So tired of this hyper-fake-news era that will only become hyper-hyper as AI slop engines become even more powerful and accessible.

Thanks for fact-checking and saving me a click 😌

I think the player is Brazilian and not a Yankee but I’m not that interested to click and learn more about this

You've got a back room and you're not using it as a cool-ass hackerspace?

I have NOT tried this but according to https://massgrave.dev/change_windows_edition you can change the windows edition. I would not try it without backing up my most important files, regardless. I don't use Windows so the opportunity for me to try it doesn't exist, but the option is good to keep in mind.

Bazzite works pretty well and the ublue ecosystem is pretty cool, but there are unfortunately sometimes "decision-making strategies" you must employ. As an example, say you want to install yt-dlp. What's the best path?

• rpm-ostree is not advised, such that you don't want to modify the core system, even though Fedora keeps yt-dlp up-to-date. So this would technically work fine.
• brew installs yt-dlp but also a bunch of other stuff. Notably, you get an entirely second copy of Python.
• Distrobox/toolbox works well, but now you have a whole OS container. Just for one command?
• PIP is yet another way to install it, but using a lot of pip can lead to an insane python dependency hell (and it seems that if you want a self-deployed application pipx is the play, but you'll have to set that up yourself)
• Manually downloading yt-dlp to avoid the drawbacks of the above, with the drawback of have to remember to update it yourself.

That said, I'm using Bazzite on my Steam Deck in particular because it allows me to have full disk encryption, which is mandatory for me because I use it as a generic computer and not just as a steam appliance. And also because with Bazzite the maintenance I personally have to do for it is about as minimal as SteamOS.

Proprietary software is a complete infringement of human dignity and freedom. Desktop Linux is also better now than it has ever been. In fact, given the direction of the latest versions of Windows and macOS, it is in many ways a better experience than those. I won't lie and say Linux is unequivocally better in every way, though.

somehow i doubt this is remotely true outside of "some of us watched the movie between its release and now" and it's getting clickbait spun into "they're preparing for the real thing by watching a movie!"

Plaquemines Superintendent Shelley Ritz said Justice Department officials still visited every year as recently as 2023 and requested data on topics including hiring and discipline. She said the paperwork was a burden for her district of fewer than 4,000 students.

“It was hours of compiling the data,” she said.

Damn, I hate doing a few hours of work as part of my superintendent job.

I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.
