Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

Wait but isn’t being more lean a good thing? Or am I misunderstanding how they’re using that word?

It’s pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp which lets you select a part of the screen.

I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.

I’m not sure about the others, but I’m pretty sure Hitman isn’t linux native.

As far as I can find on protondb, neither are Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.

I’ve never had any issues running those games through Proton though, so that’s great.

tl;dr: bcachefs dev sent in a massive pull request, linus thinks it’s too big and touches too much other code for the current state of the release cycle, dev says his filesystem is the future and should just be merged

Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.

The views are all just webviews. You can find all of the pages in the app/src/main/assets/pages folder, it’s all html and css.

Their package name is also still com.example, their target sdk doesn’t match their compile sdk, and also neither match with the target sdk in their AppManifest.xml.

So I’m guessing this is just someone who isn’t really familiar with java or native android views or something, so just decided to build it in something they do know instead.

It says they support payments with the device, but if it doesn’t run android, so also no google wallet, did they actually develop their own payments platform?

That’s not the only issue, fat32 also has a hard limit on single file size. The largest a single file can be is 4GiB, and afaik you just can’t get around that with fat.

iirc, the way windows deals with this in its media creation tool is that it strips out locales and other things you don’t need, based on the options you selected previously, so the file ends up being small enough to fit.

Streaming is still cheaper than cable

That really depends on where you live. With my current provider here in the Netherlands, I would be paying 12.50 euros extra for TV.

Netflix standard is already more expensive than that at 13.99.

Wait why was iso not intended to be used like this? As far as I can see, it was always meant as a digital image of a CD, which is how it was used, and pretty much still is right?

iirc there was a reason you should use dd instead of directly copying the data, I think something to do with device block alignment or something?

No, the drive needs a boot partition for the bios to know there is something to be booted on the drive.

Most Linux ISO’s do properly include the partitions in the ISO, so you can clone the iso to a drive and that should work, using dd for example. But just copying the files won’t work.

iirc windows iso’s did use to support just creating a fat32 partition and moving all the files over, not sure how they managed that. But now the international ISO for win 11 has a file that’s more than the max 4Gb allowed by fat32, so you can’t do that anymore either.

Can’t you just install openbox on any other distro? Looks like it’s available for all the major ones at least.

This is not true. I’ve seen a lot of people from my own country and others claim the same thing, but so far every time I’ve looked it up for countries it turned out to not be true.

You just have to be clear about which payment methods you accept upfront.

Yeah, the only thing I’ve ever seen is the MOK management thingy your bios will throw you into if something wants to add a new key, but iirc that can only list the key you’re about to add, not all of them. I also have no idea how you get to that menu without adding a new key.

Yeah, it looks cool and well thought-out, but I just don’t really see a use case for this. Maybe if it was more lightweight it could be used as a portable keyboard/controller, though I would personally probably still just bring an xbox one controller instead.

That one seems to only do remote streaming over network. Droidcam can be used over a USB connection as well, which works much more reliably (than the wireless version of droidcam, at least) in my experience.

Your script uses gh, which I think is the github cli, to clone a repository.

It would be easier for most people to just do a git clone git@github.com:umlaeute/v4l2loopback (or git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback). I don’t really understand why you’d use gh for something as simple as a clone tbh.

Ahh I thought they were just making a service for the normal spotify application, yeah in that case it makes sense to use a service. Didn’t know spotifyd is something else
