Looks a bit like Soundtracker et al.

[Trinity Desktop Environment] (https://www.trinitydesktop.org/) is really cool - a bit more XP-era, mid-2000s style, though.

I’m not sure I do, please can you explain?

I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me.

Could that day be today?

Great, but small Android phones are still few and far between. The Jelly Star is a notable exception, but those devices don’t seem to get much in the way of long-term support

VMware offers their Workstation hypervisor for free now. I’m able to run Windows 10 surprisingly well using that, and use relatively intensive software like Affinity Designer without any noticeable issues.

But can it summarise them correctly?

Someone broke it down here: https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/

I think it was prior to version 2, but these days it’s based on Sid - https://vanillaos.org/nerd-info

Yes, it’s called VanillaOS! https://vanillaos.org/

Agreed. Partly because the movies have actual endings…

Deus Ex had mirrors, dude. Duke 3D had them, even.

Aren’t the Templars still kicking about? Or is that just in the conspiracy theories?

Unfortunately they’re not 100% slavery-free as yet (it’s a big production chain, and there’s only so much one company can do) - however, they do have this Open Chain which makes the whole thing a bit more accountable. https://www.tonysopenchain.com/

I understand they made some code contributions (no sources to hand right now) and also made / sponsored the WPGraphQL and Advanced Custom Fields plugins. The first, Automattic poached the developer; the second, Automattic rebranded it and removed any mention of WPE.

Not saying that WPE is beyond reproach; just not sure it’s 100% accurate to say they didn’t contribute anything back at all

Brooklyn Nine-Nine did an entire episode lampshading this whole thing. (S06E14 for the curious)

Oh, absolutely! But I do feel you’re trading a level of convenience for the privilege (and what a privilege!) - even something as simple as pirating one movie is already a much bigger hurdle than getting a Netflix subscription, for instance. Let alone setting up a Jellyfin server, backups, getting external connections / reverse proxying going, and so on.

The convenience of having your stuff at a click of a button is just too good.

Except when you go to find your stuff, discover it’s not there, and yearn to be able to just stuff a DVD in a player.

KRDC does a good job at RDP!
