Well, but Isaak was believing that after he talked to Dr mercer, or am I wrong?

I mean, he brought the marker back to the planet, which should be what the marker wanted, so why were they still attacking him?

But also, from another perspective, they have set up this twist perfectly. I mean, first of all its pretty logical: everything all right --> marker removed --> everything going to shit, so everything all right <-- marker brought back <-- everything going to shit

This, the betrayal, and Dr mercer being one of the people studying the marker in the first place (and Isaak’s girlfriend actually being able to interact with things, and the necros attacking her) have really convinced me that bringing it back was the right thing to do, and the necros not attacking all of a sudden would have been way too obvious

Edit: Wait, is mercer the guy developing the invincible necromorphs, or is he the one helping you bring the marker?

Its just this trope of „Guy locked himself inside some safe room from where he dosent want to come out, so he just commands the player around until he somehow dies the moment he wants to come out again” that aggrovates me.

That’s the problem

Why do I need someone on Lemmy to tell me this when they have a whole 10 or so page website that could just as well detail this instead of the usual „Hey, your keyboard works on this distro”?

for the average user.

So we are talking about an average user, who

• fully understands the appeal of a degoogled Phone
• Willingly spends extra money for a fairphone
• is able to migrate away from google services to /e/'s services
• Is willing and able to troubleshoot any problems that MicroG has
• is willing to fix not working banking apps
• but somehow can’t use a simple web installer from Calyx

Tell me, is this average user in the room with us right now?

Everything works out of the boy.

So does (and does not) with Calix or Graphene

Buy a Pixel.

I think you don’t get what I’m talking about.

-It takes a base level of understanding why you would buy a Fairphone (or any degoogled phone)

• it takes a base level of understanding phones to be able to use a degoogled one
• If you already have that knowledge, you might as well just take an extra 5 minutes and use the web installer for calyx since it is literally the same AND has less vendor lockin than /e/

Edit: You want an average user friendly ROM? Just use Lineage for gods sake.

there is still some goggle code in that.

But that code is open source, and it has been verified that it dosent track you.

I mean, you could use CalyxOS

It dosent have such things as 2 factor pin auth for fingerprint, but its the closest to Graphene

/e/ has built in privacy features

/e/ uses a for profit 3rd party for unencrypted backups. That alone should be a big red flag.

is google-free and runs MicroG

So it runs google. MicroG just limits what data is sent to google.

You can even use your apps that you purchased from the PlayStore.

You can do the same with aurora store. That’s available on just about every phone.

Properly maintaining an open-source project takes time and resources

But why not make it source available? They most likely already use git, so they just need to port it to github. Its not like they would need to review a bunch of merge requests, since they are source available only.

Because especially for very low profile systems its more than enough, so you dont need to use something like vim or nvim.

What do computers have to do with it anyway?

Great, thanks

It is not for me personally, but for a person who wants a gui. And a Touch screen. Also I need an on Screen Keyboard because he also does not want to use a keyboard or mouse.

I tried using a very simple compositor like cage to just start shortwave, but I couldnt get my Keyboard to work since it needs gnome accessibility runtime to automatically show when clicking a text field.

And also xfce is more than light enough not to take up more than 1-2 secs of the total boot time

The flatpak thing was just the jellyfin-media-player so I can play my music from jellyfin too, but I guess ill just set up DLNA so I can stream to the device from my Phone

Yes, I personally use flatpak because I want a reliable way to update packages that are not in the native repositories. Still, I would love if it would be like snaps in the sense that I can use the native libraries and only install the app as flatpak.

Its just really frustrating to have to install the whole fricking gnome desktop again just so some flatpak can use it

Void Linux is the Definition of „lacks a few packages”

Sort of, actually

I was trying to build a PC just to play internet radio on using Shortwave, and a 30€ thin client with 4 1,5Ghz cores and no active cooling, 4 gigs of ram and an 8gb ssd were more than enough for that

where you you even get an 8gb ssd

I bought a Fujitsu thin client for 30€, and I decided to spend the 5€ extra to get one with a drive (making it 30€ total.

why would you use one outside of some specialized embedded application that shouldn’t even have a desktop interface?

1. I have way too much free time

2. I have no money

3. Originally it should only have been a minimal void Linux install so it can connect to my local server via RDP. But I just realised that that futro s920 with 4 1,5ghz cores is actually way faster and more reliable than my 4th gen Intel i5 will ever be

and even then why not something lighter than kde or gnome

I ssh’d into the PC. It runs xfce4, and it is just made to display shortwave (an Internet radio player) in full screen on a cashier terminal screen that I ripped from the terminal assembly. I just needed the cheapest thing to run shortwave on so my father has an Internet radio, since the other 2 options were

• buy a big ass Antenna for his normal radio, or

• buy a used Internet radio for 200€ (this way it only cost about 90€), wait until its Server is shut down, and then somehow with a mix of wireshark, dns logging, and pure luck somehow locally rerout the domain that the radio tries to connects to, figure out what kind of json file I need to host on my local server in order to make it refresh it’s database of Radios, and maintain these IPs forever.

also, please note, the image is in no way connected to this project, it just reminded me of it

Its a Fujitsu futro s920, got it off ebay

Why would you waste your energy and manage something yourself when they collect your data anyway?

OK, but why is it a for profit company in the first place?

And why does open source Software like xz, ffmpeg, etc still work without being for profit?

Fucking liberal.

Something something EU has other standards then USA, for example with Walkie talkies its illegal to use frequencies that US uses in EU and the other way around.

Its the same with cellular, US and EU has other Standards and the eff device may not be suitable to use those frequencies
