the arch maintainers are not terminally online like some of us.

you have to install a nerd font i guess. nerd-fonts dot com.

3rd thing: these tools may not be available on the remote server at your company. so you don't want to stumble on the commands (aliases exist but the outputs are wildly different)

We used to be able to do multiplayer only without the need for official servers.

it's a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer when we are discussing about single player campaign based RPGs or about multiplayer when the company deliberately shuts it down in favour of a new version that just milks players for more money; or about toasters that definitely don't need internet connection to function.

Thinking you can even prevent all unkowns is a foolish endeavor. Only work on solving the problem at hand. Why would I think about some future requirement and lose sleep over it? That's the PM and sales team headache! Or think of it another way... you haven't yet reached the bridge yet but you're already thinking you need rope for the imagined bridge collapse.

All you can do with the present is make it relatively easier for your future self. Avoid complexity (thanks grug brained programmer!), don't tie yourself into knots and back yourself in corners (keep the code readable, testable and simple. This means minimal external dependencies, lose coupling but good coherence, and avoiding reinventing solution to difficult to solve problem)

some of these goals seem contradictory but you have to apply them to a specific problem and the objective of solving the problem (why are you solving this problem?). For instance, for crypto the advice of avoiding reinventing the solution takes precedence to minimal dependencies one because your objective is security which is important to get right without tolerance for bugs.

I have never had luck with stability with fedora. But this was 5 years ago. Might try that.

these morons are going to realize one can't do any kind of training they assume should be trivial on an SBC like the PI. Then the stock is going to crash and we will be left with a ruined Raspberry Pi company.

don't like that big companies don't want to pay for technology even if it's chump change

hate to be that guy but the product itself is a distraction since most people just write on their laptops or desktops. If you want distraction free you can always use pen(cil) and paper.

that's the company's problem. They made it too complicated.
