  • confuser@lemmy.zipOPtoLinux@lemmy.ml•Installed homebrew on wii

    So basically homebrew is a mod for the Wii that basically changes some things about the os so that you can install just about anything you want through the homebrew channel, with it you can play emulators and arcade games and do some semi useful stuff like ftp or media player with visualizer and there are some apps for preventing bricking as well as restoring functionality to some games such as enabling online modes to Mario kart and some other things.

    It is pretty easy to do, it is easier than creating a bootable flash drive for Linux because you dont have to flash anything, you just unzip a file to an SD card and pop it in and away you go. It is pretty fun too because after you go through the initial boot you get a message containing an image of a red envelope containing a cartoon bomb and next thing you know you have a channel which shows you a bubble screensaver (this is what the channel is like before you put any apps on it which is equally as easy to do)

    Instead I say we let ai play with the unreal government pyramid scheme that is money while we utilize the money in the same way as we already do, essentially let the AIs do the boring stuff.

    And then much later on when there is risk of not finding a niche that needs individuals we then work on creating automated labor so that we need not worry about responsibility as individuals while the AIs play present day jobs in the same we we presently do.

    At this point income and responsibility are solved issues all while not even remotely changing how society works other than what we as people do day to day so that way we may finally consider living life as we please instead of being beholden to fixing problems of the world.

    People say its going to suck to use but like, surely it doesn’t suck to use basic linuxy apps that tend to work well on linux. Like for using as a ereader, the main thing is ability to handle file formats and there’s plenty of simple file management tools for this, for notes nothing gets easier than markdown for text files, idk about handwriting things on them but I saw a couple demos showcasing how good it is specifically on the pine note and from the looks of it, it is definitely useable and seems to not be hacky out of the box. I saw some mention of pine note coming with Debian out of the box but there seems to be much more active development for it on arch and they basically develop on arch and put it on Debian when its good or something like that but I’ve still seen most people reccomend using arch.

    Hmm that’s interesting, its like, we have all those things too but they just aren’t for consumers, like the vehicle delivery stuff here is a thing but its not widely used and is typically for special occasions.

    Some places are compact enough to be walkable for most things, usually in big cities but sometimes in suburbs we will have a shopping center of some sort that has all the basic needs really close but very rare for it to be in a suburb and reasonably walkable but still technically walkable. Kinds funny because I’m thinking about how perspective change a lot here, I know Columbia isn’t in the us but I’ve seen some people migrate to Columbia and basically you just walk miles to get toyour things and occasionally order online but more often people have a address somewhere else and you just pick up your things yearly in some way and cars and bikes exist over there but basically only for traveling for vacation or something of the sort far away.

    I’ve literally never seen something like that wheely car box before lol, that does seem pretty fun.

    Just today actually I got in our truck to bring home a washer since ours broke yesterday, its actually kinda hit or miss if someone has access to a truck or van I think here people just mostly don’t do things themselves and they just have companies fix stuff for them so a lot of us lazy Americans don’t even really need big cars and if they also worked from home they may not even need a car at all if biking and ubering can get a few things, for the longest time we would borrow my grandpas truck occasionally but now my brother and my dad have trucks.

    My brother has a super beefy truck meant for hauling things and we definitely HAUL lol we use his dump trailer so often for things now its hard to image not having it, just today I helped load it up with leaves and he dumped it at the dump, we used it to move furniture from my grandmas house across states because it would have cost stupid amounts of money to pay for this service, we use it to dump our own messes and other peoples messes too and if we didn’t we would just not really have a clear avenue for getting rid of them because its big stuff that can’t be put in trash and paying for a service to do it costs money which feels like it shouldn’t but does, we can also load up the dump trailer with things to build our deck and we happen to live unusually close to a store that basically has all the things for anything basically so we just drive like 10 minutes and get all the things for projects and usually have to make multiple of these trips per project because nothing ever goes smoothly.

    I guess it really just depends a lot, countryside is basically more like columbia and city is more like, well, we know cities lol and then there is steps in between depending on a city being more or less happening.
