I haven't read up on Discord's TOS lately, but I absolutely would not trust them to not spy on my shit.

The site asks for contributions ranging from $10, which will earn donors a vote on the location of where the statue will be permanently installed, to $25,000 to receive a limited quarter-life-size bronze replica.

Oh, it's a grift.

It's better than iron dome because it's gold.

Fun thought exercise but functionally irrelevant. It still feels like I'm making decisions, so that's close enough.

Perfect. No notes.

Bazzite only really does gaming mode on AMD GPUs (RX4xx+). As a general rule of thumb AMD cards are usually better supported under Linux. Bazzite's desktop mode should work fine on a 1660 though.

Tried this but all I ended up with is random chunks. How do you pull in the remaining matter from the other cans where parts of your tomatoes ended up?

McD's changes their menu and business practices to suit the local market. In India they don't do beef at all.

This is covered in another thread on this post if you actually want to know. I suspect you don't, and just want to post gotcha arguments in bad faith.

Just lurk there for a while. IMO, biggest misconception is that they're omnicidal lunatics. They have a lot of in-jokes and bits that seem incomprehensible and border on unhinged to an outsider, and sometimes they kinda lean in to the perception. But if you spend enough time there you realise they're very intelligent and deeply empathetic people. The "unlimited genocide on the first world" rhetoric is an expression of frustration rather than actual intent.

 

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

Third-party game tools (self.linux_gaming)
 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

 

But the guy behind it is a god-tier troll, and Cory Doctorow generally doesn't suck IMO. Enjoy.
