I ran into the same issue you did. No verification email, and my login credentials won't work on the app or on the website.

Carl Richell (System76 CEO) mentioned at the Ubuntu Summit that they're expecting a Beta in January or February.

Wars are won by killing the enemy and breaking their stuff. By capturing and controlling land, means of production, supply and transport lines, and so on, you impose your will on your enemy and remove the capability for them to do the same to you.

Drones will be used to destroy enemy assets, take out ground troops, and maintain control of of the above mentioned resources. You'll never just have one drone army meet another on an open field, that's not even how human soldiers fight anymore.

I'm hoping to start. Although I still don't really post, I comment way more on Lemmy/Mastodon than when I used Reddit, because I want the platforms to grow.

It helped me tremendously in college, and I still use it today, both for past knowledge retention, as well as learning some new things. It is an incredible tool.

As far as the learning curve goes, I would recommend this: just use it as is. You can dive down a rabbit hole of optimizing your learning approach and adding the right extensions, but that time is better spent just studying what you want to learn.

Use the Cloze format, keep cards limited to a couple sentences at most, and practice daily for a couple minutes, and you can't go wrong.

Given the ridiculously low prices of all Steam Deck models, I imagine that the main revenue for Valve is mainly from increased game sales rather than profit from their hardware. If that's the case, it makes sense to see Steam OS on as many devices as possible, even if they compete directly with the Steam Deck.

That being said, I'm just excited by any decision that puts Linux in front of more users.

The nice thing about limiting my social media presence to Lemmy and Mastodon is that I haven't seen their marketing slop anywhere.

I have been so anxious to get the full release, but I am really happy that this is Carl's outlook. As much as I wish it was done already, I have to realize its a small group of developers, and I'd rather it be released when ready, as opposed to rushed out the door to fit a timeline.

In the near to mid future, I think an answer to this question are Internal Combustion Engines. I love electric vehicles and look forward to the tech improving. But the sheer coolness factor of moving a large machine through perfectly timed and calibrated explosions is tough to beat.

I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, its much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.

I have the Framework 13 and am currently running the COSMIC alpha on Pop!_OS. I love my current setup, but have tried Fedora Kinoite as well, and also had a great experience. Apart from running a few commands to get the fingerprint reader working, I haven't really had to troubleshoot anything. Its been a solid experience from Day 1.

Its still in alpha, and is feature incomplete, but I am already blown away by the performance and ease of use. I figured there's no better way to help the process along than build some apps for it!
