Weirdly it’s much more clearly BLUE when read in reverse, whereas forwards it looked more like BULB

You might be better off getting an Android tablet and installing Linux on top of Android.

Care to elaborate, for those not as experienced as soldering? This isn’t the most relatable post without some additional context.

For instance, my only experience soldering is with audio equipment (think wires and potentiometers), never with PCBs and I have no clue what you mean.

Look at the username.

You could say that lately the trend has been “bye bye buy”

Yeah, throwing an allegedly in front is much better if you’re just trying to avoid a lawsuit, it’s also clearer to the reader that the journalist is neither taking responsibility for the originating accusation nor taking sides.

Since you’re interested in KDE, why not try Fedora Kinoite?

It’s an immutable distribution in much the same was as Steam OS 3. For individual pieces of software, you just install Flatpak versions. It’s deeply convenient if you don’t want to perform maintenance on your PC and want it to “just work”.

If that’s not noob friendly, what is?

jellyfin app

You can from e.g. the Android app or from the desktop app Jellyfin Media Player, but you can’t from the AndroidTV app or the Roku app, so it really depends.

There’s a Kodi Jellyfin plugin, so you can use Kodi as a client for the JF server

doesn’t work in the app

Which app? Jellyfin has many client apps for many different platforms, some with more features than others.

I was an adult when I got/played it, but Star Trek: Bridge Crew was a blast to play on my Vive.

It’s hard to find the right balance. I know I only want to pay once, or heck never, but I want these upgrades and updates too.

I try to use as much FOSS as is reasonable for my daily usage. For things I use a lot I’ll donate to the developers if they allow it, with the exception of Mesa and Proton since Valve fund their development and I buy games on Steam a good portion of the time.

In general I try to support projects that are made in that open and sharing spirit of the early internet rather than getting baited into more disingenuous traps like what happened with UltimateGuitar.

UltimateGuitar.com

It used to be entirely free and the vast majority of its tablature was uploaded by community members for free.

The app used to be a one-time purchase. Thankfully I did purchase it back then and they grandfathered me in with a lifetime pro membership, but I can’t blame the people who would never want to use the site/app when they’ve effectively paywalled a ton of community content.

LMDE is also good, just a different version of Mint. Basically works the same.

And he pronounces it Leenooks

Basically the answer to your question is “yes, and it was way more lucrative than Beeper Mini is”

I don’t know anything about Compaq. Was their business built on reverse engineering IBMs system and impersonating IBM hardware to gain unauthorized access to their servers and services?

It was actually even more hardcore than that. They reverse engineered IBM’s BIOS to create the first fully compatible non-IBM PC that could run MS-DOS and all IBM PC software natively. Then they won in court after proving they didn’t copy any of IBM’s source code and that the people who programmed the compatible BIOS had never even seen the original documentation for the IBM code, let alone the code itself.

Do they really think they can “beat” some of the best programmers in the world that actually controls the servers their service is dependent on?

Compaq “beat” IBM.

Apple can only change the iMessage protocol itself very slowly if they don’t want to break service for millions of older iPhones. Beeper Mini can and will change on a dime. The cat and mouse can only go so far before Apple run out of ways to try to fuck them over that don’t fuck over millions of legitimate users.

If you watch it twice a decade it would be a semidecadal rewatch. Bi would mean you watch it once every 2 decades. Semi as the prefix means you watch every half decade
