Ubuntu is developed and controlled by a corporation (canonical) and they have some non ideal practices (like pushing snaps heavily instead of the more open flatpaks or native apps). Mint takes what’s good in Ubuntu and cleans it up a lot.

I’ve heard that happen with mint before. Try a bit more modern distro like fedora or openSUSE maybe?

Very. Am lucky in that regard. Am pan and my partner is trans. No big deal. Also my great uncle came out as gay a few years ago and even most of the family in his generation (he’s in his 60s now) are supportive. And recently my teenage sibling came out as trans and our parents are doing their best to get them the resources they need.

That only works though, if the app is in the official repos. Otherwise it gets as complicated as Windows, if not more so. Which technically also has a software manager (Microsoft store), albeit a bad one.

Even that tariff thing can be positive for us already. At least here in Germany, big Hollywood productions snag a lot of public funding, because they produce a small amount of the film in Germany. That money could’ve gone to smaller, national productions (that actually need the money) instead and maybe, if Hollywood has a disincentive to produce outside of 'Murrica, that funding can actually go to someone who needs it.

Or they’ll just fund the same lame ‘comedy’ films with the same jokes, same directors and same actors as the last 20 years again. Because why would they ever take a risk on sth new and creative, if the same old works just about well enough

Movies do belong in cinemas. Rian Johnson‘s movies do not.

Yea. I love Indian food or kebab but when someone next to me on a train is having some, I’m not gonna be happy.

Schon faszinierend, dass sich sowohl das angelsächsische "tongs“ und „tongues“, als auch das deutsche „Zange“ und „Zunge“ sich so ähneln.

Fast so, als ob die Sprachen verwandt sind.

Oder es ist einfach nur Zufall. Wer weiß das schon? Ich jedenfalls nicht.

The voice acting alone is worth a lot. Oblivion did not age well in that regard. Not that it was ever great to beginn with…

For books, library genesis would be a better place to look than piratebay though.

It’s not actually done by Bethesda though but by Virtuos Games, which have both a history of making excellent remasters and miracle ports, and remasters that were very buggy at release.

Nobara: Has all the gaming features I want on my gaming pc (like gamescope) and is htpc capable. Also, it’s based on Fedora, which I’m familiar with.

Fedora: I like gnome and it’s always fairly up to date and rock solid. Great on my laptop.

Have considered switching to openSUSE though. It’s German (as am I), it’s the first Linux distro I ever used (on my granddad’s PC, more than a decade ago) and I’ve heard a lot of good about tumbleweed.

Depends on how much work they put into the graphics. Sure, if they keep UE at default settings, it’ll look like any run of the mill UE5 game. But if they cared enough to combine two engines, maybe they also cared enough to actually make UE5 look and feel more unique and more Elderscrolls-y…

Also, keeping gamebryo for logic might be a good thing to make the game feel more like the original.

Apparently UE5 only for rendering, the game logic still on the old gamebryo engine.

Because if done well, UE5 is fairly pretty and if it’s used just for graphics, maybe it won’t perform as badly either. The mixture of two engines tells me at the very least that the devs spent some amount of thought and time on the engine(s).

But yea, when it comes out and I find out it runs like crap on my 5700xt, I’ll just wait until Skyblivion is out. Not gonna be too long anyways.

Hey, with that pill I‘d only have to sleep 4 hours to be as rested as the regular 6.

Das machen meine Textvorschläge bzw. Autokorrektur seit iOS 18 ständig. Nervtötend.

Mein Vater sagt immer: „Lieber 'ne Blinde im Bett als 'ne Taube auf auf dem Dach."

That’s because our eyes adapt themselves to different colour temperatures all the time during the day (a tungsten light bulb has very warm (orange) light, while daylight is much cooler (blue), for example, yet white is always white to us). This happens automatically and subconsciously.

If you close one eye for a little while though, it „resets“ back to its default colour temperature. After opening it again, it’ll take a little while for it to start compensating to the correct white point again and thus you‘ll have different hues on both eyes for a little while.

The effect is exaggerated a lot, if you close one eye and then look at a bright monochromatic image with the other one (like a bright red image on your phone, close to your face).

Or, of course, if you wear anaglyphic 3D glasses (that’s the red/green or red/cyan kind) for a while, as one eye will try to compensate for the red as much as it can, while the other one will try to compensate for the green/cyan as much as possible. Result: the eye with the red glass will look much cooler after taking off the glasses, and the eye with the green/cyan glass much warmer.

Generally that effect will balance itself out after a little while. Except for very slight variances of course. Our eyes and brains are far from perfect.

The fuck is a 960p monitor? What’s the horizontal resolution? 1707? Or is it not 16:9? Don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of that.

That’s the only reason I’d want a smart watch for: knowing whether a notification is worth getting my phone out for, or not.
