Syncthing desktop in termux and handle triggers like battery + wifi via tasker?

Speaking of upgradability, I wonder if an egpu could be connected to that usbc port.

I ran ps2 Linux as my "desktop" for 6 months or so back in the day. It wasn't capable of much compared to a general purpose computer at the time. Videos only played at almost full speed if you ran em in fbdev from a vterm with nothing else running. There was so little ram that using kde1 would run you into slow motion computing because of all the swapping. Window maker was ok, but running much of anything inside it would eat through that 32 megs of ram pretty quickly (I spent most of my time in vterms).

I'm not sure what kind of black magic they employ, but I can charge three sets of 4 enloop pros in a day with the official charger, more if they weren't completely dead. I'd been using an older charger before and it would take 10+ hours for a single set with that thing.

I almost checked out around then too, it gets a lot better in the respects you criticised as well as environment design.

I'd recommend hard mode for combat once your characters feel ready to advance. It isn't that much harder, and at least the last chunk of the game is way too easy without it.

Moonring uses natural language for interacting with NPCs and progressing the game (though you aren't actually controlling them, and there are different gameplay elements so I'm not sure if it would fit the bill?). It uses word matching, but has a really cool system where you'll get bubbles with suggestions based on other information you've uncovered (and then there's hidden stuff you can ask/say as well).

It's free on that note, so you could try and decide without having to invest more than time: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2373630/Moonring/

It's an old term from the car customisation scene, but I've seen it in use for referring to custom desktop setups for more than 10 years now. The unixporn subreddit was the first place I ran into it.

The game Myst actually worked kind of like a DVD menu with more options.

Gnome works like that too- double click on the TTF/OTF and you get a window with a preview of the font and an install button.

I never thought about it before, but that might actually be the case eh? You don't talk to Canadian border security on your way out.

Oh I see, so these are the same ads you'd see on the official broadcast too?

That's crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.
