Sony hasn't done the paperwork to officially do business in those countries, so you can't make a psn account. And because Sony is intent on forcing psn accounts, it leads to this stupid situation where those countries are locked out, despite Steam supporting them.

Only problem is streaming services like Amazon that purposefully limit the quality on Linux.

That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.

I don't know about the 13, but on the 16 you can update via USB, no OS required. Kind of annoying, but it works.

It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.

Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.

Yes. Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard, as of Oct 2023

I agree, but unfortunately, there's probably not a good self hosted solution to this specific problem.

I use musicbrainz for music tagging, which is an excellent source for all metadata except lyrics. For better or worse, the only decent sources of lyrics seems to be genius and musixmatch, and neither integrate well with tagging tools like musicbrainz Picard.

If anyone else has found an easier way to do this, I would love to hear it.

Unfortunately, that isn't feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.

We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.

Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.

Yes.

The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.

Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.

Yeah, that always seemed like a transitional name to me. The BSA branding has been so prominent historically, they kinda had to keep it for a while.
