Probably have better luck if you try yay -Syu instead

Huh. I don’t know enough about Flatpak, I guess repo owners get to make that call? Do Flatpaks have a preinst equivalent? Could you theoretically have an empty Flatpak that installs snaps at a system level? I guess it would need explicit permission to write to the filesystem, which kinda seems to be the opposite of the purpose of Flatpak.
And like, even if that is possible, the Flathub maintainers would probably reject it on principle. So I’m imagining CanHub with an extra step in the installation instructions that gets you to pipe a curl’d script into sh, at which point, what’s the point?

Ah yes. Jean Lenin.

I keep getting annoying fake torrents where they put a bunch of junk into an archive and then give that the name of the thing that I’m tracking. The *arrs say “yep, file’s there, you might need to extract it yourself though, not sure what’s going on there” and Jellyfinn just never gets the files, because they’re not real.

I think you mean oþþenþeþ

In seriousness, it’s supposed to poison AI scrapers.
In less seriousness, yeah it’s annoying.

I think she’s starting off on the left foot.

They just reach into their computer case and tickle the pins on the CPU when they want to initialize PID 1.

I just sed -i ‘s/bookworm/trixie/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Budget Cuts was the one that turned me around on it.

I switched to Arch full-time recently and I’ve got to say, it’s way more accessible than its impression suggests. It just… works. The installer is about as easy as any installer these days. There have been no major breakages, even due to my own stupid mistakes. There was the one linux-firmware package thing but that was really just a minor speed bump and the instructions were easy to follow.

I’m gonna keep using the word “sideloading” because it is a perfectly legitimate act and I refuse to let them redefine it to demonize us.
I’m not sure why you’re helping them.

I feel the same about Ticket to Ride. Spend the whole game maybe doing something, maybe just drawing and passing, and then the game ends and somebody wins at random.

But these are good gateway games, games that lead from Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders to games like Betrayal and Root and Gloomhaven.

For the OP I would recommend Spirit Island, which is the perfect subversion of Settlers of Catan. Pass through Puerto Rico if you must (it’s a better game than Catan but yeesh, slavery, and then double-yeesh, casual slavery erasure).

I see the gateway board games but not the advanced ones, why stop when you’re so close?

Was the Titan a Forgotten Beast? I saw one of those at least once per fort. Once it was a completely helpless squirrel made of ears that got caught in a trap without my noticing, once it was a colossal brass spider that casually strolled through my fortress, sticking all my surviving dwarves onto walls and ceilings with a web cannon. I had to wait for those dwarves to die of dehydration, since the fort isn’t considered lost while they’re still alive, but they couldn’t free themselves to eat or drink.

Yes but you don’t need it. WSL2 comes with WSLg these days, and can draw to your Windows desktop without an external graphical server.

Two points: Mint has a Debian version (LMDE), but also base Debian, especially the KDE flavor, has made enormous gains in beginner friendliness.

Specifically Linux Mint Debian Edition
