That seems like a great idea for a community. My only concern would be about distro-specific things. When you talk about "switching to Linux", you're really talking about "switching to the Linux kernel with about 1500 additional packages that form your actual experience". The flexibility is the best part, but i know it can be daunting for the new user.
This is also where we get a lot of distribution fights and pedantic arguments - there's a lot of ways to do things, and folks love to argue for their preferred method. What complicates things further is that the nuances are both important and irrelevant. There's atomic vs traditional, deb vs rpm (and the seemingly hundreds of package managers), systemv vs systemd, gnome vs KDE, X vs Wayland, and even recently lutris vs heroic vs faugus, and each of those is fine to use but will force you to do things a specific way that could make certain edge cases difficult or impossible to manage.
Honestly, I'd love to see a comm like this, and I'd love to contribute, but it would be to be pretty heavily moderated to avoid a lot of the pointless arguments that would derail the conversions
I'm not the most financially savvy person, but I'm wondering if they'll pass based on fiduciary duty rules. It would be pretty tough to prove violation for something like this, but the question is whether or not they even want to open themselves up to the possibility. I guess it depends on how close they think the bubble is to bursting and if they think they can justify the risk with potential earnings
To be fair, the city itself hasn't done much to encourage people to stick around. There's lots of stuff to do here, especially if you're just visiting, but I've not seen any real push to advertise anything
The wife and I just finished Brockmire. Honestly, I didn't have much faith in the show premise (drug-and-booze-fueled misadventures of a washed up baseball announcer), and the last season was weird, but it was a surprisingly entertaining show if you just roll with it and don't expect award-winning plot development. It was kind of like if Ted Lasso had been written by a 22 year old manchild. That said, the characters were fun, showed some growth, and even tackled a difficult issue or two, even if there wasn't a ton of depth.

You can just keep stringing the additional terms that you want excluded. I'm sure there's some limit but you probably won't hit it
Edit: apparently either lemmy or boost doesn't like percent signs. Or URL encoding for that matter. The first part should be (percent character)s, and the plus signs should be (percent character)20. Though the + will probably work as-is depending on how your browser does things
Yeah but even when you do that, the shuffle is still garbage. What i think is happening is that they're loading the first X entries in the Playlist and passing that to the (bad) shuffle algorithm instead of passing the whole Playlist first. Then when it gets towards the end of X, it does the same thing with the next chunk. I can't imagine that it saves that much money but it tracks with both what I see and the general trends of enshitification
Spotify shuffle has been awful for a very long time. I've had the same experience more times than I can count (shuffling the Playlist gives you the same order for the first 10-20 songs). I've also noticed in my case that if I have a very long Playlist (like 300+ songs), I never hear anything but the same 70 or so. I have my theories but I can't prove anything
You specifically referenced the media pack, which in win 11 looks like it's packaged as a pseudo Windows Store application. You also said Windows N, which is a different case (and the reason you even need it in the first place). I get the EU/GDPR thing, and yeah it's probably a pain, but you said "doesn't offer offline installers for anything relate to Windows 11 anymore", without qualifying that is your specific niche case. Have you tried K-Lite? Do kids even use that anymore?
This would be a perfectly valid point if the vegetables weren't also making people shit themselves to death. I miss having safe food.
Well, he ain't really dead
He's a graduate
If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die
This 100% sounds like the next big Manga that gets turned into a 4-season anime
With the Apple tax, I'd expect 1.5TB to run you closer to $200k. Enterprise prices are that high today, so if trends continue it's going to be bad

For a truly low-attention game, I suggest ProgressQuest. As a bonus, it runs great on Linux, too!
The absolute glut of ai slop books on Amazon would seem to indicate otherwise
Oh man, I hadn't thought about Dragon's Egg in years - thanks for the nostalgia bump

That's a whole different story...UWP apps offline for an EU build is a "best of luck to you, pal" thing
I'm as anti-M$ as anyone, but this just isn't true. The windows update catalog still exists for offline patches
