Same here. I think we’re Puppy Linux or XUbuntu maybe? I’m trying to pick a distro that’s different, while also killing conversations among enthusiasts… Because all of my coffee enthusiast conversations inevitably die when I I mention tea.
Where would I even start.
There’s a lot of good information provided video game reviewers. I tend to start there, when looking for something new.
In particular, I’ve learned about entire genres such as “cozy games” and “couch co-op”, that way. Then, once I know what the genre I’m in the mood for is called I can search for “best cozy games of 2020”, to find ideas of what I might like to try.
In order to not worry about whether each game will run, I feel that the SteamDeck is the current nicest all around game console available, followed by the Nintendo Switch.
You mean the “Slow Children”? I’m glad someone is looking out for them.
This is Soo cool. I’m excited.
I’m going to try it on my SteamDeck, but I don’t think it will be the same without the rapid hand strain of reaching across an anti-ergonomic IBM keyboard to hit combos.
Honestly, hand strain is the only reason I ever stopped playing this.
The first thing I do to, if I need to get the size down, is swap out Gnome for one of the X11 Windows managers, usually XFCE.
I usually do this by starting from the minimal install and building up, as schizo already suggested.
That said, I guess I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that Linux Mint is an easy way to get Debian’s core with the XFCE window manager.
Looks like Mint starts at 3GB - 8GB, depending on options chosen?
Disclaimer: It’s honestly been awhile since I really paid attention to my own Linux install size, as long as it’s below 40GB.
the live disk won’t find my Wifi
Oof.
In case it helps: I have solved that problem for myself using a $9.00 USB Wifi dongle.
For whatever reason (other contributors facing the same issue?), I have found that every cheapo USB Wifi dongle I have tried has worked perfectly with the minimal Linux images.
I realize I might have just gotten really lucky a bunch of times, but it could be worth a try.
Is…uh… Is That a real sticker or pin I could purchase somewhere?
Very nice.
I love the overall vibe, and the feeling of the space
You can have a website that scrapes all that noise everywhere else mushes it up into a flavorless paste
Perfect summary. Someone send this to Zuckerberg to use in his next press release.
Fuck everyone else that isn’t me!
Somehow as I read this sentence, stars and stripes and a bald eagle appeared behind it.
Wow. This really blew up.
Just like that guy’s hand!
Lol. Good point.
I’ve been enjoying these updates. Thanks.
Dang. Not a scrap of awareness of the irony, in the article.
I’ll bet substantial amounts of money that the claim of “advanced reasoning abilities” will be ruled to be outright fraud, if it ever goes to court.
It’s the same claim made by traveling freak shows about horses that solve algebra problems, and the technology is essentially the same, under all the abstractions - learning models are great at repetition, and don’t understand jack shit, today.
“We’re confident that the AI we sell can take care of everything…except anything we actually want to see get done correctly (such as selling it).”
They are solvable problems, and many have already been solved already in some countries.
This is a great point!
Yeah. At least until his yes-men high five him and slap him on the back on his way to board the deep space or deep sea vessel that he designed himself.
But losing 75% of population, I can see some nuclear war breaking out
Seems pretty likely (eventually). I take hope that I’ll be in the direct blast radius, and not a mutilated horribly scarred survivor.
I choose not to think about this one much because it’s well outside my circle of influence.
The current trend sucks, obviously.
But historically, we used to be so much worse to each-other.
There’s reasons (data and practicality) to have faith that things will continue to improve.
But it won’t be enough, for many of us, in many of our lifetimes, so let’s all stay angry and active.
Thank you for your service to the public.
