Was Mint with KDE

Now Kubuntu since Mint discontinued their KDE flavour. (Yes you can install KDE but its a hassle to get everything seemless)

War in Ukraine is still very much covered in the print/digital news. My two go-tos (the guardian and the bbc) both have dedicated section for the Russian Invasion.

I don’t watch television news, but I can imagine there is less coverage on that simply because there is not much suitable video content to be broadcast and what there is is usually several days, or even weeks old for operational reasons.

So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

Or would you fight back?

I don’t think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done

Huawei and Honor can both survive purely on domestic sales before you even worry about ROW.

No idea why you think there are only three brands, or why you think the US is the only market that matters (it’s fairly obvious you are US based)

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was real. But I’ll just assume Putin anyway.

I’m sure there was a mushroom involved somehow. Perhaps tripped on a mushroom which caused him to fall, get his head caught in a noose and inadvertently pull the trigger on a shotgun that just happened to be sitting there. The resulting blast blew him out of a 4th story window.

Mushroom poisoning…

Spotify has one of the highest quality services

spotify is a great service for spotify

spotify is a great service for the consumer

spotify is a godawful exploitive pile of manure for artists

theres other ways. For instance in France its now law (I believe) that car parks (parking lots in US) over a certain size have to be covered in solar panels

takes up no space, covers the cars from the elements and provides power

The French Senate has approved a bill requiring all large parking lots across France to be topped with solar canopies in the next six years, which are predicted to generate as much energy as 10 nuclear reactors.

The legislation mandates that all new and existing car parks with 80 or more parking spaces must be blanketed in photovoltaics covering at least half of their surface area. [link]

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

without even a FPS boost to 60fps? For £50

nah, thats not ok. by any stretch.

Especially when the PS3 version was (as far as I recall) available streamed on PS+ Premium tier/PS Now

Switch Users - This is amazing, will be able to play Red Dead Redemption on the go

PS5 Users - a 10 year old game, with no fps boost, no graphics boost, for £50? **** Off R*

This has blown my brain. I have never considered doing the diagonal first.

But then, my entire life I mounted a bicycle from the left, right leg over first. It occurred to me I did this so tried to mount my bike from the opposite direction. After finally figuring out how to even move my left left over the bars, I then fell over.

So based purely on this experience, I shall continue to do forward, followed by diagonal.

This is the way

TIL that you could game on a Mac

Survivor was a massive disappointment for me. It was the game I bought with my PS5, and ended up quitting halfway through because of the bounty hunter bug.

Waited a month for that to be fixed, fired it up to continue, holomap completely vanished.

So it’s back on the backlog again. Thank God the other game I bought with my PS5 (rift apart) was just great.

That’s before we get into the navigation somehow being worse than fallen order. No minimap, no compass, and maps that are nigh on impossible to follow

Honestly I would be fine with EA never releasing another star wars game.

I am looking forward to the Ubi one though

i presume they mean inline v offset analog sticks

Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.

Combination of constan tleft sided subscriptions list, and posts in overlay mode, really is a pleasure to use

I’ve pre-ordered AC Mirage (Amazon version with the physical map etc). but in my defence, i have played every AC game, platinumed most of them, and have NEVER had the pleasure of playing one at launch, so I’m allowed.

But after the fiasco that is Jedi Survivor (Which is now firmly half completed shoved in my backlog), I will never ever buy an EA launch title.

Instances can just defederate with those servers

what is this wizardry
