If you want to go tiny you could get an Anbernic Gameboy like the RG35xxSP. They run Linux with a gaming UI on top. But it’s very easy to run full desktop Linux distros on them.

He grew up in New York and only recently moved. He’s got that New York attitude. Yeah it’s off putting.

Forward it to Louis Rossman. He’ll make an entire video about it and add it to the wiki tracking these scummy companies.

Just a reminder that Epstein was killed when Trump was president. Trump’s attorney general was William Barr. Barr’s dad was very close friends with Epstein, gave Epstein his first job, and Barr’s dad wrote pedo scifi as a hobby.
- Comment on Dont call this number again, we uphold the laws of physics in this home 2 weeks ago:
I don’t get the, “obey laws of physics.” Variable focus reflective optics are a thing. Both by moving the mirror distance or by using fancy materials to change the curvature of the mirror.

Isn’t that the right thing? If they didn’t use AI, people would be saying “Haha AI app has to use real people.”
It doesn’t mean it isn’t slop though.
- Comment on When will all the folks complaining about loss of Snap and health insurance realize the GOP wants us to die and has ZERO empathy for fellow Americans? 3 weeks ago:
The only reason Fauci was on TV and setting policy on COVID was because Trump hired him to the Trump task force. Trump could have removed him from the Task force. Instead Trump acted like he had no power over Fauci.
That Fauci had been previously working for the government is irrelevant. Trump hired Fauci to the Trump COVID Task Force. Everything Fauci did was under Trump’s control.
- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 3 weeks ago:
It’s new hardware. It needs to interact with Windows or Linux at a level that gives it hardware access. That requires admin (Windows) or Root (Linux) for software to be installed that has the ability to interact with new hardware that neither Windows nor Linux knows about.
Software talks to the Operating System. The Operating System talks to drivers (small programs that understand the hardware). Drivers talk to hardware. Windows and Linux come bundled with hundreds of drivers. But they don’t come bundled with drivers for everything. That’s why you need to install the driver. If software could access hardware directly as a stand alone program, then anything you click on or run on the internet could also directly access hardware and install viruses, Trojans, spyware, etc.
Software that could run stand alone and directly access hardware is how PC’s running DOS worked.

Here’s the official text from TrumpWhitehouse.gov that Trump released on Jan 29 2020 announcing that he hired Fauci for his Corona Virus Task Force.

Fauci was director of NIAID. Trump picked him to lead the White House COVID Task Force. Then Trump threw him under a bus.

??? Trump hired Fauci to lead the Whitehouse Corona Virus Task Force. Then Trump threw Fauci under the bus when his base didn’t like what Fauci said.

And they blamed Fauci who Trump hired and could have fired at any time.

- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 5 weeks ago:
I think because I warned some users a couple of times over a year ago, that he thinks I’m a sock puppet of the person/people he has banned. When he got angry about my warning the user, I didn’t engage at all. But a year later in that thread about Discovery, I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice that I replied to him.
He seems to have a lot of drama around him.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 5 weeks ago:
Look at my history. That wasn’t the reason I was banned. Over a year ago years ago I warned another user that I saw that mod ban an account for arguing. That post history was there and flying squid warned him to not do that sort of thing in Ten Forward. A year later I made the mistake of replying to a post that he posted to me. The post was about the writing in Discovery.
You can see my last post on tenforward that got banned. He deleted it but of course in Lemmy it’s only hidden so you can still view it.
So yeah, not only did he ban me but he lied about the reason.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 5 weeks ago:
I got banned from tenforward for saying the ending of Star Trek Discovery didn’t make sense. No name calling, no back and forth arguing, just my statement and a reply explaining one point of my previous post. But that reply was to a mod who didn’t like my explanation.
I messaged mods and nothing.

You can do nuclear without irradiating everything just like a nuclear plant doesn’t irradiate everything. The only reason it isn’t done is safety. Rockets fail too often.
The argument that gravity is in anyway a more powerful force than weak force (fission) or strong force (fusion) is wrong. The only thing gravity has is distance. The strong force is 100 trillion trillion trillion times stronger than gravity.

- Comment on 4 fundamental forces 1 month ago:
That, and have you seen the amount of propellant required to overcome gravity? Compare that to the amount of fissile material you need to make a viable nuclear device. It’s peanuts.
You inadvertently argued against your point. It takes only a tiny amount of fissile material to generate the energy needed to escape the gravitation of an entire planet.
But not really because you only compared chemical energy to fission.

Compared to 1970? Trump is making it worse but it’s not that bad yet.
- Comment on Microsoft kills Windows Maps app 1 month ago:
I miss Streets and Trips from 2002. All the road maps without any internet needed. The killer feature that I don’t see in any modern apps is that you could click on roads in the trip summary and set the speed limit. So if you were planning a trip you could click on a section of highway that you knew you could speed on and put in the actual speed you’d be driving instead of the speed limit.
