Not here to start a debate but I feel you on the Systemd thing. I don’t really understand why all the hate.

Also I literally JUST purchased a clear umbrella from Family Mart last night… are they really so poorly made that they break easy?! I was hoping to get more than “a few uses” out of it 😰

I was actually curious about the same thing but I guess while they're owned by a Japanese conglomerate, they were/are Canadian based? From their Wikipedia page:

Rakuten Kobo Inc., or simply Kobo, is a Canadian company that sells ebooks, audiobooks, e-readers and formerly tablet computers. It is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is a subsidiary of the Japanese e-commerce conglomerate Rakuten. The name Kobo is an anagram of book.

It appears as though it is...

But saying it pings their servers isn't quite a fair statement as it's not some background service that opens a network connection, it sounds to me at least like it's data that is sent to the Fedora repos once a week when you update your system?

Clients (DNF, PackageKit, …) have been modified so they add a countme variable in their requests to mirrors.fedoraproject.org once a week. This ends up in our webserver log data which lets us generate usage statistics.

Would be glad to be corrected on this though as I am a long time Fedora user now and I'm not overly fond of my data being collected by big corpo; it's why I left Windows in the first place 🙄

Actually I disagree. Using a Steam Deck docked in desktop mode I was able to run out of memory by playing Minecraft while having one browser tab open (YouTube) and Discord.

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the SteamDeck's 16GB of LPDDR5 is both VRAM and system memory and the Steam Deck dynamically allocates it based on need.

And that's before we even consider doing something wacky like using the Steam Deck for Dev work or 3D modeling or other more "normal computer" uses.

Hey uh... I don't think the Pixiv Source is pointing to the right place? The Pixiv post you linked does not contain this artwork from what I saw. Additionally, when I go to the profile from the linked Pixiv post and click on their twitter, it also links to a different twitter.

OP I think your Twitter/Tumblr sources are correct but the Pixiv one I'd give another look 😅

Various messages in the ongoing “Canada Invasion” Signal thread include: • plans to invade Vancouver and Toronto simultaneously, “because they’re right next to each other” • a refusal to include Danielle Smith in the text chain due to the Alberta Premier “being too pick-me”

I’m howling 🤣🤣🤣
