Ladybird started as a SerenityOS browser, and is now being made standalone.

Same (problematic) developer.

It wasn’t for Ladybird. It was for SerenityOS.

The irony youre laughing about isnt there.

Yeah.

It can get real ugly in tech sometimes, and I really hate seeing it.

For a long time I considered tech the more inviting and accepting bunch, but that has definitely changed over time. There’s some real gross stuff out there.

Good idea, already covered with a modified lenovo tiny though

Might do a “portable” version though!

Lets combine that with the contributing.md here as a response to “Your docs could be written better, I can do that”, and how he stands with DHH (note Lunduke there btw), which was a response to DHH+Ruby…

Well it kind of paints a picture. A very specific one, imo.

Lunduke, the video of the post, is also a pretty notably tech right wing, which is why I mention to note that earlier.

I will say, I think Kling hides it better than DHH, same with Vaxry, but… yeah its pretty small and specific circles that seem to gather.

No worries, like I was saying its just how it reads, I’m not offended in the slightest

As someone who has been online since the late 80’s (BBS) and early 90’s (internet), I’m well aware of how things can be amplified.

However, this does not require in-depth review. These are things you can discover with a cursory search that would have taken less time than writing that comment, FYI. I don’t think anyone is sitting here suggesting Kling has grand plans for a gassing center, just that he promotes far right conspiracy theories and other hard-right ideology. This is a simple, easily verifiable statement.

i will stay with a neutral “oookay….”

Just so you know, this can come across condescending. I’m not going to say that was your intention, but that is absolutely how it would be read.

Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory, whined about “leftist activists”.

The answer is because just a tiny bit of looking at kling - just like with DHH - will reveal so much more far-right attitude and behavior beyond kling rejecting an offer to fix the poorly written documentation.

So just for the record, I think this works quite nicely. Using foliate as the ebook reader, mx linux on the stick, its pretty responsive. I think I can trim it down further (maybe I’ll go full custom build if I have the time), but its pretty good to go right now.

One thing I was thinking about doing, since its OPDS friendly, is setting up a custom catalog to be available publicly that it can access, for ease of adding new books. I’m also going to grab and load a bunch locally, I have some on my library server right now, but I’ll probably focus and expand the collection a bit for this.

Maybe something with sections for economics, the environment, anti-imperialism, social progressivism, etc.

I also really like the idea of incorporating some of the piefed rational discourse kit (maybe including some videos in a different section, or links to a wiki? Not sure yet.).

Well that part it looks like will be a project unto itself, but either way - the anti-fascist proselytizer stick has a start!

I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔

Good question… They really aren’t bad at all when it comes to simple video playback… Worth trying on one of them at least!

Retro gaming I think is going to be good for one, cluster-wise I’d be better off with the old pi 3bs I have… somewhere… I think in with the microcontroller bin (amidst of a pile of esp32s).

I’ve got a USB gamepad I picked up when radio shack was closing its stores, I think thats with the old consoles though (everything going back to n64, my NES, Genesis, and PS1 are long gone unfortunately), which is at my BIL’s house as he is playing my old Wii and PS2. Which is now making me want to take the of Xbox shell and shove a PC in there for the living room, a good excuse to upgrade the living room PC… But a whole new project at the same time lol

Its quite snappy on there! I think I’m going to theme it up and start building the library tonight

Here you go, one still has windows on it:

Ooh, MX grabbed it off the bat too:

You are thinking of the predecessor (2015), the 2016 model (while only rated for 1080p playback) is hdmi 1.4b and supports up to uhd30.

I am actually quite impressed with mxlinux on there!

Edit: Oh, for the record the little hdmi extension cable (~6" or so) is super handy and what he was missing when he had it plugged into the back of that monitor. I might stick it into a video switch though.

Oh thats fun! Thanks for the idea

Nah, they can definitely do a decent display, I’ve had a desktop running a stupidly fat web app (not mine) on those with 1440p at 60hz. And that stupid thing needed windows, which was even worse. Trying to do a second thing with windows + that stupid app? Waste of time, not going to happen, but the main app ran just fine as bloat on top of bloat.

But light desktop stuff they can do just fine, however that isn’t what I want. A few ideas from the original:

• Portable library (definitely going to happen, I’m installing now and going to build Bookworm on it)
• Portable (not mobile) emulation station, may happen, toss some NES and Genesis games on it. May try that out tonight after the library build.
• (not from the other thread) Portable kid distraction (basically boot to gcompris) - maybe, I’ll have to see how well that works. Should only need opengl 2.1, but I think that chip supports 4.something, so should be good.

Hahaha - I like it

Oh definitely they are my preferred overall.

I tend to find mostly dells, with a few HP’s and lenovos. Next to me are… 3 lenovos, 4 dells, and 2 HP’s. A few more are in the bin behind me I’ll need to test and sort out before I put into use (anything dead I salvage what I can).

Edit: And the lenovos almost always seem to have a full GPU in them which is nice

I’m referring to the Anarchist FAQ

There is a group read of it happening that I am just now realizing I was probably tagged on my db0 account, and I totally forgot about it!

Anyway, I think something with both non-fiction works and fiction with a specific lean would be neat. Everything from The Iron Heel to The Conquest of Bread, a bit of Civil Disobedience by Thoreau, etc.
