I’ve had more fun tonight with a $38 retro handheld gaming device than I have with things costing many times as much.

Check the R36S out if you haven’t already. It’s stellar!!

@ironicbadger those tiny emulators are pretty much perfect for old gba games

RetroDECK > EmuDeck

@popey I really dislike Emulation station. It's just another step in front of retroarch. On my Steam deck, honestly I just install regular Retroarch via Steam for cloud saves, and just add cores/roms to it.

@popey fair. Honestly it's come a long way though lol.

My wife works at a school. Today they held the first pupil “School Council” where the 6-year-olds suggest ways to improve the school. Their suggestions included:

  • Free snack bar
  • More school trips
  • A water slide in the car park
  • A permanent petting zoo

Nice try, kids!

Rebranded Twitter aka “X” has the new tagline:

What do you think about Red Hat's recent move?

https://news.itsfoss.com/red-hat-fiasco/

soltros,
@soltros@mas.to avatar

@itsfoss Redhat making it harder for rebuilders isn't a suicide attempt. Distros like Alma and Rocky, while useful offload a ton of resources and are able to be profitable because Redhat engineers are doing all of the big development and feature implementation. They're rebuilding, and essentially profiting off Redhats hard work. And they don't contribute upstream hardly.

I don't think this is a good way for Redhat to respond to that, and I prefer Debian, but they have a point in what they said

soltros,
@soltros@mas.to avatar

@itsfoss Also, the idea that Redhat making what is essentially a parasitic relationship harder is a "suicide attempt" shows that whoever wrote this has no idea how much work and effort goes into making an Enterprise distribution.

Alma and Rocky operate parasitically purely off of the CentOS git. They now need debrand, and work a little harder. And code is still available to customers.

Listen to the latest @linuxmatters then look at this. https://linuxmatters.sh/5/

@popey @linuxmatters I was listening to you guys talk about this on the podcast and I thought "no way people do this to python." Well...

OpenAI’s Altman and other AI giants back warning of advanced AI as ‘extinction’ risk. If Sam truly believes in the risks posed by AI, he should consider shutting down OpenAI. Power down the data center, delete software & models associated with it. I don't get his motivation here. What do you want, man? First,you say OpenAI is the best. Then, the next day you say it will pose a significant risk to the human race. So, shut down the OpenAI & move on with your life. Stop making up bullshit

These kinds of little details and putting love into every corner of the experience are what makes working on @elementary OS so rewarding for me. Also, welcome back to Marius!

@danirabbit I kinda like KDE where even if you don't have a battery you can still see power settings and use the power options to keep on the screen. Maybe something like that would be cool.
