I'm currently saving ~$4000 per year that was previously spent on gas. Living in an are with cheap electricity helps a lot, but I would guess that it is worth it for most people, provided they can charge at home.
Such a great release. I love the tonal transition after The Word Becomes Flesh when the album gets a bit less dark. The way it starts with heavy religious samples at the start of the album and transitions to a somewhat different tone through that track is just incredible work.
It sucks that we had no realistic (as in actually able to win) alternative. Not exactly thrilled with him, but he is clearly better than the other possible leader we could have been stuck with.
I once had a dream that I went with my family to visit an old family friend (not seen in years) for dinner, but they lived in a different (i.e fictional) house that I had never been to before. Normally this wouldn't seem strange but when I woke up and told another adult family member, they looked completely shocked. It turns out they had also dreamt of this exact same scenario that night set in the same fictional house. We could describe the setting and events in detail and both had exactly the same experience but from different perspectives in the dream.
I have no doubt there is some psychological explanation for this phenomenon but regardless it was quite an interesting experience.
I run MSFS 2024 using proton on Linux, and have had reasonable success running other native windows addons (BeyondATC, opentrack for head tracking with webcam) in the same proton prefix by installing using protontricks then launching them all using the "exe.xml" trick for MSFS (see: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/start-multiple-programs-on-msfs-startup-with-this-exe-xml-tip/350698). I just do manual keybinds for my hardware inside the sim and it all works well, as a bonus performance seems a bit higher than on Windows.
Already was planning on never buying Intel due to their ties with American government and having a fab in Israel, so go ahead Intel, dig that hole a little deeper.
It's really good from a compatibility perspective (i.e. most games at least will run) but there are still a few performance edge cases that have more to do with Linux than proton itself. For example, ray tracing for AMD performs significantly worse than on Windows unfortunately (I get ~45 FPS for CP2077 on my 9070 XT vs ~55 FPS on Windows with the same settings). Rasterization is a different story, and some games actually outperform Windows in this area. Another area which is a little annoying is dealing with games that require extra related programs running alongside them. I run Microsoft Flight Simulator (which performs great using proton) however it is a little tedious getting all the add-on software to start inside the same proton prefix, the same story is true for dealing with mod managers in other games.
The NixOS user in this scenario would be asking who is sponsoring the date.
I like to include memtest in my boot menu:
You can also use it with grub:
Goldberg Variations. In particular, the 1981 recording played by Glenn Gould.
Same thing here, especially those trucks with the ridiculous mud tires which I'm guessing must get horrible mileage at highway speed.

CDN$ 89.99... I will maybe enjoy playing this in a few years.
In my riding the NDP got 3.5% of the vote. I would absolutely prefer an NDP government but they were never going to win in my riding.

wired > 2.4 ghz > Bluetooth
There are limitations that make Bluetooth annoying to deal with (unable to interact with BIOS using a Bluetooth keyboard for instance)
The first time you do a presentation and forget how to add an external display, that was what made me stick with a full DE.
How to backup their home directory, even if it is a basic method like mounting an external drive and drag and dropping files.

Navidrome is great if you are looking for a self-hosted web streaming alternative.
I don't have any friends.
Ironically the easiest way to play Fallout 3 these days is on Linux via Proton where it works perfectly.

And the best part is that this is driven by economics, not even policy at this point. Renewables are cheaper.
