None of that has anything to do with the case at hand though, and I don't understand why you would bring it up. This bad law is being abused and just because you don't like the person being targeted in this specific instance, it will just be a matter of time before it's used to target journalists that you like.

I understand that ultimately argued against what the government is doing to him, but I think all the other information you posted (with no sources at all by the way) is not relevant at all and just a pointless distraction.

I'm working my way through Valheim. I started last year and then stopped shortly before fighting the second boss and never got around to picking it back up. Now I'm back at it and working through the third biome. I still have a long way to go and hope that I can continue to sink at least 100 more hours into it.

I also got Metro 2033 and Last Light on the Steam winter sale. I started Metro Exodus a few years ago and also stopped pretty early, so I'm hoping that this time I can stick with it through the whole series. I also got Grim Dawn and it doesn't play great on the Deck, but hopefully I'll be able to get used to it with a bit of effort.

Outside of those, Wildermyth and Brotato are my main chillout games and I'm pretty sure they'll also get 50-100 hours each this year.

Technically you can set up a bridge so you can use it through a normal xmpp or matrix client. It's a giant pain to set it up though.

Looks like there's been plenty of recent updates to me: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commits/master/

And innovative gameplay too. Large companies are too afraid to try new things, and all the games feel like the same rehashed mechanics with a fresh coat of paint... but indie developers are much more willing to try new, interesting concepts.

lichess has finally published it's mobile version on f-droid.

droidfish is another great alternative chess game, though with no online component.

there's also endless sky

Agreed, and it really makes me nervous about changing jobs. If I start a job that requires using something other than Linux, I don't really know what I'll do. I'll probably have to get really good with tmux or zellij or similar because window managers on non-FOSS platforms suck so badly!

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the stupid animations. They also happen when moving a window to another virtual desktop, or when you minimize it. Complete waste of time and they just cause me to forget what I was trying to do or why.

Also, on the topic of minimizing windows, I also hate the dock concept where all the windows are grouped together. I like having a taskbar with a full list of windows so I can see how many are open. If I see too many that are open, I start closing the old ones that I don't need anymore, which helps me stay organized. This is much harder to do with a dock instead. But once again, it's just a matter of preference!

Once, when I started a new job, I had to use an Apple laptop until my Linux laptop came. While the Apple laptop was better than I expected, it was still one of the most annoying weeks of my life. The most unbearable part was the keyboard. I could never tell which hotkeys used ctrl and what used alt, and it just wasn't worth the effort of remembering the differences or remapping them.

But besides that, after using Linux for 15 years, the very basic levels of configurability that the Apple window manager provides just made it look like a child's toy compared to Linux. In Linux, there are so many different window managers that it becomes very easy to customize an environment that works perfectly for you. With Apple, you just get what you're given and if it's bad or doesn't work well for your habits, then tough luck, you're stuck with it anyway. So in that respect, Apple computers don't work at all - you work for the computer, whereas it should be the other way around.

But at the end of the day, what it really comes down to is the fact that people just like what they're used to, and it sucks to change. What's best is a matter of preference; none is better objectively better than the other.

Except Windows. Fuck Windows.
