Getting Linux on a Surface can be hard.

How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)

There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.

Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.

I'm curious, what's your highest play time on a game? Or maybe top 3 even.

This CDC article about a study from the 90s looked at 90 children who had ingested cigarette butts. Although some had to be hospitalized, all recovered fully within 12 hours.

So, yeah, definitely not a good idea.

It's so awful that these are harvested for skate boards. Are those sick ollies really worth it?

Good to know. Maybe I'll give Tubi a shot then.

But, I don't have a USB charger that can draw power from a black hole.

Oh. Yup. I didn't see that. Idk how good Tubi is with ad blocking, but I can tell you that it works with YouTube.

I thought I recognized this. MST3k did an episode on this one.

I was gonna suggest this. Have you tried dolphin on your phone, OP? If it can run the games well, then just add a controller like the "GameSir Lite" for relatively cheap.

So, the girl on the poster. That appears to be a real photograph. (I know the background isn't real.) However, they've done something to her that makes the photo look unnatural. You see this kinda thing in art from the time yet not anymore. Does anybody know what's been done to it?

SE USA. A cashier who doesn't want small talk here is rare. I've even had small talk happen at Aldi's. I didn't know they were trained to not do that, as the other poster said.

 

This is a fun one to scroll through. Maybe somebody will enjoy it.

 

I made myself a wallpaper to force myself to study toki pona. Maybe someone else will like it too.

 

Since I went through the trouble of making this for myself, I figured I would post it in case it might be useful for someone else. Prices are in millions of credits, rounded to the nearest decimal.

 

It's a fresh install of 15.6 Leap that I downloaded and installed last night. Device is a 1st generation Surface Go. I just can't seem to get the onscreen keyboard to stay up when I swipe it up from the bottom.

Also, the keyboard does not appear when I click a text input box.

I thought maybe the long click of swiping up was triggering a right-click, but the problem persists when I disable the long-click option in settings.

I'm stumped. Everything else is working great. I really like that long-click right-click is working, and this is the first Gnome distro I've tried where Firefox touch-scroll works out of the box. And, in general, the system seems faster than other gnome distros I've tried. (The device isn't exactly a powerhouse.)

Thank you in advance for any replies.

 
 

Hello all!

My new phone (Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 running Android 14) keeps giving me this alert that an app is giving full screen notifications. The app in question is the freaking telephone app, which I of course want full screen notifications from! There's no option to disable the alert. (The two choices are "go to options" and "not now," by the way. And "go to options" takes you to the telephone app's notification settings.) I cannot seem to find a setting related to this, and I've disabled every Motorola app (including system apps) that I can find in the app list. Although, some of them don't allow disabling.

Anybody familiar with this by chance? I'm getting this stupid alert for every other phone call.

Thank you!

So far, I'm liking it. I rinsed it out before using, and there was trace amounts of blue ink already in the pen. Mysterious.

I filled it with Noodler's Heart of Darkness, and it writes very smoothly. Left it sitting overnight, and it continued writing smoothly this morning with no hiccups whatsoever. Very nice! It's supposed to be a "fine," but it really seems like more of a "medium" to me. It comes with a piston filling cartridge converter which didn't seem removable at first, but it just slides out if you pull on it a little.

I got it from AliExpress, if you're wondering. It will surely be available on eBay soon enough.

 

I tried to make my duplicate as different from the original as possible, but they fell in love anyway

 

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

 

I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can't find any details about them online.

 

A dice tray or a set of dice is an obvious and universal choice. Anybody have any more ideas? Thanks in advance.

When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.

As an example, if I type

The quick brown foz

And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this

The quick brownfo

If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this

Thequickbrown

It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.

Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)
