Got it. No worries, I apologize if I came across as grumpy as well. For what it’s worth, there were a few things I liked from the direct (Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and 3 seconds of Silk Song).

Yes. Does that refute my point?

So you need to maintain an online membership to retain access to these games, right?

You will own nothing and be happy, I guess.

no

Adding on to Windows: There’s no way (in the UI) to add symlinks. In Windows 10, symlinks must be created in an administrative command prompt. It is pretty damn clunky.

I’ll have to look into that distro later. Anything particularly noteworthy about it, besides the symlink abuse?

Edit: I did some rudimentary searching, apparently it’s a meta distro that let’s you mix and match stuff from multiple linux distros: https://bedrocklinux.org/

That’s actually pretty wild. I might play around with this in the future

Hey no worries, we all start somewhere.

Now that you know about symlinks, you can get creative with them: https://sparkventure.net/the-versatility-of-symbolic-links-in-linux-a-guide-with-examples/

The hard part now is to avoid overdoing it: https://www.ceos3c.com/linux/understanding-linux-symbolic-links-a-beginners-guide/#best-practices-and-common-pitfalls

Thanks for the rare, rational comment regarding Obsidian. Many people here seem to think releasing software as closed source automatically means you have something to hide; seemingly forgetting we live in a capitalist system in which you must constantly sell your services to survive. (I am saying this as someone who adores FOSS and donates to most of my homelab software on a regular basis).

I think a more productive way to look at is: is the closed source dev friendly (or at least non-hostile) to the open source community? In the case of Obsidian, they haven’t done anything egregious, and regularly contribute to open source plugins. Furthermore, the notes are stored as markdown files. This gives the user strong resistance against potential enshittification, so even if they did go rogue you can just move to some other text editor lol. Granted, you would miss out on plugins but otherwise that’s a good reason to keep your plugin usage light and plan your Obsidian vault accordingly.

I’ve been waiting for this since playing the Steam Next fest demo. Glad to see it’s out now

Cruelty Squad lookin ass

If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It’s an open source app that’s similar to YNAB

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual

Edit:

Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

I began feeling old when re**itors started calling their site an ‘app’

I bet OP posted this using an iphone, I am very ismart vuvusela
