I did not expect to see the joycon working as a mouse and I imagine it’s probably very uncomfortable, but damn if it isn’t a genius move.

Mint is often the most recommended distro, because whatever you may need to do in it, it tends to be easy-ish to figure out.

But these days I would strongly recommend in favor of some immutable distro like Bluefin/Aurora or Silverblue/kinoite. Instead of being easy to figure out how to do things on them, they make it so you won’t need to, ever.

It’s a complete paradigm shift and it might not be for everyone, but in the decades I’ve been using Linux for, I had never had such a smooth experience with any distro. Everything just works and you don’t need to think about the OS anymore.

However it won’t easily fit with some of the requirements you listed.

Nice! Earlier this year I skipped on a game I had been wanting for a long time, and I skipped it because of Denuvo. I might as well buy this one just to support the removal this time.

For a moment there I interpreted the title wrong and thought people would start receiving TikTok content through amber alert systems.

Squaresoft games were so good that there was a weird full decade there where the name Square Enix still managed to get me interested into checking out games, but the games themselves never did. Eventually this too died out and I finally don’t care at all about square anymore.

Bad rats.

In a parallel universe where epic came out with the Deck instead of Valve, things are probably quite different. But no, Valve announces steam deck and the first thing epic does is drop their already small support for Linux.

I still use cheat-o-matic to this day. When it doesn’t work I try the similar options on cheat engine

Isn’t Canada in an agreement with the US that trades “no tariffs” for “no infringing on copyright”?

If the US is imposing tariffs, Canada should now be free to copy any American product.

Or was I lied to?

“wiped”? There was money and it ceased to exist?

They haven’t rugged it yet? I’m surprised.

Brazil did something similar a couple decades ago and it helped reduce numbers of violent crimes to some extent. The numbers were constantly going up year after year and this iniative made it go down drastically, but it continued going up at the same rate as it did before. After a decade or so it was already at the same rate as it used to be before they got the guns - and it kept going further up since

Not who I expected would be saying it loud, but I’ll take it.

Oh no

That’s because the source is not any news reporting but an actual operation from a government agency.

Anyway, this video has some footage:

The video also claims:

• there was no refrigeration for their food and both the ingredients and cooking utensils were all laying on the floor

• they only had tap water without “water treatment” (not sure what they mean by this, as tap water is supposed to already be drinkable, although in some places in Brazil it definitely isn’t)

• there was a 60/40 split in their payments, with the company keeping one portion for themselves to cover the cost of bringing them over and keeping them there. The rest was paid in Chinese currency so they couldn’t use it in Brazil.

According to an article in Portuguese:

• beds didn’t have mattresses

• up to 31 workers per available bathroom

• no lockers or any available space to keep personal items

• no payment at all for anyone who decided to quit, except for the ticket back to China

And to think that this all started because Gabe was afraid that microsoft’s “app store” would hurt Steam so he decided to fully embrace Linux to in preparation. I bet not even Gabe expected back then that the situation would be as it is today.

Poe2 in a single week managed to reach top25. It’d probably get top5 if they had counted one more week.

I opened my tool box this week and saw some bandages there and laughed as well. I don’t remember putting them there but past me clearly knew something.

And it used to work better on Linux, until the Steam Deck got announced.
