Wouldn't put it past them as the Retroarch lead devs have done shit like that before.

Do you have examples? I usually stay out of dev drama as well but I just started using Retroarch and I'm curious. I also don't want to support people that abuse the community, so I'd like to be informed.

I don't think the article included it and it's a little difficult to find the phrasing.

I found a sample ballot

https://www.boe.ohio.gov/clark/c/upload/ELEC_BallotProofs.pdf

The phrasing there is

To create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state

However a vote of "Yes" would establish a non-partisan (or, IMO more accurately, a mixed partisan) committee of 15 (5R, 5D, 5 other) where a majority of the committee must approve the redistricting.

The extended description starts with this

1. Repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three-quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts.

Technically all of this is correct but I can absolutely see how it's misleading voters.

Full disclosure, I'm not a lawyer or political scientist and I do not live in Ohio.

There's a lot of comments talking about used and refurbs. I personally use these types to get good deals but I also have a reasonably robust backup protocol. Not a full 321 backup but an appropriate level of risk for my needs.

My point being, if you go that route, they're cheaper but the odds that one dies on you might be higher. Make sure you manage your backup strategy to a risk value you're comfortable with.

That said, I've also had great experiences with serverpartdeals. I've also used diskprices.com to find deals.

Things to consider are noise, temps, power-on time, etc. For myself, temps are fairly consistent in my case and it's in a closet so I don't care about noise. I also don't need particularly fast access on the HDDs (I use an nvme cache strategy as well) so I can pretty much use whatever. Your needs might differ.

I understand the frustration; almost nowhere does agile "right". However, this is a gross misrepresentation of the philosophy.

Specifically it leaves out and ignores this very important part:

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

As seen on agilemanifesto.org

The base philosophy is meant to remind us what we are here to do: make software (or whatever project we're working on), not become dogmatic about processes or tools or get bogged down in peripheral documentation.

Immich will be funded by an optional purchase in the near future. Since I can't find anything else, my best guess is some portion of that goes to FUTO. But it is just a guess. I also couldn't find any specifics on FUTO's funding.

I've never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they're saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.

Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?

Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!

Nice very solid answer. I didn't understand it was a replacement OS. Do you have a browser?

I'd love an e-reader with a browser. Nothing fancy, just something for looking up lore or related topics while reading.

So the obvious question, how does this compare to KOReader? That's had a long, stable life and, at first glance, seems to have the same goals. I didn't see any kind of acknowledgement or comparison in the wiki.

Also, "What to Expect in the First Year" (or something close to that). We found it very helpful as a reference text when we were freaking out about something as new parents do lol.

Well not sure what was different this time but it fired right up after install.

I didn't test extensively but the controller support seemed to work reasonably well. I just played through Mos Eisley and nearly got gold even with a little delay on figuring out controls.

There are definitely some tweaks to the control scheme I'll want to make - it doesn't follow modern conventions very well (e.g. the fire button isn't any of the trigger/shoulder buttons). The only issue I noticed is if I accelerated, the camera didnt always keep up. I'm not sure what exactly is causing that. I'll have to play with settings later to see if I can get it right.

IMO, much better than keyboard though, for my preference anyway.

Unrelated to the controller, it doesn't want to use the right sound output and I can't figure out how to control that. In my setup a fairly minor inconvenience. I might be able to figure that out when I get more time to mess with it.

I know I'm a little off-topic but I've been trying on and off to get this game to work for years. Are you playing on Windows? I can't get it to start up properly. Any tips?

If I can get it working, I do have an xbox controller for my PC and would be happy to share my experience!

I tried to avoid Calibre for as long as I could. In my opinion, it's way too opinionated about how everything is organized. Instead of working with you, the user, it forces you into line with how the developer thinks it should work. The developer is also kind of an ass to his community and, as a dev myself, I have some concerns over some of their choices.

All that said, I finally gave in recently and converted to Calibre because there's nothing else that works as well. It's too niche of a space for there to be much competition. To use it remotely - or, more accurately for my use, headless - the docker image I use sets up a VNC viewer to work with the application.

For actually browsing the content that Calibre organizes, I settled on Kavita. There's no competition for Calibre's organization but Kavita is easily the best content browser I've tried. If you've organized and tagged your ebooks with Calibre, it does a great job of making them available on the web and offers an OPDS server as well as the web viewer. I am more into ebooks than comics or manga but I have a few that Kavita also manages well.
