For gaming on Linux the only major release I can think of that I feel like I'm missing out on running exclusively Linux on my PC is Marathon, and that's not a Linux/WINE problem but that Bungie hates FOSS and people who use it. The new Resident Evil, Toxic Commando, Nioh 3, even MH all run as expected on my hardware.

Assuming we can get RAM and video cards in a couple years, Anti-cheat will be the next big hurdle for Linux, and I dunno if multiplayer is worth whatever that solution looks like if it's giving kernel level access to a game studio and their publisher that have no business with that kind of access.

Use your local public library to read books for free.

The Epstein class is the only class that is sufficiently organized. The rest of us are woefully behind until they can never wield power again.

This is exactly why you kick the one guy with the Nazi ink out of your bar

I guess these guys missed what happened to the ICC justices who got out of line with the US and subsequently had their modern lives deleted when Microsoft and Google turned all their shit off. Won't be talking so tough when they can't even login to their email.

Mad respect that Larry didn't put his thumb on the scale and give her any followers, even though it would be trivial for TikTok to do.

This was Fake News that was corrected: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/11/gmail-is-reading-your-emails-and-attachments-to-train-its-ai-unless-you-turn-it-off

Google is a terrible company and has countless crimes to pay for, don't need to manufacture anything else or scare people needlessly.

If you had a negative reaction to the idea though, you should probably still switch email providers. As others are saying, it's just a matter of time before Google does get more aggressive pushing AI, abusing your data, and drowning you in more shit.

Updating accounts and migrating email from accounts that are over 20 years old sucked ass, but it feels great to be out of Google, save for YouTube.

It was billed as a miniseries so technically yes. There was some chatter about adapting the second book but that seems unlikely so also yes.

The TV adaptation is great. I wish I could watch it without knowing anything about it again.

Hang in there comrade.

Yeah, we don't have to worry about bombs dropping on our heads, but we're one injury away from ruin or looking over our shoulder for one snapped coworker or student with a military grade rifle. We have no real safety net besides what we can stitch together ourselves. Don't be afraid to ask for aid. The best thing those of us in the heart of empire can do is help ourselves and help each other. Being ready to act, and having those around us also ready to act is more important than acting prematurely.
