Yup. I've volunteered at a couple thrift stores, and we'd just toss stuff like this.

I don't think it's offered as as an exe as it's server-client model where you access it through a web-browser. If you want to just run it on your laptop, it can be both your server and client. The installation instructions are here, and there are also instructions for Docker on the left-side menu.

no mystery blobs.

Maybe they're not "mystery blobs," but I think you still need binary blobs with MediaTek chips. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though!

Both qutebrowser and Falkon run on the QtWebEngine, essentially Chromium.

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Of course there's other browsers! There's Opera...uhh that now based on Chromium. Oh, how about Edge...that's Chromium based too now. I know, there's the KHTML engine!...no, that's been officially discontinued.

Unironically, yes. As part of Reddit's deal with Google, they're supposed to get access to some of Google's search tools.

There was a discussion a couple of years ago around gasoline taxes and how they are supposed to pay for roadway maintenance.

I just want to point out, even if they're supposed to, gas taxes do not pay for roadway maintenance, not by a long shot

Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead.

Literally, the FIRST sentence of the article is talking about someone who's been involved with Voyager I from the start. Yes, the project has outlasted many of it's original engineers, but to say, "Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead," for a major mission that launched 46 years ago is obviously untrue.

Bad analogy. If you were doing what you said, but instead of taking notes, you were using a camera, you'd quickly get a visit from the UW Special Constable Service who'd probably transfer you to WRPS.

EDIT: Even if you were just taking notes on people, it's possible you'd experience the same process.

From the article:

Google Wallet, a pioneer in the NFC payments space...eventually got combined with Android Pay and rebranded to Google Pay, only to become Google Wallet again for most users, even though Google Pay stuck around in the US, India, and Singapore.

EDIT: And I assume you don't live in the US, India, or Singapore.

Have you heard of StreetComplete on Android?

That's not modern games, that's brand new hardware. It's a good suggestion, but different than what you originally said.
