Its just your standard rolled oats with the other goodies and your preferred liquid stuck in a jar overnight, ready to go right out of the fridge in the morning.

Personal favorite is cinnamon roll flavored! There are some great recipes out there.

TIL I can restore games on Steam, which I removed years ago in c/[email protected]

Honestly don't remember the names, its been.... Quite a while. I'll have to open and check.

Iirc it was also some I stored as gifts that became unknown or something, and I wasn't able to send them.

The bigger issue to me are games that were removed from steam and I can no longer get.

Which is why I don't bother buying on steam anymore. If I'm buying, its DRM-free only.

I see it. I'd report it to the dev, would be good for them to know why it isn't working for you.

That's what I'm using as well, Voyager on Android.

Tap on the picture, you'll see it on the bottom. Tap on that text area and the rest will show.

Formatting seems all goofed up, but it works.

My opinion on the meme aside.

Remember Cutefish? Pretty sure it's dead in c/[email protected]

Oh I'm not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don't need flash, I need function.

I wouldn't mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I'm not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user... Its the same in 2024.

There are actually quite a few books written in AAVE...the earliest I'm aware of is their eyes were watching god, from the 1930s. The Color Purple, Beloved, The Sellout, the books of Chester Himes...

Ukrainian Intelligence hacks Russian TV channels to show truth about war in c/[email protected]

The Mummy (Brendan Fraser) is a reboot and it is amazing, but I meant more in-universe continuation as a show. Like Ash vs Evil Dead, which was also fantastic.

Even if it wasn't good though, I'm surprised none have tried.

Definitely a shame! Also a shame they haven't tried bringing back something at least in the same universe considering its been more than 20 years and fans still love it...

And that's amazing that they came out! Two awesome people in general, too

Touchscreens, Debian, and Having Fun - Ideas? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 - you may have seen these in conference rooms, its a small Teams Room or Zoom Room device, based off their Tiny lineup, with a built-in touch display thats about 11" in diagonal.

https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkSmart/ThinkSmart_Hub_500/ThinkSmart_Hub_500_Spec.pdf

I left the 128gb nvme in there for now, and threw Debian 12 on it. Touch worked throughout the installation process, all I did was attach a keyboard, power, and network (along with the thumb drive with netinstall), now installed with KDE.

Considering the specs, the only part I'm surprised works well is the touchscreen, its otherwise just a generic lenovo tiny (which I have several of already, 6th-9th gen, as part of my tiny/mini/micro server stack). I could have chosen a different flavor, but I'm a long, long, loooonngggg time Debain user so its my go-to.

In terms of touch, tap, drag, and long press are all working. Video looks good with the UI set at 125% scaling, and to be candid its rather snappy and responsive.

I did this 100% for my own personal entertainment, so now for some thoughts for the community - what would be fun to use it for? A few of my thoughts....

I could use it as a HomeAssistant kiosk. Neat, but.... overkill compared to the tablets doing the same job.
Make it an emulation station, attach my steam controller and maybe my usb adapters for N64/GC/Sega/PS/etc.
Use it to test a series of distributions to see how well they handle touch drivers for this silly thing (EndeavorOS is probably going to happen, I may be a long time Debian guy but I should spend more regular time in other things, and not just my arch VMs).
I don't know, gcompris for my kids? They already have it though on an android tablet and an old mac mini (like, 2011ish) hooked up to the TV in the living room.
Make it another proxmox endpoint for the cluster, install a DE anyway, and then let it be an always-visible display for grafana?
Install OBS, let the hdmi capture have some purpose?

What about you folks, what would you find fun to do with this box?
