For every "GNU/" in "GNU/Linux", a local internet friend shrivels up and utterly collapses from the dangerous condensed amounts of cringe that being pedantic comes with.
Stop that. You're not convincing anyone. Just say Linux.

Funni #Linux #Wine #WIP umu prefix manager update.
A looot of code cleanup today. Now things are less redundant, and more stable when it comes to grabbing data.
The main thing though is implementing the New Shortcut window, with working icon support! It'll automatically get and apply an exe's icon by default. But if you want a custom icon, toss in an exe, png or ico and the manager takes care of the rest. This uses icoextract and icoutils to extract the highest quality image it finds.
I swear if any of you fuckers start saying mean things about yourselves, I'll personally ferry all the way up or down to where you live and put motivational memes on your front door and tell you why you're the best.

For a second-hand printer I got for $99, this thing's really been put to work over the past two months or so. It could be faster and leave a bit less stringing, but it allows me to print more than a couple of light gun shells that I may POSSIBLY be selling as prebuilts who knows???
Odwalla doesn't call it this, but I've affectionately named his new design the Odcon Mini. Just the parts view is smaller than an assembled PiCON, but still feels wicked nice in the hand. :)
@kirby I don't really pretend to know the minutia about this, but it's just a commentary about things I've observed that makes the general populace weary when approaching open source.
Tbh nitpicking about the distinction and saying "uhm, ackshually it's source available" is pretty peak Linux user behavior and this is why we can't have nice things.
I get this'll be unpopular--and I don't really care, it's just my $0.02.
Look, most of my experience so far personally with FOSS is having some asshat take not even OpenFIRE code, but the EARLIER version of my publicly available gun4all code, both firm and gui, completely ruins the actual repo with their confusing as shit layout because they can't fathom how the Releases page works, undoes like a month's worth of my work, change obj names and renames it under a different brand with the sole intent to make money off my work.
This means YOU, Gonezo/Fusion Lightguns :|
So I'm kinda reconsidering the license so that at least we can maintain our brand and prevent both a Fusion or an AE Lightguns incident.
Like, I want the source to be freely available and have people contribute, but I also don't want people to run off and fucking steal my work wholesale and sell it off as their own thing. Shitty people are why we can't have nice things.
And I imagine if you too devoted... What, eight months of your life to something, you too might want to protect it a little.
To be fair:
If a source (code) is available to the public, with the intent by the original copyright owner, therefore an 'open' source, that does make it... An *open source.*
Don't think anyone said it has to be Free & Open Source (i.e. with a permissive license) for the source to be open, as you can still view and research the source either way - that's why there's the distinction, is there not?
Of course, whether it's freely whatever or not is up to the creator/maintainer.
BTW by the way for those who are interested:
you can not only get a V20 locally for like sub-one-hundge (<$100), you can still get parts for these things AND REPAIR IT.
It's like the last piece of mobile tech with no glued down components, it's just easily accessible screws and a removable back/battery. Even the headphone jack and USB C ports are modular.
If a dedicated PMP isn't up your alley for price/maintainability, get a V20 for music. Seriously, it's a fucking audiofile unicorn bargain.
*oh and it has an easily unlockable bootloader and a fairly active aftermarket custom firmware community.
yes the hires DAC works in those too, I just use stock because I like the second display thingy.
THAT SAID, if the Tangara comes through and I can either get a good deal on that or DIY it semi-easily, that's gonna be a good contender for second place.
But a used V20 is still like the deal of the century if you wanna sink your teeth into a good quality dedicated thingy for moosic.
@a1ba Most of the things I have are either region locked to Japan or just not available digitally period.
I also just don't want to have to worry about things like licensing, which KILLS the deal for me tbh frfr
When people say MP3 players are dead, and even I, Apple despiser extraordinaire, still think the iPod 3rd Gen is peak technology:
What are you talking about?
(To this day, I still regret selling the two of mine that my dad left--but they went to hopefully better homes, and I needed the money. GOSH do I still love this dingus look aaaaa)
Slight tangent, but I saw someone earlier who, for some reason, felt the need to validate that they/their friend was "still" using an MP3 player.
To them, I subpost with: why? Dedicated portable music players are fucking awesome.
No lie, this LG V20 is one of my favorite hand-me-down nuggets out of everything I own.
It has all of my music locally stored on bleeding edge micro SD card technology, no SIM card and no need for stinking WiFi, has a Hires DAC, and pumps out volume for all my headphones.
I legit never leave the house without this.
Not to mention, as a VGM enthusiast, streaming just doesn't cut it for like, 75% of the things I have in my collection.
Sidenote: I'd been using QT Creator to build both QMamehook and G4ALL-GUI, but of course being Linux I'd just had it installed from the package manager.
Lo and behold, when I go to the actual site to download on Windows...
ooooooh.
I don't imagine doing much more coding than my Lightgun projects, but this is making me SERIOUSLY consider putting "NOT built with AI" as a feature on my current and future projects. ._.
