how does this differ from profiles in grapheneos? i’ve not used stock android so i don’t know if it also has profiles but i used to use them for work related things.

sure, i expected this reply. again, i don’t necessarily agree with the statement. herd mentality or not it’s merely what i’ve observed.

i have yet to use one of these digital wallets but i would imagine a large part of it is “because everyone around me is doing it.” not necessarily herd mentality but the social shift of it making checkout processes faster so if you’re using cash or a card, you’re inconveniencing the people in line behind you (however rational that may be is another topic).

i live in a semi-rural area and have seen very few instances of someone paying with their phone. it’s so rare here, i’m not even sure how the process works. tap to pay with a card has only recently been more normalized here. however, when i travel for work to big cities, it seems like the only times cards are used is when there is a large group meal at a fancier restaurant.

i also carry a small amount of cash in case my card fails or a card machine is down but it’s very rare to see cash used here as well, except for personal payments. even then, third party pseudo-bank apps are consuming that process (cashapp, venmo, etc.).

i’m not trying to justify any of these payment processes or mark one as better than the others. it’s just an observation.

Kept my parents’ desktop running for 14 years with Debian, XFCE, and the occasional hardware replacement. Maybe a bit of a PC of Theseus scenario but it worked pretty great.

MUSHA has this with the orb circle shield/weapon thing (I never learned the name). I used to think this was bad game design but even if it was an accident it’s interesting trying to bend your way around a game to keep from picking up stuff you dont want.

back in the dial-up and bbs days, i kept plenty of floppy disks (and later CDs) with my favorite media on them to play when i visited friends. in more recent history i have placed my digital media backups on drives to play at friends’ houses. it’s nice to be offline now and then.

while not technically sneakernet, we did have a piratebox set up at an office that i leased for backing up media collectively.

this is absolutely incredible. thank you so much!

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

I’m out of the loop. What happened to libgen?

“secure” boot, the industry standard for ensuring that devices don’t run software other than Windows during the bootup process

Thanks so much for the screenshot!

Do emulators like lemuroid take up the whole screen on the inside of the fold?

I was debating on a tablet or the pixel fold and I saw a video where it showed that the inside screen was basically two screens and man apps just displayed in the middle with black borders on either side.

I do because I just don’t want all that stuff around. Save states are also a blessing for folks like me with endless skill issues.

Pi-hole on an ancient pi zero w.

I’ve got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client’s network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

On my desktop in Podman, I’m running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it’s just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it’s a webshit.

This looks great! I have definitely not played enough RSG so maybe I’ll give this a go. I’ve sunk more hours into ikaruga.

I have been using the hell out of bazzite for the last few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it. There have been a couple of minor bugs but otherwise everything just generally works.

I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve also installed bluefin on my work laptop.

Not OP but:

• on a desktop it’s defaulted to desktop mode. I’m unsure about the steam deck.

• you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

• lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

The only games I’m unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.

Echoing the other sentiments, it’s probably a good idea to hunt down why your system is having trouble because distro hopping might not fix it.

That being said I’ve recently been using bazzite and it’s been relatively smooth. You just have to learn a couple (easy) ways to do package management a little differently.

Some of the questions about distros don’t take into account those of us who have been using Linux since the mid-90s. Your scope here seems to be directed at the last decade or so.
