"The same reason he went to Mexico every year to suck the blood from goats. For kicks."

It’s where I learn everything first

The Linux DLSS panel has grown into a full Proton Upscalers panel — one place to set up DLSS, FSR 4 and XeSS launch options for your Proton/Wine games, whichever GPU you're on:

• DLSS Ray Reconstruction & Frame Generation overrides (NVIDIA) — the panel now covers RR presets and an FG override alongside the existing SR presets, matching the Windows per-game DLSS dialog. New "Latest" and "Preset J" SR choices too. Works on any Proton, including Valve's
• One-toggle DLL upgrades — flip a switch instead of memorising PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE / PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE / PROTON_XESS_UPGRADE. These use the built-in downloaders in GE-Proton, Proton-CachyOS and Proton-EM to keep upscaler DLLs current without touching game files, with optional on-screen indicators to confirm they're active
• FSR 4 on RDNA3 or RDNA4 — the panel detects your GPU and picks the right FSR 4 path, recommending RDNA3 mode automatically on RX 7000 cards
• Per-game validation — select a game and the panel shows which Proton build it actually runs under (read from Steam's own settings) and greys out toggles that build doesn't support, so you can't generate options that silently do nothing on Valve's Proton
• Copy-paste anywhere — output is a standard ENV=... %command% line for Steam's launch options, and the same variables work in Heroic and Lutris environment settings

The "Angry Birds Commando" group said they placed incendiary devices on a railroad between the two busy cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf. The group blamed industrial technology for the destruction of the environment.

...

The "Angry Birds Commando" group, in a letter posted on German left-wing website indymedia.org, said it placed incendiary devices on the railway line between Cologne and Düsseldorf.

A fire was ignited in two places between the German city of Leverkusen and the town of Langenfeld on Friday morning, stopping train operations and causing disruption. Firefighters extinguished the flames but the damage on the track remained.

...

Repair work on the train line is expected to continue through Saturday afternoon. The act of vandalism has caused cancellations and delays, and it's unclear when normal operations will resume.

German dpa news agency cited security sources who suspect the letter is genuine.

Meanwhile, Cologne police say an investigation has been launched and have put out a call for witnesses.

The "Angry Birds Commando" group has claimed responsbility for earlier sabotage, causing disruption on train line used by Deutsche Bahn between the cities of Düsseldorf and Duisdorf in 2025.

Every summer, there are dozens of bumblebees either dead or dying beneath tilia trees (linden/lime/basswood).

Why?

My father once told me (some 20 years ago?) that they die from "overeating". With all due respect to his linden tea (thanks dad🩷🩵🤍), this sounds like folklore...

i recently watched a video of a youtuber named the sunshine feeler where he talks about the mega drive in japan and he said he feels altered beast's concept is underutilized and it made me think about how magician lord takes the same concept and make it for me a more enjoyable experience what do you think about this comperasion?
