It’s not ready for full rollout until Microslop gets Slopilot to put sponsored apps back into it.

Oh perfect. That would be a good upstream base for other European govt projects.

I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.

I’m delighted that our Prime Minister clearly got under Trump’s skin with his speech. He certainly didn’t get his wits from America.

Basically ICE’s digital colour pantone. It sure does make their job at being racist easier.

It’s not any more sus than running any FOSS project binaries obtained from github. And OP wants to test a bunch of live environments, so that’s not really a security-critical environment.

I’d suggest it’s collective laziness over any even potentially malicious intent. The author listed about the 180 blobs they are aware of, the vast majority from FOSS projects.

Anyway…

Best of luck, godspeed, hope to hear from you again sometime with good news.

Edit: Don’t hesitate or wait for my validation, live life the way you want, with as much or as little modern tech in it as you please.

Have you found ways to reconnect with technology?

My rule is that I interact with technology on my own terms and volition. I get upset if I get led or ‘tricked’ into an app or consuming some form of media. I access tech when I want to and am looking for something, and try to reject the idea that content should come to me in a steady stream. If I am watching brainrot it will be because I want to click and scroll through brainrot videos, not because it was the next one to play after the video I actually wanted to watch.

If you want bliss at this endless beach, build your own little FOSS sandcastle. If it washes away, build it somewhere else, and find other people that like to build FOSS sandcastles.

It would be what helps me embrace the platform more over Steam.

I 'member when headphones were just a copper wire to a magnet dressed in plastic, and none of this garbage required memory. Can we go back to that age? Thanks.

Some person on the fediverse has made an open source PDF editor… their other posts say its browser based. I haven’t tried it but this seems to fit your request.

Slo-pilot or Slop-a-lot works for me.

Nadella, go ahead, keep trying to meet your slop metrics and slop KPIs. You’re doing a great job moving people to Linux.

This may or may not help. But I’ll give you the basic steps using wine only and no Proton magic to run a game from disk:

• Create an empty folder to be your wineprefix (emulated system folder) or use the default.
• run WINEPREFIX=[full path to new folder] winecfg command in terminal (just winecfg if you will use the default prefix).
• mount your CD so that you can see it in your file browser. (Might be simply clicking that device in the file browser when a CD is in the drive bay)
• In the winecfg set drive D: to point to the folder where you mounted the CD.
• run the CD installer with wine… e.g WINEPREFIX=/some/path wine /media/something/cdrom1/setup.exe, install the game to C:
• run the game with WINE on the same prefix and with the CD inserted and mounted (if there are resources on the CD or basic DRM) e.g. WINEPREFIX=/some/path wine '/some/path/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Cool Game/coolgame.exe
• if that works, you might be able to create an image of the disc and mount that instead of the physical CD, you’d then rerun winecfg and set D: to the correct folder where the disk image is mounted.

As soon as I read his trademark word I knew it was Doctorow, awesome! I’ll give this a full listen sometime later.

That’s where I think Bazzite really shines… I didn’t need the terminal to setup all of the normal stuff at all, and new apps I discovered right from the start menu so I didn’t need to go far at all.

Bazzite is great out of the box. My favourite part is that the menu automatically suggests flatpak apps you might want to install without getting in the way of your existing apps.

No matter the distro (since there’s plenty of good ones out there), help your friend set up Winboat and you’ll be all good.

Bye Trump, ¡Holá Presidenta!
