Also depends on where the servers are - latency probably won’t be great if you’re on the literal opposite side of the world from the servers that you’re streaming the game from!

How long until Apple adopts RISC-V?

I’ve spent a solid 30-40 hours playing it since December last year so I’d say it’s pretty fun and playable! IIRC it has prototypes up to the interplanetary phase though only the single-cell and multicellular stages were really playable when I last gave them a go.

I’m a big fan of Thrive!

I used to run FreeBSD on my laptop on high school, worked pretty good - even stuff like wifi and bluetooth with a bit of effort - but the battery life was atrocious compared to Linux or Windows.

AFAIK every single ebook reader on the market actually runs Linux under the hood!

So it’s basically just a Kindle but you don’t have to use an exploit to gain root access?

I prefer Organic Maps as an OSM Android App, I’ve found it to be a bit easier to use and more reliable than OsmAnd!

Kinda hard to buy a Framework when they don’t sell to your country! Framework laptops are only available in a handful of areas, whereas Macbooks are sold in almost every country on Earth.

Looking at how Valve acted when called out for breaking Australian consumer protection laws I sure as hell hope not!

Valve and Steam have pulled their fair share of shady anti-consumer moves, like the time they violated Aussie and EU consumer protection laws with their refund policy (fucking EA Origin had refunds years before Steam); there have also been allegations of it being a toxic workplace with a trans former employee claiming she was referred to as “it” by her manager.

Simple Mobile Tools (Simple Contacts etc.) cost money for the full version on Play but you can get it for free on F-Droid or GitHub!

I think you’ve got a bit of a misconception about FOSS software - you’re allowed to make money selling it, you just also have to provide the source code to any customers! A fair few FOSS apps have free versions on F-Droid but paid versions on the Play store, for example.

I haven’t used it myself but I’ve heard that Ventoy is a fair bit easier than doing it manually!

IIRC Flatpack is also FOSS whereas the Snap server software is proprietary

Been a gnome guy for the past ~13 years with a bit of unity thrown in back when it was relevant! I’ve tried to love KDE repeatedly over the years but it’s never quite clicked with me - the customisation is great, but using it just feels kinda wrong personally!
