I honestly don't want to leave windows. I did use linux for years and I don't want to tinker with my OS or my applications anymore. And you're right SteamOS isn't a general purpose OS. My comment was more in the hopes that if it were pushed out like that, that MS would respond with more consumer friendly approaches to the desktop so I wouldn't HAVE to switch again and deal with the jank. And there will be jank. I know a lot of games work now with proton but how about the Affinity Suite? I found a github that describes how to set up the process in like 18 easy steps so you can begin to install a custom wine for it and just like no I don't want to do that. I want to just keep using my pc that works with the OS I actually paid money for and not get harvested. I am so tired.
Well, if Sam "Liar" Altman said it, it must be true! AI can solve climate change for us AND allow us to keep burning as much fossil fuels as the industry wants us to!
What the heck am I going to do when win10 stops getting security patches? I really wish Valve would open up SteamOS to desktops in a public and supported way. That kind of pressure from valve has forced MS to play nice to users in the past. Anyone remember MS demanding that all software for Win8 be sold through the MS store only? And Valve said, fine we'll make our own OS, with blackjack! And Hookers! And steam machines became a thing. Noone bought them. But it didn't matter. It was enough pressure for MS to open up to having 3rd party storefronts again. I feel like we need this again. Also, if linux played nice with anti cheat, and discord I would probably be fine ditching windows but as it stands I'd miss out on playing games with my friends.
Anyway. Privacy Nightmare AI tool bad.
I haven't quite checked off cocaine addicts yet.. but I think every other box may or may not be at least somewhat applicable.
This is an awesome bit of news to hear! Good job Thailand!
my adhd is too strong atm, is there a tl;dr for the tl;dr?
If you are happy with the performance you get out of your existing hardware then you are happy with it.
subverted or working as intended?
It's going to depend very much on the features that your daughter used in capcut and what she will need. If it's their "AI" tools and tiktok filters, probably not. If someone knows of foss projects that have those I'd love to hear about them!
If she just needs a video editor that's free and powerful kdenlive is much simpler than getting into something like davinci resolve (which I would never recommend as a first step unless someone was very passionate about the editing process itself) and will give her the power to do pretty much anything you'd want, outside of proprietary filters or simple one-click tools.
Openshot seems fairly similar to kdenlive, maybe a little simpler. Check it out if that might work for you. I've never used it and can't compare.
Another one I have not used but is again MUCH simpler with fewer features but this may be a plus actually is Vidcutter. It looks like what I might imagine a FOSS version of Windows Movie Maker might be. Just drag clips in, cut them, mash them together, export. Simple, but not anything fancy.
So in order of least experience and desire to learn the software needed to most, I would recommend Vidcutter, then Openshot, then Kdenlive.
In order of the potential quality and variety of projects possible it's directly inverse.
Unless your daughter knows what ACES and REC 709 means then maybe point her toward Davinci.
It's not even fundamentally possible with the current LLMs. It's like saying "Yes, it's totally possible to do that! We just need to invent something that can do that first!"
This is not surprising in the least from the organization that brought us such amazing hits as "Cigarettes aren't bad for you! Doctors recommend them!" when cigarette companies discovered their products give you cancer and "Climate change isn't real! Invest in big oil!" when it became clear we couldn't keep just burning fossil fuels forever. If there's a take that is bad for people, the heritage foundation is there to promote the worst.
I once watched a youtube video where someone built a rig to explore this very question
Remove parking minimums, replace surface parking with greenspace, encourage transit usage over driving a car. The first two are pretty low hanging fruit. OR THEY SHOULD BE.
lol thanks, these are just some memes me and friends have collected in discord over the years haha. I'd put more but it's giving me errors now
I'm looking to be able to store assets that I've created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I'm doing a commission I can filter out the "personal use only" assets available. As the primary use is for visual arts assets, large preview images would be perfect. Teeny tiny icons not nearly as useful when browsing through image elements to find something you like.
