He is.

The fun part is that as soon as I do actually get up, he isn’t far behind, and then the meowing by the food bowl begins.

My cat loves to sleep in.

It’s common for people to semi-jokingly complain about their cats waking them for food every day. Mine doesn’t do that.

If it’s the weekend, and I sleep without an alarm, I’ll rouse to my cat having joined me in bed, ready for a couple hours of snoozing as the sun comes up.

He’s usually down to keep chilling in bed for hours and hours past when I usually feed him.

Where. I keep reading it over and over and the only one I can find is someone derisively commenting on “the same way it applies to other streamers”.

Twitch guidelines are basically written in such a way that they can just freely do whatever they want and this “rule change” seems to continue in that spirit, singling out vtubers.

Yes, the model. Vtubers typically don’t show their real appearance. Some do, but some don’t.

vtubers are streamers or content creators that use a puppeted avatar, instead of camera feed of their real face/body.

Some avatars are quite risque, but this rule apparently only applies to the avatars, while the real stuff is still fair game.

No they don’t. The dev has to opt to use Valve CEG (custome executabke generation) for that to be included in the game files, and that is entirely optional.

On these games, you can do exactly what you suggest.

Here’s a list.

Heroic can actually do that too, now.

Not sure what you mean by with or without GOG, but their whole thing is that none of their games have DRM.

AFAIK, you end up with identical installs even if you use Galaxy to download and install your games, and the installs will continue to work even if you uninstall Galaxy. The actual game files are exactly the same.

I think the installers boil down to convenient self-decompressing archives for getting the game files onto your machine.

If you have the game files for a GOG game installed using any method, those can be moved around, copied, and run with no problem.

Note that a lot of games on steam don’t have any DRM, either. It’s probable that if you have large library, a lot of your installed games will run without steam, if you go and start them from their exe.

So you can likely archive at least some of your steam games by simply keeping them installed, or even squirreling away the install folder somewhere.

When you wiggle the mouse on KDE, the cursor gets bigger so you can find it on big or multiple monitors.

A local place makes a pepperoni pizza with blue cheese and honey added. It’s fucking amazing.

One side of your deskpad may be grippier than the other. I noticed this with my pad when I flipped it once. The keyboard side seems to have become worn and become rough on a visually unnoticeable level, so my mouse now slides way better one end of the pad than the other.

Also, others have suggested teflon replacements for the skates.

You can also get “universal” adhesive glass mouse skates. Once I tried glass skates on a mouse I never wanted to use anything else.

That said I benefit from this most when I use my mouse for gaming. It might be pointless for average use, but the extremely low friction is very comfortable.

Start with the cheapest plan.

If you ever find yourself wishing steam installed a game faster, then upgrade to the next best one. See if that feels like enough.

I pay a bit more for 600mbps, but that’s because I have a home server which runs services for friends and family. It might be streaming media, be syncing nextcloud data, and uploading a snapshot to off-site backup, all at the same time, and it needs to do that without hiccups for anyone accessing it. Even then it’s more than strictly necessary. 350mbps would be VERY fast, and enough.

Along with that comes the ability to install small games basically instantly on my gaming desktop, and big ones in the time it takes me to grab a snack, but even the cheapest speed available would otherwise be more than enough for single-person use.

My siblings and mother live on 10mbps home wifi, and they never even complain.

Batteries catch fire. Very large ones, or many cells together can mean a very hot, very dangerous fire, with the occasional violence of a cell bursting.

Being in close contact with something like a phone when that happens would cause burns, but they don’t “explode” with very much force. (Relatively speaking. You wouldn’t get lethal fragmentation for example, I don’t think)

The note 7 batteries didn’t really go boom in the way an actual explosive does, though the reaction is a sudden and fast release of thermal energy, its not that much energy in terms of explosive devices.

So no. You can’t “hack” a phone and turn it into a bomb using just the hardware that is already inside. You could start a fire, and that could be deadly, but as an explosive device the battery in most phones is not that potent.

For real. I’ve seen kids years younger than when I started pedaling scurrying around on these, and it instantly clicked why it’s a much better way to learn to stay upright on two wheels.

I wish my first bike had been something like that. Training wheels stop a bike from leaning into turns, so they don’t teach you anything about what it is like to ride without them.

Yes and no.

Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.

If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.

Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.

If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.

I just checked the docs for installation instructions, it didn’t seem to make a distinction anymore.

Great. It wasn’t too long ago that MariaDb was still the “recommended” option.

Nextcloud.

Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.

How the fuck do you “accelerate” something they are already achieving?

Not sure how much of a future it can have even if you slap on some “speed”.
