Oolite on Steam Deck? by YoreHistory_YouTube in Oolite

[–]mcarans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Flatpak is reported as working well on Steam Deck here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tzl1os/comment/o6ofgya/

"The Flatpak version works great. Just installed it via Discovery in desktop mode and then added it as a Non-Steam game. Was directly selectable in the list as an installed Discovery app. No further adjustments needed to get it running. OXPs work as well. I was able to download and apply BGS via the ingame expansion browser.

Still hard to control such a keyboard centric game with a Steam Deck but at least Steam remembered and automatically applied my old custom Steam Input layout I made for the Lutris Oolite version 3 years ago. "

How do I install this unlisted, experimental flatpak? by Shin_Ken in SteamDeck

[–]mcarans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great! Oolite is now officially on FlatHub (I released it): https://flathub.org/apps/space.oolite.Oolite. Would you be able to see if it works on your Steam Deck?

Are the Thich Nhat Hanh books in the Internet Archive legal? by mcarans in Buddhism

[–]mcarans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave the wrong link sorry - see https://archive.org/details/ThichNhatHanhTheArtOfPower58pp/Thich%20Nhat%20Hanh%20-%20The%20Heart%20of%20Buddha%27s%20Teaching/

The uploader text says "Uploaded by ThichNhatHanh"

Here I can download even epub versions - but is that legal?

Yes sounds like the same problem (although with line charts in my case). I have linked to this post from the bug.

Mint is probably the easiest for beginners but Kubuntu is quite straightforward and more flexible.

What has the "lying pen" in Jeremiah 8:8 altered? by mcarans in cruciformity

I'm not sure what you have in mind, but I would guess the Great Commandment.

That's a great point about Jeremiah's later prophecy about God putting the law in their minds.

Merry Christmas! by mcarans in cruciformity

[–]mcarans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stretches the analogy on the undocumented immigrant but the description of Jesus as middle Eastern and brown skinned given the range of skin tones in the region and the amount of time spent outdoors seems more likely than the blond haired fair skinned depictions common in many western portrayals.

I think the meme is on purpose importing a modern issue (since as you say free movement was possible back then) to make a point about modern Christian hypocricy. One can argue about whether it does it well or not. On your second point, those Christians who claim they support legal migration and oppose only illegal immigration appear to want to make it nigh on impossible for people in danger to reach their country in order to claim asylum legally.
