It only started taking more than one day recently. My conspiracy theory is that it is so we have to watch the news for three days instead, which makes them a ton of money.

What exactly is better about tar.gz over zip?

I tend to prefer zip because of cross compatibility with Windows with no extra software needed, and because the Windows software to unpackage a tar.gz that I have used required unpacking it twice (once for the gz, then again for the tar). It seemed like a hassle.

On Linux I command line everything, so they are the same to me, so I have no preference there. But is there something actually better about it?

Please elaborate. I must know this story.

You can add emojis to your WiFi name. I don't recommend this because low tech devices will almost certainly not be compatible. But it might help with your apology.

Lmao, at my job, if they don't understand, they just block the device from the network. Even if they do give you an exception, you'll still get blocked. They are actually more strict about Linux devices. I have a Linux vm that I do most of my work on. It exists in an ESXi somewhere. The ESXi gets inventoried, so they still know about my VM.

It's sad.

This movie is amazing. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch it as soon as physically possible. It has romance movie elements, but is very much also comedy/adventure movie.

But that's what's so weird. Initially I could see everything, and then it all disappeared a day later. And it seems like everyone else can see what's there, just not me.

The latest version is 0.34, and even though it was released almost a week ago, it still isn't on Google Play AFAIK. Google Play has a vetting process that takes time. It's to make sure people aren't putting malware on their store. I ended up uninstalling from Google Play and installed from GitHub. It's less safe, as someone could theoretically sneak malware into the codebase, but I guess I like to live dangerously.

I was reading that the Phantom Liberty DLC is going to improve the base game as well. Would you recommend waiting until Phantom Liberty releases to play the base game, or just play it now?

I really hope Microsoft is working on this. Either a way to use gamepass with Steam, or (more likely) a game pass launcher/storefront for Linux. They seem to be playing nice with the Steam Deck so far (e.g. getting Halo TMCC multiplayer to work on the stema deck), so I'm hoping it's just a matter of time.

It seems that there isn't a clear consensus on that. But for me personally, I loved every Halo game Bungie made, and I have hated every game since 343 took over. I even hated the changes 343 made to Reach after they took over.

Halo 5 had fun multiplayer, but the story was the absolute worst. I still haven't played Halo Infinite's story, tbh. But I do feel like Infinite's multiplayer is trending in the right direction now that Forge maps hit the community and we have more than 5 maps.

This seems to be one of the most common questions. To me that means that this should be a priority to fix if it is affecting so many people.
