That's a fair take. We all have different priorities.

We use in home streaming nearly every day now, so it's a must have for me. Remote play together is critical for certain games as well.

Remote play together, local network streaming, etc.

I loved BL1 and 2 so much, my pets are named after characters from the games. The staggered launch of BL3 caused me to forget about it for years after release.

Welcome!

Pitchforks it is, then.

Can you explain how to do this on Voyager? Can't seem to figure it out.

It has to be sarcasm, it's way too funny.

It's clearly because of women who dress immodestly. The boobquake has finally arrived.

My physical media was destroyed in a fire, but I still have my backed up digital library. We all accept some risk!

I think your primary motivation is violence, not progress. I don't need to be a shill to recognize that.

History is replete with examples of individuals who believed they could create a utopia by killing enough people. Of them, you're not the most enlightened, just the latest.

I ran various Ubuntu flavors, Mint, Pop!, and Debian on a wide array of devices for almost a decade before switching my gaming rig to EndeavourOS last year. I didn't appreciate the snap package issues I was having, and the AUR is an excellent tool to have in the box.

I tried straight arch and probably would have stuck with it if I hadn't royally borked up my audio during the pulseaudio/pipewire transition. I practically live in the command line, but I'm happy to let a well-appointed installer deal with the menial stuff, especially with the knowledge that I'll inevitably have to reinstall someday. It's not like there's a shortage of shit to mess with or a dearth of dumb mistakes I'll make. No matter what you choose, my best advice is to make a separate partition for both home and root. At the very least, that'll give you the ability to easily evaluate different distros or reinstall without worry.

IME running newer kernels tends to be a boon for newer hardware and arch-based distros in particular are a good choice for gaming due to the rise of the Steam Deck. I still prefer Debian on servers and SBCs. Probably never going back to Ubuntu again. YMMV.

I wish there were fewer hurdles to that as well. Where I live, we only recently lifted a ban on collecting rainwater, though we're still severely limited. That the water is "spoken for" by downstream desert alfalfa farms makes it even harder to swallow.

Decentralizing agriculture to local gardens is part of how we solve this mess. Actively promoting replacement of ornamental monoculture lawns with native, low-water, pollinator-friendly plants would also be a positive step. Golf courses, big ag, corporate and individual property owners... there's a long list of entities that need to reevaluate their relationship with and responsibility to the land they ostensibly maintain.

Gooseberries grow like crazy in Colorado, every other garden around here has at least one bush. Never seen them at a grocer though.

Food security isn't an issue of production but rather distribution

Having done work on the distributor side of food security, this is absolutely correct. I wish this was common knowledge.

Did you read the article?

I'm left wondering if you read it. It doesn't make the assertion you do:

no physical means of trapping insects is going to only target the problem insects

This seems self-evident, but I have to ask why you didn't cite a source that backs that up before slapping me with an "Um.No kidding."

Maybe your communication skills are less developed than you realize?

Thrips aren't beneficial.

"Littoral" is effectively equivalent to "nearshore". Makes sense as written.

I think you're thinking of the Steam Link.

The Steam Deck can stream games from your PC, but it is a perfectly capable standalone gaming device.
