Smaller = cheaper to make, less space needed for storage, etc. They also look thicker, so might be more robust. I’d be surprised if any record player couldn’t play 45 rpm, the reason for 33⅓ will be because they are smaller they need to be slower to increase the playing time.

Evercade has the advantage of a huge software library to draw from (they have a few native games but the majority are emulated), whereas this will only run it’s own software, which puts it at a disadvantage.

Mind you, the Playdate seems to be going well.

That’s to guarantee you have to try plugging the USB cable in in all four available orientations before it fits.

There’s no “slave” convention in git so I’m not sure how it can be considered an issue (I get that drives being master and slave is a bit icky). But then, what is it a master of?

As others have said, “trunk” would have been a more sensible replacement.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.

The Zero 2W is cheaper and pretty much the same spec as the Pi 3.

You should be able to use the Compose key on Linux for easy typing of accented characters. eg. Compose ’ e = é

I found this handy snippet to enable these keys in GTK 2 and 3 (not sure of the equivalent for GTK 4 but I guess that’s the one which has been updated anyway): https://forum.colemak.com/topic/1438-dreymars-big-bag-of-keyboard-tricks-linuxxkb-files-included/#p10012

Unfortunately I’ve found this whilst I’m not at the right computer so I haven’t been able to test them.

Edit: I tested this and it doesn’t appear to have helped.

MacOS should use CUPS - I believe Apple developed it or at least did some major work on it.

Yep, SANE is great.

As a non-free alternative, VueScan is pretty good too.

Muon.

Does SSH, SFTP and other stuff.

I am old.

This is great! The science teacher who used to also look after all the computers at my school was a big fan of the Acorn Archimedes/RISC PC (quite standard school computers in my day due to the BBC computer literacy stuff, where Acorn won the contract for the BBC Micro). We had a couple of PCs (RM Nimbus) which didn’t get as much use. I believe the plan was to switch over to PCs running Windows (95 had been out a couple of years) and because of that he left. I wonder if there was a viable alternative at that point, such as Linux, that he would have stayed.

There’s also Free95

Yellow Dog in early 2000s, and I think I switched to Debian PPC not long after. My memory of back then is quite hazy. A way while after that I had an Eee PC which I think I put Ubuntu on initially (the desktop was dog slow) and then changed over to LMDE. Have a feeling I had something else on it before Ubuntu… may have been the default Eee distribution, which I forget the name of (think it began with an X).

I think you’ll find that’s the recommended spec, not the minimum requirements.

My work laptop always complains that it can’t shut down the “Shutting down” app when it tries to shut down.

Ah, that’s the clue I needed.

Think that instance is dead though.

I’m sure there’s a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can’t remember what it’s called.
