I’d suggest also installing the Teams app on your smartphone (if you have one) just in case something goes tits up. It’s (a little bit) less buggy than the web version.

There was an official Linux app but it was discontinued a while ago. There was also an unofficial flatpak which packaged the web version as a stand-alone app. I think it’s unmaintained now.

Yeah, same. Rust projects generally seems to prefer MIT license for some reason. I guess they’ll go the FreeBSD way of occasionally getting some contributions from the big companies.

Secondly, I think I remember that it’s trying to replicate the linux, I haven’t seen any innovations to the typical stack. If I started a kernel from scratch I’d like to implement as many improvements and innovations that has come out since the 2000.

Although Redox is not the most innovative operating system under the sun, it does many things differently than Linux. The biggest difference is that it is a microkernel rather than a monolithic kernel. Yes, Redox is Unix-like, so it looks a lot like Linux in userspace, but in my opinion, this makes it more digestible for the average user and gives it a better chance of catching on.

Redox and SerenityOS are two operating systems that I keep an eye on and root for to catch on (at least a little).

You know you. But my experience from back in uni is that carrying a gaming handheld was pointless. if I have free time between classes I am going to do my homework or hang out with friends. And once classes are over? I am going home (or to hang out with friends again).

I agree. When I was in college, both in between classes and after them I either didn’t have the time, energy, or mood to play anything.

@[email protected], if I were in your shoes, I’d stick with the laptop you currently have. Especially if it’s still in working condition and if it’s light. Get a new laptop only if the current one is heavy – you don’t want to carry around a 20-kilogram gaming laptop everywhere!

If you want to get a new machine and you’re set on getting either the Framework or the Steam Deck, I would choose the Framework. I think they are similar in terms of performance (all I know is that both of them can play Spider-man Remastered), but I can’t imagine doing anything productive on the Steam Deck (even with a mouse and keyboard connected). And hauling two devices around (laptop plus Steam Deck) gets annoying quick.

I tried emulation, but I really struggle with the different button graphics showing when emulating PS2 or Gamecube games. I don’t know which button X is supposed to be. :\

I think it’s gotten better. Turning on offline mode also solves this.

Does Arma run well on Linux these days? I remember trying to run Arma 2 on my Linux box back in the day and failing.

It shouldn’t be that hard. Use Shellcheck to check for mistakes. Good luck!

It might be possible with inotify.

Rust’s licensing is also problematic. The license has been worded in such a vague way that it may or may not allow forking or re-implementation. It may or may not require deleting all references to the word “rust” from a fork or re-implementation.

All of that is fully compatible with FSF and OSI definitions. There is nothing new in requirement that forks use a different name.

To add to this: Rust is dual-licensed under the MIT and Apache licenses, both of which are permissible and compatible with GPLv3. There’s nothing stopping anyone forking Rust and creating Stallman’s Rust licensed under GPLv3. I genuinely do not understand that paragraph.

1. Some games on Steam are DRM-free, so you don’t have to buy these games twice. You could either burn just the game files, or you could create your own setup wizard using Inno Setup or some similar software.
2. Is a blue-ray (or optical media in general) more lasting/durable than an SD card? Archiving my games library in Switch-like jewel cases would be pretty cute.

I’ll look into how to make it draw less power. Thanks! That didn’t really cross my mind.

Why not use RPi Zero? That would require buying additional hardware. I’d rather use what I already have.

Neat idea! If I were that orderly (I’m more of the mindset that what I don’t remember probably wasn’t important), I’d set up a normal website. I enjoy writing HTML by hand.

I did not know that Amazon sold digital music. But it kills me that Amazon and Apple are the two big choices. Out of the frying pan into the fire…

I thought that Tidal was a streaming service, and that you can rip music from there like you can from Youtube or Spotify.

Almost every time I look on Bandcamp, the artist I am looking for isn’t there. :( Also, last time I tried buying something there they only accepted PayPal which I stopped using a while ago. But it seems they accept normal card payments now. Neat.

I buy CDs – I even bought a CD drive to rip them – but international shipping really kills me. I guess brick-and-mortar music shops are still a thing…

Thanks for the info. I won’t even try then.

So it can block ads in Google Chrome on my moms phone? Then I’ll have to figure out how to set it up!

Do you often run into issues when blocking traffic like this? I can imagine some software (i.e. Samsung’s or Google’s bloatware) kicking up a fuss.

That sounds cool as heck! But I am very confused about how television broadcasting works in the UK. This only works with some sort of over-the-internet TV, right?
