What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • Yeah, it's not. Leads to weird situations on Linux handheld where you paste in your purchased binary if it's compatible, or you use an emulator like fake08 that has good, but not perfect, compatibility.

  • What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • I tried the iOS beta until it expired. Didn't know it ever made it to the app store.

  • Where do people post torrents these days?

    I used to have an account on the PB many years ago, but my credentials are no good anymore. I'd like to post some movie and TV show dumps somewhere, particularly that'll be indexed by Torrentio and searchable to debrid users, but I'm having trouble finding anywhere with open signups. I'm specifically uploading English media.

    Big Surprise
  • Same here. Clearly I need more sleep.

  • Just quackin' around
  • These are lots of fun!

  • People really hold their mouse like that?!
  • The fabled hockey puck grip!

  • Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome
  • I was using Firefox back when it was cool. And now it'll be cool again.

    Dream Projects! What Would You Build If You Had an AGI?
  • Basically all the little niche projects out there that could really use more talented programmers and/or all the random little projects that don't exist because I lack the time and skills to attempt them. So in the spirit of randomness, here's some random examples:

    • I have a modest collection of handheld devices designed to emulate classic video games, but they often need better firmware, more games and emulators (within reason) ported to them, or both. For example, an alternate firmware for the (completely abandoned) PocketSprite that could connect to your home WiFi and download games from a samba share on demand, and keep the most recent games cached for playing on the go. (this would mitigate the extreme lack of storage space and cumbersome file transfer problems it has.)

    • More/Better PostmarketOS ports. This is a Linux distribution designed to run on as many devices as possible (specifically targeting phones but also open to other devices categories) to keep them running, updated, and usable until they physically fall apart. Although very weak by today's standards, I'd get a kick of seeing it running on my C.H.I.P. Computer, my OLPC, and my eink Nook tablet. The first one of these three has a port in progress already.

    One last one because I keep getting interrupted and I lost my train of thought.

    • Fan port of Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden to the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. Why?! Because the only meme that game doesn't have is an "original" cannon port from 2033 with Blast Processing.

    Edit: Oh, and more 64-bit ARM builds of the software I'd like to use.

  • FOSS ereader app that syncs the page read?
  • FBReader might be an option. You can upload books using the FBReader Book Network, which uses your Google Drive as storage, and then use it to access your books and synchronize your progress across a variety of platforms.

  • Is it possible to learn this power?

  • Piplups stealing iPads from Target
  • I wonder what's with all the chain barriers.

  • If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?
  • There are many games that I loved and would enjoy playing for the first time, but I'm going to pick Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. My reason being that I spent the vast majority of the game waiting for it to morph into a spiritual successor of Super Mario RPG back when I first played it, rather than giving it a chance to stand on its own as a unique and hilarious game. My preconceived idea of what I hoped the game would be really hurt my initial enjoyment of it.

    For a runner up, I'll mention Kirby's Dream Land 3. In the days of Blockbuster rentals, I'd rented Kirby Super Star first, so it took me a while to get used to the more traditional Kirby powerup system where copied abilities only do one type of action each.

  • Anyone remember The Count Mickey Dragul by twisted-wind?

    For some reason, I just remembered a webcomic that I used to enjoy reading ages ago called The Count Mickey Dragul by twisted-wind on Deviantart. It was a gothic setting where Mickey Mouse was a vampire. I went looking for it today but it looks like the author deleted all of their uploads on deviantart. I did find a single volume that someone uploaded to imgur here. DId anyone happen to archive the other two volumes? I'm sure the author had their reasons for deleting everything, but I'd be sad if this became lost media.

    Can Anyone Recommend me Magic/Superhero School or Guild Stories?
  • It’s only one book, but in my childhood I read Wizard’s Hall by Jane Yolen, which takes place in a magical school.

  • Favorite iOS fediverse apps?
  • First you need Testflight, which is an app you can use to test apps in development, even before they’re in the App Store. Then you come back to the message that you replied to and click open the Avalon app in the TestFlight app to accept the invitation to test it. Then you can install it from TestFlight.

  • I know 69 languages
  • Hello World

  • Test Post
  • Testing results: Successful

  • Anyone still have any What.cd merch?
  • Ouch. Wish I’d been lucky enough to own a whole bitcoin.

  • What are your thoughts on restricting children’s access to pornography online?
  • I don’t think there’s a good way to accomplish this on a governmental level. But personally, I would’ve liked to not be exposed to it when I was.

  • Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
  • I wanted to install it on my Pinebook Pro (AARCH64, with Tow-Boot installed to SPI) but I haven’t gotten it working.

  • Removed
    Arch is so fast
  • Same. I know a little about Linux, but if I’m installing on a laptop or something where wired internet isn’t a good option and there’s no discernible cli tools installed to help configure/fix WiFi, that’s too arcane for my blood.

  • Getting Started with Pebble

    Although the first Pebble watches were released all the way back in 2013, their sleek, efficient design makes them a viable companion to modern smartphones to this day. But since the company that developed them (Pebble Technology, Corp.) is long gone and the companion app is no longer readily available, new and returning Pebble fans may be at a loss of how to get started. Thankfully, the greater Pebble community is alive and well, and many resources are available.

    Rebble is a community-run service the replaces the old Pebble Web Services and keeps things smart and customizable. If you already have the Pebble app installed on your phone, you can tap here to switch over to Rebble.

    If you don't have the app yet and can't redownload it, you can find download links and information for sideloading it on iPhone here or Android here.

    If you're interested in developing your own watchfaces or apps for Pebble, check here.

    Looking for more community resources? Stop by the Rebble Discord Server, Rebble Twitter account, or the Pebble community on Reddit.

    Really enjoying the new long-press feature on communities.

    I didn’t think it would be this nice, but it’s really helpful when browsing All to see quickly which similar-named communities I’m already subscribed to, and to block communities that I already know I’ll want to block without even seeing the sidebar.

    I’d kind of like the ability to see which instance a community belongs to alongside the subscribe and block buttons. For example, there’s an instance full of interesting communities full of content, but it’s all posted by a bot based on content from Reddit. (I just blocked the bot account, but still.)
