Any particular resources that you trust to share proper information?

Out of these I have seen Your Lie in April, Kill La Kill, Eureka 7, and Hellsing (both). These were great, so looking forward to watching your recommendations.

I think other than Lain I haven’t seen any of them, and will give them a go. Tokyo Ghoul might be a little later tho, after watching 1 episode I felt I need to be in a specific type of mood to give it a proper watching.

I’m open to recommendations across categories.

Thanks, I like your answer and have got a couple of anime that I will need to add to my list.

It’s a pretty great opening, I am intrigued to watch it.

But what makes you say it is “one of the best openings ever” ? From a similar era Berserk comes to mind as another good example.

User action is what will be the launcher.

I click on AC Origins in my Steam install should launch the game, not another launcher which has to then go and invoke the game.

Oh, KDE on Wayland seemed to have messed with something about display for my i5 6400 + RX 6600, because when I switched to GNOME on Xorg the problems went away.

Then I only needed to figure out how to get Ubisoft Launcher/Connect installed in the same prefix folder as Assassin’s Creed Origins. I despise whoever came up with the idea of launcher-launching-launcher, and for what ? Validating key ?

I was gonna write about the fascist aspects of the country, but I wouldn’t say that it’s something completely unknown; many of my peers are okay with fascism just because there is no centerist alternative, as what we have already seen leftists are not going to be better given the same amount of power.

When it comes to religion, it should have been a personal thing rather than systematically integrating it with each aspect of our lives like how it was initially intended.

Sometime earlier in my life I took a decision of not going to my place of worship; this helped decouple my belief in something bigger that I don’t understand, and a cult made by man.

Warez piracy is anyway not “stealing” since you’re not taking the digital item away, tis something which can be infinitely copied.

No problem mate !

Once you’re on Mint’s page, just have a look over the other desktop environments (DE) offered. Screenshots will not tell you the entire picture, but at least you can have a look at what you don’t find appealing.

But remember not to really worry about the DE, you can always install another one and remove the one you don’t like.

Like Adobe / Microsoft / Google / Meta / … maybe most large enterprises ? No question about it.

Mainly from a security standpoint PPAs are something I would want to avoid.

I’ve not used Snap since I tried it out a couple of years ago, it wasn’t as good as Flatpak in terms of performance, and there were concerns which got highlighted like it’s entirely proprietary and hosted by Canonical only, I heard Snap was being forced even when you would want through system packages, and something about forced updates.

I get why Flatpak is better in terms of sandboxing each application, but I personally prefer to use system packages wherever I can.

I just moved from Windows to Linux (currently, PopOS) this year around.

You can try out beginner friendly distributions like PopOS, Linux Mint, ZorinOS which are Ubuntu-Debian based or Fedora. Like others have mentioned, applications made on Linux are expected to be cross-compatible with all distributions so your choice will mainly come down to what desktop environment you like as there are many with different feel to the user experience.

To know what works for you try these out in a VM if possible before biting the bullet so you know what all packages are present in Linux, and what all of your usecase will need to be managed through WINE/Proton compatibility layers.

You would want to avoid Ubuntu, and installing anything through Snap or PPA repositories if it ever comes up in your searches.

This didn’t tickle my fancy, but I can see why the videos are popular.

.7z is supported by most popular applications, and offers better compression than a .zip or .rar in my experience.

Unless you’re saying normally people rely on Windows Explorer for their (de)compression needs ? (⁠･⁠o⁠･⁠;⁠)

You could add Summoning Salt to this list. I’m not really otherwise interested in world record attempts, but something about his narration is so good.

Another fun addition could be Oversimplified.

I like the phrase “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

KOSA is not the only thing one should be worried about, illiterates from UK are bringing in an Online Safety Bill which needs all services with encryption to provide a backdoor for the UK government under the reasoning of “monitoring for CSAM content”.

This doesn’t just impact UK citizens, but will do for the world.

If I recall correctly, Australia did something similar.

Interesting to see how the 5-eyes try to push similar dumb ideas together.

I just use DDG, and I was told in a different post that it fetches results through Bing.

Much like what you said, Google is better than other engines with regional results being a non-US person.

This adds up really nicely with the newest video of Razbuten “How Games Make Villains Sound Evil”

I see, but how is this different in a phone app? Wouldn’t the request still be made to a backend?
