Chocolatey: babun
https://babun.github.io/

A customized Cygwin for Linux on Windows: Zsh, Bash, Git and other Linux software, all pre-configured.

Can install other software provided by Cygwin.

  • 712, 774 – apparently abandoned, last updated 2016-05-02.

    • The main contributors are still alive, I see them posting on their Twitters.
    • I’ll likely move to pure Cygwin, and get my common applications installed. That should be easy, but who the hell knows with Linux.

My configuration specific to Babun is currently scattered throughout my git repository, just findinall Babun (using my findinall() )

Something about a powerful thing that was taken, and a conspiracy. I guess.

Terrible. Simply terrible. A bad setup to the universe, a whole lot of shit pulled out of thin air.. generally bad writing and a bad mood. Bad pacing. Everything about it is terrible. Do not watch.

  • Abandoned: The company seems to have disowned this movie.

was https://www.doogee.cc/detail/x-series/111/

A very inexpensive yet capable phone.

At a glance, it seems okay. Android and every app I’ve seen have many UI flaws, but that’s not the X20’s fault.

After a week of use, I have to say this is a fantastic phone. It’s the perfect beginner’s smartphone and there’s nothing I’ve done that’s been limited in any way whatsoever by its specifications. I have not run out of storage or memory.. not even close. Do note that I haven’t played any games, and I probably never will.

I am really ticked that it doesn’t have OTG support, so I can’t use the microSD for anything but charging. Powering off, pulling my charging dongle out, removing the half-case, removing the battery cover, removing the battery and moving the SD card back and forth is an awful, awful, way for me to edit files.

  • The minimum volume is way too loud.

  • The bottom microUSB port works for a USB key.
  • Warning: See BLU Products for drama surrounding a company that deals with Doogee products. It has spyware.
  • Warning: Has BeautySnap – (Android spyware) (which might be uninstallable)
  • Abandoned – As of 2023-02-20 it was never updated in all this time.

A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.

I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

  • From the makers of Gratuitous Space Battles.
  • The scroll wheel to zoom in/out is backwards.

View/control startup applications.

Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.

Services are not supported.

Displays the world quests and their rewards.

Awkward and poorly laid-out. Usable enough, it says on the box.

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.

It’s prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It’s nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.

Overall I’d say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.
