To expand on this: most Linux users have some proprietary software on their computer. Whether it’s a GPU driver, a video codec, or some applications they find useful. While it is possible to use a computer with a fully FOSS distro I don’t think that’s the norm.

We’ll build our own puters. With hookers, and blackjack!
Agree, playing through TOTK right now and I fight everything, backflips ftw.

Woodworking@lemmy.ca•What is the best way to repair this large crack UPDATED
8·1 month agoYou could fill in the larger areas with wood shims and then finish off the face with wood putty, basically wood glue with sawdust mixed in. You can buy it premade. It stains more like wood than glue does.

Remember, if you pay for any AI products you are rewarding this behavior.
Gonna need a lot more plants
As a fellow old I can confirm. But I also think it’s highly likely to be a Photoshop job.

Politics@beehaw.org•Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani
2·3 months agoI have to agree. I couldn’t read the whole article. I think the message is interesting but it seems like half of every paragraph is just flowery language.

Games@lemmy.world•The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS RetrospectiveEnglish
1·3 months agoIf it was actually pocketable I would have bought a second switch for on the go. But it’s not small enough for that, and it drops functionality from the slightly larger model. If either changed I think it would have sold better.

Games@lemmy.world•The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS RetrospectiveEnglish
1·3 months agoI think not being dockable killed it for most people, that and it not being a pocket system. I think if either of those changes the for the better it would sell well. If it doesn’t fit in my pocket I might as well get the big one that docks so I can play on the TV when I’m in the mood.

Games@lemmy.world•The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS RetrospectiveEnglish
11·3 months agoI have a feeling that a Switch 2 Lite is on the horizon, Nintendo loves a console variant. Not that the S1 lite is pocketable, but maybe they will shrink it more this time. I went down a somewhat similar path, only for me it was GBA and emulation on my Steam Deck that really made me realize I missed having pocket games that are real games and not mobile bullshit. I modded my old GBA with a modern screen and battery and it’s been my goto device for portable games. The OG DS dropped as I was graduating highschool and going into college, and the 3DS completely passed me by. I keep thinking about getting a used one but their prices are still a little high for me.
No but for real, wtf is this thing?
Damn, you take your noodles very seriously.








Yeah, if we lump microcode and firmware into the mix the list of working systems gets very short.
