Ok, this is a weird question, I know. But here's the thing: sometimes, I want to play a game, and I don't feel like getting out my computer and setting up with mouse and everything. I can play on my phone, but the screen is small and my eyes aren't getting any younger. Besides, fat sausage fingers.

So I thought, wait a minute, I have a perfectly functional big screen in my living room, and it even has a computer of sorts plugged in into it, a Steam Deck. So, what if I could connect to, say, Fox, from the Steam Deck and play using a controller?

So my question: is there a go client for a server that has people in it (ideally Fox, but nothing below Pandanet levels, I don't want to wait f

Hello. I'm looking for advice on what Caldav server to use. My end goal is to replace Google Calendar. As part of this, I need a Caldav server that supports my workflow, and that includes heavy use of per-event colors. I understand this is supported by RFC 7986. I tried the Caldav server included in Owncloud, but that doesn't seem to support it, sadly, so I'm looking for other options.

While I'm currently using Owncloud, I'm not 100% opposed to migrating to Nextcloud if that would solve this use case, but before going through that hassle I would like confirmation that it works.

Otherwise, if I'll still need a different Caldav server, I'd rather not go through the migration process since it

What books are there where the US is presented as the bad guys?

I'm not looking for dystopian stuff like the theocracy in The Handmaid's Tale, or the one in the first chapters of the Bobiverse. I'm also not looking for metaphors like Star Wars or A Planet For Rent, or even very close and obvious parallels like The Dispossessed. I'm looking for works where the current US, as it exists today, is seen as bad.

Examples:

  • The Merchant Princes, and in particular the Empire Games trilogy. Yes, technically not the same US, but the brutal US policies are not an invention of the book, they're just shown.
  • The Execution Channel, another that is technically an alternate history, but where essentiall

Hi guys. It's almost bed time here and I was wondering if you had any tips to keep training while I sleep. I put some go streamers on the tv but since I normally sleep with my eyes closed it doesn't seem to work.

What do you do to ensure you don't lose strength while sleeping?

Please help, I haven't sleep in months.

Hello. I'm looking to buy a cutter to basically do some tokens for boardgames. My target material is gray cardboard, 1mm or 2mm (preferred 2, but I can live with 1 if that's the only thing I'll be able to do), with sticker paper on top. Of course if I had the machine I'd use it for other stuff too, but that's basically the use case I'm using to justify the expense to myself. I'm wondering if it will work or if that's too thick/hard for these machines.

Thanks!

Hello. Let me tell you the origin of this question. Somewhere on twitter a while ago I said that North Korea is basically a monarchy. Somebody told me wait, it isn't, it's just a dictatorship. Yes, I said, but hereditary, which is basically a monarchy. Well, they said, but that's not the same thing, there isn't a legal basis for that heredity. Ok, I replied, then I guess the question is was the Roman Empire a monarchy? And they said I don't know, was it?

So basically that's the thing: was the (early) Roman Empire a monarchy? Yes, power was concentrated on an individual, and that power was inherited from father to (adopted) son. But is that enough to define a monarchy? What even is a mona

Hello.

I'm trying to enter some text and I'm having an issue with the line heights. For some weird reason, the separation between the first and second line is fine, but any lines after that are separated as if they had an extra line in the middle.

Changing the line height doesn't help (the spacing after the first line still behaves as if there were an extra blank line there). If I use the text tool to edit the text directly on the text frame (as opposed as in the text properties tab) I can position the cursor in that "phantom" blank line, but if I

Here's the situation: I made a small container for some game pieces, and I want to make a cover for it.

My container looks like this. It's four round stacks, with some holes on the sides to be able to grab the pieces. I would like to make a cover for it, so when stored in the game box it keeps the pieces inside.

My thinking is that I should be able to project the whole shape into a 2d view, then extrude the resulting sketch, and use thickness on it. However, when I do the Shape 2D view to turn into a sketch, the resulting projection has all the lines.

Is there a way to create only the outline?

Alternatively, is there

Hello. Today I got an sms message with a verification code, and then a WhatsApp message from a Panama number asking for the verification code. Of course I didn't send it, but instead started talking to the guy. Guy told me that he wanted the old groups, apparently for selling them. He told me to give him the old groups or he would deactivate my WhatsApp account. I told him that I didn't have any old enough groups, and that also I wouldn't give him anything even if I did. Next thing I know, I get locked out of my WhatsApp account and can't log in again, it tells me to wait 12 hours.

So ok, I can wait 12 hours. It's night already, I can try tomorrow morning. But how can I prevent this from h

Hello. I'm teaching my daughter go. We've playing around with atari go for a while, and I've recently introduced her to the old interactive way to go tutorial. She had a lot of fun doing the problems, and I read the texts (she's six, just starting reading, and doesn't speak English anyway, so I let her worry about just the go part).

But today I had a good breakthrough. I found this small android app called Baduk Pop. Cute stones and board and lots of really simple problems. She was hooked. And she was clearly learning. We had talked about two eyes, but never got to dead shapes. After a couple dozen problems she basically recognizes them. No word for it, but she knows where to play to make/p
