For me the biggest surprise was that old ps2 usb racing sim wheel+pedals just worked instantly with linux, and I could use it in dirt rally without any pains. It felt amazing. oculus quest 2 also works very well with alvr, even wirelessly.

I consider e-mails to be digital versions of postcards. Both are obsolete but have some usage scenarios. There is no need to use private communication in obsolete postcard type messaging, so there is no need for encryption. For private communications there are other better(easier) means which people use.

Amazing! I find it extremely fascinating that somebody is able to create entire operating system. Not a easy task!

which is also owned by microsoft, that uses github data to train large language model. So, after decades of trying to kill linux and sabotage it, they finally figured out how to own it.

I don't know...When I was kid we used to talk poking memory addresses for cheats while playing c64 games and we were all 9-11 years old. Kids do darnest things.

I am so glad i sold my ps4 and instead of getting ps5 gotmyself a steam deck. Life is so much more fun with free multiplayer, cheap games and open source linux.

I have ryzen 2400G. no Windows 11 for that cpu. 2018 is too old I guess. Anyway Linux of course works and steam nowadays works so well with windows games I really have no reason for windows 11 anyway.

yes, very nice indeed, but it is 2024. Why I cannot install linux to my phone as easily as i can to my lenovo laptop? I am just so tired to android and ios. They are stagnated and do not offer anything special to me.

I kinda did this when i got my steam deck. I mounted my nas to steam deck, added it as a steam storage and moved my games there. It works rather well. No storage required on steam deck. It is slower than playing from SD, but not that bad on smaller games.

I have outsourced all bs e-mails to chatgpt. It used to take 15-20 minutes to write "corporate emails" but now i just write them to chatgpt in real life language and it converts them. Works well. Bosses are happy, so am I.
