Unsuccessfully.

Maybe it's some kind of knitting implement.

Afaik the free drivers can't control the clocks so the the card runs at low clock the whole time and is really slow. Not sure about features but I think it runs most games fine in terms of that.

Ah right! I always put a new ROM immediately.

There might be ways around this with an overlay fs.

This doesn't have anything to do with rooting? It's just a new filesystem.

LGPL says the user needs to be able to replace the LGPL'ed code with their own modified version. You can't do that on an iPhone. I think that's the issue there.

Also the SDL devs are themselves game developers/porters (I think that came out of Loki games), so it's not so hard to understand why they would relicense their stuff, it basically makes their own life easier also.

It's so commercial game devs can ship it on iOS and consoles. I think Apple makes it impossible to comply with the LGPL. Probably same thing for Sony, XBox and Nintendo.

I'm not too mad even though I'm a GPL fanboy. If it helps SDL adoption among game devs then that will help portability and Linux support in the long run. It will also help games run better on Linux: plenty of games that don't use SDL have annoying issues with my tiling WM for example.

With SDL 2, they even thought about the future compatibility issues due to static linking: Even if a game statically links SDL, you can still override the static copy with your own dynamic library. The static SDL will forward all function calls to the user supplied SDL.

First of all, this is probably a bad sign for the health of your drive, you should look at the dmesg output and SMART diagnostics of the drive. There's a package called smartmontools or something like that. Also make a backup now if you haven't yet.

If it's just the filesystem that's borked try fsck like that other person said.

I like Taler, but it's specifically designed to not give anonymity to sellers. In order to verify that you got a valid token (meaning it was issued by an accredited bank and was not already spent) you need to deposit it with the bank.

Now if you get money from a friend you trust has given you a valid token, then that's not an issue. You can just use it to pay for stuff and nobody will know how you got that token. A seller however will want to verify the token immediately or they might end up giving stuff away for free.

I guess for donations it could work since you're not giving anything in return and so can't be scammed, but it's obviously a bit of a problem since you could be sitting on worthless tokens. You don't know what funds you have until you try to spend them, and people will probably get pretty annoyed with you if most of your tokens end up being fake. Not sure how one might protect themselves against this sort of spam.

You think FairEmail is too cluttered but like K9? 🤔

K9 is the most insane mail client, it's got hundreds of settings! I was so happy to ditch K9 when I found FairEmail.

Does that stuff still happen? I didn't try this but I had kinda hoped this stuff got fixed with the introduction of systemd.

They're a sucker who's gonna get fleeced. If they answer that they know the game is rigged (as most of them will), but that they totally understand how this works, they're a super sucker who'll get double fleeced.
