Luckily I don't play a lot of big title shooters anymore.

Haha, for non-gaming I already have. The main gaming PC has always been Windows ever since trying gaming on Linux over a decade ago. Been having no issues though lately on my laptop I use for travel. So it's probably time.

When EOL for 10 happens I'm making the full move to Fedora

The first was simply amazing. Yeah the second got a bit cringey with him just all around perfect and banging everyone. But we do have a flawed narrator so I'm hoping it was something like that. Really just hate that not only will we probably never get the ending but Rothfuss seems to be an ass about it. Even blowing off the charity chapter, and then always being super aggressive/angry when people call him out.

If we get something I'll read it for sure. But 100% doubt we'll get an ending as good as the start. Which is probably why Rothfuss is stuck

Save your money and time until it gets finished. (I really don't think we'll ever get the ending at this point).

Not worth getting invested in the story where we'll never see an end

Not a lot of need for the app. But it's horse crap they're ALSO removing Bluetooth.

As someone who owns a bunch of their products I'm bummed that it's another company to not buy from anymore. It's like every good product gets ruined by a greedy CEO

It will lol. Just got an apple tv for my new tv instead of Google cause on my Google TV devices I have shit like Burger King ads.

From Wikipedia: Link The Argand lamp had a sleeve-shaped wick mounted so that air can pass both through the center of the wick and also around the outside of the wick before being drawn into a cylindrical chimney which steadies the flame and improves the flow of air. Early models used ground glass which was sometimes tinted around the wick.

An Argand lamp used whale oil, seal oil, colza, olive oil[2] or other vegetable oil as fuel which was supplied by a gravity feed from a reservoir mounted above the burner.

A disadvantage of the original Argand arrangement was that the oil reservoir needed to be above the level of the burner because the heavy, sticky vegetable oil would not rise far up the wick. This made the lamps top heavy and cast a shadow in one direction away from the lamp's flame. The Carcel lamp of 1800, which used a clockwork pump to allow the reservoir to sit beneath the burner, and Franchot's spring-driven Moderator lamp of 1836 avoided these problems.

The same principle was also used for cooking and boiling water due to its 'affording much the strongest heat without smoke'.[3]

Agreed, specific issues a lot of people lean all over the place and I think more people are realizing we need social programs.

There's a lot of issues with our shitty 2 party system. No doubt.

But I think you (and a lot of folks on lemmy) are vastly over estimating how liberal most Americans are. The country as a whole is fairly moderate (and compared to the international world, pretty conservative), and when both parties allow themselves to be controlled by the fringe edges (right or left), most Americans will lean away from the party unless they're a brainwashed group of idiots without the ability to critically think... And those type of folks already have their orange champion.

Abstaining from voting is only going to help one group of people, and unless you enjoyed Jan 6th, that isn't ok. I agree whole heartedly that this situation sucks. We've got a wanna be dictator with a real shot at the presidency and our only other choice is Joe Biden.

But there's only been one president in the history of the country that has promoted and pushed for an overthrow of democracy, I'd vote for anyone running against him to prevent that shit from happening again. Meanwhile I'm voting for any representative and senator or local politicians who work towards a ranked voting solution. But if you abstain then you're helping Trump get elected, you're absolutely stupid if you think the 2 are the same, Biden is not my ideal candidate by any means, but at least he isn't actively trying to destroy our country or literally offering to sell our future to big oil.

It's still accepting a shitty situation because it is what it is. While it might show empathy or at least understanding of the situation, it still is just accepting it that way without digging into it further, or trying to change it.

That line is usually the end of the topic. "Yeah, us working folks sure get fucked over, but it is what it is". Doesn't continue the thought or conversation. It terminates it

They're the 3rd largest video game company and the current highest valued company (by market cap, so yeah not a perfect metric) in the world.

They became that big of a video game company by using their ridiculous amount of money to buy up a bunch of other game companies, reducing the competition but hoarding the IP. While they might not be the "only" company in town I think it is safe to say that they're doing the most buying and consolidating
