Just made the switch to Nobara Linux on my desktop and ill probably go with Mint on my ancient laptop tomorrow. My only hang up was games but it seems like compatibility is a lot better nowadays so hopefully I can fully switch over. Same for windows only programs and Wine.
I believe it's US-only for now
This is just straight up racist propaganda. No other way to describe it
sabaya is straightforwardly associated with what we moderns call rape
Absolutely factually incorrect. Sabaya is the plural of sabiye which means young woman/girl. The masculine form is sabi which means boy or shab for young man (not exactly symmetric like use of guy vs girl in english). Zero sexual connotation and used in everyday language in levantine arabic.
A lot of people don't understand that there is a difference between liberal and leftist which makes them automatically assume that anyone speaking negatively of liberals must be a conservative. A consequence of Americans calling their centre right party "the left".
Aliexpress is basically amazon with longer shipping time in my experience. Each seller has their own store rating similar to ebay so as long as you exercise judgement ie. Dont buy from brand new stores with 0 feedback or things that are too good to be true and avoid certain things like batteries and storage media unless you know exactly what you're buying you should be fine. I've bought a lot of stuff from there (mostly electronics) and haven't had bad experiences
And if they are not let back in who will hold Israel accountable? Many of the people being bombed refuse to leave their homes for this very reason (as well as the south getting targeted by bombs/no shelter/no supplies either way so might as well keep whatever semblance of dignity they have left). They don't trust Israel to allow them to return home due to historical precedent.
He also tried to design a windowless mega-dorm as a weird social experiment of sorts. All around great guy
In his October 25 resignation letter to UCSB Campus Architect Julie Hendricks, Dennis McFadden ― a well-respected Southern California architect with 15 years on the committee ― goes scorched earth on the radical new building concept, which calls for an 11-story, 1.68-million-square-foot structure that would house up to 4,500 students, 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.
The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly. Munger maintains the small living quarters would coax residents out of their rooms and into larger common areas, where they could interact and collaborate.

Thankfully it did not get approved.
NOTE: Please backup your saves before attempting any of this as it involves modding your game files and that always poses a risk of data loss if things go wrong. Also, there may be some differences between original and remaster that I'll mention.
So the Knoxx DLC is notorious for being a driving simulator and BL1 DLC not having any fast travel stations except for the starting areas makes farming very tedious. Fortunately, there are ways around that on PC:
The "simple" way for Crawmerax and the Crimson Lance Armory
Remaster/Enhanced version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlandsgotyenhanced/mods/7
Original version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands/mods/34
Extract the WillowGame folder into your installation directory with the same existing folder:
eg. a default Steam install should be in \Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\
Go to save data location eg.
\Documents\My games\Borderlands Game of the Year\WillowGame\Config
Open WillowEngine.ini. Search for
DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals.General.Globals
Replace it with
DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals_custom.General.Globals
Launch game
Open Pause menu -> Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Keybindings -> Bind Fast travel to Craw/Knoxx Armory to whatever button
Notes: If you travel with the bind and are done with the area make sure you save quit instead of just traveling to it again as that will not save your current progress\
Also binding Fast Travel UI lets you fast travel from anywhere which is a big QoL improvement.
The manual way for Ajax (and Craw/Knoxx if needed)
Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps
Copy dlc3_gondola_p.umap
Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\Maps\Arid
Paste dlc3_gondola_p.umap
Rename Arid_SkagGully_P.umap to something like Backup_Arid_SkagGully_P.umap for safekeeping
Rename dlc3_gondola_p.umap to Arid_SkagGully_P.umap
Launch game
Fast travel to Skag Gully
You should spawn within 1 minute of Ajax as shown here
dlc3_uberboss_p.umap for Crawmerax and dlc3_lancedepot_p.umap for Armory which can also in found in \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\MapsAnother map you can replace is 'Arid_Cave_P.umap' which corresponds to The Lost Cave. You can use any map as a replacement but those are just the ones I've used before.
Note: the gondola file for Ajax may only work for the remaster or there may be a better one to use for the original if you search the large .umap files for yourself and try each one you might be able to find one that spawns you right in front of his area in the original version of BL1
The political compass isn't real
They can just phrase it a little differently and argue semantics in front of a bunch of 70 year olds who don't know what a browser is in a hearing or two. Maybe a couple campaign contributions through completely legal channels and that's that. Anti trust enforcement has been falling in the US for decades.
I've been looking at the current state of the GPU market since my RX 580 4GB is gonna be faced with 1440p soon and, while prices are still pretty bad, there's a few value options.
This was to suit my own preference but I thought it might be useful for others with similar needs. No preference towards Nvidia and I only care about rasterization so not looking at extra functionality/features making the shortlist basically just the AMD 6000 series midrange.
The standouts being the RX 6650 being the best overall value at ~$290 if you're fine with 8GB of VRAM and 6750 XT (or 6700 XT) for 12GB at ~$420 (these needing a good sale to reach that price).
The relative performance is from benchmarks at 1440p Ultra settings where 4090 performance is the baseline of 100% which should be representative of the average usecase for these (1440p and mostly not CPU bound).
There's nothing that offers 12GB under $380 (3060 12GB sacrifices some performance for 2GB of VRAM over the RX 6700) which is a shame in my opinion as 8GB is slowly becoming obsolete and has a good chance of shortening an otherwise serviceable card's lifespan.
I included the RX 7700 on there because there have been leaks about it and while they say it will be above 500USD, there's always the chance that AMD stops giving up free market share and puts it out at a reasonable price instead of slashing its price significantly 2 weeks after launch like it did with the higher end model recently. It makes sense for it to release around the release of Starfield (which they're giving away with their current GPUs) so might be worth holding out for that if nothing else comes up.
Otherwise, a sale on the 6750 XT seems like the best choice if you're willing to spend $420+tax on a GPU in terms of longevity and performance at 1440p.
I get the same as the main post. Either way the point still stands. I had someone correct me with a misconception about something because he googled it and thats what it said in the answer box. It's getting increasingly difficult to rely on search results especially when google synthesizes them into questions and answers with little context
we didn’t ‘sell’ the monoblock, but rather auctioned it for charity due to a miscommunication
I don't think you're making the point you think you're making
For video recording I use OBS and for zip files I use 7-Zip
