When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty!

If it’s a pure Linux phone then apps would be installed through the command line and could be easily auto updated via a script.

So if you don’t install a terminal emulator on the phone itself and only access the command line through something like SSH. You wouldn’t have to worry about an app store at all ideally?

I stopped being a fan of Mutahar a while back…but am I really the only person who noted the uploaded date?

I’ve been fucking around with Artix in a VM trying both Runit and S6.

Having never successfully installed Arch manually before, it was easier than I thought to get a desktop up and running…getting Pipewire to work on the other hand…still working on it. >.>

Honestly think the official installation guide needs some updating. I had to go off and find other community written guides to get certain things working. And small issues like the linux-firmware package downloading Nvidia drivers on my full AMD system.

I’m still dedicated to switching from Endeavour even though that distro has been very good to me. Their official statement on the matter didn’t inspire confidence, more just shifted the blame to FOSS as a whole. No words on plans to protect users or fork/switch away from mainline SystemD when push comes to shove.

It’s interesting to look at mobile games nowadays realizing that smartphones have been more powerful than 7th gen consoles for more than a decade now.

I’ve heard both straight and gay people say they wouldn’t date a bisexual because they don’t trust them not to sleep with someone else of another gender…

I would say I would never spend that much, but then I remember my £1000 Desktop I mainly use for playing old games…

I’m far from an expert, but Ui design as a job seems to have a huge flaw were if you eventually make the “perfect Ui” you’re suddenly out of a job.

So you’re straight up punished for doing your job well and the only way to maintain a career is to just re-invent the wheel every so often and chase the trends of others doing the same thing so your Ui designs don’t look “outdated”

No clue, Think it’s one of those ‘Worked well enough in the past’ things they just never bothered to re-work.

I personally wish they would update it to be more globally accurate but it’s Valve so.

It’s due to how Valve conducts these surveys. Rather than pulling from the entire user pool at once, they rotate between different chunks of the userbase every month.

You’ll notice this if you look at the system language stats, The Chinese speaking population jumps and falls by a rather large percent every month.

This also could explain why Windows 10 had another jump in users this month, From what I hear internet cafes are still a popular way to game in China. and I doubt many of these places have updated all their machines to Windows 11 yet.

Purple Arch has yet to fail me.

Barely counts as retro but I have a friend who’s had the in-game ringtone from Saints Row the Third as their real life ringtone for over a decade now.

Always funny when someone new hears it for the first time and asks about it.

My grandmother owned a PS1 which was the first console I ever played on as a kid.

But it was also the last console she ever owned and she said it was because of the move to thumbsticks made her gave up on gaming. Kinda sad…

Honestly the skill level for Arch is kinda overblown nowadays.

You can use Archinstall and get a full desktop and a pretty hands off experience if you don’t go around tweaking any lower level system stuff.

And if you’re extra lazy (like me) Endeavour or Cachy makes the minimal setup even more streamlined with good default settings. But you still get the AUR and fast updates, which I assume it what the average user wants more than complete control over how their system is setup.

Social media turning every hobby into a “hustle”

“Retro, Vintage” old stuff in general is trendy right now. And people saw this and bought up as much cheap stock as they could and raised the prices to insane levels because all the cheap stock is now own by them…

That’s a very oversimplified explanation but it’s affected more than just retro consoles.

Minimal requirements for Linux: Linux Kernal (optional)

I’m using 32GB of Corsair DDR4 I got back in 2016. Think I can safely say I got my moneys worth already and still intend to ride it into 2030 at this rate.

I actually get forced to use a Chromebook at my current job but it doesn’t really change anything since all our software is “in the cloud” accessed through Chrome.
