I have a Chuwi Hi8, a cursed attempt at a x86 android tablet poorly pretending to also be a tabletPC. Debian runs fine on it. The only thing still not supported is automatic screen rotation. (it still took ten years to get the wifi to run with it though). So if it’s not supported now, someone will try to fix that.

So, ‘Under the dome’ but with the very rich instead of a random city, then.

So they’re working really hard to make impossible to enter their houses. How hard would it be to modify them to make it impossible to leave?

How about getting them to put an “e” after the “s” in their name instead?
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 2 weeks ago:
Because I try things before committing? ok.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t have to in order to figure out if Lemmy was something I wanted to use. Neither for IRC. That makes Discord vastly inferior to both.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 2 weeks ago:
I tried to get into it but with it being presented as IRC but “fun” on their website, I couldn’t really understand why so many nearly empty projects sites keep telling me to try their server for more (or any, really) information… Then I did try to accept an invite, but why the fuck to I need to create an account to know if I want to create an account to begin with? So now, anything promoting Discord as the main method of getting information simply set off my scam alert.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 2 weeks ago:
I tried it recently, I used a temporary account for it. I think IRC is way more user-friendly: I wasn’t allowed access to anything , for no stated reason. So as far as I’m concerned, Discord is where information goes to die. Too bad some project hide all of theirs there.

Note to self: start looking into building my own keyboards if it ever becomes standard, somehow.

- Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever 5 weeks ago:
Is it because Wine has improved, or because Windows has not?

We can be negative about him, if he prefers that way: He’s about as useful as his beloved AI, after all…

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 2 months ago:
And those machines are still good enough to browse the web, or for text processing. I usually set them up with a small SSD for booting fast and a large HDD for the /home folder. Hell I keep a D410PT around for the times I need an absolutely silent machine (Well, as soon as I buy a picoATX for it, it will be. Too bad I missed the computer-2 case).
- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 2 months ago:
A SATA SSD is a good way to speed up an aging machine, one without M2 slot. But glad to know I qualify as a professional user.
