Fuck this channel for platforming fringe ideas and presenting them as if they are on equal footing with, let's be honest, reality.

I use it as second monitor, so I don't game on it. Now that I think about it, though, it might be fun to play gameboy or DS emulators on it.

I used to do something similar. Passing GPU between host and VM without rebooting is a major pain in the ass. What I did instead was had a Linux hypervisor and 3 VMs (Linux, Windows, and MacOS). I would swap between the 3 VMs, and they each had access to my GPU. It was fun to set up and somewhat convenient, but got really annoying as it was my only workstation at the time.

I would highly suggest to just accept dual-booting and if it takes too long, get a faster SSD and/or faster RAM.

I've since gone Linux full-time, and I have no complaints. None of the games I can no longer play would be worth having Windows to deal with. I thought I would miss them at first, but I'm happy playing what's available.

You're right, that is extremely confusing

Good. Keeping it the same means that the original Steam Deck will remain a target device for game developers for longer.

well, yeah, Element X is in pre-alpha. Of course it doesn't have feature parity with Element.

 

The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube's bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

100%

I love my pinecil. I have a ts80p as well and the pinecil is just better.

It has sleep tracking and it works okay.

I've had good luck with the Bangle.js 2. I get 3-4 weeks of battery life using it for time, weather, notifications, alarms, and as a heart rate monitor every once in a while.

This is insane. I will be first in line for the kit when/if it becomes available

Yeah, I got stuck on secrets management. I just could not get network manager to keep my WiFi passwords. I'll probably go back and try again at some point.

A few friends asked for me to walk through how I set up the dashboard I have in my kitchen, so I figured I'd share it here, too. Here is a barebones walkthrough with config files.

I moved halfway across the US this summer. It's taken me a while to get my office/workshop put back together, but today I pretty much finished it.

 

I've used sleek as my primary todo.txt UI for a while now, and I'm really happy with it. If you are interested in a simple, but useful way to put together a todo list in plaintext, the todo.txt spec is a great way to handle it, and sleek is by far the nicest GUI I've found.

About a week ago, I ran into a minor annoyance with an edge use-case that I have, and I wrote about it in the sleek github discussion page. Within 4 days, the maintainer of the project had a new build ready that fixed my issue. Nobody else said they needed it, but they took the time to add the feature I requested and now my workflow is that much easier.

I know not every project is like this, or can be like this, but there's no way that something like this would get added at anywhere near this pace in proprietary software. I, for one, am super grateful that software like this and the people that maintain it exist. Thank you.

Please check out sleek!

sleek is an open-source (FOSS) todo manager based on the todo.txt syntax. It's available for Windows, MacOS and Linux
