Yep. A lot of these tech companies that have run in the red for years are now being called on to produce a profit and pay the big backers.

Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.
is making me get the distro itchy foot.
They make a powder for that.
I prefer funny over accurate.
Yep. I’ve tried several others and they’re not for me, but a lot of people are really happy with them.
I like SteamOS so much that I’m using HoloISO on mini PCs around the house to simulate consoles and stream couch games from my gaming rig upstairs. But my experience isn’t everyone’s so get your hands on it and try it out.
Apparently, SpaceX has special tactics to stoke his grandiose ego and trick him into giving them the freedom they need.
It’s a tale as old as bosses. Many of them have big egos and think that because they’re in charge that magically gives them expertise. So if you want to do something you either get them looking at something shiny or you make them think it’s their idea.
I had a boss like that ages ago. If I wanted to work on something out of the ordinary I would plant the idea, then a few weeks later I would remind him that he brought it up a while ago. I used the fact that he had a million things going on so he never really remembered who brought it up. I didn’t care that he got the credit because I got to work on cool things and expand my repertoire.
That’s why way back in the day they had GIMPshop and why there’s PhotoGIMP now.
With Framework, you’re also paying to be able to upgrade. I like the idea of getting a new GPU and just popping it in.
They all but abandoned that years ago. They ain’t implementing shit on it.
And there’s no dead torrents. I could have probably added that too
Depends on your view. Some see it as a way to preserve media that could otherwise be gone forever. Some see it as a reasonable price to pay instead of paying 15 different companies hundreds per month. Others don’t mind supporting the individuals and small groups who run the servers but don’t want to support large corporations.
Depending on your definition of laid back, maybe Dredge? You can run through it in probably 10ish hours if you’re just trying to complete it. But if you want to see everything, relax, and fish you can stretch that to 30 pretty easily (it’s claimed you can do it in 16-17 but I’ve spent 30 just hanging out and fishing and I don’t have it all yet because of the relaxed pace I set).
The stressful parts never really felt stressful to me. Very little is timed. At its core it is an inventory management fishing game with a couple of jump scares. Plays well on the deck.
Otherwise, Stardew Valley like others have suggested.
I’m getting some rainbow truck nuts and a car bra for my truck. I like to keep folks guessing.
Given how many guitar tabs archives are online today it’s a shame what happened.
This is an anecdote because that site brought me back to another time. Feel free to skip it.
They have part of the OLGA archive there! Back in the day that was my go to. I had printed out multiple three ring binders full of tabs from there. When I would start working with new musicians I would put together a fakebook of 40-50 songs of the right style and just sit around and practice them.
That’s how I went from being a terrible guitarist full of passion to a mediocre guitarist who could badly fake anything well enough that it’s almost recognizable. It was such a great time.
You two are overlooking the most important thing. It might be fun to crazily rip out the cables then make a junior guy go trace and repatch it all. The opportunity to legitimately do that doesn’t come along often.
I wouldn’t call the second half of August “a long time”. However, I can say Chimera is pretty good and prior to August the last big release of HoloISO was last year so I do get your point and agree with you steering others to distros that may better meet their needs.
Yeah, that’s how Big Picture works. The suspend on it is the same garbage Windows suspend. I don’t use it on my Deck, but it is on my main rig.
Not a dumb question. That setup would probably work great for a lot of folks! There are some reasons it doesn’t fit my particular use case.
First, I keep a few games installed locally (stuff with low requirements and emulator stuff). I like being able to do that because I don’t keep those on my rig. Maybe that’s possible with the Apple TV? I don’t know. That leads right into my second reason…
I’m not part of the Apple ecosystem. I do own a MacBook (and a Mac mini from like 2008, but I don’t think we’ll count that) but it only ever gets used for music stuff. I have an Apple ID but don’t even remember what email address I used to sign up. Apple anything never really crosses my mind. I would assume the interface is pretty good because Apple does tend to make a nice UI, but I have no idea.
Speaking of the interface, I wanted something as close to the deck as possible because, honestly, it’s easy. That’s the reason I didn’t leave Windows on there. I could have had it boot directly into big picture mode but suspend doesn’t work that great in Windows. Suspend works great and for my use it’s no different than the deck. I think I mentioned earlier I had to make a Bluetooth change in desktop mode but that’s been it.
Finally, I liked the idea of it. I have an extra input. I have the money for a cheap mini PC. I had the attention span for a short project. Setting it up made me so happy that I’m considering doing it to the living room TV as well. But I’m afraid it’s diminishing returns so I’ll work on something else next then maybe revisit it. Or maybe I’ll put a console out there. Or maybe I’ll do nothing and learn to paint. With the Adderall shortage I’m out here raw dogging reality so I’m quickly hopping from project to project. I need to keep them both doable and engaging or I’m going to have a bunch more half finished projects by this time next year.
On the other hand, for someone who has an Apple TV it might be a great solution. No hate from me however you want to set it up as long as it does what you want and makes you happy.
My last job is currently controlling kubernetes with Ansible (configuration management and orchestration) in a hybrid cloud model. The new engineering director likes yaml so they put yaml on his yaml.
