Incredible improvements for a codec that was already far ahead. In the same way that JPEG has been given new life by mozjpeg and jpegli, I wonder how far the JPEG-XL codec is going to be stretched by better encoders in the near and far future.

 

(It might be a little too easy though)

Alternatively, is your fursona sufficiently well-designed to avoid instant biological problems? Most foxes are missing their internal organs for example. As for fur, people with pets can attest that your cooking is going to have fur in it and that's just the way it's going to be.

I feel piracy for demo purposes is fully justified if you buy it after you like it. People always say vote with your wallet but it's more like gambling with your wallet if you don't get to see and touch the product before you make the purchase. Giving proper demos should be more common with digital media.

I think about half a year, assuming that's what they mean in this blog post: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-07-code-search-now-requires-login/

This has been happening for a little while now. I've started cloning repos and using local searches instead.

It has a very high opinion of itself.

We are always "losing money" in this sense unless we are buying and selling the optimal assets every day. Even their example of the "winning" S&P 500 is still just an index scooping up all the big losers along with all the big winners. We diversify because we can't pick the winning assets every time, so if you understand the benefits of diversification I feel like the drawbacks are already obvious.

I've seen a trend where people move the goalposts on the reasons they're not able to switch. "If only this program worked I could switch", but when that program is ported it'll be a new excuse next. Sooner or later you'll have to draw a line and say "99% of my stuff works, the 1% that doesn't can get bent".

Are NPCs silent when talking? If so you'll need to install faudio into your Wine prefix with Winetricks. Running with Steam may help a little also but l don't remember if Proton includes faudio by default.

As for the cart crashing that's probably just Skyrim. The opening cutscene is notoriously buggy.

Did you actually apply the crack over top of the original files? You say you're running the executable in the CODEX directory, but the CODEX directory would be where the temporary crack files are, not where the game is expecting them. You can also try installing the latest repack from KaOs, which you can find on 1337x by searching for "skyrim repack kaos". The repack will auto-crack everything so you can be sure that at least that is done correctly.

Just like real life you can also ignore the crime and say "that would take too much effort to solve".

The video is clickbait and a few of the distros are in categories just for dramatic effect. I personally share Chris's criteria for "pointless" distros however, and I hope that his main "clickbait motive" was trying to stop people from hopping around from gimmick distro to gimmick distro when the real magic has always been with the Debian/Arch base underneath the hood. I don't care to give Chris the attention he wants so I'd rather answer your questions instead of talk about the video directly:

I agree that Debian and Arch are "S-tier" distros. Not that they're better than everything else for every usecase but they are very high quality community-run distros with large package bases, and they accomplish their mission statements with ease. If you're a Linux power user for long enough you may eventually settle into one of these two distros because they give you a lot of room to mold your configuration without being opinionated by downstream distro maintainers.

Linux Mint is very good, and it's probably the only "fork distro" that I recommend people use because it makes Debian/Ubuntu very simple and usable for new users, and it's done so for many years with a great track record. I currently run Debian Stable but if you put a gun to my head and said "you can only run Linux Mint from now on" I'd be fine with it. Specifically, I prefer the LMDE edition but the normal version is good too.

You can run cutting-edge gaming stuff on Debian Stable and Linux Mint by using Flatpak Lutris/Steam, which uses its own cutting-edge Mesa package instead of the system's, and you can also install a cutting-edge kernel on these stable distros by using Debian backports or e.g. XanMod. I prefer using stable distros like Debian Stable and pulling cutting-edge versions of your important packages through Flatpak or other means, which gives you a "stable base and rolling top".

I think the general usecase for Arch has diminished from half a decade ago due to Flatpak's popularity, and IMO a stable base setup makes more sense if you can get everything important that you need from Flatpaks. With Arch, not only are the programs you care about bleeding-edge, everything is bleeding-edge, and you may end up with annoying bugs from packages you didn't even know existed.

If you want a more modern version of the Linux desktop without the bleeding-edge of Arch I think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a great cutting-edge distro. They have extensive automatic testing that ensures high system stability even while living near the edge of package freshness. The main downside is OpenSUSE's smaller package base compared to Debian/Arch-based distros.
