Just wait for some corporate white knight to come here and explain how EU is stopping innovation. Love these guys, I always have a bag of popcorn at the ready.

And yet they were perfectly okay with providing the service for free while they were still busy starving off the competition. No tears for Google shall be shed here.

The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you're interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/

In your specific case, it's twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

As a lifetime PC gamer, I wholeheartedly agree. There were many console games I had been envious about in the PS2, PS3 or PS4 era. Now? Nope, nothing. Partially because the industry got so bad I'm hardly interested in most new games, but the exclusives are pretty much non-existent in the genres I'm interested in.

I swear, soon the terms "fediverse" and "federated" will get muddled up like when people have been saying "open source" when they mean "free (as in free beer)".

Now let's see whether Mastodon users will allow Threads users to follow the Mastodon users.

I wouldn't get a case for the sake of protection but I'm more than happy with my Dbrand Kill Switch case due to its added usability. The kickstand is a must for me when placing a powered on Steam Deck on soft items such as pillows not to block the air vents. Being able to put the cover on and leave Steam Deck standing upright saves unreal amount of space on my desk compared to how it was before. If you'd rather go with something slimmer, there is also Deckmate.

So first you claim it's all lies and didn't happen, only to follow with "This was only one incident, and hopefully it won’t be repeated elsewhere"? Which one is it then?

Maybe you're right, the jump from pure GUI to the Windows CLI is probably a much bigger paradigm shift than between these two CLIs. I was mostly worried about OP getting discouraged from ever dabbling in CLI due to the Windows one being terrible.

The Windows command line is nothing like the Linux one. It's much less pleasant to use too.

It's not free speech unless you mute people telling you you're wrong when you speak.

Well, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don't need to be treated with hostility.

Oh, that's amazing to hear! I prefer the design of RetroDECK over Emudeck a lot, so I'm more than happy to migrate back then.

From my experience Retrodeck tends to lose the config files a lot during updates. So far I'm yet to experience that with Emudeck.

EDIT: Apparently it was a bug and it's been fixed almost a year ago, see the dev reply below. Don't let my comment discourage you from choosing RetroDECK!

Sounds like the current law, except for the last point. The problem is with enforcing compliance.

Either FR or PFP. "FR" just feels like another filler word. PFP... I'm too used to calling them "avatars", it just feels wrong and superfluous. I'm probably aging myself here.

A computer preinstalled with Linux is definitely more likely to confuse than you imagine

I can only see it being the case if there is an implicit assumption these people are already familiar with Windows. If we remove that assumption, I can see it going either way, but it's not even remotely "definitely more likely to confuse".

Same here. Both "content" and "creator". It's so vague it means nothing at all.

Creator of what?

I'm aware but thank you. I've tried it before and didn't like it. Maybe I'll give it another shot, though I don't see much benefit in tying my music player to Emacs.
