For basic stuff like what's done in a browser I use the Falkon Browser. Very light weight. I will say it sucks for video acceleration though. 480p Max.

I use it for YouTube, emails, word processing with libreoffice. Runs SNES emulators quite well too.

I'm running AntiX Linux on a shitty 2010 netbook and it runs like a champ. Intel Atom and 2gb RAM.

We need svelter OSs, not new computers.

Nintendo DS emulation. That's about the one novelty use case.

I was going to play it, but poor linix compatibility with the ubisoft launcher killed that for me.

Been playing an early leaked copy. It's quite good. The summoning mechanic is much deeper than I thought it would be.

Items respond to eachother. If you send a Fire Slime onto grass blades, they catch on fire. If you put a bouyant object on water it will float.

If you out a rock on that bouyant object, it will sink. It's pretty next level.

My favorite part about hacking systems is when someone makes other controllers compatible.

In using my Xbox controller on my hacked Wii U.

Looks like a classic Battlefield game, vust closer to the OG star Wars Battlefront 2

Ah, this is satire.

I would definitely want more parties in Cuba on the governance side. One party is ripe for abuse. Generally the more the marrier.

Right now I think thier government is too large. Large isn't necessarily bad, but a government should only IMO be as large as it needs to be to help its population. Of course on a political compass, I'm more on the libertarian end in terms of governance.

I think the economics of Cuba would be better if the US would stop senseless embargo.

Again, ideally we want strong communist economic and social fabric AND a thriving democracy to pick leadership. I think they are struggling on the latter.

Of course my perspective is the strict embargos are in place solely because the US really doesn't want communism to work. If it worked somewhere, then it makes US capitalism look quite bad.

 

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
