Also adding a data point for Optery. I’m sure the other services are comparable, though. Most have free trials.

And yet it’s a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

I’ve just been thinking of going back to Earthsea!

Brave New World/Island by Huxley got the memo.

We have lost the ability to be present in the moment, unable to confront reality without media to filter it…

That’s a really good point… God Loves Uganda was eye-opening about US aid.

Europe has a handful of upsides. The growing independence is great to see, as well as an increase in domestic defense budgets.

Ditto, never was into gardening but I’m going to try growing some herbs and tomatoes this year.

Technically, but I have no plumbing skills and don’t exactly want to drop $100+ for a sink-type filter that requires a lot more space than I have, anyway.

I like using Brita, but having to buy non-sustainable single-use filters is a serious buzzkill. Yet, since I rent, I can’t install one of those fancy tap-level filters either…

I mean, the rules are always a bit different for islands.

Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.

It is the most ‘Windows-like’ of the mainstream desktop environments. I don’t usually snap into quadrants but you can, here’s an example of how that would look in KDE.

Yeah, Linux gaming may not be for you if you play a ton of anti-cheat games.

Using a 4090 on Kubuntu works well for my gaming so far. Wayland can be a bit buggy with NVIDIA, but nothing severe.

Admittedly, I don’t play anti-cheat games which don’t really work well and I tend to play older games more than not (though I did just get Stray, which looks great).

I think you want KDE. I’m using KDE on vanilla EndeavourOS and it snaps windows just fine. Hotkeys work too, just slightly different (super + page up instead of up arrow to maximize).

Also the popularity of eugenics began in the US. You even read about it in The Great Gatsby.

I haven’t - thanks for the tip! I’ve mostly been running Kubuntu vanilla, aside from changing some DNS configs.

Thank you, I’ll take a look at those!
