I could see lower-quality hardware that could hurt a Deck being prevented, but… A patent on third party-friendly hardware… from a company that is happy with people modding their games to death and resurrection?

That’s because of Qt and the KDE frameworks. …Sorry those are a necessity! Though, if you installed other KDE apps now, they’d be like, 80 MiB per app!

Hi fellow Mr. Clippit!

If you’re in the US, please come help expand [ https://consumerrights.wiki/ ]!

Love Tux’s eyes here.

I use Fluffychat. Element is more up-to-date with features, but I think I like the simplicity and feel of Fluffy. Both are available via F-droid at least. There probably are other methods. And yes, both have Linux desktop and developer-hosted web-apps.

FYI Matrix is not an app, but a protocol. Like how you can use different clients to connect to Lemm-Lemm, you can use different apps for Matrix, and not every app has all features. Heck, even the sync authentication systems (that allow you to export your messages to different devices) are different!

But then there’s the fact that you have manage your decryption keys on your own!

…

I think Signal is better for video calls.

It’s a bit less decentralized, but it’s a lot simpler. A popular thing about Signal is that Edward Snowden talked about a Signal update in a congratulative tone of voice.

Have to be honest! My own Termux install is 7 GiB! Used to be 8 with Debby on it. Used to be 3 since after uninstalling Debian. I had also cleaned out files. Will have to see why it’s 7 now.

Used to have a friend with a Fedora install that put Termux at 20 for them LOL.

Should use just Debian maybe, unless the Termux package is preferred. But having sudo is awesome!

Also I think I tried and uninstalled UserLAnd like two weeks ago because it wasn’t as smooth as I expected, I think.

Not saying anything bad about you, I must reconsider because you said so!!!

Uhm… Signal? Matrix?
I… I have a lot of friends IRL. I’m… I’m very fun at parties… B-believe me, bro!!!

Just saying, proot exists on Termux, too!
And Termux has Android hooks!

Not saying you should switch; please keep your love for your favorite app bubbling away! <3

Peeeeeeople whoooo aaare not naaaaatiiiiiiiive!
Speakeeeeeeeeeeers!

I agree! But I guess it is a good option for those who still just have to stick, for e.g. IT reasons. That script does a little bit more than a lot of debloating.

Could be any reasons, right? Gotta be mindful of those!..

…

Legacy personal projects!
Visual Studio!
Some games!
The sudden need for a Windows-only tool!

And some people still don’t want to switch away from… say, their Adobe tools. They don’t want to!

They don’t want to is what!

Same for say… those who want to play multiplayer games with… unfortunately, kernel-anti cheats…

There’s also folk who are stuck for organizational reasons like Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Here in India, Linux “market-share” jumped up to 14%, sure, but many, many people want to stick to Windows. Linux is an alien concept to most.

Must promote the good thing!

But rationality, man!

I am a happy Debian user, but TBH, it doesn’t take too much longer than 2 hours with Chris Titus Tech’s winutil.

Can’t speak a ton on the part about taking full advantage of your hardware, but Debian is THE Just Works™ solution of Linux distributions. I’ve had not a single problem on Debian. I was on rolling-release Ubuntu (actually, it was KDE Neon) for a year after my first few weeks on Kubuntu, on which Plasma was TERRIBLY broken at the time. It used to apparently be broken on either Kubuntu or Neon at any given time, and never both, and I think it’s stable enough everywhere now, but once I came to Debian, I have decided to never look back or “ahead”. There’s always an alternative method to achieve what you want on Debian.

Hmmm. Why not “said.it”, I wonder…?

Thanks for the calm-“[fake-]anger”. This is why I love Lemm-Lemm.

And I know I’m a month late. Sorry about that…

Since the last time I saw an image of him, I’ve become sure that Mark has amazing hair.

Even better, Debian. Most peaceful distro ever.

…A bit of a non-chill reply here, but apparently Unreal Engine can complete that wish.

Like, there was this captain America game set in 1943 Germany written by, I think, Uncharted’s writer, that was presented at State Of Unreal 2024. It looks insanely real and you can like, feel smoke in a burning barrel and all, so London could be modelled there as well.

Might not sound interesting - or maybe it isn’t even a “hot sauce”, but since it’s like, the only I know, schezwan.

(He da one trainin’ man 'buntu.)
