Theoretically they are supposed to have an adversarial relationship with the Congress and the president, but...

I've had the 1980's awk book seemingly "forever", but use awk so infrequently I always need to look things up.

Probably gets off on telling those "suckers and losers" what to do.

Gentoo is a little easier nowadays. It has binary packages and you can use any old Linux live CD you prefer to do the install :)

They were in Wisconsin and he was pandering to the locals by wearing a cheese hat and giving away millions of dollars to bribe voters. It didn't work - the candidate he was supporting lost.

It makes more sense when you realize he's negotiating not on behalf of the best interests of Ukraine or the USA but on behalf of Putin.

Jammie Thomas had to pay over $9000 per song she shared on Kazaa and that was like 15 years ago. Inflation + millions of shares should mean billions of dollars owed to the publishers... Plus obviously deleting or forfeiting ownership of all the models trained on that data, naturally.

I once fully updated a Gentoo system that hadn't been touched in 4 years. That was an adventure in troubleshooting.

Despite all that i said, the OLED special editions were very tempting!

I had a fairly opposite experience. I bought a Steam Deck when it first came out and had to return it during the refund period because of a software bug making it basically unusable with my account.

A year later, the bug was finally fixed and I rebought. And... I like the fact that it runs Linux and the efforts done to make windows games playable in Linux in general. But I've found that i actually don't enjoy the form factor of the Steam Deck at all.

I find it to be too big and heavy to hold comfortably without resting it on something. The buttons are tiny and too close to the edge. The d-pad sucks, at least on mine. Staring at the little screen gives me a headache and text/icons are too small in a lot of games. The Wi-Fi is really slow (at least in the original LCD model) and downloading/installing takes absolutely forever. I've literally spent more time installing games and downloading updates than actually playing games in it.

It has been months since I last turned mine on. In hindsight, it was a poor purchase for me.

I do still like it as a concept and an happy to see it is successful. I welcome the new Linux users. I follow the steam deck communities and read the news.

... But it's just not for me, apparently.

I still have my Dual Standard one somewhere, was 16800 i think and upgraded the board in it a couple times to bring it up to 56k eventually. It was a beauty. I think it was like $800? An insane amount of money in hindsight, but worth every penny at the time.

Heliboard for normal communication (glide typing) and Hackers Keyboard for shell/remote desktop/programming type usage. Generally i find the keys too small and typing on a touch screen is slow and annoying, so i use a real computer to type whenever i can.

My typing accuracy is much better with gboard, but I don't use it because google...

I have never used voice to text nor voice controlled assistant etc. as I have no interest in doing that. My phone is muted 99.9% of the time, I prefer to operate in silence...
