Have you checked the

Limited edition let's do some simple addition.

Fifty dollars for a tee shirt, that's just some ignorant bullshit.

I call that getting swindled and pimped.

Shit, I call that getting tricked by a business.

That shirt is hella dope

And having the same one as six other people in this post is a hella don't.

I believe this to an extent, but I think they're underplaying the cost of labor.

From personal experience, purchasing several MW of panels in an international market with limited supply chain regulation, there was a ~75% markup to procure panels with a traceable supply chain - it was unconfirmed but assumed the cheaper alternative came from Xinjiang.

You can maybe attribute some of that to just simple supply/demand. There's much more international demand, especially from wealthier countries like the US, for panels that are of known origin. But that said, I think there's a not insignificant % of that cost uplift that is labor.

Do yourself a favor and start from the beginning. It's truly an excellent show - Harrison Ford is flawless.

Yo, that's fifty dollars for a tee shirt.

Instead of Firefox we need hundreds of stripped down browsers some first year CS students cobbled together in their basement for browsing the web.

Or something like that, I didn't quite follow either.

"By last year we technically meant there were 25 days last year in which that wasn't the official conclusion of the ICJ"

Great, a different useless button.

If AI is going to be crammed down our throats can we at least be able to hold it (aka the companies pushing it) liable for providing blatantly false information? At least then they'd have incentive to provide accurate information instead of just authoritative information.

Just built a new PC literally this weekend. WiFi mouse and Bluetooth drivers did not work out of the box. I had to spend hours searching through what little info exists out there tangentially related to my problem to find:

WiFi drivers were fixed in kernel 6.10, which fortunately Mint let's you upgrade to 6.11 at this time with relative ease.

Bluetooth drivers do not appear to have been fixed, but I might have a shot if I switch over to a rolling release distro and relearn everything I'm used to from using Debian-based distros for years. Dongle is on order, but I don't love having to have 2 bluetooth devices.

It's unclear if mouse drivers have been fixed in the kernel, but I was able to find a nice set of drivers/controller on github which fixed some mouse problems but only if i used their experimental branch and it did not work with my wireless adapter. Very fortunately I had an old wireless adapter from a mouse from the same brand that was able to close the loop, but that was just dumb luck.

By EOD today I should have everything I want working, but it wasn't "30s" of searching - to your point, 60-70% of problems may be solvable that way, but having 1/3 of your problems require technical expertise is not going to bring Linux out of the hobbyist domain.

Note: this is not a complaint against Linux, just a statement of fact. These things have gotten a lot better over the years, and things get easier to find as the community grows and these struggles get discussed more openly, but there's still lots of challenges out there that take more than a 30s search.

Was also curious, so I did some searching. Review bombed feels like a deliberate word choice to shift the blame but this article sums things up:

TL;DR, souls-like game already walking a fine line balancing difficulty & fun released a major overhaul that significantly altered the balance, allegedly making late game easier at the cost of early game getting harder. Players did not like the changes and expressed that in reviews. Dev has issued updates but it takes a lot to earn back those review points.

For what it's worth, from what I can tell from the outside looking in, it looks like the fixes have been well received.
