  Notice to everyone about GOG Galaxy not in Linux: there is MiniGalaxy. It’s not official but it works.

  There’s also a network version of LO.

  And maybe those are only the one that download it directly. But every Linux user downloads it from other repos.

  I think the “normal” usage is having an always on computer as a server and link all other devices to that one for updates.

  Not so far. LibreOffice has a network version.

  That’s why I think having a decentralized network where one of the instances belongs to the government is a good idea. If the government is only another player and not the only ruler it’s safer for the network. But it’s the same for every big company. I don’t want another Meta or Google.

  The Orange Turd thinks the S in BRICS is not South Africa but Spain so…

  I though some years ago that’d a funny take on magic would be having a world with magic, wizards, witches, dragons, … and after building that world comes an spaceship and some people jumps out and says that magic is just the tech they left behind millennia ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best looking retro console or PC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Atari Portfolio (the one John Connors uses in Terminator 2) or the ST Book.

  About the A1200, I think there’s a niche for Raspberry Pi cases that look like vintage computers. Imagine having a case that looks like an A1200, another one that looks like a Falcon, the Sony HitBit, …

  Funny thing about the PS2 Fat design: it’s an Atari design. It was a project for the Falcon 040 that was never released.

  If I understand it correctly you want something like what Mastodon has, splitting “your stream” and “world stream”, being the second the default one. Am I right?

  My wife had a crosslink in one eye and is really happy with it. Except for the first days (pain killers).

  The full name of Mexico is “Mexican United States”. Not joking.

  Depending on the safety glasses I find they fit better behind the other glasses. Unless they are ski type.

  Have you asked for a transplant?
