If that was the case, "I have a girlfriend" should also work the same, but from my experience it never does.

Tested: Microsoft just debloated Windows 11 Search without Bing, and it's crazy fast

Yeah, but at least in KDE, when I search for something that it can't find on the PC, it gives you the option to "search blah with duckduckgo in firefox" instead of starting a web search immediately, waiting for it to finish, and showing the results in your start menu in front of whatever you actually wanted to find on your PC. It's the fallback and not the default.

In EU taxes are included while in the US they're not. Or something, I don't know I'm from the EU.

Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027

I've been playing tons of games with this on my couch, currently playing RE9, and I love it. Trackpad + gyro is an amazing combo for aiming with a controller. I've been wanting this exact controller for years since I got my Steam Deck andit was worth it, especially for couch play.

People were absolutely calling BG3 woke, it's just that that narrative has died out because of how successful the game was. Can't say "go woke go broke" when the game actually earns millions.

This isn't foolproof. A lot of malware these days is resistant to analysis because they can detect that they're running in a sandbox and refuse to run the malicioua code.

You can't use Google Wallet to pay with NFC, they don't have Miracast, and Chromecast can supposedly work but I haven't been able to get it to work. Those are the three major hurdles I've found, but getting away from Google was a priority so I'll live without them.
NFC can have other providers other than Google Wallet, but I haven't found any that I find trustworthy enough yet. Supposedly the EU is making an alternative.

The whole reason Stop Killing Games exists is because of Ubisoft, because they killed off The Crew.

What do you think of this trend on Instagram and tiktok?

The parallel comes from the argument from rape apologists that say stuff like "men can't control themselves, it's like putting a juicy stake in front of a dog". It's a disgusting argument shifting blame to the way women dress, saying they provoked them. The message here comes straight from that, debunking the whole "dogs can't control themselves so men can't either" argument.
As for whether the dog would eat that while the trainer isn't there, I don't know about that. I trained my dog not to eat without a signal, and I have been testing her to see how well she responds to that by literally leaving the room for a while and seeing what she does. I always come back to the untouched food and her lying patiently in front of it. And it's not just me, there are a ton of videos of people doing the same and leaving their dogs alone with the food, some of these videos even part of an earlier iteration of this same trend.
Also, I don't think it matters that the dog didn't train itself. In fact, I think it says exactly what it should, that we should stop hiding behind the "boys will be boys" argument and teach our boys and men how to behave.

EU OS: A Fedora-based distro 'for the public sector'

I mean, SUSE Linux Enterprise, the distro on which OpenSUSE Leap is based, has been developed by SUSE since 2000. It's newest version, 15, is used in IBM's Watson and HP's Frontier supercomputers. I'd say it's enterprise ready.

Virt-manager is a GUI for libvirt, which can use several hypervisors, including KVM/QEMU, and it works great.
There's several other clients for libvirt, including GNOME Boxes, Cockpit (web based), and virsh (CLI).

Yeah, if you've got two EFI partitions on separate disks and one is for Windows while the other is for your Linux, you're good. Windows likes to reinstall its bootloader which sets it as the default and sometimes overwrites the Linux bootloader, but not if it's on a different EFI partition, then it doesn't "know" about it.
