What would be something homey but not presentable?
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
What would be something homey but not presentable?
I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that
Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby
Like the post says this isn’t my place it’s a really common meme and meme template. I’m looking for communities of people who live like this.
It’s kind of minimalist but without the stressed cleanliness and lack of all clutter
I feel like that’s 3/4 well furnished full spaces and the last quarter is people posting after getting divorced
It did help me find MaleSurvivingSpace which seems a bit more like what I was describing with people having more of just the essentials without clutter
It’s not an issue. Just a meme that’s common and demonstrates kind of what I’m after.
The person who owns that living room might just have gone after a really comfy chair over a couch which might be more typical for example. It feels kind of within the realm of minimalism and more focused on the utility of the space
Thanks but that’s still kind of on the fringe of what I’m looking for. I feel like that’s more about working within the confines of the van rather than living effectively.
Someone trying that might be stuck using a hotplate but they could still have a decent sized mattress and gaming setup for example if that makes sense. It seems more like living densely
Definitely annoying if you like to journal that kind of stuff. I’ve thought about putting a notebook next to my bed
The lack of interest in it even amongst tech communities and bridges (they can link Matrix servers and Discord servers) constantly being down has kept me from giving Matrix a second chance.
I think it was a Linux gaming community last time that got flooded with hate content after the bridge went down and the Matrix side was left to itself.
Reddit unfortunately. Every so often I’ll search for a topic online and in the related posts/communities section I will find an obscure one and just see what the top voted posts are
That made me smile. Thanks for posting!
I would say the answer to avoid any of this would be to use homebrew games but I don’t know if ones for harder systems to emulate (GameCube, PS2, etc) would be great for testing handheld emulators
I’m considering getting one for surfing the web on a secondary monitor. Nothing important is occurring but I asked this question for two reasons.
Plenty of people put some level of work into making their PC’s OS more secure using YouTube tutorials and tips but they may not think to update their BIOS for example
Do most motherboards receive long term support updates? I feel like I’ve only ever gotten a few updates for the ones I’ve used but maybe that was because I was buying older boards.
I feel like Google Maps is going to be the biggest hurdle. I mentioned in another comment but a minimalist launcher might help.
Beyond that you could always consider getting a case for the Nokia phone off of Ali Express or looking up feature phone operating systems. For example KiaOS is quite popular among feature phones and appears on some Nokia ones.
I looked for this and it sort of doesn’t exist. I need it for a technologically challenged family member who gets hopelessly confused by smart phones. I have had the idea of writing an Android dumbify app that runs in kiosk mode (i.e. there is no way to exit it) that just disables everything except phone calls, and keeps the phone keypad permanently on the screen, like an old fashioned phone with physical buttons. It’s on my infinite todo list.
A minimalist launcher is probably the easiest possible solution to that. Aster for example is available on F-Droid. The only issue I could see is it not having a lock function that would prevent them from accidentally entering some sort of edit mode.
I get the same reaction from my fellow Americans when i tell them I walk my groceries home so I’m not surprised
Nice to see the article mention the source port
I feel like he would continue trying even after his turn limit if he won
It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.
Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense
