Physical media, digital media, it doesn't matter. They don't help the preservation of games. What really matters is DRM-free media.

Considering that this mutation seems to be caused by a chunk of missing DNA, as the article suggests, that's actually quite fitting.

Yup. Those 64 GB SSDs many retailers put into cheap laptops already come dangerously close to violating the Geneva Convention. 8GB is just stupid, even for a Linux system.

I'd be wary of that fork. It's run by a former Thunderbird dev that got banned for his toxic attitude and hasn't really improved since. Just take a look at the projects website. Being so unrespectful towards your upstream project should have no place in open-source.

Yup. Even assuming this would actually work as advertised, who would actually buy this over a regular printer?

Like, how often do you run into a situation where you need something 3D-printed while on the go, but simultaneously have enough free time to set this thing up in a protected area and wait a long time for the print to finish? Not to mention that you just happen to have brought with you the proper filament as well.

Furthermore, this thing...:

  • ... doesn't look like it holds regular spools.
  • ... looks like a repairability nightmare.
  • ... would surely be sold at a premium while being worse at everything except portability.

Not sure what you're seeing there. The Bedrock edition is also available on PC and the rest is a direct quote for the reasoning why that version gets it before the Java version.

It's not like they're forbidden from acknowledging the existence of other devices either. It's just not their target audience.

Oof. I'm already put off when I see a compose file that has more than like 3 containers, but that one really takes the cake. Two message brokers, two proxys, three webservers, two daemons and another handful of other containers? That's, indeed, truly insane.

Just because it's now easy to deploy giant stacks of server software doesn't mean you should.

Not necessarily. A good architecture could allow for crossplay between different kinds of accounts. They're just taking the easy way out.

Yup. I hate to admit it, but the only reason why I'm currently running a custom firmware again is because my current banking app plays well with GrapheneOS. Otherwise I'd probably not bother. Being able to use a banking app is just too convenient (for me personally).

So, this "advanced protection" mode prevents me from installing apps from non-PlayStore sources and developers could design their app in a way that requires this mode? So if someone is reliant on a single app requiring this mode then they would essentially have to get rid of all "unwanted" apps? Why do I think this "advanced protection" isn't actually intended to protecting the user?

I really hope these checks can be circumvented, but even more that this will get them some EU lawsuits.

Can recommend as well. I recently checked what's out when it comes to anything terminal-related and for the multiplexer I landed on zellij. Works well, looks neat, is easy to learn and well configured out of the box.

My current stack looks like this:

  • Terminal emulator: kitty
  • Terminal multiplexer: zellij
  • Shell: fish
  • Prompt: tide

Exactly. When purchasing any modern device I ask myself as to how much a company can screw me if they turn hostile out of nowhere. If I can't handle that risk, I don't purchase that product. Not having open source firmware that's connected to the internet is a huge red flag.

Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.
