I enjoyed the difficulty of hollow knight. It was tough as nails in spots but I felt fair. I also dug the art/music/atmosphere. It was just unique enough yet familiar.

Yes I’m a big fan obviously.

Corned beef and cabbage. Corned beef, one onion, 2 cups of water, can of guiness. Pressure cook on high for 90 minutes. Slow release.

Remove beef, cover with a mix of brown sugar and honey. Broil/grill/torch to carmelize/burn the sugar a bit.

While you’re doing that, you throw the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots into the broth and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes-quick release.

Veggies will be done same time as beef is seared.

Enjoy.

I read what sounded like an intelligent follow-up on this subject. But I’m not smart enough to verify for myself, so I still refrain from using ventoy - even though I’d love to start using it again.

It was basically “wacky code from all over the place, poor coding practices, can’t find anything bad, but methods used are sus af”

Says one dude I read on the internet :/

Kobo for sure. Great devices.

You bought the kindle books, Amazon took away what you bought. Anna’s archive without any guilt - boom, your kindle books are now yours to read on any device of your choosing again.

You don’t need to fiddle with calibre or managing files. This website works great for transferring books to the kobo. https://send.djazz.se/

You’re welcome :)

Yup. Go ahead and try turning that cell phone radio thing off. Why do you need an app for remote start? Why can’t it be on the keyfob anymore? But again, nothing to see here - just the continued enshittification of everything.

I’ve been telling people since this dna testing started that sooner or later that data will be for sale, an insurance company will buy it, and then get used against people to increase their health insurance rates or deny claims.

But I’m a crazy conspiracy theorist according to everyone ;)

Same reason I don’t want to buy a new car anymore…

I will try it! Never heard of it. I also hate the markdown nonsense.

It’s super easy on the steam deck. You don’t need to know Linux. You boot into desktop mode, open Firefox, install emudeck by clicking on a link. Then you configure in there a bit and download roms - all pretty straightforward and easy. A noob can do it in a couple of hours.

Now that said - the steam deck is hit or miss emulating switch games. Most games work awesome. But not every game. It’s not clear to me if the hardware is a little too slow for emulation overhead, or if it’s more an issue between the emulator and the game. My take is it’s a bit of both.

Someone else will have to comment on modding the switch as I haven’t done that, but I bet once modded, it plays every game 100% fine.

Assuming my prior paragraph is true: if the ONLY thing you want to do is switch games - then I’d skip the steam deck. If you want to do OTHER things as well (snes, nes, all other older consoles, actual pc games that play on steam deck) then ya, steam deck all the way. Make sense?

When I run arch, I end up building pretty much exactly what fedora does. Once I realized this, I just install fedora now ;)

Easier to maintain, pretty dang current, “just works” like mint/ubuntu does. But I don’t do anything crazy though so it works for me.

It’s so stupid, there’s more great things to read than you can ever possibly finish.

But yes, I do the same thing.

I just ditched Amazon and part of that was getting off kindle. The Kobo readers are very nice and this link is awesome. Thank you!

Wow really? I’m fascinated :)

Generational thing maybe? I still communicate with doctors, family members, and like support for orders/inquiries via email. Not all the time, a lot with text too. But it’s still like 50/50 email / text.
