TLJ higher than the prequels is a bold statement. That was the movie that convinced me that new Star Wars was dead on arrival.

ROTS being so low actually surprises me a bit; what's your reasoning for that? If you haven't checked it out, I strongly recommend the novelization of ROTS, it's one of the best Star Wars novels I've ever read.

How is this supposed to debunk Pascal's Wager? Genuine question, as the topic brought up here seems to be beyond the scope of what the wager addresses.

Ahh, good to hear there's some work being done on it!

Happy to see continued Wayland compatibility updates; I just wish Wayland wasn't so problematic for gaming on my system :|

Sweet, just got my invite! Curious to see if this means they've also expanded the limited test to include Linux, since my main desktop is running Manjaro.

I'm in the same boat; longtime MusicBee user on Windows, and it's one of the few things I haven't found a "good enough" replacement for on Linux.

Your friendly reminder to promote and encourage development of walkable and bikeable cities/towns, and to promote good public transit!

Fair enough, adapters do exist, but as you point out, there are situations where that is not ideal. On a long flight, for example, where I might want to charge my phone and also listen to something, or (in my case) someone who does some amateur audio engineering work on the side, where having the ability to simply wire in a device to play some audio is a big plus. My biggest problem is that phones from five years ago could do both wireless and wired headphones just fine, no adapters needed. What have we gained as consumers by the loss of one of those options?

Galaxy S9, and most likely a Sony Xperia 5 IV (or 5 V, since that's supposed to release in a few days). Honestly I'm using the S9 until it completely gives out on me.

My thoughts on it: cool, now give it a headphone jack again and I might buy it.

I'm not buying a phone that requires $100 wireless earbud DLC (which honestly feel like just another thing to become e-waste in a few years when the battery gives out).

Hmm...not sure how I feel about the change, but then again, it doesn't really matter since I don't have beta access anyway :P

I suppose it comes down to the definition of "cheat"; as I recall, the consensus was that it was an unfair advantage because it made use of a one-way texture that allowed the CT's to see the T's, but not vice versa (let me know if I'm wrong on this, it's been a while). Granted, it's using stuff within the game, but is kind of not in keeping with the spirit of a pro match.