I'm really looking for a self hosted option, ideally one with a docker container available but I could also spin up a virtual machine to host it if required.
Does anyone know of something that would fit the bill?
E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.
Disaster preparedness should be a much bigger consideration in our infrastructure and built environment.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to add the summoner archetype to a character AFTER you've unlocked it. I have already gone through that ordeal and can select the summoner as a new character. But I'd like to add the summoner to a new gunslinger and don't know if the grimoire might be available in the ward. I hope it is! But I suspect it is not.
Edit: As luck would have it, and it is fantastically lucky, I ended up getting a bloodmoon immediately after posting this question. In case you are wondering about how to unlock it, here's what I know
spoiler
You can look up guides on how to unlock the class and that's easy enough. You need to craft an item at an altar, and it is going to cost you blood moon essence which you can farm from wisps that spawn during a blood moon. What you don't find online is how to actually spawn the blood moon. I do not have good news here. It seems random and extremely rare. I have tried killing the doe as suggested. No bloodmoon. Travelling back and forth between the ward and yeasha, no bloodmoon. Just walking through doors. No bloodmoon. I did this for hours. SO. It seems like getting the bloodmoon is rare and just pure luck until someone can figure out the mechanics of it.
BUT if you do get a bloodmoon harvest the wisps as fast as you can, and then go through a doorway into a dungeon. Not the crystal, you don't want to reset the monsters. Just go through a yellow loading door and back and the wisps will respawn. Farm up as many as you can. You need 15 for the class and then there's an armour set if you want to go for it. I don't remember how much all that is because I've never managed to farm up enough wisps lol. For this character I just happened into a bloodmoon and there weren't many wisps spawned in. I only saw three, so I just kept moving into the dungeon and back to respawn those three wisps until the bloodmoon was over.
Anyway, I found a lot of guessing online, most of it wrong, about this so at least I can provide some experience. Good luck and good hunting!

PSVR 2 on PC project gets SteamVR output working - but without tracking, and custom adapter will be required.
TLDR; there's no tracking and it requires a piece of hardware in between the psvr2 and pc. But they got past one major technical hurdle.
"Bike theft isn't just a nuisance. It's a serious problem plaguing almost every city in the world, and it stifles bike-friendliness, discourages people from riding, fuels crime and undermines our sense of community. Yet almost no cities are doing anything to seriously tackle the problem. "
This is a great video from Shifter about the benefits of bicycle registries. If you cycle in an area with a bike theft problem, chances are the police recover a lot more bikes than they can ever return because they simply have no way of knowing who to give the bike back to. One tool you can use to protect your bike is to register your bike with a service that the police are able to access. Tom's video focuses on Project 529 Garage in Canada, but there are similar services worldwide. There's a list here on wikipedia.
Good luck out there!
You may know the actor Nick Offerman as the gruff city parks director Ron Swanson on the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation or from his turn as the survivalist Bill on the HBO series The Last of Us, but he also has a lot to say about how people get around, share public space, and relate to nature. In his book Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside, Nick takes a wry and philosophical approach to our stewardship of Planet Earth, the value of working with one’s hands, and the many problems with the massive agricultural systems on which we all depend. Nick Offerman joins The War on Cars to talk about his experience biking for transportation in New York City and Los Angeles, his views on masculinity and conspicuous consumption, and why the best way to explore an unfamiliar city is at the speed of a good walk.

From a Vancouver Island fire hall to a Kootenay city hall to a Vancouver elementary school, subsidized housing above community amenities is poised to see massive growth.
The City of Montreal announced Tuesday that it would develop over four dozen projects aimed at expanding and improving the metropolis's bike path network. The 53 projects estimated to cost $30 million will develop and upgrade 59.1 kilometres in the cycling network, spanning 14 boroughs and four othe...
$30 million dollars goes so much further on active transport infrastructure than it would on cars!
A federal judge says Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional. In a ruling late Friday, U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker wrote that the law was both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad” and encouraged “discriminatory enf...
