A study comparing the environmental impacts of various single-use beverage containers has concluded that glass bottles have a greater overall impact than plastic bottles

But… but… Glass is not single use. That is the whole point. I don’t like this article.

Have you heard? The release candidate of 1.0 dropped just a few days ago. It looks very interesting.

I also felt a little underwhelmed, I thought the installation would be more difficult.

If you are not in it for the memeing I find it to be a great distro.

I also vote for a writeup. This sounds awesome!

At first I did, but i really like vim now

Then it still doesn’t take away anything from you. How would an additional embedded web based control panel impact you negatively? If you don’t use it just don’t use it. But it ensures longevity and makes the device entirely self-contained.

Its still stupid. No reason there is no embedded web interface. That is such an easy thing to do. Like routers have been doing for ages.

Yes, really. If my move tool is set to layer move, dont change it just because I used the select tool for something completely unrelated. That is the typical dumbed down big colorful button approach that I hate in modern corporate software.

archbtw is a great hostname

That is a pretty close approximation.

Binary wysiwyg is shit for versioning, I hate it. Plaintext is fine but limited. I like both markdown and tex.

It literally list the entities that can see your activity. Websites you visit, your employer/school, your isp. It conviniently leaves out the browser from this list. Its very misleading.

Pbs eons is awesome.

We all get that the design paradigm is “a secure, sandboxed environment per app”. We just know its a retarded design.

What do you mean lately? I personally repaired a drifting xbox360 controller, and that console was released almost 20 years ago. I assume the controller was just a few years younger than that. I think eventually all potentiometers develop this issue.

I’ve seen those in disassembly videos of the steam deck and the switch maybe. But all the standalone controllers I personally have taken apart were soldered in place. eg. xbox360, dualshock4, some generic third-party ones.

As far as I know its the graphite parts inside the potmeter that wears down.

It happens because from normal use the potentiometer inside the joystick wears out. Usually you can buy joystick assemblies for a 1/10 of the price of a controller, so if you can solder its very affordable to repair them.

If you dont want to solder, you can extend their life by applying a bit of contact spray to the potmeters inside after disassembling the controller. But that can corrode other components, so be careful with it. Still beats just throwing them out.

I like the wonky icons on the left a lot. GNU is so unreasonably ugly, I can’t not love it.

But but but… Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.
