My partner and I were gratefully surprised when we bought a cheap Hisense for their cozy space (to isolate when overstimulated and just play some games) that in the setup it offers the option for a 'dumb TV' mode with no requirement for internet. In addition you can reject the user agreements and still use the TV. It boots straight to HDMI, no pop up ads, and is snappy.

Many distros nowadays have decent support forngaming accessories and a mix of Lutris and Steam/Proton have given me a near seemless experience on Linux. Smooth enough for my partner to hop ship to Bazzite for their ROG Ally.

Sometimes there are small quirks, like controllers on Bazzite just work™ but on Vanilla OS 2 my xbox controller wouldn't be recognized by Steam or games wirelessly (wired worked) but my DS5 controller worked flawlessly (including the trackpad that I never got to work on Windows).

Most of the Steam library will work well and ProtonDB is a great resource for compatibility. Furthermore there are Decky plugins for setups like Bazzite and Chimera that embed the ProtonDB rating into the Steam game page.

So mostly I try to get my music from Bandcamp, artists' websites, or iTunes. With these methods I don't have to correct any info through Kid3 and normally have the correct album art for Navidrome.

If they don't have an option to purchase their music I'll use soulseek or yt-dlp to download it. That's normally for obscure artists, music that can't be sold due to Copyrights, or sanctioned countries (for example Russian musicians).

I've found that self-hosting my music has helped me slow down my music consumption and be more picky about what I listen to. I've also found good quality applications such as Feishen (macOS), play:Sub (iOS), and Symfonium (Android).

I'm still newish to gaming on Linux but from what I've heard Nvidia drivers are hit or miss but much better then they used to be. AMD graphics are well supported and using a mix of Proton though Steam and Wine I haven't really had any issues with games. I have an ROG Ally running Bazzite and a gaming PC running Vanilla OS 2, both do just fine. Additionally hosting game servers on my Debian server has been fine as well.

If you're on the fence I'd recommend installing on a separate drive and giving it a try.

This site's cookie banner and method of 'opting out' is atrocious. Additionally, "What is a hookless tire" shouldn't have been so late in the article ffs.

Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

Could you please not disparage an entire language and ethnic group? There's an entire grocery list of things you could insult Musk about, even while including Putin, to not bring the Russian language into it.

They're probably referring to nyaa si which normally has either decent webrips, Bluray rips once the show is released physically, and at times with list 3840p shows.

Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.

Nicotine+ is a FOSS multi-platform gui for Soulseek and runs on Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.

Freyr is a CLI tool that can either built manually for Linux I believe or ran in Docker on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

yt-dlp is a CLI tool that has compiled binaries or can be installed through a package manager on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.

Its a tongue in cheek CVE. Crowbar is literally a crowbar. Like.. beat the password or device access from you.

Many men do look sexier with a beard. For some men it helps with obscuring a recessed chin and giving a ‘stronger’ shape.

My personal preference is when men have bit of scruff imo. Like a week of growth with a full mustache. Obviously people like you dislike beards but everyone has their opinions.
