One of my favorites. RIP Trevor Moore.

I wish I could do this in real life. I've seen two in my city and they're visually arresting.

This is the real deal...

Basically, yeah. If your game is in a playable state, launching in early access allows devs to get feedback from the community, who help shape the game all the way to the full release. Generally EA games are discounted, with the expectation that it isn't finished or polished, full of bugs, etc.

What's wrong with Pass? Genuine question.

The web browser thing seems like such a waste, especially when privacy-focused browsers already exist and can even integrate their suite of apps pretty easily.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on it in some capacity. They've done well with Linux support so far.

What a fascinating character he is. Again, thanks for sharing and I'm sorry you had to deal with this nonsense. At least you got a good story out of it!

Absolutely insane read. Thanks for sharing, although I'm still very stuck on Phillip's personality. It sounds like he was rather inclusive, yet was a real shitbag outside the table?

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn't detect my laptop's wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I'm now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.

My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.

There is a long-standing history of using fried chicken and watermelon (among other foods) to negatively depict Black People in the United States. I agree that both foods are excellent (watermelon even being a popular summertime fruit that can feed a lot of people), but having them together on Juneteenth (a day of celebration for the freedom of Black People) is pretty on the nose.

I know a few people who work for companies that acknowledge and give time off for Juneteenth. My company is not such a company, though.

Spectrum, even, treats Juneteenth like any other federal holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving. It's basically a volunteer-first, lottery system for who gets time off and who has to work, but those that work get extra holiday pay and the call centers try and do something extra (like catering) for those that are working.
