I have two, KDE on my laptop that runs Arch (btw) which is my tinkering machine, and GNOME/Pop!_OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use and I'm not allowed to break lol.

Although I might switch the desktop to COSMIC at some point if it doesn't cause too much trouble.

Yeah like honestly, let them go broke. If they were doing anything useful, a small local business will probably pop up to fill the gap. And if they aren't, then it doesn't matter. And most of these big companies are dodging taxes anyway so it's not like we lose out there.

It seems like a lot of people complain about Doctor Who not really having any canon or rules, and contradicting itself constantly (sometimes within the same episode) but I don't think that's necessarily a failing because it's not trying to do that at all.

The trend these days is for a lot of shows, especially sci-fi ones, to be sort of 'internet-proof' and be designed to withstand the people who go through frame-by-frame looking for little errors and contradictions to pull apart, and Doctor Who ignores that completely and just aims to be big fun campy dramatic nonsense, which I think it mostly succeeds at. I think the only cardinal sin for that show is don't be boring, which IMO it pulls off more often than not.

And it's fine to not like that of course, but I don't get it when people try to call the show out for not doing something it's never really tried to do, at least since it came back in 2005.

I thought the general broad strokes of what happened were fine (IE with

spoiler

Daenerys being the big villain and stuff

), I just thought it was rushed and done in a kind of sloppy way. I really didn't like

spoiler

Bran becoming the king though

'cause I fucking hate that character lol.

Yeah I'm similar, I'm in for about $45 or so from the Kickstarter. I wrote it off and stopped paying attention about 6-7 years ago (it was already pretty far behind then!) but I figure, I've wasted more money on dumber stuff before, and if an actual game ever does happen to materialise then I'll give it a look.

To clean them, simply attach a big brush to the underside of the trains. 👍

If it helps at all, I'm typing this on a Lenovo Ideadpad 5 that has a Ryzen 5 and 8gb that's running up-to-date Arch (btw) and KDE perfectly well with no troubles at all. I haven't owned the Yoga Slim specifically, but I've had a few Lenovos over the years and mine have all run various forms of Linux quite happily.

Our local library is really cool, it has a recording studio, a makerspace with 3D printers, and a service where you can borrow tools. You can even borrow a radon detector!

I'm still using my old Pixel 4a because I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack lol

It's harder to measure of course, but I wonder how that compares to the amount of sales they lose from people who just don't bother buying the game when they find out it has Denuvo? I know I recently lost all interest in two games (Civ VII and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II) when I found out they were launching with Denuvo and I assume I'm not the only person who does that.

Currently I use Borg Backup with Vorta as a GUI. I don't really do anything automated/scheduled, I just back it up manually to an external SSD every few days or so. I pretty much do my whole /home folder, except for a couple of subfolders that aren't really necessary (and Videos, which I back up separately.)

I do eventually want to upgrade to a NAS, but I'm waiting until we move to start setting that up. Also I don't really have an off-site plan yet which I know is bad, but I need to figure that out.

Splitters!
