I liked the soft gradient XP icons, though maybe that’s just the nostalgia talking

It really isn’t. I do agree that for most purposes a static network with some central public nodes is the answer, but I want something more dynamic

I was also wondering about this. Flatpaks apparently come with more libraries to interact with other Flatpaks, whereas AppImages tend be purely app-specific and their libraries are compressed for their usage only.

Its very easy to use and my goto image editor, but I say that from a position of familiarity of having learned where everything is and what all the keybindings are over many years.

In contrast, Krita seems like a far better image editor, but because the interface is bewildering to me, I’ve shied away from it.

Grandad, for the last time - those aren’t parrots, they’re people, and that’s not a stick you’re holding it’s a rifle

If those pension investments come crashing down, the government will just have to roll out a new pension scheme not tied to money. E.g. mandatory social duty where all young and able people work in rotas to take care of 1 to 2 elderly people per month.

Germany, a country obsessed with cars, is expanding their rail networks pretty aggressively. That should be lauded

Electric cars aren’t a solution to the environment crises unless they’ve replaced the rubber on the wheels, use less roads, and their construction uses less CO2

True

then it wont be linux, but a shittily maintained private copy that will fall out of disuse quickly unless they merge all upstream changes without too much oversight (in which case, why bother?) to keep feature parity

True

xfce4. Stable as hell. X11. Can move windows around using just some keypresses.

booooo

This joke hasn’t aged well. I took it as is and just assumed the Dad put together a micro PC with a PS2 emulator on it, and then I stared at the article for 5 minutes looking for the punchline.

At first I thought you meant it’d be a bad fork, but then I realise you meant it’d be a bad fork.

As long as it’s open source and vetted by the public, I don’t see how it could go bad tbh

Code dump for the curious?

no, but they pretend otherwise, so them publicly salivating for it is a new level of embarrassing.

I keep mine only attached to ad-hoc networks with no outside signal, but there’s literally no saying whether it has its own modem

Given the measurable power output, I’d think not, but who’s to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.

I love this chip :'-(
