You managed to include the ~~misery~~ (Freudian slip?) most important info in a short space. F#$k Comcast, indeed. Happy customer of municipal fiber here.

Watch the L8Wrtr edits of the prequel trilogy, then the Despecialized versions of the OG trilogy. Some say to watch in release order. I don't think it matters as much as watching the content as it was originally created, and without the stupid fluff in the prequel trilogy.
But MS changes the layout every new release. LibreOffice is customizable, and stays the way you choose.
Gonna need that math co-processor
For OP's sake, I'll add that many, many games in steam can be jiggered to work in compatibility mode on Linux. Its as simple as telling steam to use compatibility mode on all games, and checking proton.db for tricks.
With Heroic launcher, Epic, Amazon Prime (untested for me) and GoG too.
The only games I have so far been unable to play are Fortnite and an obscure FPS I forget rn, both with EAC.
WINE is the last thing I try after these easy solutions.
Ahh yes, the first one. I thought they were the same, and the second one was zoomed in for my old eyes.
Weighing in at over 9,600 URLs, hidden deep inside is one of our URLs which, according to the notice, should be disappeared by Google for the remainder of eternity, for violating copyright law.
That article contains no copyrighted material apart from our own, and doesn’t link to any infringing content either.
It's not a link to the track, but their own reporting on the leak.
Now do more countries!
To borrow heavily from the ideas of Glyn Moody (grab a free copy of one of his books here), I would first address what I believe to be a false premise.
The question assumes that piracy is a fixed reality, and that the goal is to find ways to monetize software despite its existence. But what if we flip that assumption on its head? What if, instead of trying to fight piracy, we design business models that make piracy irrelevant?
The software industry's failure to adapt to the realities of the digital age is a stark reminder of its own inertia. For too long, it has relied on a broken business model that treats customers as mere consumers, rather than as active participants in the creation and dissemination of value.
Instead of trying to prop up the concept of artificial scarcity, the industry should be embracing the abundance of the digital realm. This means recognizing that software is not a physical product, but a flow of information that can be easily copied and shared.
One approach is to focus on providing services and support around the software, rather than just the software itself. This could include offering subscription-based models, where users pay for access to regular updates, security patches, and expert advice. It could also involve creating communities and ecosystems around the software, where users can collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to the development process.
Another approach is to adopt open-source principles, where the software is freely available, and revenue is generated through customization, integration, and consulting services. This not only reduces the incentive for piracy but also creates a more collaborative and transparent development process.
Ultimately, the software industry needs to stop fighting the tide of technological progress and start embracing the opportunities it presents. By doing so, it can create new business models that are more resilient, more equitable, and more aligned with the values of the digital age.

Recently built a PC for my partner to replace their 11+ year old Xbox. I thought they'd be able to use the Xbox windows app to play their purchased titles. But no. Microsoft wants you to subscribe to play games you own on your PC. No more money going to them. Guess that's what they want...
