    Pyra as a Music Player

    I have the impression, though, that the more people are talking about their preferred DE the less productive they are. (Is this a grammaticatically correct sentence? Please excuse my English if it isn't.)

    Gamescom, sensor upgrade and other nice news

    You better learn German quickly to prepare for ED conquering the world using the PYRA :-)

    Really cool modular and freedom-respecting computer

    The campaign has been gaining momentum the last days. Still needs much more laptop pledges, though.

    Pyra as a Music Player

    Wouldn't any M4 based solution have to go through the main OS to access mass storage, audio, and controls?

    Really cool modular and freedom-respecting computer

    I may have missed it, but I'm wondering what the MOQ for the laptop parts is. Probably larger than 83.

    RISC OS?

    Well an OS can be implemented in a way making it use more resources than needed for a given use case. E.g. the spyware in some popular OSs is probably not a core requirement of most users, but it still uses resources that could be spent elsewhere. IMO that qualifies as bloat. Abstraction layers...

    Gole1 - Interesting Cherry Trail device?

    I'm not sure that deserves such praise. It would at least have been interesting (and relatively easy) to test whether screen tearing that seems to be a common issue with intel's drivers is noticeable on this system (e.g. on a composited desktop, when playing a video or a OpenGL/Vulkan game).

    RISC OS?

    Isn't AROS around any longer? Or isn't it considered single user?

    Release smplayer2 / mplayer2

    I seem to remember that the QJackCtl pnd will install a libjack version to NAND that is not compatible with the rest of the system libraries (using a different compiler version), but I thought Canseco had fixed that.

    Appimage instead of pnd?

    What relevance has the age of an API in this context?

    Game theory: What does it mean for a game to be fun to lose.

    I haven't played it, but I thought Planescape Torment required repeates death?

    Replicant port to Pyra / Pandora ? (poll)

    Shashlik is (to a significant degree) native Android. Because ideals are jealous.

    Game theory: What does it mean for a game to be fun to lose.

    Fun to lose means that even losing rewards the player (e.g. with a cutscene or some interesting information) and doesn't force her to do something that isn't fun (e.g. by having saves or interesting levels with replay value). But all of this is highly subjective, I think.

    Replicant port to Pyra / Pandora ? (poll)

    I was under the impression that google's navigation sucked for all modes of transportation besides cars. Has that changed?

    Gamescom 2016

    According to various phoronix discussions (with links to kernel issues), intel drivers may very well be a problem even on recent kernels.

    Really cool modular and freedom-respecting computer

    Sorry for grave digging this branch of the discussion, but it might be illuminating that one of the major changes in V3 of the GPL is such a you're off the hook clause that is activated just by starting to comply with the license (any previous misbehaviour may still be the object of a lawsuit...
