No reason it wouldn’t as far as I know, assuming your hardware is compatible.

My answer is the original BioShock, just like OP. The story, setting, soundtrack, and overall vibe made a lasting impact on me.

The Wikipedia article has these relevant quotes from the court opinion:

The question is thus whether the Betamax is capable of commercially significant noninfringing uses ... one potential use of the Betamax plainly satisfies this standard, however it is understood: private, noncommercial time-shifting in the home.[7] [...] [W]hen one considers the nature of a televised copyrighted audiovisual work... and that time-shifting merely enables a viewer to see such a work which he had been invited to witness in its entirety free of charge, the fact... that the entire work is reproduced... does not have its ordinary effect of militating against a finding of fair use.[8]

In 1984, this issue made it all the way to the US Supreme Court, which ultimately decided that recording television to tape using a VCR for personal use (“timeshifting”) is fair use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.

Alpine.

I’m a longtime Arch user, and would have preferred to use Arch on a particular system, but didn’t want to deal with needing to babysit ZFS packages from AUR.

So, I decided to use Alpine after never having tried it before, and ended up sticking with it. Like Arch, it’s both lightweight and has a capable/sensible package manager, which are the main things that are important to me.

I haven’t had any growing pains from Alpine’s use of busybox/musl/openrc, things mostly Just Work!

I self-host https://miniflux.app/ and it has been working great for my needs.

Endless Sky is open-source, completely free, and might be what you’re looking for!

I’m curious if anyone dailies Alpine for desktop use. (I don’t.)

From Ricky Mondello, who works on passkeys at Apple: “If it’s device-bound, it’s not a passkey”:

Q-Tips (cotton swabs.) Generics seem universally worse.

Nightly automated runs of the chkbit script is the only thing that alerted me to the fact that either the SSD or storage controller in my Mac Mini had issues and was corrupting data. I was very thankful to have already had the automation in place for that exact scenario.

It theoretically shouldn’t be necessary for filesystems that have built-in checksumming.

To my eyes, post comments in Bean are drawn with a fair bit of extra whitespace/padding, which increases the amount of scrolling required when reading comments. It would be great if Bean had a "compact" display setting for comments that reduced the padding and packed comments together more densely.

Thank you for considering my request and for all of the work you do on Bean!
