I was hoping for a story.

As others have mentioned, perhaps while the metaphor is weak, your spirit is strong!

My kid's Chromebooks (I purchased for them before the school provided) reached EOL before they finished elementary school.

I installed Linux (Gentoo) so we could continue using them. When power is correctly configured, they were very cool to use as a quick tool to search for something, answer an email, write a quick document and other simple tasks. They did not work well as workstations as an old Thinkpad might.

Since they are so light, and the battery lasted forever, we would leave them on a counter, and pick them up as needed.

Thanks! While flatpaks are not the Gentoo way, I'll give it a try.

LLM speech-to-text.

It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.

Still very cool!

reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.

Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren't "engaging" are in the cross hairs.

I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.

I used this when my son's computer wouldn't boot after a Windows update. None of Microsoft's tools would repair the disk.

I attached it to mine and ran ntfsfix on it. Success!

Can you grab logcat from Android when attempting to stream?

This does not support your claim.

KDE / Qt licenses

Can you point where it's not OSS?

Depends on what the virus is built to do.

I read someone intentionally infected their Linux system with a Windows virus, and they lost the home directory.

 

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.
