Flaky, to tech in Microsoft is getting rid of the following File Explorer features on Windows 11

Pretty much, yeah. I think Windows uses something like \\PhysicalDisk0 internally, then shows it to the user with lettering.

Flaky, to fedora in Fedora Onyx To Become An Official Fedora Linux Immutable Variant

Thanks for letting me know! I've got a lot of experience with SteamOS but not so much the immutable Fedoras. Should give them a try in the future.

Flaky, to gaming in What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible)

Taiko no Tatsujin is on iOS through Apple Arcade iirc, if you like rhythm games.

That's for mounting, yeah, but when it comes to interacting with the hardware, Linux itself uses letters for some types of devices. For example, serial-connected ones (e.g. SATA internal drives, USB external drives) are /dev/sdx (x being a letter from A-Z). I don't know what happens when all letters are used up though, maybe someone can chime in there? NVMe uses numbers it seems - my boot drive is /dev/nvme0n1

There are other ways to access devices and partitions besides that though. I just had to put EndeavourOS on a flash drive and the Arch Wiki recommended doing this by targeting the drive via /dev/disk/by-id/, which lists connected drives by name, connectivity and serial number.

Flaky, to PCGaming in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 - OpenRCT2 Project
Flaky avatar

I mainly like RCT3 but the first two games do fill a little part of my nostalgia as well. OpenRCT2 is a great project. Need to set this up when I get EndeavourOS installed later.

What I think has happened is that Reddit performed a rollback after the crash happened during the blackout. I've had comments from 2021-22 being restored and which ones did get restored were pretty random. Twitter had a similar situation a while ago.

Flaky, to gaming in It’s not just you: Steam suddenly looks nice

The only thing I don't like is when I mouse-over the main pages, the menu that pops up doesn't match at all. Other than that it's a good update.

Flaky, (edited ) to programming in AI and Coding.

I've used ChatGPT to answer questions relating to Python. Notably, I asked it how to use QtNetwork to send and receive requests with authentication, as the application I was using did not use any non-standard modules I was more accustomed to like requests but did have PyQt. Not only did it gave me working code snippets but explained it in a way that I was able to understand. No, it's not perfect. But man it's better than hunting Google for that one StackOverflow post.

I have heard it trips up on certain less-used programming languages like Swift though, so depending on your use case YMMV. I've also not used Codex but a friend of mine has. Apparently it really liked to mention this one specific GitHub profile.

For shits and giggles I asked ChatGPT a while back to represent a Pokemon with a Python class, and it gave me working code. Google Bard would trip up and not use the class when I told it to.

Flaky, to python in What python project(s) are you currently working on?

I need to work on refactoring a plugin I made for MusicBrainz Picard that lets you submit chosen tags (typically genres) to matching entities on the site.

Flaky, to linux_gaming in Best native Linux games?
Flaky avatar

If you're into rhythmic bullet hells and electronic dance music, Just Shapes and Beats is a native Linux game. I believe Hollow Knight is also Linux-native, too.

Flaky, to tech in Google is getting a lot worse because of the Reddit blackouts
Flaky avatar

I see the Lego comparison and I admit, when I built computers when I was younger I did that exact comparison.

Nowadays I would say it's more akin to building Ikea furniture than Lego. It can be daunting, especially the more expensive you go, and depending on one's situation it might even be better to have someone else do it, but if you do build it, it's very rewarding. IIRC the CEO of AMD made that Ikea comparison and it's a lot more apt IMO.

Flaky, to tech in Google is getting a lot worse because of the Reddit blackouts
Flaky avatar

Yeah. It's not exclusive to Reddit, but like others I was using Reddit as a way to filter out bad results as well.

I'll be honest, when I was looking for places to get a PC built, Reddit was of little help either. Constantly telling me to build it myself when I couldn't even if I wanted to.

(Eventually did get a PC built, paid more mainly due to UK VAT)

Flaky, to AskKbin in A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
Flaky avatar

Whether I'll stick to Kbin or not, I don't know. But I'm definitely sticking with the fediverse. I've already replaced Twitter with it and other, better sites outside of fedi (e.g. Itaku for artists). I'll replace Reddit too.

Flaky, to gaming in McDonald's Just Dropped A Brand New Game Boy Game In 2023
Flaky avatar

OP tried running it on the SGB and got locked out with the screen saying it requires a GBC to play. Look on the Game Boy on this image, too. Maybe it wasn't the right terminology lol.
