EMN reference in the wild! Don’t forget to tune in to the livestream tonight at 6 PDT!

There’s also often a BIOS setting that changes the default behavior of keys that have alternate functions with the FN key.

Yeah, my last phone was one of the Galaxy phones with the hardware locked bootloader. I should’ve looked a bit harder when choosing my current phone for one with a bit more open source support, but I think I’ll be pretty happy once I can get Lineage running.

This article states the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the latest Snapdragon chip, does not support non-protected VMs. This doesn’t seem to be a feature taking a while to be implemented, they’ve made the deliberate decision not to add support for this, just as other vendors have decided the opposite.

Neat, I might have to try this out the next time I pull out my Chromebook. I did use it for a while when my desktop was out of commission, and this was the biggest issue I ran into. Had to dial YouTube videos down to 240p to get decent playback.

I bought my current phone, a Motorola Moto G Stylus (2025), because I of its hardware support. It has E-SIM plus a physical SIM slot, SD card support, and a headphone jack. The one downside is not having any custom firmware builds available. I’m hoping that changes in the near future.

It pretty regularly goes on sale for 50% off. I’d never played it before, so I bought it at that price.

As an Oklahoman, it is a shock for me to learn that okra is from the Old World

Try Rosy Crow. You’ll have to add the repository to f-droid before you download it.

I’ll just pop in here to add a link to my favorite Android Gemini browser: Rosy Crow

It’s fully featured, even supporting tokens for authenticated sessions.

Definitely get Card Shark if you have a gamepad. I bought it a couple days ago, and I’m in love with it.

UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.

Don’t forget the one that SHOULD HAVE gotten GOTY: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Quspicious Minds sounds like a documentary on the Qanon movement

As you part your curtains, you see that is a bright morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the meadows are blooming, and a large yellow bulldozer is advancing towards your home.

Must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of those.

A lot of people have mentioned ProtonDB already, but I’ll throw in Lutris as well. It’s a multi-platform game launcher that supports Steam, GOG, Humble Games, Epic Games, EA, etc. but its website also lets you search for a game title, and most should have a user-created method to launch.

Right? I have to know what it means by “Vatican Ciry (Alleged)”

It shouldn’t be too hard, and considering private key authentication, you could even use a single sign-in for multiple platforms/accounts, and use the public key as an identifier to link them across platforms. I know there’s already a couple proof-of-concept Gemini forums/BBSs out there already. Maybe they just need a popularity boost?

Does this disable updates though? My wife somehow had Win11 installed on her pc without enabling secure boot, and her updates got so far behind that now it refuses to update and needs to be reinstalled.
