Why can't I play H.265 videos on Fedora 38 even though I have the codec installed

Try this:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf groupupdate core
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video

You should also add the hardware accelerated codecs, by following the appropriate section depending on your hardware:

Make sure to reboot.

If this still does not work, install Celluloid and enjoy the superiority of mpv.

Musk given 24 hours to address graphic images of Hamas attacks

No, you don't understand, it's easy:

  • if the government punishes you for what you said, it's an attack on Free Speech™
  • if woke Twitter cancels you for what you said, it's an attack on Free Speech™
  • if a far-right/Republican shoots you down for what you said, it's just the consequences of your Free Speech™
  • if you're writing a book about sexual education, it's not Free Speech™ anymore, and you should be censored

Easy, huh? /s

Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh

You don't. Seriously. The point of an ergonomic keyboard is to touch-type. You won't learn to do that if you look at your keyboard.

Print your keyboard layout on a sheet of paper, and hang it next to your monitor. Now when you want to type a character, look it up on your sheet, and without looking at your fingers, type it. Try to remember the position like "left index finger, two lines above the rest line".

That's an Estonia thing, not a Europe thing. Estonia is notorious for being the land of IT. In the rest of Europe, IT is heavily male-dominated. I just finished an IT tech/sysadmin training in France: out of 15 people, 3 were women, and it was probably one of the best ratio they've ever had. It seems there are a bit more women in the programming courses recently, though, but they're still a minority.

At my current job, out of a little over 100 people in various IT teams, 10 are women.

Recommend Me: a wireless game controller

I use a DualSense, an 8BitDo Pro2, and a Switch Pro controller.

My favourite by far is the DualSense: motion control works (unlike the 8BitDo), and the touchpad is really useful to control the mouse cursor in menus. The buttons are also shorter and real more reactive. It's on the bigger size, which may or may not be a good thing for you. I have smaller hands, so for me it's not as comfortable as the 8BitDo, but it's definitely bearable, and I still use it over my 8BitDo Pro2.

The Switch Pro controller is a pain in some games (last time I tried, it was so bugged it was unusable with Dead Cells), and I don't see any real advantage it would have over an 8BitDo Pro2. Maybe the motion control? I don't know if it works or not, I have never tested it.
