That’s because they sell at community prices for little to no profit, either at cost or close to it. They’ve talked about eventually trying to get their prices into retail outlets with a retail markup, which would also pay for retail-level support rather than community support.

In other words, if you buy community, you’re buying just the hardware, and the community provided the software.

Do yourself a favor and nab Pinetab 2. The wifi and bluetooth drivers aren’t ready yet (you’ll need a dongle or to tether a phone,) but that’s part of the fun: you can join the Discord channel and watch the discussions and commits happening in real time.

For SBC, you can’t beat Raspberry Pi. The ecosystem is just there and the support outclasses every other board.

For hardware based on SBCs, Pine64 hands down. Devices like the Pinebook and Pinetab are SBCs in a hardware shell and as such should feel like cheap gadgets, but their build quality is excellent and these feel like premium devices. I have just started messing with the Pinetab 2 and it feels like a device 3x its price, to the degree that I don’t mind that the drivers and software for it are still a work in progress.

Minecraft is a procedurally generated open world video game.

For multiplayer, the computer hosting the game has to be able to load the portion of the world for each player. Having a dedicated computer hosting the server allows for much smoother gameplay experience then trying to have a single PC both run the server and client.

The machine we used for the server was literally one of my wife’s old work PCs and we just use it to host these types of games. We previously ran an ARC: Survival Evolved server on it.

I can tell whether a food has milk in it simply by eating it and waiting a few minutes.

It’s kind of a shitty superpower, to be honest.

He didn’t ask them permission nor ask what they felt the joke was worth. He just used it and then told them what they’d be getting in return.

If I took your phone and then sent you a check for $500, you’d probably still consider it to be stolen. I didn’t “buy” your phone because you never agreed to give it to me.

Sealioning = curiosity + harassment

Yes. I like reddit’s posts more, but the Memmy app is more stable on my phone than the official reddit app, plus no ads. So I’m currently using both, but as Lemmy’s community grows and matures I’ll probably start using reddit less.

You need to figure out:

• What you like
• What you’re good at (or can become good at with training/a degree)
• What people will pay you to do

If you like something, you’re good at it, and people will pay you to do it, that’s a career. Stick with it your entire life.

If you’re good at something and people will pay you to do it but you don’t like it, that’s a job. Work it to pay the bills, but don’t be afraid to jump ship as soon as something better comes along.

If you like something and are good at it but no one will pay you to do it, that’s a hobby. You’ll need to supplement that with a job to get by.

If you like something and people will pay you for it but you’re not good at it, fake it ‘till you make it, my friend.

The Godfather Part II

When Michael is told about the abortion, you see him register surprise, then hurt, then anger before he finally lashes out. The scene only takes a couple seconds, but you can see the progression in front of your eyes.

Ubuntu around 2006-2007, not sure the exact one I used.

Ads

I’ve been doing walks at lunch when the weather’s nice and using it as a chance to catch up on classic rock albums. Listened to Les Zeppelin II for the first time an hour ago and it still slaps.

Probably, but we have no actual evidence of them at the moment.

The sad truth is that businesses think giving rich people free things will make them more money. Why would a fashion designer invite her to a private exhibition and feed her caviar? They think she’ll buy a lot of product. Why does the hotel give her a free room in exchange for a picture? They assume she’ll rent 100 rooms to other people on social media. Why does no one kick her out of the VIP lounge? They assumed she paid for it with an overpriced ticket.

It’s all transactional to those people.

Yes. The first season seems a bit geared toward children, but that improves in seasons 2-3.

I would watch through at least Season 3 of Clone Wars first (and preferably all the way to the end) as Rebels resolves Darth Maul’s storyline from CW.

Maybe you would like an immutable distro such as Fedora Silverblue?

Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?

You’ve gotten a lot of good replies, so I’ll give you an example:

My wife and I set up a Minecraft server on an old work computer of hers. We would SSH in, start the server, and play. However, if the host lost the SSH session, the entire server would crash because the session would close.

With tmux, we could attach, start the server, and unattach. I could start the server and later my wife could attach to close it. I could SSH on my phone via iSH, attach, start the server, unattach, and close the app. We could troubleshoot mods together, since we could both see everything that happened in the session on our screens.

It offered a level of flexibility a traditional SSH session doesn’t give.
