Not so far. The initial calibration was a bit of work to get right, but their discord was a lot of help. I went there with a bed mesh issue and found someone had already asked about the exact same issue and their solution fixed my problem perfectly. I also had to do a fair bit of testing to get a PLA profile that worked well (the already built ones I could find were for ABS and PETG).

RatRig. The build process was tedious, but it was easy enough I figured it out… I hadn’t built a printer before, not like that, and I’d say it took about a week or two of spare time?

I honestly don’t know because I didn’t play either of those. I’d say it looks pretty similar to Valheim but I have no idea how the combat feel compares.

It is based on Debian (Droidian to be specific I believe), which to me reads as a fork or maybe a distro flavor with out of the box tweaks to specifically work with the hardware they are selling.

They say they aren’t stopping you from installing anything else you want on the phone, they just aren’t going to offer help getting a different OS to work, which is reasonable to me.

Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man’s Sky but haven’t redownloaded it yet.

I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn’t like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn’t much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I’m happy to say I haven’t felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there’s interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. “Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!”

I like it so far.

I’m already seriously considering giving this a go as my next phone soon. My current phone is desperately in need of replacement.

If it goes well I will be vocal about it.

Maybe shit like this will push them down that road faster. We need options for sure.

I could have sworn I had a bank card for a while with a 6-digit pin… Am I crazy? Is that impossible? Or is the joke worn out?

Prosecutors are not cops. The prosecutors can never win a case if the cops dont investigate first. The comment you replied to never mentioned prosecutors bringing a case, only cops investigating a case.

From what I can tell most of the roadblock is drivers for hardware support. Basically every price of hardware has to have a reverse engineered driver to work. We need hardware mfrs on board to really gain traction in this arena.

Still, I’m pretty sure my next phone is going to be a Linux phone. I know I’ll lose functionality but if I can make calls, send texts, and browse the web I’ll get by. Hopefully that space keeps gaining traction and it won’t be long until it is a truly viable option to replace google/apple products.

Yea. Why are there so many sizes of clothes anyway? The average person doesn’t need pants with a 44 inch waist. And so many food options? The average person doesn’t need anything more than nutrient rich gruel.

None of this is actually about cheating. All of these companies want control over as many people as they can get their grubby fat fingers around.

“hey guys, you have complained about our latest software, and we heard you. Our next release will literally rip out your genitals and you definitely can’t hide from it. 👍”

Holy shit that is brilliant…

One of the biggest problems is “what is porn?”. Time and again a clear definition eludes us and it comes down to personal perception. What one group of people think is porn is not to a different group. Also something to think and reflect about, why are you okay with a store selling intense and graphic violence, but not sex?

Then we get to the fact that it isn’t Steam calling the shots on this, not really. It is payment processors. The real outrage here is that Steam is not getting to decide what they do and don’t sell, and it isn’t a legal problem either. It is an arbitrary choice by the middle man monopoly. And there is nothing stopping their rules removing your ability to buy GTA or Dishonored next.

I think the backlash would be a lot less if this was truly a Steam decision. There would be people upset still, but I don’t think to the same degree. The massive outrage is that stores all over, including as big as Steam, are being blackmailed into making these changes.

I don’t think that is the original text of the gif…

This honestly feels like an “everyone sucks here” situation. It’s obviously bad that the publisher just sacked the 3 founders of a developer and replaced them with a CEO from a developer they just scuttled… But then there is this terrible sell-out deal the devs went for where 1/3 of the sale price of the company was tied up in sales performance with the deadline rapidly approaching so of course they want to put out a shiny new title for people to buy even though they keep having to cut the planned content down to almost nothing. (supposedly, obvi I haven’t played it…)

AND THEN there is what I am calling Schrodinger’s Beta. It is supposedly right now ready for early access release (which means Krafton delaying the game is proof of being shady and avoiding the bonus), but also likely going to flop because they got rid of the founders and now they won’t have the devs to make it any good (making Krafton correct in delaying the EA because it isn’t ready yet…).

This whole thing is a mess of pointing fingers and no one knows what’s real. Truth of the matter is probably that both sides are right. Dev’s want to push the game out to get the rest of what they feel they are owed, whether the game is ready for EA be damned. Publisher wants to not pay for any of that, downsize the dev team to finish production as cheap as possible just to drop a steaming turd with just enough name recognition to keep their line going up, but not to make enough money they can’t plausible deniability sink another developer. I hope I’m wrong, because I was looking forward to Subnautica 2 (mostly just to have a multiplayer subnautica experience), but the industry has mostly convinced me to assume the worst in everyone.

Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn’t know facts. It’s a magic 8-ball with more words.

‘Where my bitchat?’

Same. I gave up on Bazzite (for the time being) the second time it just stopped updating. The first time, I had to rebase it entirely to get it to work for a while again. I wouldn’t want to put a new person through that. I’m not sure why everyone has a hard-on for immutable distros “for beginners” suddenly.
