Self-hosted gits in Brazil are gonna be making a comeback baby!

Probably a pre-surgery fur trim situation I think.

Anna’s Archive does have guides for all of that (apart from the legal advice) on their site (use wikipedia to find the right domain).

I don’t think you’d want to do so as a university student unless you want to share the same fate as Aaron Swartz though.

Lists, my guy. Figure out what games you want to play, movies to watch, etc…

You don’t need to hoard everything. You can go around and look as your tastes develop, that’s part of being human after all.

A game’s quality is not always deterministic of the fanbase or playerbase’s activities.

A competitive game can have solid production quality, great optimization, and plenty of content to get immersed in, but still have players racing to the bottom of the social interaction barrel. Hard to fault the game itself for that.

She’s ready for ComputerCraft!

• Kingsman Intro

Gabe Newell famously participated in an interview about the same subject when porting The Orange Box, and as a result handed the port off to EA (which ended up running like dogshit compared to all other platforms).

Of course, and I’m not knocking the FEX project. I’m just pointing out that there is no native solution to running programs built for other hardware architectures (other than a port adapted from source).

The PS3’s CELL is just so egregiously unique that it has a massive emulation overhead compared to ARM or any other more common/simple hardware architecture - less understood overall, and less understood in how it can be translated to x86 compared to ARM->x86.

This is not apples to apples whatsoever. Following this logic I can run ARM programs natively on x86 hardware thanks to android using the Linux kernel in its development.

You will need a compatibility layer regardless for different hardware architectures from your own. This includes the PS3’s CELL based hardware (which is why RPCS3 needs so much power to emulate the system at good speeds). Now if you ran Linux on your PS3, there is a possibility to do this (but then you’d have to emulate x86 games on your PS3).

It’s not very viable compared to just generic handhelds and mini-PCs that can run emulators or pirated PC/android games.

It’s common for very low cost machines like famiclones tho.

Might be worth filing a bug report to graphene then. If it’s just Pixel 8s.

Even if it’s just another datapoint, more information and relevant logs helps the maintainers.

That’s just the trends - people like consuming media on their phone, and more screen space helps that (so they demand it)

A developer focused phone like the pixel line would probably make the most sense since they support the unique features you support, and GrapheneOS does have the option to never use the Google suite or to use it in a solid sandbox.

Personally, haven’t regretted my pixel 9 with graphene.

More power to you - but you are a portion of Apple’s userbase that will not receive the same level of support or adoption as the mainstream userbase, and largely not emblematic of the “average MacOS customer”.

I do agree with your reasoning though (and I’d probably be much more cheerful in helping someone like you compared to the rest of my IT clientele who used Apple products as-is).

Isn’t that a Firefox fork, not a productivity suite?

Edit: realized you meant FOSS software that didn’t retain mainstream telemetry/ads

As someone who lives and works in Silicon Valley, the amount of coworkers and colleagues in my experience in engineering using non-default MacOS configurations is nonexistent. There are things like Asahi Linux (which is an amazing project, don’t get me wrong), but let’s not pretend that the people who use open source software on MacOS are not fractions of a percent compared to the general userbase.

In fact, my experience working in IT professionally and assisting friends and family personally has only underscored that view - those who were actually using Linux and FOSS software professionally were not on Apple hardware (and knew what went wrong and what assistance was needed). Those who I had to assist with Apple hardware… were different strains of “technically inept” who managed to break their experiences despite using default settings (kind of impressive I suppose).

These are Mac users we’re talking about here - they’re terrified of anything not produced by a corpo.

You could purchase some prepaid debit gift cards at a store with cash and use those, if you want something traditional.
