GTAV. I don't care for the story or the shooting aspect, I just love to drive or walk around. I can't do either irl, so I love it when games give me the option.
Other than that, if you want CLI, while it's not a podcast program, yt-dlp is pretty good for downloading them. You can filter by title, date, etc. It's got a bit of a learning curve, tho.
Kind of wish they'd do a cross platform game (that you can play at home). I don't want to buy a Switch just for Pokemon.
Edit: and yes, I'm aware of which community this is, but after GBA I never had much luck with these games, and haven't kept up. Not sure how functional they are (especially on Linux).
Oooh, I didn't watch that one. When it came out, I assumed it was only about Agatha. I didn't dislike the character, but Endgame messed with my enthusiasm for a while. And over the years I totally forgot about Agatha All Along. I'll have to watch it.
It really depends on the content, and that's the only thing I can agree with. If one is careful to "train" the algorithm to show certain things, it can be a way to pass the time.
I usually watch them at noon while I wait for my food, because anything else requires too much focus. My eyesight is not as good as it was to read the news on the phone, so just watching a bunch of funny cats jumping around is good enough.
I'm no one important, not a rocket scientist or quantum physics professor, so I don't need to watch dissertations on mathematics. If I'm dumb, the world keeps spinning. I think that's why a lot of adults have started watching those clips as well, we just don't take ourselves so seriously anymore.
That's good to know. I've been thinking of getting a trackpad, but I wasn't sure if it would work with Wayland, if controlling windows, sending keys depending on the window, etc. would work as it does with X11. I might get one, after all.
Well, I'll set my expectations to -1 and wait. I'm not against reboots and remakes, when they are done well.
My only concern is that if the show is done like modern ones, it'll be unwatchable. I don't want to watch 6 episodes and then wait 5 years for 3 more episodes. The original show had over 20 episodes per season, per year.
I agree with you. I don't hate math, I just hate the way I was taught it. I'm not diagnosed, but I've long suspected I have ADHD or autism, and so anything that isn't interesting to me I tend to just obliterate from my mind. If I had been taught math through video games or game programming, or something like that, I would have paid more attention.
It happened again during college, with a professor just shouting his lessons, and not really giving any practical examples. I almost failed, until I went on YouTube and found many professors giving very good explanations, with visuals and such (this was almost 15 years ago, when YT was less algorithmic; even the comments were helpful).
The only thing I actually liked from Cosmic is the ability to remove rounded corners, which is something I hate that we're forced to endure in every single UI at every single level. Even KDE seems to lack that, even though they give a few options for the UI. (Edit: I mean, as far as I saw on Plasma, KDE doesn't have the option by default. Maybe it can be added or something, but I didn't see anything in the settings to indicate I can remove rounded corners.)
Tiling is just not to my liking, but maybe it's because I don't use huge monitors, so every time I tile a window everything gets bunched up or cut off. Maybe I'll think differently when I move from 24" to 27", who knows. I ended up disabling tiling and stacking in Pop! OS 22 and just use vanilla GNOME snapping when needed. Stacking also adds a horrible tab UI that can't be edited (say, make it vertical instead of horizontal), as far as I know.
So, to me, the DE just doesn't add anything different or extremely necessary. But of course, I can only speak for myself, my tastes. I'm generally very picky and an outlier in most things, so I'm not surprised other people find those things to be essential.
I feel like it was a huge mistake on their part to try to make a whole DE rather than work on a bunch of GNOME extensions, but now they're trapped and can only keep working on it. I don't dislike Cosmic, but I just keep asking "why?" every time I look at it.
Three-year gaps between seasons risk losing cultural relevance in an entertainment landscape where new shows launch weekly.
Imagine if something like Lost or GoT had season gaps from the beginning. It already was a risk during the downtime between the yearly seasons, to lose viewers. And before that we had 20-24 episodes per season.
It all coincides with the strikes, so I wonder if this is a way for the execs to "strike back", so to speak.
I never understood how to install any of it. In the time it'd take me to understand any of it, I'd have found 200 torrents. 😂
It kind of reminds me of my attempts at automating a simple, repetitive task on the desktop, and in the middle of it I'm like "fuck this!" and just end up doing it manually, and faster.
I've been on Mastodon for a few years, and unfortunately all of this stuff is pretty common. It varies with the trending tragedy of the moment, but it's all the same. Gaza, some African country, LGBT+ people, and so on.
It's impossible for me to tell which one is legit and which one is a scam, so I took the decision not to boost or spread anything like that. It's unfair, but unknowingly boosting a scam and having someone else falling for it would be even more damaging to their causes, in my opinion.
Thank you!
