    What would you suggest instead for others hosting events like this?

    Interesting you think it's less important for "FOSS projects". I would think the chat should be free software especially in those circles. IRC, XMPP, Matrix, email. Lots of options…

    Can confirm, I ran a server like this at a LAN party once, 90% legitimate players and then a couple who hadn't bought the game. From what I recall they had fun and bought the game …

    I think they just meant that Microsoft owns Minecraft and you need an account with them these days. Java Edition stills runs on GNU/Linux last I checked. >it's been decade since I …

    If you are willing to do a bit of research, there are easily hackable models of PS3 and PS4 and then you can put dumped games on them even if the official store is gone and there's…

    It works for updates, I get an update from a friend or family's PC on my Deck all the time.

    Both Bang and Monster contain artificial sweeteners, unlike Red Bull. Maybe that could be what upset your stomach.

    I usually recommend Element X on Android, FluffyChat if they complain too much about Element X after using it a bit, and nheko on desktop. It is really annoying that Element X is m…

    Wiktionary lists cantine as an archaic form of canteen, also the french word that canteen came from is also spelled cantine.

    Is there a reason you don't want to use pipewire?

    Lots of questionable replies to you here, people recommending Android/Lineage/Graphene are being silly, Sailfish is a better answer but with major proprietary components I would st…

    I had to do the pledge in early elementary school. It didn't continue forever. Not sure if people still do it. I do agree it's disturbing. Interestingly we once read a book in scho…

    I'm using a OnePlus 8T with LineageOS and it's been great for me. I replaced the stock OS day 1, after getting the latest firmware update. I got it off eBay for a decent price a fe…

    The notes end when the song does, then you can start another song or stop playing. Do you ever run out of posts when scrolling?

    While Switch is 360-esque now, the Wii Classic Controller had symmetrical sticks at the bottom, Wii U Pro Controller and GamePad had symmetrical sticks on top. So Nintendo wasn't t…

    Seconding this. Look for something with ROCKNIX support and put that on there.

    Modern controller DNA goes back to the PS1, first to have 4 shoulder buttons and two analog sticks.

    I check for game and system updates on my Deck before and after a session and it just takes a few minutes at most. I get excited to read changelogs if a game has a big update. Thes…

    The OLED Switch has the same specs and is the same gen, just a different screen. Like the Vita 1000 vs Vita 2000, they play the same games. Xbox One and Series are different gens.
