Is there some pop culture reference that I'm unaware of, or why are you talking nonsense?

The big Q: Is this to the detriment or benefit of the russian war machine?

If the end result is a more self-sufficient russia and profits going to the war effort ... would it have been the right move? Is the symbolism worth it?

It sounds like it was a very orderly process to ensure the ongoing viability of the business.

I'd rather see russian factories dismantled, thousands of jobs lost in russia, and significant supply chain issues. I guess that option never factored into the discussion as it would cost investors more.

Deemix is a good way to build up your local cache from Deezer, at which point you can serve it locally.

It will mess with artist renumeration though (which seems important to you), so you might want to find another way to compensate your favourite artists.

Many competitive FPS games also fit this category. Play a round for 15 minutes or a few in an hour, get back to life. Games with grind are less attractive - we know it's all just wasting time.

I've had the most luck with heroic games launcher for Epic. I guess anti-cheat will be problematic for multiplayer games on epic.

Strange comment. I have a long and varied comment history. OP not.

It would have to be a pretty niche project with an involved and dedicated community to get away with that these days.

It's a way to prove that someone gave/sold you some/all rights to some "thing". Which would be important if anyone cared, but no-one does ... with the exception of those who once thought that someone cared and are trying to recoup their "investment" by deceiving others.

Interesting. I don't think I've heard of it before.

I learnt Esperanto grammar in about 2 weeks about 25 years ago. As my first second language, it helped me to understand English (my native language's) grammar better, and was later a useful bridge to other european languages. While I've forgotten most of my Esperanto vocabulary, I still have a good grasp on the grammar and how to form all the different conjugations.

I think that Interlingua sounds nicer, even though it's a bit more complicated. I never learnt it properly, though.

Not my experience with Arch at all, but I stick to pretty standard hardware.

What I like with Arch is that it gets out of my way and makes it easy to have a minimal desktop experience. I've been a Linux user since '95, so I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of a distro. When there have been issues, the wiki has been excellent.

I update regularly, but not constantly. I tend to hold back kernel & driver updates until I'm ready to reboot. Pretty chill experience all around.

Das stimmt! Probier's mal auf Haferbrei, mit ein bisschen Milch und Butter auch. Himmlisch!

I leave visible stains at (some) hotels when I leave ... ... ... a little coffee is what I typically use, but toothpaste works too. I've heard too many stories over the years. Don't forget to leave a small tip at the end of your stay.
