Mint is better IMHO, it’s based on Ubuntu which is in turn based on Debian, but includes quality of life improvements and newer packages. Debian is nice for servers, but I would get something that is stable but still has faster updates for my desktop
I remember seeing a version of snake that runs on a car dashboard as an easter egg (like, literal dashboard, tiny screen where the gas milage is shown)
It doesn’t need wifi though, PlayStation portal does. But yeah, the second screen was a questionable idea - too hard to implement in an interesting way, makes all local multiplayer games asymmetrical, makes porting difficult… Even Nintendo gave up
Really cute, has some rough edges and the performance on deck isn't stellar (30-40fps in the main menu), but it's a great looking project. Hopefully it will get updated to be even better
What would be better for desktop use? It’s simple, with wizards and help for setting up almost everything, has support for all the ubuntu stuff like ppas and deb packages so if there is a linux package for some software you are usually covered, and it also doesn’t restrict you from doing whatever you want, so you can change it to your liking (and at least there is a stable base that you start changes from)
Even when people were saying that MS turned a new leaf and that they are better at managing all the studios that they buy, and that they’ll make more better games for Game Pass to be a success, I knew that this was coming. Microsoft has been nothing but consistent in this one thing: it’ll pivot hard in one direction, pour tons of green into it, hire the best people, and then fire everyone and abandon the idea forever.
Zune, Windows Phones, Kinect, and now I guess XBOX. Well, looks like it lived long enough.
historically nobody noticed when you didn’t clean up a machine-translated subtitle
I don’t know about that, it’s super noticeable when that happens, it’s just that it mostly affects languages other than English, so it did not get noticed by Western media unless there is a review bombing campaign after a particularly atrocious localization
Humans are very good at convincing ourselves and finding excuses. I’m convincing myself that my cat would be out there destroying the ecosystem and making more cats, but now it mostly chills home, castrated, but well treated. And vegan pet foods are not possible for my circumstances so we’ll have to buy the food we think will better support him.
Still, it’s all a point of contention, and you can understand why.
Get a B12 supplement, maybe Omega (DHA type), install Happy Cow or Vegan Maps, or both (and maybe some local alternatives, like some cities have vegan delivery apps), on your phone to see vegan places around. Oreos are accidentally vegan, chips depend on flavor, lactose free milk is not vegan. Honey is not vegan for a lot of different reasons that were hard for me to internalize and one that was not: honey bees are not native pollinators for a lot of flowers and regions, and are forcing the native pollinators out of business. It’s like what would happen if every bird was replaced with free-range chickens.
Eggs are not vegan because the conditions are horrible and even when they are not, the gender for new generation of egg laying chickens is checked after birth, by “sexing” the chicks. And the male chicks go into a shredder to become cat good I guess.
Cat food and owning cats (or dogs, or pet chickens) is a difficult topic you should rather not raise. There are vegan pet foods but availability and prices vary a lot.
Don’t expect miraculous health benefits. A bit better heart health, a bit lower blood pressure and a smaller cancer risks are hard to actually notice even if they are shown to be present in studies. Better bowel movement if nice though if you actually start eating more veggies and not just continue eating (vegan) junk food.
And remember that the definition of “vegan” is what is “possible and practicable” so don’t beat yourself up for buying a shampoo without checking if it was peta approved or getting pills and finding out they have gelatin cases. The nightmare world we live in doesn’t always make it practicable to live a 100% pure life.
Oh, and be prepared to see your opinion of peta to change for the better the first time you try to explain to someone why you are vegan (or worse - try to convince them to reduce consumption of meat, milk, eggs and other animal products). Most people don’t even know cows need to be pregnant and give birth before they can start giving milk, and it seems impossible to convince them even of this one simple fact.
