    If they nuke it, I'll let it die. If they don't want my app thats fine, I'll publish apks on github or something.

    The "old apps need updates" policy makes no sense, until you realise it requires no human intervention. It should be "broken apps need updates", but that requires someone to test the app.

    The privacy policy and other requirements they have added recently have also been pointless exercises in futility as well.

    Google has been harassing me to push out a new release or have my apps delisted. There is nothing new to add, nothing to fix, they just want a pointless new release.

    I'm letting my apps die as well, why should I put up with needless churn.

    So I absolutely get the syncthing guys rationale.

    Minecraft can be pretty RAM/CPU hungry, especially if you want it to be playable. I can't speak to fortnite, but usually a games "minimum" requirements are not going to result in a enjoyable experience.

    It might be better to save money for a better laptop than to buy a min spec laptop that cant really play the games

    Minecraft can be quite demanding, the minimum specs are a bit misleading.

    If portability is not a real requirement, a desktop may be cheaper, but once you add monitor/keyboard etc that can defeat the savings somewhat. But you can also keep/upgrade the parts independently, which will be cheaper in the longer term.

    At your budget, you want to be looking at second hand. New gaming laptops at staples are starting around $800. There are probably second hand bargains to be had, just look for anything with an Nvidia or AMD graphics card, and as much RAM as possible (minimum 8gb, ideally 16gb or more). Upgradable RAM might be good, but its very rare on laptops now.

    I cant help on the second hand market, but perhaps its worth tasking your son with doing the research?

  • Is it safe to simply delete a huge app or file?

    Think of a file system as a book. There is a table of contents, and then all the files are in the subsequent pages. Deleting a file is typically done by removing the entry in the table of contents, the pages are untouched, which means its a very minimal change.

    Deleting an app should be fine, but if its an older phone, you may want to look for a migration path, as hardware will fail as it ages. Could be anything, battery, charging ports, buttons. One day it will die.

    Avidemux is a very simple video editor, so thats half your problem.

    I'm also still searching for the organisational half.

    You may want to clarify, as patreon and kickstarter are often used as paywalls. Do you mean people can donate to a cause, and everyone gets the benefits?

    Not a direct answer, because I don't know of anything like that, but can you make your cursor a cross hair, so its symetrical and transparent near the middle?

    Something like: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1964585

    I guess you'd get donut sugar in your belly button? But if your already heading down the road of fucking donuts, that might not be a concern.

    Probably get ants though.

    Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation? Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

    I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size. ... Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth. For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better. So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.

    I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection. I replaced the cable with the exact same model of HDMI cable, and its all good. The cables arent frequently inserted or removed, and they are otherwise in good condition. I have no idea how or why this could happen. Any ideas?

    I have this very weird glitch with Gnome, running on Xorg. I can move my mouse off the right hand edge of the screen, and the entire gnome UI starts to scroll over the the left, giving me a glitchy mess on the right hand side of the screen. The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, because it just became transparent instead, but the transparent region where the terminal is should be off screen. Hope I have explained that well, has anyone else hit that? I wonder if its due to multiple monitors, or non-aligned monitors?

    I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

    I have been printing with PETG on glass for a little while now, and have gone through almost an entire roll. Yesterday I had my first print stick so hard that it delaminated the glass :(. I stopped using hairspray as it made the prints not stick at all, and printing bare glass was just fine. But something about yesterdays print made the glass give up. Is this how PETG + Glass normally fails? Works perfectly for years, and then suddenly fails?
