  • I remember before the Steam Deck was released, and people were discussing all the potential capabilities of the upcoming device, it was often asked if this might be a feature. Of course, there were the usual "It's a PC, so yes" answers, but the more accurate answers along the lines of "If it's not, someone will make it work" are finally coming true now.

  • Where are you seeing mention that the coma contributed to the choice to discontinue? I see in the !30rock@dubvee.org post that the community will be shut down despite the fact that the only mod is not able to even protest that decision or anything, but no other mention.

  • How would a web browser achieve that? The only thing I can think of is for the browser to choose what sort of web content should be filtered out and what should actually be displayed to the user, which I think we all agree is not what you would want your browser to choose.

  • And nope, not named after the Farscape character...

    Pronounced like “Erin”, it’s a name that we feel is more befitting of the project. Pulling from multiple etymologies, it’s a name that better describes the project now versus the project that started as Serpent OS.

    “Aer” is rather obvious, Latin in origin. The phonetic “Erin” is a nod to the Irish roots of the project, and of course a home. There are a number of reasons for the name, which will form part of the initial documentation on the new website.

    Our intent is to have a name that is more inviting, and more descriptive of the project’s goals and aspirations. We’re not anti-establishment or anti-corporation - if anything, we’re a statement that without the fiscal handcuffs, we can produce a technically sound and user-friendly operating system.

    What does AerynOS mean and how do I pronounce it?

    AerynOS is a stylised spelling of “Erin”, alluding to the project’s Irish roots. It is pronounced exactly the same as “Erin” - “AIR-in” OS. It’s also a play on “aer” and the phonetic “air” sound, indicative of our desire to produce an open, trusted and high-performance operating system.

    It’s pronounced as “AIR-in” OS.

  • Basically just 2048. I have actually had a single 7x7 game going for literally months.

  • There are definitely visual similarities, especially if you are watching the episode in 1960's quality. But in the modern remaster, the eyes look more like they are probably something like foam spheres with plastic gems glued on.

  • the eyes were microphone covers.

    This is the second time I have seen that said on Lemmy, and I just don't see it. Do you have a source for that? I cannot find anything.

  • Is this experience at Walmart specifically? The only store I go to regularly that has self-checkout machines is a local grocery store and I love them. No issues for me.

  • Your title makes this sound like a bad thing, but this looks like it would probably be preferable over being shown whatever it is YouTube wants you to see.

  • The culture of things that are not inherently political?

  • It does seem to be a coincidence. Or, perhaps that was chosen as the starting point, and after several rounds of focus groups, they settled on what we ended I'll with.

    I downloaded a copy of the album art, loaded it in GIMP, and used the color picker, and it considered that 89cd00. According to multiple sources online, it is officially 8ace00. Then, I compared those to a few possible 1337speak variations of the word "baddie".

  • Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

    Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.

    Why did you set an avatar for your profile?
