I think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to "win" be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.

More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn't need to "beat" Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE's that anyone wants to make.

It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it's not up to Pop_OS to do that, it's up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.

Wow! Spoilers much?! I can't believe they spoiled the "Beer Ending" in the trailer...

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

I'll check the ffmpeg settings. Thanks.

I saw that in the docs. I am only interested in encoding in AV1. My CPU is a 5900x so it's decent enough at decoding. I'll check ffmpeg settings.

The real issue with QWACS is the idea that the EU government requires them to be added to web browsers running in the EU. It's bad enough that France and Germany can issue those certificates but imagine Erdogan's government pushing them out.

It's not like any politician knows how the Internet works and that someone who knows better couldn't rip those certificates out, but the tyranny of the default means that governments will have more control over EU citizens browsing. That's not something likely to benefit anyone.

No! Not our MSI! Not the same folks who strongarmed reviewers to prevent them publishing a bad review, or scalping video cards during the pandemic or the ones that released defective AIO coolers and then half-assed the recall.

Say it isn't so!
