Some Fedora variants do that too. Not sure which ones.

I have a Tiny connected to a startech dual USB drive dock. The drives get warm, but not deadly hot. Moving big files is a bit slow, but for streaming on Plex and Jellyfin it works fine.

I have two indoor cats. They’re constantly trying to get out. My neighbors have two outdoor cats. They constantly try to get into my house! Do you know how hard it is to take out garbage when there’s four cats vying to pass through any door you open?

I have a house in Alberta. I wonder if there’s a way to cede my property back to the Treaty nations when I die… They deserve it more than my relatives do.

I didn’t know anything about docker when I set up my NC years ago, so I ran it as a snap on bare metal. Man, it’s gotten so much better! It used to really suck. Like, simple file transfers just didn’t work half the time, so I’d be retrying the same thing over and over… A few years ago, I literally migrated it from bare metal to a VM, but kept the exact same install. I have so much crap on it now, I think I’ll never bother switching it out to docker, just because of the inconvenience. I know the snap version can just run using a local hostname, you just have to set it in trusted domains setting. Might be the same in the docker image?

When you said mechanical friend, I automatically thought of Johnny 5. I think I’m too old to be Internetting right now.

Dogged stubbornness. I use Linux because I refuse to give MS any more of my money, and I’m too stubborn to give up.

It works, I never posted back. Thanks!

I’ve been fighting with it since 5.5. I was able to play in Fedora 42 using Proton Experimental this morning, but it’s been super hit and miss for me.

I did an entire math course on my BigMe Inknote Plus. It cost too much, but came with a good pen and worked really well for math.

I got an N100 SZBox for cheap a few years ago(?) That has a big USB HDD drive plugged into it. Handles 1080p in house just fine, and I think the bloody hard drive eats more power than it does!

That article had 891 “partners”. Holy hell.

I would ask Randall Munroe!

Google is probably the most egregious monopolist, but I think the others should probably be emailed down in turn. I would absolutely love MS to have another round of antitrust penalties.

I own a Mode 7 Retro ii flip phone. Modern Android, tiny screen on the top, number pad on the bottom which I never use, and the dang thing fits nicely in my pocket and the screen never gets scratched. Faux leather on the outside. One of my profs literally calls me “Flip phone.” I do carry a tablet a lot of the time, so my phone is mostly for calls and podcasts. I doom scroll on the tablet.

John Carter. I just… Liked it! I feel like it was so close to being a big deal, and it got Focus Group-ed into mediocrity. Like, they could have called it “A Princess of Mars”, leaned into its legacy of being this epic thing, but instead they buried it.

I meant to say “accept”, but I think it works either way…

I support you!

Yup. A few games are like that for me. I set Steam to use compatibility with all games, and the only ones that don’t work at all are the anti-cheat ones. Even the new Monster Hunter works great for me. I have a mix of Nvidia and AMD GPUs, so it’s not just smug Linux AMD talking, either.

I find that a number of my games don’t say they’re Linux compatible, but work just fine. But that’s not what everyone says.
