Theoretically, where could one get the game data?

Just as a reminder, this is basically a stimulus/bailout for the weapons industrial complex.

Egypt takes that money and cycles it back into the US economy by buying tanks munitions and other weapons.

Arm manufacturers lobby the bajeezes for this stuff. I think a lot of stuff Egypt is being forced to buy is incredibly outdated technology and won't be helpful in modern combat (though don't quote me on that). I'm only saying this because this program has been going on for decades and I remember reading a story a while back of how they were buying old tech.

I don't want usage adoption; I want philosophical adoption which will lead to usage adoption.

I want users to appreciate that they own their software. I want them to realize the importance of being able to inspect and use your software as you see fit (within reason).

I want people to realize the dangers of walled gardens, and opaque black boxes that are doing who knows what.

I hope that makes sense; I get confused and worried when people just push adoption. I'd rather people migrate because they believe in FOSS, and then setup linux boxes for their non-tech family members as a means of protecting them.

I have a lot to say on this...but the words just aren't coming out right now. I guess I need to get in the right frame of mind.

If this is about the Macklemore incident, he started off by saying that he isn't a victim and neither is Ed (apparently his friend for a long time). The victims are the Palestinian people.

As to why make statements on "controversial stuff?" How else can you be an agent of change? What's the alternative, to see mass slaughter going on funded by your taxes and stay quiet?

If this is about some other incident, then I don't know, but I think you've misread the Macklemore case (if it is about that)

So something to cosndier: why don't they make it cheaper?

A lot of the TV people fell in love with, and that companies are trying to remake now, were low cost productions.

They didn't go for big name stars, they didn't go for big budgets. They focused more so on writing that helped create a good product.

That seems to be out the door now.

So try talking to the dealer.

It helps if you live in an urban area with lots of options, but many manufacturers would simply say no. I found a few who were willing to help

An Audi dealer said they can't disconnect the stuff, but there is an airplane mode you can use. I didn't trust that.

But I found a Honda dealer and a Nissan dealer who were willing to help. They both gave me detailed descriptions on what they were oging to do, what featuers I would lose, etc etc.

I meant in the sense that will distros as a whole drop support for games that use 32bit packages? Will proton and wine stop supporting 32bit games, etc etc

My question was predicated upon the fact that Steam is a market mover, and what are the downstream ramifications of this transition.

I'm going to go on a rant here, but I was disappointed in the launch of the Pi 5 and even more frustrated at the lack of pushback by the tech community.

I'm forgetting the details now, but it launched much later than it was supposed to (they used covid as an excuse, but I'm not sure). That's not the issue; the issue is that it was only slightly more powerful than the Pi 4.

Given that the Pi 5 was launched 4 years later, it should have been more powerful. But considering it wasn't, it meant they were using cheaper silicon.

But the real kicker is that I think it had a $10 (like a 25%) price hike.

So more expensive for marginally better power...screw that.

That along with the locked down nature of arm, I was done with the company. Especially considering the strides x86 has made in low power applications.

It just sucks can't afford anything right now.

If you watch the video, he compares it with one of his own videos that got 200k views.

Its ad revenue was only $500. And he says its just him producing and editing and doing everything.

There is something there: $500 isn't enough to cover even 1 part time employee...so how are they plugging their finances? External funding by vested interests?

What's the story behind this?

I mean about Bill Amend? I really like the first ten or so years of Fox Trot, but I gave up on it after year 15 or so as it became very dull and repetitive.

He's been milking a dead cow ever since and last I heard he had switched to web only sunday comics.

Is he making even more low effort, drawn on napkin stuff? Is this a one of?

I have a question about methods 1 & 2: do you know if having your phone in wifi calling mode with airplane mode on, prevents that form of tracking?

Can you expand on that? That's a really interesting conclusion and I'd be interested in hearing how that would work.

Personally I use that setup and am quite disappointed to hear that using wifi calling isn't the best idea.

May I should just have wifi calling off the entire time, but I would appreciate an explanation so I can plan on how to tailor my phone usage next.

Thanks

How do you get the Oxygen theme?

I went to global themes, and I can't find it in there.

Some first reaction feedback:

It's good but there are two things taht I don't like.

1.) It uses Breeze system tray icons that I am not a fan of at all; they look very outdated, not fun, boring, and its a smidge hard to get information out of them.

2.) Again in Dolphin, it uses the Breeze icons in the Places tab. I really don't like those minimal icons; there's no fun pop color, while at the same time looking modern (ala Kora).

Just to give you an idea of what I mean by non-perfect icons.

I think the overall culprit in Plasma, and as evidenced here, is that I feel Breeze is a really bad icon theme. And a lot of people use that as a starting point...which leads to unsatisfactory results.

Your latter point is something I've been considering for a while; VPN really won't protect me if a 3 letter agency is after me.

It is merely an attempt to obscure myself from ISP and it's tracking.

So even though I'm not fully sold on Windscribe, that's why I'm kind of leaning towards it.

What's Henessay? An online search and the top hits aren't what I think you're referring to.

In defense of Graphene for the first point:

Graphene has a pin scrambler, so the numbers are in a different position everytime you have to enter them.

It isn't hard at all to get used to it, and it circumvents the pattern recognition bit.

Fingerprint unlock...that's a different discussion especially with biometrics not being protected under the law, but for first unlock you always have to enter in a pin

Quickly looking at my phone, you can enter in a passphrase (though personally I think that's too cumbersome). There's also a swipe option, I THINK that might be pattern, but I'm not sure. I can't test it, because it means deleting the already in place measures, and I don't wnat to do that at the moment.

I don't know enough about other points to comment on it.

What clues are there in they syncwire listing that made you think that it's made from tinsel wire. I'm just asking for future use.

I was really interested in this watch and prefer the round shape, but the one feature I really wanted, heart rate sensor, is bizarrely not avalable in this model.

....because it worked so well in 2015? They were led into an unwinnable war for almost a decade.

Why go back now?

I'm running Endeavour OS. Interestingly I just did a fresh install on a machine the other day, but again, I don't see the theme anywhere.
