuff, while still having it technically be a Windows OS?
Soon:
“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows/NT, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows plus NT. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another nonfree component of a fully functioning free GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX… and whatever NT does.”
Yeah to be fair I don’t use it either. These days I tend to just look for editors with good markdown support.
