Vor DM offen rolled which shift would get an encounter. Then sometimes the only low roll is the one not having anything, which also prompts giggling.

Say you are working for a family member (helping your dad with his company or sth.). A colleague once had to go help his parents with their small company and no one questioned it a bit. No “better pay?” or “man you are moving far away!” just “oh, well good luck”.

Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

Why do people still host their stuff on github if they know its illegal?

How would you play a DRM-free game bought through steam without steam? (Genuine question)

I would instead lean more into the FATE direction. They are more open for interpretation and thus allow the DM more control.
Spells there don’t necessarily specify transforming your weapons. The DM would maybe allow it but doesn’t have to. Some of those games don’t even have a spell list, so no definitive way to know, your spell idea works or even exists (unless you did it before).

A rental car from Sony?

Are you in the wrong thread? (I mean I responded to you but still…)

Yeah, but renting is not purchasing.

(Yes, I am fun at parties.)

There are a lot of big ones like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora or Arch. Arch is for users with a little more experience. But funnily enough Arch has like child-distributions, that build upon its core. Ubuntu is also a ‘child’ of Debian an Mint builds onto Ubuntu.

It’s kind of like three or four big families, that had lots of children. 😂

(and then there are NixOS, OpenSuse and lots of others, which I forgot)

It has to do with Linux.

Linux itself is not a fully fledged operating system as most people would expect it. Since Linux has to work on servers and microchips as well as on desktop PCs, lots of stuff is not shipped with it.

For example Linux is missing a way to display windows and has no real package manager.

A distro (or distribution) is a predefined set of of software, that makes it easier for a user to use Linux.

This is mostly a window manager or desktop environment like KDE or GNOME, a package manager like apt or pacman and useful software like an office suite, a browser and other stuff.

Distros also exist for servers, the ln they don’t include a way to display images, but still have a package manager and other useful stuff preinstalled.

That’s of course not all, but maybe gives you a little overview.

I have rephrased the text.

Okay, I actually never tried that. Thanks.

Okay, I am intrigued and did not find anything right away. Can you give me a link?

Yeah, but I want to get rid of my wireless keyboard in favor of a small website/app for my phone.

Can I run Jellyfin on my laptop, but close it up and choose the video to watch via a different browser on my phone?

Of course. I donate to the Lemmy developers, Wikipedia and a few others.

But donating is kinda hard sometimes because I would really like a system, where dependencies also get some.
Take Lemmy for example. It’s built with rust and uses lots of crates (libraries). So why not give like 50% to Lemmy and the other half to the used crates. And those also split with their dependencies.

I don’t use obsidian. I use Joplin. It has nextcloud integration and works flawlessly.

For the rest (e.g. Tasks, Collaborate Office) I use DAVx5 and the nextcloud App to sync.

Doesn’t Nextcloud do all this?

I don’t really know, why it really HAS to be all that. I think that not a lot of people will have those specific set of requirements.

Also I really dislike the section about “solving not wanting to self host by making it federated” that is not how that works. Please host stuff yourself. Please support those who host your stuff. This part makes you sound cheap and stupid.

Okay,so you are talking professional equipment with software patches to be applied by professionals.

The article (and also the comments as I understood them) was about end users updating software themselves. Those are two very different things.

Yes, we also only update needed patches on systems we handle, but as an end user I do not check all updates that I apply on my private PC.
Why would I?

Oh yes, why would I apply a security patch for Bluetooth which I don’t even use, on my life-supporting device which someone else could connect to via Bluetooth without me knowing or noticing?

What you are saying is far from reality. Most patches only state vague stuff like “security” or “Bluetooth”.
How would you know, what those mean? Bluetooth could be “Hey, you can now monitor even more with your app” or “fixed some big holes in the chips security which made it hack able via Bluetooth”.
