If it happens, do post to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz. I know lots of people would be interested.

I don’t have an interest in the underlying project, but the default setup for Openbox on Archcraft looks really nice.

That’s cool. I agree that it’s not as portable as some other options, but it wouldn’t be able to do what it does if it was.

That’s why there’s still good options out there for everyone! It’s a great time for gaming.

I would actually recommend Spiral Linux if somebody new wanted to go with Debian. It’s the Debian analog to Endeavor.

Hey, that’s good to know!

And you’re entitled to your opinion. I also have small hands, and I don’t find its size or weight to be a problem for me.

This. I had a similar thing happen to a laptop, and it was indeed the CMOS battery.

I got a 1st Gen 3DS second hand some time ago. What I like:

• Pokemon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing.
• The 3D effect and dual cameras are neat, though a little gimmicky.

What I don’t like:

• The heavy reliance upon internet connectivity. I can’t change the details of the account on it without losing access to the downloaded games. I can’t even change it anyway, because the online store is closed.
• The control stick sucks. It’s good for a very flat control stick, but it doesn’t feel nice to use.
• Proprietary power connector.
• The viewing angle on the screen is pretty shallow.

I have a Steam Deck, and it’s just better in all respects. I get that it’s comparing a very new device against an old device, but I don’t really see a reason to pull out the 3DS when I could have a better experience on the SD.

This is a very good point, and it’s one of the reasons I don’t use my old laptop as an always-on server.

There’s a subset of the Linux/FOSS/etc. community who are Conservative, misogynistic, racist, and/or otherwise general bigots. Compare the Ventoy-bros against the Elon-bros, and you’ll see a similar pattern of behavior.

I don’t personally understand it, since development is still sometimes seen as “work for weirdo nerds,” so you’d think they would understand what it feels like to be rejected or bullied, but here we are. They manage to stay under the radar, because there’s usually no reason to discuss politics or philosophy when you’re debugging code.

That story was a journey.

Plasma has a Win 11 menu clone as well, iirc. I forget what it’s called.

Oh, so it’s not just me either. It’s one of the reasons I’ll never install Ubuntu.

No idea! It certainly had that screen, but I can’t recall if it was necessary. I’ll have to get my GBC out and see. It’s pretty smeary on my GBA.

• Petey Piranha
• Mewtwo

No idea.

Not a GBA game but a GB game: Solar Striker

Still have never beat it to this day.

Way more fun, too.

I never could understand the appeal of that game.

That’s kind of my thought as well. It’s certainly possible someone might go through the effort to find a single pirate downloading The Lion King, but that’s a lot of effort (read: money) to find just one person.

There’s certainly the possibility that an ISP could note that you connected to a VPN, but given that it’s not a remarkable event, since people connect to VPNs for all kinds of legal reasons, they aren’t likely to track your particular IP’s connection to a VPN apart from a court ordering them to care. They get paid their monthly internet plan price whether someone pirates or checks their email.

If someone was running the Pirate Bay from their home servers, however, more parties would likely be interested in finding that person, and that person’s threat model probably exceeds just using a logless VPN.

How so, specifically for logless VPNs?
