Real Linux is definitely the way - but GSI Roms are totally capable of microG if I’m not mistaken! On that github’s FAQ page it mentions the FLOSS version comes packed with f-droid; microG can be installed from there and works fine - it doesnt need to be bundled in the ROM! 🙂
Or just stick with the vanilla gsi & you’ve got bare aosp. Throw F-droid on there, pull down microG and bam!
THANK YOU! Such a glaring hole in graphene os, I dont know how it doesnt get talked about more!
My thoughts exactly. Calling for an audit from a corrupt company operating under a corrupt gov? Rip stjv, probly. Fucked up.
Dude OK, you read my mind! They also seemingly recorded audio on a mic in the room instead of recording the call directly?? 😵💫 wtf is happening
There’s a lineagoOS fork that comes prepackages with microG as well, helping to keep google services style stuff working (maps links etc) without using any actual google services. It’s my daily driver, would recommend!
YMMV - some stuff still flat out doesn’t work if it’s too reliant on google services. Graphene is definitely better in that regard, if you have a pixel.
Yeah, came to the comments to say exactly this! The writer has an RSS feed as well - added to my reader!! 😃 cheers, op - what a find!
Imagine the chads at valve actually respond to the gimp 3 release by announcing HL3.
bonus points if they use gimp 3 to make the thumbnail
Ah shit, seriously? Congrats!
If you haven’t already, you should really play half life Alyx now! It’s an unforgettable experience in VR, so if you can hold out to play it in a headset you should!
If not though, there are mods out there to switch it to a standard flat-screen FPS. But I don’t think the experience would be nearly as cool!
What, do you own the world?
😂 I also read this as Ron’s voice!
Nah as much as i love doing stuff via terminal, I am extra paranoid specifically about writing to the wrong device and losing data; I prefer as many confirmations as possible that I’m writing to the correct drive, and graphical installers tend to give me just a few more reassurances. A few examples would be stuff like
I’m also the kind of person who stares at a written email worrying about every last nuance of my phrasing, so 🤷♂️😂 definitely a me problem, I think!
Balenaetcher has, for me at least, failed to write to USBs for the last 3 years or so that I’ve tried to use it - meanwhile random iso writers from flatpak have been more reliable for me. Very obnoxious that so many iso related sites recommend it. Rufus kicks tons of ass, if for whatever reason you’re still on windows.
Also on most distros I’ve tried, the disk utility has some sort of right click or context menu that gets you a ‘restore disk image’ button that works great as well.
Edit= I used Popsicle USB writer from flatpak on steam deck with no issue today! Made by system76 (makers of popOS) and found on flatpak. It is absolutely no frills, but works well enough to write an SD card image for a raspberry pi! 🙂
…in 2003, [bismuth] was discovered to be extremely weakly radioactive. The metal’s only primordial isotope, bismuth-209, undergoes alpha decay with a half-life about a billion times the estimated age of the universe.
Jesus crust!

What the shit - this is how I learn ‘cd’ without parameters takes you home?!?!
The amount of times my dumb ass has typed “cd ~/.” Or something stupid instead of a simple cd… Gaht dang
Absolutely badass. Crazy to think that folks just a coupla generations up from us had lives without modern medicine and stuff (eg birth in a teepee!) Incredible. I guess sometimes it feels like modern medicine has been around longer than it has.
3 minute BBC earth vid of the little dudes. How have I never seen these things before! Incredible
So stoked to see this. A bit disheartening to read this kinda shit, though=
“This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “No company — no matter how large or influential — is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”

…a drawn-out appeals process will delay any immediate effects for both consumers and advertisers. The appeals process could take as long as five years…
Sigh.
You could also give Shizuku a try! Connects to android’s adb bridge over WiFi, right from your phone! From there you can use something like termux to shell straight into your phone!
Thanks for sharing this!! I agree, seems hella neat! Only downside would be the shelf life of the physical media - but I think that’s besides the point! Clicky physical media that holds the game itself is the point!
Real neat concept!
