Generally the professor in charge of the research group.

Going back even older... Mysterious Cities of Gold. That's never been remade or adapted...

They actually resumed the story directly in a sequel series in 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold_(2012_TV_series)

Is BotBall still a thing? They had that (waaay) back when I was in high school, at least.

Congrats. I groaned IRL.

Hmm. So... how long do you think before we start seeing news stories about their DRM servers getting hit with DDOS attacks (or other network fuckery) and no one being able to play their PS4/PS5 games? 😛️

Better out-of-the-box text-to-speech voices would be very welcome. The defaults are pretty painfully robotic... (Try spd-say "Hello world" if you don't know what I mean.)

Trivial to use on-device dictation software could also be useful.

The capabilities of models like qwen3.6 to do things like on-device image analysis are pretty incredible if you have hardware capable of running it -- I've run it on a Framework Desktop -- but I have no desire to expose my systems directly to AI agents. That's just asking for trouble... If an AI agent can fuck up, it will fuck up eventually, and I'd rather it not have the ability to delete my files when it does.

Probably hundreds of millions or billions if you include things like washing machines, dish washers, automated gates, garage openers, etc. that automate specific tasks. Just the read/write arms in hard disks alone is probably a staggeringly huge number, if we're counting things like that...

Based on what I see on my Steam Deck (not sure on Bazzite specifics), it looks like the WINE prefixes are stored in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata

I think the number in each folder name is the game's steam ID, which makes it a bit cryptic. You can probably find that ID by running grep -i "name of game" *.acf in the steamapps folder. The files are named like appmanifest_STEAMID.acf, if I understand how this works correctly. You might also just be able to search for the file you're looking for directly though if you know what the name is inside the prefix and it's distinct enough.

Glad you got outside and were able to get things sorted out without too much trouble! Having gone from "complete shut-in" back to "goes outside at least once in a while" myself, I will say it gets easier the more you do it.

Not really. I'm just in kind of a snarky mood. 😛️

So, my taxes are paying for this, huh? Do I get to watch the movie for free then? 🤨️

At this point, it's been down long enough that setting up a Unix Surrealism community somewhere else is reasonable, IMO.
