The student id's use nfc here. Nothing to scan.

The university that I'm at is trying to get new students to use a digital student id that uses google wallet for scanning I think. They aren't giving any new students physical student id's unless they need it for something that doesn't work with the digital ones.

So yeah some people do need google wallet.

idk I was using a 12 year old cpu and it worked fine for gaming. Only upgraded because I wanted to compile stuff in reasonable timeframes.

Highschooler here, everyone already uses vpn's to bypass the school firewall to view blocked sites and stuff while on school wifi.

The org.foo.bar thing is done so that multiple packages with the same name can coexist. It's a design choice, not something that gets fixed. It would be nice to be able to type in the name of the package and it looks for the package like in flatpak remove and install though.

TempleOS (wikipedia) is a meme os. It's supposed to be god's os and was singlehandedly coded by the late Terry Davis. So this post isn't really marketing, and the reference is just supposed to be humorous.

I'm pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.

Use soulseek instead. Nicotine+ is a pretty good soulseek client.

I'm pretty sure they Epic bought Bandcamp for their battle with Apple and then did literally nothing with it.

Duolingo is pretty bad at teaching you a language so I don't think we really need to make an open source alternative. If you want to actually learn a language, just use anki (anki is open source) for flashcards and get a textbook. I say anki because it uses a spaced repetition system which is the only way to effectively study more than 100 flashcards and there are browser plugins that allow you to create new flashcards from a couple clicks on a new word. Once you get far enough you won't have to use the textbook and will be able to just sentence mine for words and have to google the occasional grammar point.

No, for me its the opposite, when I buy a game I'm more likely to actually play it because I want to get my money's worth of enjoyment, while with a pirated game, there isn't a need to play the game, even if I do have fun with it.

Worse than that, on the psp if you play japanese games that are not localised to english, the circle becomes the okay button, but in the rest of the os, the x is the okay button so you have to mentally switch.
