Well Mint is based on Ubuntu (unless you get the Debian Edition) and Ubuntu is based on Debian sooo…

Basically the majority of Linux distros are based on either Debian, Fedora or Arch. IMHO it’s usually best to go with one of the originals, not the derivatives. Although I will admit Ubuntu has made Debian a lot better over the years, but that’s only because they took the bits from Ubuntu that actually made sense and ignored the rest.

TempleOS?

Your definition is very broad though, a device like a Nintendo Switch would be covered, even though that’s clearly not a desktop 😁.

I think unattended-upgrades only runs once a day by default, and the repository index could have changed since then. Different results on different machines can be because unattended-upgrades didn’t run at the same time, or from the same mirror (and mirrors take a while to propagate changes). Generally speaking you should always run an apt update directly before installing new packages.

Jellyfin on an Android TV does DV just fine here, so any android box that supports DV should work I guess.

While I agree with most of the games in this list that I know, I wouldn’t class Ostranauts as a cleaning game. It’s probably closest to Shipbreaker, at least thematically. You loot derelict spaceships, but can also deconstruct hulls and systems to add them to your own spaceship. Finding a hull with serviceable fusion engine parts is hitting the jackpot, either to sell or for your own ship. While it shares the “I’m in debt for the rest of my life” vibe it’s much easier to climb out of that hole once you understand the game.

It does, I’m posting from Thunder right now, and there are more. But it’s not at the same number of apps as Lemmy yet.

When I was a kid 320x200 was the best you could do on a (Commodore 64) monitor. With 16 colours! Which was a lot, because PC’s at that time could only output 4 colours at once on that resolution (CGA). We’ve certainly come a long way since then.

Underwear: Aubade. French brand with Swiss overlords according to Wikipedia. Not cheap! But very high quality and comfort. I haven’t worn much else for years now. Aubade is mainly known as a high end lingerie brand for women, but they make excellent stuff for men too.

Arch in the front, Debian in the back(end). I run Arch on my laptop and Debian on my homeserver. I’ve ran Debian on laptops before and if stable is getting older hardware support can be a struggle, much better on a rolling distro like Arch. And having all the newest toys on your desktop is very very nice. While on my homeserver I mostly want stability, everything else runs in (podman) containers anyway.

Cachy is a distro I would consider, because it’ll theoretically give you slightly better battery life due to the optimised compiles, although I’m not sure you’ll ever really notice. Manjaro has a reputation of breaking far more often than Arch does, so that one’s a no for me.

The price of electricity in a country usually has nothing to do with whether power lines are run above or below the ground. Very often a large part of your electricity price is determined by taxes and subsidies for example. And in my country (the Netherlands) the suppliers of electricity are different companies than the ones responsible for the power network too. Like Sweden we haven’t had residential power lines running above ground for half a century or so, it’s pretty uncommon in (Western?) Europe.

Yeah they would, as multiple countries with a better standard of living than the US have already been doing it for quite a while.

Het positieve nieuws is dat Groenlinks-PVDA nu de grootste partij in de oppositie is. Meer fragmentatie op rechts is altijd goed IMHO.

I might get downvoted for this, but Breaking Bad. I made it into the second season, constantly annoyed at how massively unrealistic and terrible these people were to each other. People kept telling me it would get better later on and that I should stick with it, but after that failed to materialise I just gave up.

The vast majority of games I play were never released on console, so there’s that too.

Matte coatings interfere with more than just contrast, they often look a little more blurry as well in my experience. But yeah, the “massively oversimplified” was there for a reason 😆.

Like Eheran said, they definitely exist: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/bright-room

The massively oversimplified explanation is that more reflective coatings give a better image quality as long as you don’t have reflections. Matte coatings dull the colours of the image a bit and make it a bit less sharp.

Yes, those go to the “unsubscribe” folder, so I read them less often than my normal mail.

In order to generate that texture, AI bots have already been attacking every website hosting content on the internet for the past year, to the point that they were basically DDoSed and forced to take extreme measures to stay online. Plenty of copyrighted works have been slurped up without consent from their authors, a massive amount of energy has been used to inference the models and even more energy (far more than all cryptocurrencies combined for example) is used generating things from those models. So yes, a lot of damage has already been done. Far more than killing a couple of cows.

One way of looking at it is serving a vegan a vegan meal, after you slaughtered a cow for the first couple of tries. Some of the damage has already been done.

Also, we’ve had several kerfuffles already where GenAI “placeholders” were present in a released game, and caused plenty of outrage. It’s far safer to never have those placeholders to begin with. Just draw up something ugly in Paint, at least it’ll be plenty obvious you need to fix it before launching the game.
