I've never put any money in this game. I remember I feel like a decade+ ago they had that ship hanger demo that was the only thing available at the time. I think I installed that. Whatever. If people fund this game and it ends up solid someday I'll enjoy it

Every year will be easier than the last I guess. I've been reading about attempts for well over a decade. LibreOffice is way better than it was a decade ago. I felt like Google Docs would eventually be the downfall of MS Office because how schools were using it and everyone getting used to exporting as PDF to submit

Ideally we keep snowballing the idea of using open source art tools over American proprietary ones as at least a means of national self-resolve. So like Blender, Krita, Kdenlive, Ardour, etc

When Ubisoft introduced always online DRM with AC2, I was out. It's nice with the Internet how much being anti-Ubisoft has become common enough to be unsurprising

Switch to Linux. Don't use Microsoft email. If possible don't use MS Office and if you currently need it, encourage Libreoffice, OnlyOffice, etc

Have you ever heard how super Saiyan is said in Japanese, the base language of the series?

It's a Debian VM so you can install whatever software is available in the Debian package manager. Full blown ffmpeg for video processing. Install imagemagick and do some conversions on your images. Code compilers so develop your android applications on your android phone. Use your old phone as a Jellyfin media server.

Once GUI applications start working, use desktop software like Blender and Ardour. Desktop Firefox, Chrome. Desktop VLC. Desktop office suites like OnlyOffice and Libreoffice. Maybe it'll let you install any deb installer and you can install Davinci Resolve. This Debian VM may make Android replace ChromeOS and be Androids solution to a companion desktop environment that has access to a plethora of powerful desktop software

Depends on how performant this VM is especially if it can utilize the phones GPU well. If the GPU passes into the VM well then that opens up a lot

You get access to desktop Linux applications which can be very good. May really enhance Android devices ability to be a laptop replacement. My personal laptop is an Ultrabook from 2017. Practically every phone released these days are more powerful than it

Like say if you had a video that was 1920x1080 but the actually something by something. If you googled how to detect what the dimensions inside the black border are and crop them, you'd probably find ffmpeg commands to run and crop it. With the VM just run the ffmpeg commands

Maybe it's a really good VM and you could use desktop Linux applications well. Now you can get access to desktop Linux Davinci Resolve, Krita, Ardour, Audacity, etc. Last testimonials I've seen is that GUI applications don't work yet but that's a work in progress

If you're a software developer now your phone can conceivably be solid for work. gcc, g++, npm, javac, etc. Maybe it'll make developing Android apps on an Android phone very viable. Java/Kotlin compiler

Maybe this may help make your old android phone age well like using a phone to be a Jellyfin media server or some home automation computer, voice assistant, rather than buy something from Amazon

I haven't tried it but there's a lot of computing power in modern phones that are wasted. Phones have been more powerful than Raspberry Pi's since forever and those are the backbones of so many things out in the world you'd generally never notice

Desktop Linux has a lot of familiar software that people use on Macs and Windows machines. Android getting access to desktop Linux applications makes it seriously usable as a dockable PC

Just the initial wave. The next one should be a way bigger response to the blanket EU tariff

Hopefully they slap back with and then the EU responds is quick to respond to this recent April tariffs. Slap tariffs on US services

No. They aren't available widespread enough off the Internet, not marketed enough, too heavy. Maybe a hypothetical future Switch 2 and Switch Lite

Nahh. It'd be better if Europe placed higher tariffs especially on Musk owned companies. Ban them from government contracts

The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you're a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft's shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

No country, no non-American company should capitulate to American demands currently. Let dementia Donald and friends flail for a bunch of hollow victories and have their obituaries become holidays

People should get it in their mind to never buy Tesla vehicles for the rest of their lives

Trump tariffs and he can't afford more shit held against him. Bytedance is going to come out of this doing well

Americans are going to be significantly re-evaluating what's worth it for them now and progressively become more like consumers in other countries. As in they'll be spending less and using things longer than before

I'd consider it. If they host things outside of the US/start moving operations overseas, it'd be a lot more interesting. I sub to Proton for email, VPN, and drive support. Still hoping someday for proper Linux drive support so Mozilla/Thunderbird can target that

That's a clown makeup moment for Zorin OS

Pretty much. Everyone else will be able to trade with the east and southeast Asian countries business as usual. Maybe even more now that the US is making themselves less price competitive. The bad thing for the EU could be the drop in sales to the US not being replaced fast enough outside of the US leading to squeezing existing customers for more cash or possibly some businesses failing

How are they even coming up with the number all these countries supposedly tariff the US?
