Another level: The id would be the part ordering more and more expensive drinks, so it’s preferred by barkeepers.

Cool to know, I really didn’t before. Nice catch!

Honestly yes, they do

So you argue on the internet about comics instead of working? Are you bragging? I am jealous.

That’s already plenty, thank you very much!

How does the interoperability work for your setup? Did you set up something special? What backup system do you use?

I ask because I plan to integrate some Apple stuff so my family can interact with it, like local-only backups, interacting with the TV (kodi) and music (mpd). I will not use software from apple on my side (well, beside the FOSS stuff from them, like bonjour or the printer stuff).

At first I dual booted with Windows and kept my games on the Windows drive. You can just tell steam the path to the games, after mounting the drive. Some games ran fine, some were a little more difficult or impossible to play, even when reported as working on protondb. The reason apparently was NTFS that wasn’t playing nice. That was the moment I ditched Windows entirely.

Under the hood windows uses NTFS, while most Linux distros use EXT4. Linux can read NTFS, but Windows can’t read EXT4 without some tweaks. So I thought my setup was good.

You can try this setup for yourself, it’s a good intro IMO.

It is!

After some time
For some time

Yeah, was thinking about joining the room to see what is written. Not what was asked.

But your username and server will be seen and could potentially be noticed by someone you don’t want.

Okay, Rust does look pretty cool and I am trying to learn it, but this makes me hesitant.

Also, did they rewrite it themselves or are they making Gemini do it and just didn’t encounter bugs yet?

Then you’re violating the law! Just agree to the 40 page legalese text as if you were on an equal footing.

• Let your personal pet lawyer read it if you can’t.
• Don’t forget to read every change to them, because every EULA allows the vendor to change parts of the EULA at any time.
• Enjoy having fewer rights to the bought stuff than a pirate does, because the EULA makes you waive them. Or will make you waive them.

Nice, thank you for the writeup!

Yeah, it’s hard to get to know people that are running around. But you can sit by the workshops or the representatives of some clubs and talk to them. Helping out and being an “angel” always helps. Haven’t done that myself, so I can’t say how social this is.

Am on the edge for the remarkable, but the pine note would be a definite buy. But I do know that the pine devices most often are tinkering devices. Don’t know if that is the case for the pine note, just saying.

This very much depends. Are there technical ways to restore this? Something like a jumper to make the flash storage writable. This would be possible with access to the firmware source code. So yeah, they can fix it themselves. Who is responsible? If the device is bricked after this: the company.

Build locked up products? Die.
Build in fuses? Better make those chips accessible by providing the plans to build them, otherwise refund your customers and die. Now everyone can build them, this won’t be a monopoly and everyone wins.

Very cool, thank you!

It doesn’t matter if they care about this. They are too dumb to do anything about it anyway. They still can get to take advantage of this. Most notable would be that stuff like “bank apps only through play/apple store” would be much harder to pull of.

What are some of your friends hobbies? Sometimes it just takes time to evaluate the people around oneself. A hobby to keep the friend occupied while also offering the friend a platform to talk about could help.

Books? -> Read in front of others (maybe to them?) in some discussion rounds (book club?).

I guess they don’t like sports in teams, but what about sports in parallel, like biking groups? Driving through the mountains with some people.

Computers? The CCC, makerspaces, stuff like that. Go over on a visiting day, introduce yourself and talk/build/program.

Those meeting’s successes heavily depend on the chemistry between the people involved, which can change overtime. Either they get to know each other better and begin to understand each other, or the friend meets different people in the chosen place.

If nothing works, then it can be repeated in a different club/city. There has to be someone interesting around for them.

That sounds like a cool idea. What are the plannings around this? Do they meet at a bar, a restaurant, some community hall? Are there people overseeing this? How much do they interfere? Are there transports organized? Is there food and drinks? Are they offered free-of-charge, at-cost, or with profit? Is alcohol involved? Coffee? Do they mix the groups?
