Event planning platforms are never going to compete with massive social communication platforms, they’re entirely different ends of the stick.

As long as Mobilizon continues to work, that’s all I ask for.

For a second there I thought they were bringing in Don Mattrick. That would have really killed off Unity.

Seriously, how many higher ups at EA go on to Zynga?

The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They’re just only on PC and nobody plays them.

Shame nobody has been able to reuse the existing Google board but this is probably the next best thing. Might have to pick up a few boards.

Embracer has really been a mess. Buying everyone up in the hopes the Saudis were definitely going to be on board with funding them probably didn’t help.

Just chucking everyone in a “Thing and friends” team probably isn’t helping matters either. Surely someone from the many dozens of development teams they have could have thought of better names.

The Saturn was bleeding them dry outside of Japan. They would have either died supporting the Saturn or trying to keep the Dreamcast relevant during the run of the PS2.

Sony was a force to be reckoned with and Sega just didn’t have the funds nor the presence to compete with them.

What’s your use case? Likeminded techie friends? Family members?

Signal works well as an alternative to the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp, even if it still requires a phone number and is centralised. Far easier to explain to the family instead of “oh well you can sign up on this website or this website or that website”.

Granted, if you want to host a small Matrix server just for the family, then go for it.

I’ve been a Posteo customer for a few years and they’ve been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.

As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.

What distro should I use on my potato?

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I’m a writer and it’s a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it’s got Windows and it’s unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it’s...

I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.

Do you run anything on a RISC-V processor?

Lately I've been really liking the idea of having something hosted on a RISC-V machine. RISC-V is a non-proprietary instruction set that is a competitor to ARM. The idea of having a something running on an open source operating system, running on an open standard CPU, served from my house, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling....

Debian has official support for RISC V boards, but they don’t have officially available images for those boards (at least not the Mars).

Skull and Bones is already a AAAA according to Ubisoft, so we’re already part of the way there.

There’s no money in privacy.

Harvesting and selling personal information is practically a continual source of funds with little to no cost. Why spend time and money developing a product with all the data harvesting elements stripped out to appeals to maybe 5-10% of the market?

I second this.

Had to fix up mum’s laptop and she wanted Windows 10 with all the Microsoft Office gubbins (she had to settle for Libreoffice). Didn’t want a word of anything Linux because “it might not work with any of my stuff”. I don’t know of a single thing she does outside of web browsing and typing up word documents.

You just can’t change some people.

Probably, she uses Windows 10 at work.
