There is slightly more openness to androids layers than the win32 layers as well.
I still remember symlinking to binaries in my windows system folder back in the late 90s to be able to run office 95 under Linux. (The MSFT system files permitted some things to work properly that just didn’t with the wine provided libraries back then)
James May? Is that you?
I do exactly this, and use Keepass2Android on my phone and have nextcloud-KeeWeb installed.
Tangentally related - For anyone looking to take over a project, KeeWeb is looking for a new maintainer!
It’s an apt metaphor for the truth though, isn’t it?
You can use version numbers, but it’s on you to change them when new point releases drop.
I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.
It’s good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.
I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever.
If yours counts, mine does too.
This is what the Lapdock looks like:
I’ve got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.
My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.
Come to Germany for a visit.
I think it’s best to not defend kiddie porn, unless you have a republican senator in your pocket.
The last time my community found a PID.0 in our midst, he was beaten downtown in broad daylight by over a dozen assailants, no witnesses.
Sounds like they’ve stayed much the same.
There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.
In a way I’m glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can’t remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.
It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.
Ahhh Slackware.
Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?
I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.
I’ve run Minecraft: Bedrock on Linux/amd64 using a wrapper that repackaged the android distro. I was able to log in to my MS account and play on servers requiring the online authentication crap.
His SSD might be slightly damaged because of you.
Wow, you are full of poop.
I don’t understand. Are you saying you’re a racist, abusive, narcissistic fuckhead? Or that you’re fat?
The first board mount (actually through-board case mount) I recall seeing were HP socket 478. That horror-show of a socket also saw many plastic retention clip implementations that had a tendency to get brittle and crack. Socket 423 (which came before) had the same plastic junk mounts.
At 10 I was riding my bike into town, 2.5mi, on roads with limits as high as 50mph.
Sometimes I’d ride my bike in on a Sunday, get a lift home, skip the bus from school, walk to my friend’s house, play Nintendo for an hour, and ride my bike home. I’d get there the same time the bus would drop me off and I got to play Nintendo for an hour.
