Does he have much experience with computers? Not sure if it’d be easier to set him up with something like ChimeraOS that just runs Steam and the game or a basic desktop environment so he can write stuff and browse the internet.
In the aged care home I work in, we’ve had a few who can work a smart phone but most can barely work their TV. Being into RC planes might work in his favour.
Just Cause 2 was their big hit, so they kept trying to make Just Cause 2 again with every subsequent game, Just Cause or otherwise.
Lightening doesn’t strike twice.
Eh, have you seen some of the bots that just repost reddit content verbatim? Some trash slips through the cracks.
I used to pay for Deezer used and a variety of downloaders to download FLACs from them, but then they seemed to break that at some point and a ton of metadata was borked. Also, some artists who were on a bunch of different labels only ever had stuff from just one label on there, which meant a trip to the torrent sites/Soulseek anyway.
I just gave up and went back to Soulseek and RuTracker for my music after a while.
Embracer has really been a mess. Buying everyone up in the hopes the Saudis were definitely going to be on board with funding them probably didn’t help.
Just chucking everyone in a “Thing and friends” team probably isn’t helping matters either. Surely someone from the many dozens of development teams they have could have thought of better names.
He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she’s still there.
I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.
I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.
I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.
Skull and Bones is already a AAAA according to Ubisoft, so we’re already part of the way there.
Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further “professionalise” itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.
Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I’ve found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it’s Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.
I’ve personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.
It would be nice to see a few more distro options for GPD’s machines, especially considering Ubuntu MATE is the only real option for ones like the Win 2. Anything else is a pain to install due to all the weird hardware they use.
Make sure that splitter is specifically marked as a powered HDCP 1.3 splitter, the exploit was patched in 1.4.
