It's only a link to a YouTube video because it's the only place it exists. Which should raise some serious warning bells. No Liberal or Conservative news outlet has anything about this.

I'm not saying it's fake, but it's only on this one site, by this one person, who supposedly has a huge history in news media who wouldn't have a hard time getting it into any other news channel (even ones that could link to her) seems... Odd. But hey, don't forget to join her Patreon page.

WotC never cared much about the novel and stories part of their IPs. You could tell from the MtG lore that it always was a distant second.

Forgotten Realms was amazing in the 80s and 90s, but that was when it wasn't bought out by WotC and still a part of TSR. Now that it's part of WitC (Hasbro), all of the lore is not cared much about in all their IPs.

Because emulation is legal. It shouldn't have to be hidden. This was taken through the courts in 2001 with the Sony vs Bleem lawsuit.

What appears to be happening is Nintendo is abusing its power and money to make threats of legal action that these groups just can't afford to fight, even though they haven't done anything illegal. It should be coming as a surprise that Nintendo is coming for them, because this is completely legal, and not some fan game using Nintendo IP (which is what they normally shut down).

For everyone curious, here is the source of the graph.

And how long did you use other non-Arch Linux distros before then?

Arch maybe a great distro, but it's not a beginner friendly one.

And these are the same line of devices in the article, just with different names. Exactly the same thing, only difference is who the makers are.

Its not a killing, its a rebranding. Its just being called a killed device because its Google.

Its like claiming Apple is killing iPhones every few years.

"Apple killing iPhone S" in 2018.

"Apple killing iPhone C" in 2014, another for the Apple graveyard.

"Apple killing iPhone Plus" in 2018, another for the Apple graveyard.

"Apple killing the iPhone SE" in 2023, another for the Apple graveyard.

"Apple killing iPhone Mini" in 2022, another for the Apple graveyard.

This doesn't even include other devices like the G models, Unibodies, and Retina iMac models. Just look at that Apple graveyard growing and so quickly...

This could also be claimed on things from most other large, older tech companies. But the reality is, a rebranding is not a killing of the device. This is just clickbait.

Could be good if they are willing to try, and you choose a distro that closely resembles Windows. And they aren't purchasing new hardware and their current Windows OS isn't being supported anymore.

Big fan of if it works, why change it?

Also, don't promise them that it'll be perfect and magical, set their expectations to be realistic. (This is where typically people convinced to buy a Mac quickly learn to hate it. They are promised it will never have problems and then they have one problem after another, leading to hating it and tired of having to message for more help. And a lot of people I've found that sing blind praises for anything are the same ones quick to blame and down talk users when things goes wrong)

First challenge would be trying to convince them to spend a ton of money for a computer that they only use to do basic web surfing.

Then there is the fact that MacOS is different than Windows in look and feel, so a larger learning curve, all to do what they've always done before. People don't like change, and the bigger the change, the more the pushback.

And in my parents case, they have already talked to other parents who's kids convinced them to get a Mac. And heard all the complaints and regrets of those other parents for buying a Mac, and how it will be their first and last Mac. (My mother needed help buying a new laptop a few months ago, so I know about this).

Is it cheating to say Crypt of the Necrodancer?

Must move to the music's beat, and the music itself is by Danny Baranowsky (other works include the original PCl soundtracks for Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac)

Last time I tried it? Like freeze and be unresponsive on my phone for seconds at a time slow. (My phone doesn't lock up though, I can still go to the home screen, swipe to see notifications so it's not the phone locking up completely)
