“Complicated descriptions”? Is there a lamp on one side, or a closet door? Just use that as a frame of reference, I wouldn’t call that a complicated description. Or, if you usually have the same bigs-poon, little-spoon orientation, you can describe which shoulder you’re laying on. But I still think using features of the room is the simplest way. “I’m laying on the closet side.”

I know, I just wanted to give an access denied for the lolz (especially since I see that message basically every time I run pacman, forgetting to either sudo or run in root shell >.>;; )

error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.

Do you love me? Could you learn to love me?

Or maybe it’s “I love my sibling and don’t want to see them slip further into this conspiracy rabbit hole. How can I offer them similar content that isn’t as harmful?”

Other comment made great points on MintOS and PopOS for beginning a Linux journey.

SteamOS isn’t available for a full PC release (that I am aware of), but Bazzite was made to be a full-distro alternative to SteamOS. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but it has good reception from what I see.

Linux Mint is very easy to pick up, though, and I highly recommend for someone coming from Windows. It is fully functional through GUI and has several different flavors for the desktop environment. I’m a fan of KDE, but Cinnemon was also very nice. A version of KDE Plasma is what SteamOS 3.0 uses. I’m not as big of a fan of GNOME, but a lot of people love it as a mor elegant, modern desktop environment.

It’s amazing how someone can just tell when it’s going to be a Technology Connections video. Such great videos on so many different topics!

It’s the dual-edged sword of making it more accessible now with a workaround, which disincentives developers from building with actual support in mind.

So Proton is allowing more people to switch to Linux for gaming, which is good! However, instead of putting pressure on developers to make Linux versions of games and software they can just use Proton, so they will continue making only Windows versions, which is bad.

Definitely Hot Fuzz! Every single throw-away line early in the film is a callback later on. It’s incredible trying to notice them all!

Isn’t that more a social issue? Getting drunk and becoming violent isn’t a cause-effect. Someone that becomes abusive after drinking would be abusive without alcohol as well, that’s just a trigger for the behavior.

This is closer to an actual answer, though. It’s easier to remove drinking than to change drinking culture. It just didn’t work the last time they tried to ban alcohol (in the USA), so if behavior around drinking is the issue that is trying to be solved there are probably other ways to go about it.

Ok, but there are plenty of other items that that do that as well. It’s not a call out of “all drugs, including tobacco and alcohol”. It’s not a callout of microplastics. So there’s something specific to alcohol.

Rather than downvoting, I’d like to ask why you think all forms of alcohol for consumption should be illegal

Praise be to the Omnissiah!

I mean, you’re right. I don’t agree with the emulators being taken down, it sucks, but it’s hardly surprising that Nintendo, a company known for strictly protecting their copyrights, would go after these projects.

Hopefully other people and projects can pick up the reins, but should always be ready and prepared for another strike like this.

Upvote for All Guardsman Party. There’s apparently a video series/narration of it as well, though I haven’t watched it myself. Reread it 3 times now, though!

I don’t know of any single site where different game guides are aggregated, at least not the same way they were in the 90s/00s. Most games tend to use their own Wiki/Fandom sites for that sort of thing now.

Gamefaqs might be worth checking out, as well.

You’ll probably end up needing to print several different pages and aggregate them together to get a single, offline guide for a game, but certainly possible with prep time.

I’ve not had bubble tea, so can’t comment Typically matcha powder is used in hot tea (with hot but not boiling water)

I had never heard of matcha tea with milk before, only matcha with water. I guess making a latte with matcha tea would use milk in it, but you are absolutely fine just using hot water, as that is the traditional method.

Cold brewing, though, I have no idea for.

It wouldn’t be the most ideal, but you can dual-boot with an external drive. There are external SSDs that are meant for running programs/games off of them, and would look into those for best performance.

Alternatively, if you have plenty of unused storage on the laptop you can partition some of that for use, but a second drive is usually preferred.

Get a cheap 1-2 tb drive and start dual-booting with whatever system you’re running now. This way you can play around with different distros while retaining your current settup to fall back on!
