Definitely sounds like it could be real. If I had to guess their mounting a drive (or another partition) and it’s defaulting to read only. When restarting it resets the original permissions as they only updated the file permissions, but not the mount configuration.
Also reads like some of my frustrations when first getting into Linux (and the issues I occasionally run into still).
Yeah, I was interested in the idea cause I have a saturn which is a bit beaten up, but if I can’t play the disc’s I have why would I bother.
Am I an idiot or isn’t the “pip vs conda vs poetry” line talking about package management?
This is what I was going to say.
With things like wsl, conda has also become less useful. Anaconda is terrible software and the need for conda managed packages is mostly lost outside of the windows OS in my opinion.
Upvote for 40 puzzles, great game(s)!!
It felt like they leaned too hard on the wacky seed effects than actual good platforming (maybe slightly afraid to follow user generated levels from Mario maker).
I saw so much praise for the singing piranha plant levels, but Rayman legends had already done musical levels (in a way that outshines the singing piranha plants). Everything else was just okay. If you haven’t, definitely check out Rayman Legends for a great platformer.
App stores and game engines are examples where you are paying a percentage of revenue. Not that it makes this scenario make any more sense, but there are models out there that operate this way. However, in both you are working in pretty locked down environments.
You can get your own modem (what plugs into the wall) or your own wifi router (you’d plug this into the isp modem). Your own modem is better, but ISPs can give you grief about “supporting” them.
Sorta, it’s supposed to replace sms to an extent, but does require an internet connection. However, it is an open standard to my understanding meaning that any platform could implement it, not just android/ios.
Even if they paid them there are a lot of things being done here that could be illegal, hence why they immediately shut down the VPN after someone found out what they are doing.
Not to mention how highly unethical this all is. If you read the articles, there were multiple people FROM Facebook that questioned the approach.
There are obviously ways that this kind of research could be done ethically or legally, and your right that people should be empowered over their data. That does not mean a large company abusing it’s knowledge and power should be legal.
Sync thing is a great resource if you want your files to be replicated across systems. I use it for files that I might work on while in different locations and devices.
Its basically a personal onedrive or Dropbox.
I’ve used Ubooquity on and off for this. It has some nice features, but isn’t open source.
I get your point. I don’t know about OP, but I hadn’t seen a similar thread, but I usually browse all so easily miss posts for specific communities.
Also, I’ve found search on Lemmy hit or miss. The federation aspect of everything makes search sometimes difficult or confusing. For example, what community would most likely have already provided an ELI5 post and how would it have been phrased?
Not OP, but the point of asking for an ELI5 is that sometimes you don’t even know where to start. For example I clicked the link you provided and only have more questions as I don’t really know what people mean by display servers, etc.
Sure I could look everything up and try to understand, but the hope is someone in the community might provide a better or faster summary than what can currently be found online.
There is also Melvor Idle, an idle version of Runescape.
Miracle Sudoku is also the best sudoku app ever. Incredibly difficult but extremely rewarding when you solve one.
Peglin is a great peggle rouglites with some decent replayability. It’s a port of a pc game so you can check out reviews on steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1296610/Peglin/
I don’t like Ubooquity, but Calibre somehow seems worse.
The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven’t tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.
