GNU was founded because Richard Stallman was frusterated with a printer’s proprietary software.

Marxism is the one thing that has given me hope for the future when everything now constantly looks so bleak.

Richard Wolff is who got me into Marxism personally.

That looks like exactly what I need. Seems to work pretty well already.

Thanks!

Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.

Either wireless adb, or sometimes a USB A to USB A cable with the power cut will work.

Wireless is easier.

Try either installing via adb using the “-g” argument to grant all permissions, or try granting permissions manually via adb.

I use it on my Android TV to reduce the brightness further during nighttime. I don’t change the color temperature, though.

You can use Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac.

Both Windows and Mac come with package managers of sorts. Windows has WinGet and the Windows Store. Mac has the App Store.

JonTron made a video about him recently.

BTW, to wrap code in markdown, use ```

SteamOS is unique in that it’s an immutable OS (which means basically everything out of the /home folder is not modifiable by the user). This limits you to package management that works within the /home folder, which is basically just flatpak and AppImages by default. You can also use things like nix, but that’s a bit more complex.

Modifying the SteamOS system still is possible with utilities like rwfus, but that’s a bit more complex (OverlayFS is the keyword to look up if you’re curious).

With normal, mutable distros, you are able to modify the entire root of the filesystem, which means there are no restrictions on how you can modify your OS, and you can use regular package managers that do so for you.

Also FYI, flatpaks work on every distro, so anything that’s available on the SteamOS Discover store will also be available on every other distro. It uses flathub.org

Not sure about Reaper, but most Windows-only VSTs work fine on Linux using yabridge in my experience. Some DRM can have issues, though, and sometimes you need to install dependencies using winetricks.

Also, I noticed you mentioned using Ubuntu since Mullvad is supported. I have a feeling that you’re attempting to download software through websites instead of using your distro’s repo or by using flathub. Downloading software “the Windows way” by using websites isn’t recommended unless it is not available on repos. Mullvad works on every distro, for example, and is available on most repos.

I’m not talking about emulating the consoles; I am talking about hacking them to run unsigned code.

IIRC Sony allowed Linux to be ran on both the PS2 and PS3 so that they could sell the systems as computers in the US instead of video game consoles, since computers have a lower import tax rate compared fo video game systems.

This was, of course, until Sony removed OtherOS support in the PS3 firmware 3.21 on phat models after shipping Slim units without OtherOS and then got sued for it. It was removed because George Hotz found an exploit in OtherOS that allowed for full access to the hardware, as OtherOS did not have full access to the GPU hardware of the PS3. Ironically, this made the PS3 more of a target to hackers, since hackers generally just want to be able to run homebrew on their devices that they bought. This is why the Xbox One and Series consoles were never hacked, since they allow for homebrew via DevMode.

Boeing has since been expanding who they kill to include passengers on their commercial airplanes along with whistleblowers. Can’t say they’re not trying.

The difference between “open source” and “free software” isn’t a definitional one, but a philosophical one.

Still none of the actually good versions of MS-DOS, like 3.3, 6.22, or 7.10. They try to virtue signal that they care about historical preservation and open source and they can’t even do that right.

MS-DOS 4.0 was like the Windows ME or Vista of its day. People just stuck to 3.3 because of how bad it was.

There’s also Playlet for Roku users, which is an Invidious client.

There’s a reason uBlock Origin overtook Adblock Plus in popularity.
