Granted it's just the viewpoint of one of the prisoners but it's the one I found most intriguing. To quote the movie: "Nobody knew what it was, nobody cared...there is no conspiracy, nobody is in charge. It's a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan...somebody might have known sometime before they got fired, voted out, or sold it...this is an accident, a forgotten perpetual public works project. You think anybody asked questions? All they want is a clear conscience and a fat paycheck."

The Cube.
Most people saw it as an average horror movie where a bunch of people try to get out of a giant torture box. But there was a pivotal scene that stuck with me where one of the prisoners realizes he helped build part of it. The whole thing wasn't some intentional torture device but just a bunch of people doing their day jobs that were lost in a bureaucracy not ever questioning what their work was creating.
A stark reflection of society and the systems we create and the dangers of not ever looking at the bigger picture.

Of course they proceeded to shit all over this idea in Cube2 where it ended up being just another evil government experiment.

I'm not a musician but I recently stumbled across https://linuxmusicians.com/ which seems like a decent forum for people that are determined to make it work.

Have you tried Deadlock? Coming from Dota2 I found it pretty easy to get into even though it is FPS.

Convenience.
Sadly it is something far fewer people are willing to give up than any of the above.

I got invited to a party once. Well, a search party. But then they cancelled it when they found out it was for my dog. They figured it was in a better place wherever it ran off to.

They (probably) aren't trying to be rude, they are just happy to have an answer they can give quickly and appear helpful. They are oblivious to existing conversations or the communication processing talents of others.

If it's just a matter of pulse selecting the wrong device I also had that issue and was able to work around it by adding a line to the end of my: /etc/pulse/default.pa
set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_0e_00.3 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
You can get the correct name for your device with: pacmd list-sinks

https://tildes.net/ is still quite active and while the interface is similar to old reddit the focus is more on discussions than sharing links.

Clearly they thought the numbers were imaginary so they colored them both red AND blue which of course makes green. Is it time for recess yet?

Steam is way better now at weeding those out of the stats that show on the store page. Vote brigading still happens of course but a couple minutes of skimming top reviews will make that obvious.

 

This update for the native Linux game Valheim has been in testing for a month but is now fully released.

 

While the gameplay isn't for everyone I think the yearly TI production can be pretty fun to watch with how excited the crowd and casters can get when the action happens. Valve has also done a good job keeping the native Linux client up to date, though the change to SDL3 had a few bumps Icculus was able to help get most of those sorted out now.

 

If this is the same quality Quern was I can't wait to play it!
