Yep, waydroid init -s GAPPS. But it will complain when first trying to sign in with Google so you’ll have to authorize the device.

That looks like such a cool device! I’ve been wondering what to replace my 2017 macbook with in the next few years and it’s nice to see more options to consider. Maybe it won’t be a refurbished ThinkPad.

I’ve had this error upon random reboots after upgrading to Linux 6.8 on 5950x. Went back to 6.7.9 and hasn’t happened again since. What version are you on? Would be interesting to know.

That’s funny that you mention hardware, cause in Germany you pay a set fee for each device (13.19€ for a computer, 6.25€ for a phone) on purchase since it could be used to create copies of media.

I’m just getting my money’s worth, officer.

Me with a Vega 64… the forgotten platform. A few games will just straight up reset my gpu with certain instructions, taking the whole system with it. I can’t even play Minecraft with a Mesa version newer than 2 years anymore due to regressions.

Good thing to know 7800 XT is also cursed though, I was planning on getting that one to escape my situation. lol.

As a fan of Sega’s Jet Set Radio, we got Bomb Rush Cyberfunk by an indie which is so much of a clone that it’s considered an unofficial sequel, and we all love it.

I was trying to think why people would use it who have all their email in one web page already.

I would prefer a web client (since emails are already interlinked with the web so a tab for it is less annoying to me) but none of the options satisfied me so I just landed there. You either use a provider with already good web mail (gmail, proton, …) or you end up with Thunderbird.

But maybe I’ve missed an option. The best one I’ve had was Nextcloud Mail but it was really slow to load and search.

Beeper’s backend is also fully open-source, there’s nothing stopping you from hosting your own iMessage bridge and accessing it via any matrix client.

I once wasted 2 hours on getting an ssl cert working on an irc server by just giving its user access to my nginx certs, which turned out to also need +x. That was when I realized everything I knew about the execute permission was wrong.

I love their approach to Hardware and Linux but have we collectively forgotten that Valve had a huge part in pushing loot boxes and underage gambling? Far from being the least evil company, but still a net win for consumers and I appreciate that they exist.

It’s a music tracker + finder + social network. You can see how your taste changes over time. Personally my favorite feature is the weekly stats with a genre timeline.

hehe

If you want an online tool, cobalt.tools can rip the original youtube audio if you choose “best” format in settings -> 🎶. It’s also FOSS with no tracker/ad garbage so I can recommend it as an alternative for yt-dlp which has been mentioned already.

Doesn’t help that in the past month both CS2 and CS2 came out.

They’ve adopted this return policy only after being sued by the Australian ACCC.

I bought a used magic trackpad 1 to use on Linux. It works quite well out of the box including multi touch capabilities but sometimes if you do a lot of movement in one go it will lag behind. The newer ones can be used wired and use higher Bluetooth versions so that’s hopefully not an issue.

One noticeable limitation for all is that they run at 90 Hz which is noticeable on a 144 Hz screen, but there aren’t really alternatives as far as I could find.

At least for anything statically linked where the GPL code would end up as part of your binary and force you to GPL your own code I believe.

Anything more lax is fine, so you could also release your code under MIT license if you use GPL modules. Yes, it does force you to release your code but after all it’s a protection for the user. Furthermore, GPL does not mean your software has to be free of charge, you can still sell it as long as you attach the source code for the end user.

Especially after hearing that some sticks/touchpads (I can’t remember what) don’t work immediately after booting into Steam OS with the new SSD.

No need to worry, this is just because the recovery image installs an older SteamOS version which does not support the updated firmware of the controls.

The touchscreen and especially mice and keyboards connected via USB should always work, then after a system update that gets you back to a recent SteamOS version the controls will work again as well.

I wonder if this is due to antitrust law reasons. Already low Linux market share + secure boot having made installation even harder does not set a good precedent for Microsoft.
