I've been using Showly a couple months now and it's not so much the trakt features that bother me it's the fact i can't backup or import/export a csv file or something i could store in a cloud. I'd rather take a year or two to teach myself how to fork the app and add what i want than ever sign up for another service.

if your kid is like me (and there are probably some) maybe they will pretend to be asleep even if they wake up when you slip it under. i always knew it was the parents, i just wanted the money.

nooo I was gonna say Urbz!

another +1 for Heroic. Lutris never worked for me, would only install games but not launch them, and I'm not skilled enough to figure out why. Almost certainly something specific to my setup. But Heroic makes things easy-peasy.

And yeah, if Heoric doesn't work for some reason, Bottles usually will.

I loved it. Loved the historical setting and its exploration of racism, imperialism, capitalist exploitation at that time and place with the perspectives of diverse characters.

I already enjoy linguistics and learning languages, so I may be biased towards already liking the premise of the novel. (And dark academia is totally up my alley.) The way the author explores the nature of language and how certain parts of ideas always get lost in translation was pretty cool; and using that as a form of magic (that could then be exploited only from native speakers of the language no less) was so cleverly done.

Add in the character conflicts between the four friends, a campus strike, and working class solidarity (with a dash of "be gay do crime")... I was hooked.

Adding on to what many have already said to give it a name: multiple intelligences

I have PopOS on one old HP notebook and Fedora with KDE Plasma on another. I barely use the touch screen capabilities but when I do I haven't had any problems on either. Smooth all around, at least for my uses.

ah I see what you're saying, more efficient ways to get the same data. Makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

project 2025 will help billionaires take away our ability to unionize. it will help SCOTUS and lower courts pass anti-abortion and anti-trans laws, leading to countless deaths (children included) and suicide. it already has in some states. it will gut public education. it will extend mass surveillance. and so much more.

yes, their foreign policy is the typical establishment bullshit. but domestically, we need to secure our freedoms to protest and unionize at the ballot box if we want to continue to be able to protest in the streets.

yeah just getting some people around to the whole idea that, right now, voting is part of how we all have to work together to get along somehow on this big rock, and that means compromises sometimes. sometimes ugly compromises.
