  • Which FOSS projects have enough funding that we should donate elsewhere?

    Jump

  • Not OP but I would say because it is a smaller list where if you want to donate and make a big difference to the project then you know it is good to give money to pretty much anyone other than the over funded ones.

  • What video game are you waiting to see a new sequel for?

    Jump

  • Timesplitters. Can't believe that series got left to rot

  • What is a habit/thing/technique that most people would benefit from, in your experience/observation? What are some habits that would be best avoided too?

    Jump

  • Just go for a walk. Calling it exercise scares people into thinking about running, cycling or the gym but for the last month or two i just make it my mission to go for a long-ish walk once a day. Nothing strenuous, some days I walk a couple of kilometres to the nearest big supermarket to pick up some stuff, or i'll get something delivered to a post locker thing or I'll just go for a nice walk around the nearby park and bring my neglected camera with me to take pics of some birdies.

    You would be surprised how many calories it adds up to and how much better your well-being can get from some sunlight and fresh air.

  • If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?

    Jump

  • My Dutch friend. We were on discord playing guild wars and the topic of alcohol came up. The majority of the group are british and we were talking about different drinks like whisky, gin etc and the question came up "so what famous dutch spirits are there?".

    There was a bit of silence before he said, "I don't know, William of Orange?". Turns out he had never heard of the word 'spirit' to refer to high proof alcohol before so selected a famous historical dutch figure.

  • What are some of the worst obscure games?

    Jump

  • Jet Ion GP for the PS2. I thought it looked fun when I saw it in the shop...

  • We may be void posting, but the torties aren't happy about it.

    Jump

  • Lyra doesn't care so long as she has her box

  • I grown up eating this all the time but I never know its name, does anyone here know?

    Jump

  • Physalis is how ive always known it but i recently found out that tomatillos are a related species, used in a bunch of Mexican dishes.

  • linux-capable tablets for $100-$200

    Jump

  • What is your favorite Fediverse platform?

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity rather than necessity, are there any activitypub based messaging apps (i.e matrix/discord-like)?

    One not listed is Ibis (https://ibis.wiki/) which hasn't had much traction. Honestly unsure of how useful it is as a direct wikipedia replacement but i can see it as a cool idea for a bunch of related communities that would otherwise be on separate wikis.

  • What's some good news from election night in the US?

    Jump

  • Mark Robinson lost in NC?

  • What are the best Halloween-themed music for today?

    Jump

  • What was the Worst car you've ever owned?

    Jump

  • The Volt is a PHEV, I think the Bolt is the pure EV. I was considering its Vauxhall badged version years ago as a choice for a company car.

  • What is a good Linux Tablet for University

    Jump

  • I have an older, second hand Thinkpad Yoga but it has served me really well with Fedora installed on it.

    I also have a PineTab 2 but that has been a little bit of a rough start and still doesn't feel that great as a day to day device just yet

    Honesyly I think I prefer the laptop form factor over tablet + smart cover. Even my old Android Asus Transformer I used almost exclusively in laptop mode to do anything productive.

  • The UK is dealing with an even worse hurricane!

    Jump

  • Can confirm that the mach 70+ winds are so strong that it strips the flesh from the bone.

  • What camera do you have and what is your favourite type of photographs to take?

    Jump

  • A Nikon D3200 I've had for year I like using for nice landscape pictures and portraits but I used to use it as just my 'everything' camera - a role now taken by my phone.

    Sony Cybershot DSC-W12. This was my first digital camera and used to go absolutely everywhere with me. These days it still gets used but purely as an underwater camera for scuba diving as I have an underwater case for it.

  • I picked up one of those Mavicas in a car boot sale years ago, its remarkable how far things have come.

  • What happened on your worst birthday?

    Jump

  • My father died

  • Not okay

    Jump

  • I saw the thumbnail and thought it was a pic of Joey Jordison from when he was in Murderdolls...

  • I made a local APT repository that automatically fetches DEBs and AppImages from anywhere

    Jump

  • Willing to give this a go. My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get which works well but seems susceptible to issues when changes in the software it lists causes it to break and whilst the fix itself is usually made pretty quickly, it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software). If this is a viable replacement for it then i'd love to start using it.
