You'd like that, wouldn't you?

The Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

5 euros a month. Worth it, it's by far the best VPN.

They don't. I've been on the same Debian install on laptop and desktop for years. It'll make some odd decisions with packages sometimes, but it hasn't bricked.

I don't have hard data, but you don't see these kinds of posts about Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.

Love this website, the layout is great and the explanations are simple and straight-forward.

I dig this one, it's pretty cool.

But that's exactly the problem. If the company is kind about it, or forced to play nice by effective regulation, there's no issue. But if there's no regulation and the company wants to, it tends towards monopolistic tendencies. And there's nothing that incentivizes a company to play nice forever, in fact they're incentivized to maximize profit. So Vertical Integration is bad without being checked.

I always enjoyed these tiktoks, staged or not. But man this is a shitty attitude. Imagine taking it as an insult if someone identified you from your best known (and quite good) work.

A real transition will happen in bursts. I'd love to see stats by interest categories, because I suspect what happens is enough prominent people in some community move at to bring the rest with them, but until that happens there's no budge.

Colossal Order is the dev, Paradox is just the publisher. Paradox deserves crap for their many mistakes, but this one isn't theirs.

For CK and Vic they changed their design philosophy to be more "sandbox with realistic parameters" vs older games' "sandbox with prescripted events" to make historical events happen. It's an ambitious idea but so far the results have been pretty mixed. I'm hopefully they get it right eventually. Stellaris has really only gotten to be as polished as it very recently.

Paradox is just the publisher on this one, Colossal Order is the dev.

I have the same issue with light, had prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses, and had to switch between the two frequently. Finally got prescription transitions and they're incredible, I no longer have to think about my glasses at all. Just put them on and go.
