They've also never bothered to support streaming audio on Linux. Fwiw, if anyone reading this uses discord on Linux and has hit this, please add a comment/vote for this ticket. It already has over 3x the votes of the next highest Voice & Video feedback ticket, but maybe we just need it to compete with the 10k+ vote tickets.

Or create a viable alternative to discord, that would also be fine with me.

Edit: link to the issue

Ah dang. I think it really is a masterpiece. I think there's a bit of a slump in s2, but by the time s3 gets underway, it's easily up there with No Country for Old Men and Fargo, imo. All the characters are well written, intelligent, trying to out smart each other, but it never feels like they're spoon feeding the audience to keep up. Great tension and the acting is 🤌. And it's only 5 seasons, doesn't feel dragged out.

But if you're able to avoid constantly consuming entertainment in this day and age, more power to ya! 😁

Can't disagree with any of that. That was a good place to stop with GoT, I also made it about 2 ep into book of fett before not caring, and I haven't watched any marvel movies since Thanos.

I think there are still some good shows worth watching, but 90% is crap. The best show I've watched recently is probably Barry. 4 quick seasons, 30m episodes, and the series has ended so no risk of a GoT situation.

Did you ever watch Breaking Bad?

Do you have any examples of shows or movies that you did find engaging before you stopped?

The new terminology will be never ending. The unix philosophy is to make small tools that do one thing really well (vs a single large monolithic OS that does a ton of things half decently), so every single component in and around Linux has a name, its own set of maintainers, and pages of documentation you could spend hours to months learning (depending on the tool).

On top of that, the open source ecosystem isn't centralized, there's no CEO telling everyone the one way to do things. Instead, everyone is free to build whatever they want according to whatever design patterns they choose. This is a blessing and a curse. There are packages that work nicely with other packages, and there are many you probably shouldn't waste your time with.

All this is to say, I recommend always having a goal in mind when digging into Linux, and get good at skimming new terminology that you think is relevant to your goal. Be able to quickly understand what something does and how it's used, but avoid going down the rabbit hole for every little thing.

That's not to say you shouldn't satisfy your curiosity, just know that you can be overwhelmed quickly if you don't know how to tune out the noise. Being goal oriented helps me stay on task as I learn.

Good luck!

In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.

Man, such great writing. Yeah, definitely going to have to reread it.

I should re-read it, but the impression I got was that Oz was the epitome of this thread's topic. A real "ends justify the means" villain, where his end goal is to save the world from itself by giving it a common enemy to vanquish. And he does it. In terms of the classical trolley problem, he pulled the lever to kill 1 instead of doing nothing and allowing 5 to die. Am I misremembering?

More like, the older the character gets, the more they update his backstory to be something the audience can sympathize with. Because a villain for villain's sake gets old fast.

I think since the stats are based on web statistics, the steam deck probably won't be counted unless the user switches to desktop mode and browses the web.

Though it's possible the steam client accessing the steam store might count.

I'm not familiar, is Nuance the new hip distro I should be using?

This is what Nintendo wants people to think. They want you to think hacking your own hardware is synonymous with copyright infringement. And it's categorically not. Just like collecting knives isn't synonymous with committing murder.

I agree that Yuzu was toeing a fine line when they should have instead steered far clear of it and only supported playback of homebrew apps without encryption, but that's not to say they did anything ethically wrong. Backing up your own files shouldn't be a right we lose just because of criminals walking around "wink wink, nudge nudging" each other. Punish the murderers, not the knife sellers.
