Why does this quiz have so many fuckin distributions? If a newbie is looking for a distro to install, why would you ever recommend anything more niche than Ubuntu/Mint, or Endeavour if they're interested in bleeding edge? I answered the questions as though I was new to Linux and got a massive list of every Ubuntu and Fedora derivative, with Manjaro sprinkled in for good measure.

Voyager works after logging out and back in, if you're looking for a short term solution?

It's been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:

Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.

Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can't even hope to compete.

I suppose I'd prefer if short games weren't overly expensive, but I never liked the hours per dollar thing. I don't like replaying games. I'd rather buy six two-hour indie games for ten dollars each and have each one be at least somewhat unique and engaging, than spend 60 on a sprawling hundred hour AAA game filled mostly with repetition and busywork. Life's too short for that, you know?

Eh, to be honest, manpages aren't particularly good as either documentation or quick references (hence the popularity of tldr), and info is intended primarily for the sort of long-form, comprehensive documentation that would be awkward to fit in a manpage. Also, texinfo documents can easily be exported to HTML, so one format can be used for both online and offline docs. It's an admirable effort, if nothing else.

man is standard Unix manual pages, while info is a documentation format introduced/popularised by GNU. info pages usually have a lot more information (sometimes including tutorials, guided examples, links to different pages and sections, etc (depending on the project maintainer obviously)) but man pages are the standard and basically everything has one. If you run info [program] for something without a dedicated info page, it will show the man page instead.

"KDE Gear" is just the umbrella name for KDE programs: Dolphin is KDE Gear, Kdenlive is KDE Gear, etc. So, yes, it is being fixed directly in KDE code, and this is the announcement for the release of a bunch of these programs at the same time.

What! You can't say that!

The article actually addresses this, but I feel "indie games bubble" is simply too broad a term. Is there a medium-high budget indie game bubble? Maybe. But can indie games in general even have a bubble? Fuckloads of indie games are passion projects, or made from crowdfunding money, or otherwise not based around the idea that they have to be the "product" of a sustainable business, making the whole idea of a "bubble" pointless. If the bubble pops, will itch indies stop making games? Will passionate solo devs languishing at double digit Steam review numbers stop releasing games? I don't think they will.

I believe Apex Legends and Call of Duty do, but I'm not sure. There are probably lists of them online somewhere.

Weak/no auto aim? Depends on the game you're playing, but I imagine CSGO doesn't have any. Maybe you could find a different shooter that accommodates joystick use?

Ubisoft has announced its first ever Web3 game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, which will launch on the Oasys blockchain.

Oasys is a blockchain which was established in February 2022 and is backed by multiple companies, including Bandai Namco, Sega, Ubisoft, and Square Enix. It is marketed as a specialist blockchain for games.

Ubisoft describes Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is a "PvP tactical RPG experimental game" and is currently in development for PC. You can take a look at a trailer below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKPixIolnYw

Ubisoft hasn't fared well in its previous attempts with blockchain. Its NFT plaform Quartz was criticised by French trade union Solidaires Informatique, which represented Ubisoft Paris employees. Following this, those in charge at Ubisoft said players "don't get it", whilst giving away special Ghost Recon Breakpoint NFTs to the game's developers to thank them for their efforts, rather than monetary compensation.

In September, Ubisoft CEO Yves told Eurogamer the company was continuing to look at "all the Web3 capabilities", despite a lack of success with Ubisoft Quartz and internal pushback from staff.

Other gaming companies which are validators for Oasys have also been involved with NFTs, blockchain, or Web3 previously. Square Enix announced Symbiogenesis, which it touted as a "unique experience" in a "virtual (turn-based) adventure", earlier this year. The company also sold Final Fantasy 7 NFTs as part of the game's 25th anniversary celebrations.

At the beginning of 2022, it was also revealed that Sega had filed trademarks for two projects called Sega Classics NFT Collection and Sega NFT. Sega CEO Haruki Satomi said the company "would like to try out various experiments" with regards to NFTs and play-to-earn, though it would be guided by "what will be accepted and what will not be by the users".
