The question was asking if there were any non e2ee text apps.

I think anyone who's tried one of these games or is the parent of someone who's tried one of these games figures out this loophole (or alternatively , predatory practice) pretty quickly.

Not a chronic weed smoker, but how does weed help? Does it fulfill the same need?

And isn't this just trading lung health instead (and throat health, though I imagine alcohol isn't great for your throat either)

I think in terms of actually doing stuff AMD is close in terms of power draw (W/performance) but it's the little things like going to sleep and while completely idle that the entire MacBook draws so little power that needs to catch up -- and that's not entirely on the processor.

Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

Well you have to state why it wasn't good. It was incredibly region-dependent, but if you live near one of their endpoints the latency wasn't noticeable and the quality was great, as it was for me.

In the end I got to play a bunch of games for free, and have an extra controller I still use, so there's that. They made us whole, at least, after they shut down (I even imported my into the breach save game into Steam with Google takeout after)

By some definition. They have always been usable to some degree because I think animators or something use Linux commercially on Nvidia, and for gpgpu they are still top class on linux (nothing comes close)

They haven't always been the best for gaming or desktop (Wayland) use though, since Intel and AMD opened up their drivers.

Arguably in my experience Nvidia has been far less buggy for the last 30+ years on x11, and with this change they may have finally reached parity on Wayland, haven't tried it myself.

I never wait around while the car is charging (generally only charge at home), but this has been useful for waiting to board a ferry, actually being in the car on a ferry, and waiting for road closures to clear.

I also do have a steam deck, and this is basically the same thing but with a bigger screen.

I guess you and I just have different tastes. I don't think I've watched 1 hour+ videos that were just repeating, but the only ones I've watched that are that long are Dan Olson and Super Eyepatch Wolf.

With those I intend to watch half now and watch half later, but end up engaged enough to just watch them through in a single sitting

Just never read the comments.

Can anyone recommend one? I honestly haven't played one since slay the spire, and loved it. My wife didn't enjoy the music after a few hundred hours so I stopped playing a few years ago.
