I think Sony wants out of the physical console market. They just don’t know how to do it. The consoles are sold at a loss, but the games sales are massive returns on investments.

If they can double their sales by releasing on steam at the cost of 30% per sale, they still come out ahead, and can save all the R&D cost on developing a physical console, plus the loss from each individual console sale.

More wheels!

Non

But being this is a 44dBA washer, the most powerful dishwasher in the world and will wash your plate clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?”

Well, do ya, cup?

Ubuntu (or Canonical, their parent company) has gotten more pushy with their paid service. Personally for me, I’m moving off of Ubuntu to Debian pure systems or Arch because when I ssh to my Ubuntu file server, the MOTD tells me I can pay for some kind of premium service and get 35 additional security updates. So, that’s it. That’s my line in the sand. Don’t advertise to me on my terminal

(And then there’s all the shit about Snap being installed by default, and I’m just at a point where I only want installed what I want installed, etc)

But you do you man. If Ubuntu works great for you, stick with it. You may change your mind later down the road, you may not. As long as you’re happy with it right now that all that matters.

Floiria is a prison colony

You can buy some old thinclient lenovos on eBay for super cheap.

There’s other board manufacturers as well… basically just replace “raspberry” with some other fruit and there’s probably a Pi of it

I personally think the best thing to do is find a used Celeron laptop and disable the lid switch setting. Now you’ve got a server with a built in UPS.

Or just fire it up in a docker container because you’re already running Linux right? RIGHT?

I beat my addiction 7 times a week!

Couldn’t think of a better way to go

You just need a large enough geomagnetic storm

There’s always a bigger power switch upstream somewhere.

Cool!

Apple is going to start cramming their AI the throat of all users in the next year or two as well.

Just… No.

Id imagine all games rely on at least the X server running to handle the display.

I know back in the day you could do some cool stuff with framebuffer, but I don’t know if you’d get 3d acceleration today even if you installed the drivers, because they probably need a bunch of libraries that are packaged as part of DEs/WMs

If you just want the experience of launching graphical stuff from the CLI, that can be done. You’d still install all the packages for your chosen display server and WM/DE, then you can write a small bash script that launches a desktop session and starts your program, then closes the desktop session after you exit the program.

I do look forward to the next generation of ad free media consumption powered by a small VC startup fund that has a bunch of low cost fresh-out-of-university students paid mostly in stocks working in a garage to say “yeah fuck this I’ve seen ads all my life in gonna do make something that doesn’t make people hate life”

Each iteration of the technology eventually becomes hot garbage. But man, for like a decade there shit is pretty good while the rest of the entrenched industry is stuck trying to pay lobbyists to get law makers to write rules that neither side understands just to have them ultimately not get passed or not address the issue and those companies still disappear.

On their deathbed, a man shows up to deliver strong pentrative action to a geriatric patient.

Ya know, send em’ out with a bang.

Old features and less? No problem. Just don’t install X, a window manager, or a desktop environment. It’ll be just like the DOS days!

This is one of the maps reviews:

Visited the site this morning. Very unfinished and no construction work in progress. Lagoon is full of water though. Evaporation must cost a fortune. Water is not cheap in a desert.
Many millions of dollars spent and no sign of it becoming operational. Can anyone explain the riddle of City Stars Sharm El-sheikh?

So, I don’t think it should count until it is operational.
