  • What site can I use to find if games will run on my computer?
  • If you check out the minimum requirements on the Steam page of the game and your numbers for processor, memory, and graphics card are higher then you are probably good. There may be a bit more subtlety where higher isn't always better but you can do a search for whatever they are recommending and fairly easily guess whether your stuff is better or not.

  • How do I archive a podcast I've already downloaded in Playapod (iOS) that has since gone offline?
  • According to this you can copy stuff onto it. I assume you've tried to see if you can copy off? If not, then there is probably no way to extract the audio, short of recording it as it plays.

    I was only able to find a couple episodes online. One on someone's google drive and a few in the wayback machine, all from this thread

    edit: if playapod has an option to store files on an sd card, that's usually stored unencrypted. (on android anyway...)

    edit: wait iphones don't even have sd card slots, right? lol

  • We're not the same! (period)
  • I don't open source because the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles.

    When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”

    These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users' sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social solidarity—that is, sharing and cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general.

    Tens of millions of people around the world now use free software; the public schools of some regions of India and Spain now teach all students to use the free GNU/Linux operating system. Most of these users, however, have never heard of the ethical reasons for which we developed this system and built the free software community, because nowadays this system and community are more often spoken of as “open source,” attributing them to a different philosophy in which these freedoms are hardly mentioned.

    Some of the supporters of open source considered the term a “marketing campaign for free software,” which would appeal to business executives by highlighting the software's practical benefits, while not raising issues of right and wrong that they might not like to hear. Other supporters flatly rejected the free software movement's ethical and social values. Whichever their views, when campaigning for open source, they neither cited nor advocated those values. The term “open source” quickly became associated with ideas and arguments based only on practical values, such as making or having powerful, reliable software. Most of the supporters of open source have come to it since then, and they make the same association. Most discussion of “open source” pays no attention to right and wrong, only to popularity and success; here's a typical example. A minority of supporters of open source do nowadays say freedom is part of the issue, but they are not very visible among the many that don't.

    The two now describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. For the free software movement, free software is an ethical imperative, essential respect for the users' freedom. By contrast, the philosophy of open source considers issues in terms of how to make software “better”—in a practical sense only. It says that nonfree software is an inferior solution to the practical problem at hand.

  • starting out

    Ok so this looks kind of interesting.

    I wanna try it out and see if I can get used to it.

    How long did it take for you people to get up to proper writing speed? I need to use the hungarian (magyar) layout so that's quite a few more keys to remember.

    (yes I did write this just to practice a little)
