Check out You.com too, their search is far better than Google on a lot of the technical topics I’ve searched for.

Edit: ugh, it was good. Now they’re shovelling LLM interaction front and center and the original search functionality is completely buried. If you can find their original search interface it might still be worth a look.

I mean, gestures wildly at everything

Climate change, rampant (and increasing) income inequality, treating employees like disposable parts, govt handouts to the wealthy in the trillions over the last decade, healthcare costs, rent?

Something is broken in your hardware acceleration stack, I’d check out the verification and troubleshooting sections here: wiki.archlinux.org/…/Hardware_video_acceleration.

The tiny excerpt from VLC you’ve included doesn’t give us enough info to see what’s broken but taking a wild stab at it I’d guess it’s libva, mesa or a regression in amdgpu. Take a look at the system journal (and user journal) as well as the VLC log, something in the library stack is probably throwing a more useful error than we’ve seen yet.

This is something in the libva/mesa hardware acceleration stack

Privatization of retirement did exactly what it was designed to do: it tied retirement savings directly to the stock market so any attempt to rein in Wall St has a built in poison pill for everyone over 30.

Board positions exist as a way to funnel wealth to the children, relatives and friends of the people startups are going to for their initial investment.

HDR support is still very much incomplete, Valve is driving that effort and something should be available Soon™ maybe later this year or next.

You’ll want a rolling release distro of some sort to take advantage of the most recent work on display tech. Check out Arch, Fedora, Nobara, Bazzite, etc - they’re all much more current than Pop (which is based on Ubuntu and cuts stable releases every couple of years.) Use Wayland and pipewire to take advantage of the modern display and audio stack and more modern features (VRR, HDR) should “just work” when they’re implemented and released.

I haven’t run anything older than Skylake since 2020. I imagine anyone planning to run these either hasn’t done the math on energy costs or lives somewhere where electricity is dirt cheap.

Here? Not many, I sub to things I find interesting and browse my subscribed feed.

Reddit? Hundreds of subreddits if not more. If it’s full of rage or engagement bait, intolerance or it’s a community devoted to punching down I’ve probably blocked it.

The old “legalize, regulate and tax” routine tends to work better than just letting the problem fester in the background. Regulated gaming with proper oversight ensures that games are fair and not overtly predatory, and that the operators are inspected for compliance and pay their taxes.

Arch packaging is also significantly easier to work with in my experience. I’ve packaged for both for some years and I’ll take the Arch build system over wrangling dpkg every chance I can.

Gaming support is still very much a work in progress all up and down the software stack. Stable distros like Debian tend to ship older proven versions of packages so their packaged software can be up to 18mo behind current releases. The NTSync kernel code that should improve Windows game performance isn’t even scheduled for mainline merge until the 6.10 kernel window in a few weeks - that’s not likely to be in a stable Debian release for a 12-18mo.

TL;DR: Gaming work is very much ongoing and Arch moves faster than Debian does. Shipping 12-18mo old versions of core software on the Steam deck would degrade performance.

Just curious, what are you afraid someone would do with your dna results? The government in America already keeps dna results on all babies born in the 80’s and later.

Corporations aren’t exactly known for being honest or fair, or following the law, when they have valuable data to sell. They might tell you that they’ll delete your data but there’s always a chance that they’ll retain it and sell it under the table if someone makes a compelling offer. Or an employee could steal the data and sell it secretly, or they could have a security breach and someone could make off with it.

Why would any of that be bad? Because health insurance companies are salivating over new ways to deny your claims (or crank up your premiums) and genetic data that reveals an elevated risk of a serious condition is a damned good excuse for them to do just that.
