Ghidra is properly Java, so better luck looking there.

I'm somewhere between Kitty and Ptyxis.

Yes. If guns were banned, then people would resort to preparing their meals with some other weapon like a knife.

The existing buttons are made out of a plastic that wears well when rubbing against their contact-points in the case. The plastics are chosen to be compatible, self-lubricating and "not spalling or rubbing eachother to death".

I doubt that these metalized buttons have been tested for their long-term wear characteristics.

Our system is "capitalism", not "workerism". The owners of capital solely decide how the fruits of productivity are split, and wouldn't you know it they decided that it should all go to themselves.

But at least you are entitled to the sweat of your brow. Until your boss finds a way to extract that, too.

The PineTab doesn't even have a wifi/bt radio that's supported by its own OS. When you're an OEM and you're choosing what chips you're putting in a design, I think you should stick to chips that are usable. Chips where the manufacturer has written specs and maybe even a driver that transforms "a piece of glass with a lead frame" into something with a purpose.

Anyway, that's just how I feel.

Lightning and USB-C are both equally terrible headphone plugs.

I wouldn't mind if they replaced TRRS with a better connector. I get that the jack is a large part and it's difficult to seal against water ingress. The wiper contacts on it are also unreliable, and the plug doesn't release well when your cord snags.

Multiplexing headphones with my one and only charging port is absolutely the worst possible answer.

(Did i forget to mention that I want it to be an open connector? One that any vendor can make without Apple's permission?)

Go to Desktop Mode, run Plasma Discover, get the Heroic flatpak, run Heroic, log into GoG there, install games.

Heroic is pretty damn good at doing the rest. It'll install the Linux or Windows version of your games, it'll add them to Steam, it'll run them. Heroic will even give Steam some coverart for your games. (Many are missing the logo, tho. DeckyLoader +SteamGridDB plugin fixes that.)

Flatseal is the tool.

(Another benefit to using the flatpak version of Steam is that Steam leaks rather substantial chunks of /dev/shm memory. The flatpak automatically cleans that up. God knows why Valve hasn't fixed this yet.)
