Correct! And I appreciate the recommendation. I'm an XFCE4 man (sorry. It is just what I've been using for decades) and I think I could probably get that GNOME library running on that environment.

Can I post a potentially controversial opinion? I think that the 'Game Bar' feature that Win11 has now is actually kinda good. It has really come a long, long way since Windows Gaming for PC. I think that whenever I switch to Linux, I would probably seek out something similarly as elegant.

I'm really not far off. Once my Tiny11 install breaks, it's on to Bazzite.

If it makes y'all feel any better, it was legally pretty difficult to brew any kind of distilled liquor in the US following Prohibition until, like, 2010. America's iconic alcohol products tend to be produced in places where there has been a traditional carve-out — at least on the East Coast, blue laws reign supreme.

Y'all have an entire Canada to make cannabis and liquor in. You have a real head start compared to us; you will find a way to replace American Whiskey, rum, gin, or beer in no time flat. Could be time for Canada to enjoy a Renaissance of importing foreign and exotic liquors, like soju or araqi.

All those fun little cultural benefits were only meant to keep people at the office for longer spans of time, away from their families, and always ready for work. These bureaucratic structures are just the natural state of any public company that has to answer to feduciary duty.

Tech isn't dead, nor is it done. It is just going to not be very profitable for a while, which will likely mean that a lot of us won't be working on it for a while.

That, and, y'know, actually showing up for each other instead of relentlessly torturing other men for having the gall to express any emotions beyond the two approved ones, laughter and rage.

FWIW, this is why AI researchers have been screeching for decades not to create an AI that is anthropomorphized. It is already an issue we have with animals, now we are going to add a confabulation engine to the ass-end?
