I use Gpoddersync to keep my phone and tablet in sync, but I have one podcast that keeps glitching out and redownloading over and over. Not sure why.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try tonight!

I’ve been fighting with it since 5.5. I was able to play in Fedora 42 using Proton Experimental this morning, but it’s been super hit and miss for me.

I did an entire math course on my BigMe Inknote Plus. It cost too much, but came with a good pen and worked really well for math.

I got an N100 SZBox for cheap a few years ago(?) That has a big USB HDD drive plugged into it. Handles 1080p in house just fine, and I think the bloody hard drive eats more power than it does!

That article had 891 “partners”. Holy hell.

I would ask Randall Munroe!

I own a Mode 7 Retro ii flip phone. Modern Android, tiny screen on the top, number pad on the bottom which I never use, and the dang thing fits nicely in my pocket and the screen never gets scratched. Faux leather on the outside. One of my profs literally calls me “Flip phone.” I do carry a tablet a lot of the time, so my phone is mostly for calls and podcasts. I doom scroll on the tablet.

I meant to say “accept”, but I think it works either way…

I support you!

Yup. A few games are like that for me. I set Steam to use compatibility with all games, and the only ones that don’t work at all are the anti-cheat ones. Even the new Monster Hunter works great for me. I have a mix of Nvidia and AMD GPUs, so it’s not just smug Linux AMD talking, either.

I find that a number of my games don’t say they’re Linux compatible, but work just fine. But that’s not what everyone says.

I tried it in Lutris and in a VM, neither worked. I never tried it just in Wine. Hmm… Well, I have two weeks left of school, so I don’t know if it’s worth trying anymore.

I agree, and I take it this far: “I worked hard and paid for my house, why should some lazy loafer get housing for free? I paid 24,000$ in tuition, why should kids get free college?” I think that, at some point, one guy has to be the first guy to benefit from progress, and all the people who didn’t benefit just have to suck it up. I would 100% pay a much higher tax rate if it meant that homelessness was gone, hunger was gone, kids got free education… I’m Canadian, so I don’t need to say this about health care. Yeah, I paid an awful lot of mortgage, but if someone else gets a free house? Good!

If you plan on dual booting, remember to disable fast startup on the windows side, or you won’t be able to access the windows partition(s) as read/write in Linux. I have to dual boot for school, (God damn you, Lockdown Browser!) But as soon as I’m done, I’m dropping MS like the hot steaming pile it is.

Also, if you use a really easy to remember password… I like P@ssw0rd! Easy to remember, and nobody will ever guess it because, get this… The ‘o’ is actually a zero!

When it wouldn’t charge, I assumed I had a defective unit, so I emailed them and got no response. Posted on the kickstarter page, nothing. Straight onto the “I’m never using this but can’t bring myself to chuck it” shelf.

Be careful with disk destroyer!

So, I thought I bought this… It’s a kickstarter called the OKpad. Word of warning: it is not OK.Run screaming! The e-ink bit? No backlight, no rotation, no keyboard. The LCD bit? Meh. Takes a day and a half to charge, runs out in three or four hours. Runs out while plugged in! Four releases back on Android. So, yeah, OKpad sucks.

Block the trolls, I just did!
