Yeah it’s great. Bottles is the best tool imo, lutris almost feels like a relic from the early days of Linux gaming, and non-steam games in steam don’t always work exactly how you might want, and aren’t so much fun. There is also heroic games launcher now which lets you add custom games and is also a very nice option if you don’t use gnome (bottles is a gnome style app so it may look out of place elsewhere). I would put some thorough research into VPNs if you torrent though because the one I used on my Linux box (expressvpn) leaked my ip at some point and I got a letter in the mail.

I read the title, I just don’t. Know what that is. I assumed it was short YouTube videos, and hence the same algorithm information would apply.

What’s a YouTube short?

What specific thing? The entirety of YouTube? Just the algorithm? Either way their algorithm may not be designed to do promote videos you want to watch, in reality it’s most likely designed to promote stuff that will draw them the most ad revenue and not promote really good stuff all the time. If your content is always great people will expect that and there will never be a great video, on the contrary if there is a great video among mediocre ones at best people will engage more in those (especially if they are longer and even if they have more ads), and additionally will engage more in your platform. This means that even if they aren’t making as much per video they are still making more in the long-term. And that’s really all they care about, your experience means nothing to them.

I can’t believe x is not gonna give it to you. This is just unbelievable.

The algorithm seems like it is optimized for profit, not for actually being a good platform.

I thought that’s what the birds where for. These drones must be to throw us off because we were getting to close to the truth. Spread the word “BIRDS ARENT REAL”

Fractional scaling isn’t available and neither is per-monitor refresh rate. Windows drag at a different refresh rate than the monitor and it is jarring. Additionally everything is really small on my big monitor. As soon as Wayland support is added I’m going to install mint, but for now I just can’t stand those downsides.

Mint is so nice! I would really like to use it but I just can’t deal with using xorg as I have multiple monitors and they are different sizes.

Will that maintenance be carried out when needed for over a thousand years?

Zero chance this is still around in a thousand years. Just too damn long. He’ll I’d be surprised if any of our current societies or cultures still exist then.

It’s not only much cheaper to not have a caffeine addiction, but it also I think makes me much more present as I don’t need caffeine in the mornings to function, and I get enough sleep. Just seems better to me.

Absolutely a good thing. As someone who drank a lot of energy drinks in high school, it was not worth it.

I wouldn’t even open 22 and would switch that out for a 1024+ port

I meant to say that still exists. My bad that I left that out.

Because the US is historically the most powerful long-lasting nation. The ussr was competitive but they fell, and china is a very very new power. It also doesn’t matter if it was American literature because the Cold War and its associated propaganda was of interest to most countries as their fate was tied to neither doing anything as well.

Why would you believe Cold War literature? Propaganda influenced everything. And also the UK would not be the main target if it is America pretty much directly engaging Russia as this suggests. They need those defense dollars to quit coming towards them. And america is its own continent, if Russia was to launch all they could at America and America just sat there and took it it might end life on North America and permanently ruin South America due to fallout, but the rest of the world would survive although it would never be the same.

While it is shooting back, it’s also the end of the world. It’s very possible the people would not fire back and instead just let America die for the sake of the world. The propaganda makes them feel like they are “just shooting back” and they will.

Well it would be hard to assassinate him twice

Sure so far, but a direct order from Putin directly after killing the last man who crossed him? If it came to it he would launch everything he’s got because anything not launched gets destroyed by mutually assured destruction, so every single Russian officer would have to refuse to launch. And it only takes one launch to be devastating and trigger a complete reaction from the US as our anti-Russian propaganda is still strong.
