Yeah, pretty much exactly the same scenario. I used gallium os on an Acer Chromebook but I think that distro has been long discontinued. I gave that laptop away though.

Now I just use a (different) chromebook as a audio sink for pipewire so I can use my tv speakers from my desktop. Its just running straight debian though.

Yeah pretty much this. Google had a pretty successful effort to sell these devices as part of a managed solution: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/technology/google-educati... Im guessing it was pretty easy for teachers (who they reached out to bypassing school procurement officers) or IT to manage.

Honestly, I used use a cheap chromebook throughout college since it was a fantastic linux device. Cheap (bought secondhand), Very little compute power, but fantastic keyboard, battery life, durable, light, and it ran coreboot. Super easy to unlock too for the early devices. You just had to remove the read protect screw. Obviously thats very niche though

Its just a system that optionally exposes a birthday read from a json db. You don't have to use it, and you don't have to use applications that rely on it. And if you are going to use applications that have an age verification, this is a pretty serviceable standard.

I don't understand the uproar. Systemd isn't perfect but it gets so much hate for the value it provides

>One idempotent PowerShell script does all of it

Could you share this script?

Also how is your experience with actually using the VM? Can you get most/all of the GPU resource? Is it fully passing the GPU through?

You want the "community" to reverse engineer the game server, where all the game logic lives, from the game client? This is the state of many online only games.

Of course it should be legal to reverse engineer software you own, but you have to actually have access to the software to reverse engineer it.

The difficulty in distinguishing the two is likely intentional. At my previous org, Oracle sent a spreadsheet of IPs to my company's compliance department which they claimed were using the extension pack and so violated their license agreement. They demanded proof of the license.

The vast majority including I, only ever used guest additions (GPL).

It would be extraordinarily rude . But it's definitely not what the parent comment meant. :)

Pretty lousy argument. Firstly, the majority of inmates in the US are white (58%). I'd assume mug shot stats are similar, or at the very least not mostly black people.

Moreover, if a algorithm enforces bias to the detriment of inoccents, it's a bad algorithm

You're totally ignoring or forgetting context. Which is that the green book exists because of the Jim Crow laws at the time, along with the general racism.

It's not remotely racist to stay away from white businesses when there is a certain possibility of service refusal, and a possibility that you might be assulted and killed. Hence the necessity of this book.

To say that his family was racist for not trusting white people with the books info, is to be totally ignorant (Tulsa is one example).

You have an extremely weird idea of racism that is not grounded in reality.

How did you populate this map? I looked at the Transnational Radio Encounters dataset and didn't find a list of stations, let alone a link to their stream.
