If you are looking to get it or try linux gaming in general then I would recommend looking at heroic games launcher which supports games from epic, gog, and Amazon. Past that there is always a huge list of other games (and applications) available for install from lutris' website. And bottles for specific things, but that is a bit more advanced/nuanced to setup.

It's unfortunate that there is only one photo of the statue in the article. I'd bet many people would just assume that this is ai generated.

I was wondering the same thing. DOE has very little to do with the electric grid.

I noticed that too. Thought it was just regular YouTube jank as usual.

Oh I'll agree that sometimes Bluetooth pairing can be finicky.

But the person I replied to was talking about how Bluetooth is not good enough for audiophile quality headphones. But most people don't care and can't even notice the difference.

You are right. But for >99% of users Bluetooth is a perfectly sufficient connection format for headphones.

It seems like this is a bit of a political move. I understand that the article mentions connecting the homeless that are cleared with the local support structure. But it gives no mention of how those support structures will be improved. No additional funding or infrastructure provided.

From what I understand the local support structures are already at capacity and generally shelters are still unsafe (especially for women).

This is either coming from Newsome not understanding the issue at best. And a political move that will just cause more suffering at worst.

It sounds like they plan to clear the camps and dump the people on the (already strained) local support systems without giving any extra funding or infra to those support systems.

I feel like most casual users would not make the connection of "crawlers" to link previews that they talk about it the article.

Sure, if you understand that robots.txt includes all robots then sure. But that is not how general news media has been talking about robots.txt.

I'm not sure how many people know this but there is good reason why (at least on android) giving Bluetooth permissions also requires location permissions.

The basic concept is that given enough Bluetooth data an app can pinpoint your location accurately anyways. So the android devs decided that they would just require any app that wanted Bluetooth data would also need to require access to location. That way users would be indirectly informed of the dangers.

Why not just a pop-up to inform of the danger? Probably because most users will click past that warning and not read it.

There’s a reason you have a home dir. Just copy that forward along with whatever other config files you might’ve customized.

This is probably the reason why most distros will have the home directory on a separate partition. To easily allow you to keep your most important data when reinstalling or switching to a new distro.
