Oh the app completely doesn’t load on a unlocked bootloader, this is on a locked bootloader system where I just activated Developer Mode to show the message of the app. I know that I can deactivate it again 😜

Unfortunately I don’t have a system with unlocked bootloader right now to show the message that comes up then.

Unfortunately I have to use the app to be a able to take card payments for my business.

It is mostly payment options that are affected from it, for example the Zettle App by PayPal

Trust me, it is not fine.

I have at least one app that disables major functions when Developer Mode is active in my stock android, even with a locked bootloader and without root.

That is already the case on Android phones with unlocked bootloader. Banking apps (in my experience) will either completely not work or only with limited functionality when run on a unlocked phone.

When I got into the company I was allowed to use Linux. But a few years ago the company was bought and merged with a much bigger company and the new IT policy made Windows mandatory.

Never heard of this, but it sounds very interesting. Thanks for mentioning it.

Well yes, yes they did. It is called Canoe and is for example running inside the SNES Classic Mini. And that is not the only emulator they wrote. Writing an emulator is not some obscure magic, and it is way easier if you own all the schematics and other Information used to build the original hardware.

It would be great if it would interface the disk drive to the cores, but this is not loading the game from a disk but using the disk drive to tell the MiSTer which core and game to start from its regular storage.

What is next? Starting a game with a rotary phone? In the end it is again and again the same tapto gimmick, with another device emulating the NFC reader.

Not for emulators, but with Everdrives for example it is possible to play it on native hardware and there load times matter. So improving loading times is a great feature

I have cups (but not cups-browsed) installed, but I only start the service when I need to print something a few times a year. Until then it is only a binary sitting in a folder, nothing more.

You do know that systemd is modular and every part of it does only one thing? Don’t see a real conflict with the Unix Philosphy

Yes and I have to do that on every device, and when it breaks I have to invest time to look it up, maybe have to wait for days before updated tools are available then install those on all the devices again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, for infinity. It is such a waste of time in my eyes, myself and my time is worth more then that.

And how does that help with any of the questions I asked? It may be a possibility but it is neither easy, nor comfortable, and it takes way more time to keep that up to date then it is worth. It may be great for you, maybe you are young or alone or have for whatever reason else time to waste on that. I pay and have it work on every device without any further work or time investment. It just works!

And how do I install uBlock origin into my living room television? How into the YouTube app on my Chromecast? Sure I could use Firefox on that but that will break any chance of sending YouTube videos from a phone to the Chromecast, so not really a valid option. How into the PS5? How install it into any kind of mobile apple device? How into all kinds of mobile YouTube music applications? Yes, it is easy when the only way to consume YouTube is via Webbrowser and even that gets more and more complicated whenever google changes something to block ad blockers.

I pay for that, because YouTube and YouTube Music is the main source of media for me And my family and I have no issue with paying for a service that I use a lot. And paying for that is so much easier then investing huge amounts of time into searching for and maintaining alternative Players and Tools for all the different devices where I (and my family) consume YouTube and YouTube Music. My limited time is more valuable for me then the price for the service.

Sounds like you want savapage https://www.savapage.org/

It by default runs on its own port but that is easy fixable with a reverse proxy.

It should be part of Lutris since 5.17 Not sure if or how it works with flatpack though, should you use that.

As far as I understood this is due to preferring ULWGL for proton/wine in lutris now.

That is a very PC centric view on modding, not everybody plays on PC. The official mod platforms are the only possible way to play mods on (not jail broken) consoles.
