Interesting...

I'm used to stuff like this:

That's the bad German influence. First you start to complain about everything, then upgrade to protesting.

Jokes aside... how common are cans in the US still?

The thing still often seen in cans here are energy drinks. And those are fittingly often "non-standard sizes" (basically adapted from US sizes with less filling, for example 12 oz -> ⅓ L) that never existed when cans (¼ and ½ L being the normal sizes) where still more common.

Ohh, and cheap beer...

But I have honestly not touched a coca cola can for more than two decades.

I actually like what Steam did for Linux gaming in general, but in the end it is slowly becoming a crutch. Why should I spin up the Steam client (that is neither fast nor easy on resources, too) every time I want to play a non-steam game?

Again... it's nice what Valve is doing in general and that most of the stuff is open source and thus can be back ported to Wine.

I however find it concerning that the number of people doing so seems to be constantly decreasing. And I don't actually understand why the majority of gamers -people that are insanely obsessed with very small FPS or other perfomance increases sometimes- seems to be content with using Steam as the one-size-fits-all solution for games. Just simple Wine Staging can often match the performance for older games, for all games once you start backporting some patches and fixes developed for Proton. And yet the contributors seem to get less by the day and a lot of projects pre-compiling patched Wine versions are vanishing for a lack of interest.

In short: I don't get that voluntary lock-in to Steam for very little convenience of having a fancy interface for starting your games.

TIL: Aluminium bottles are a thing.

Up until now I only knew thick reusable plastic, thin recycleable plastic and reusable glas as the usual materials for bottles.

Edit: Oh, wait... I'm stupid. I simply forgot that cans exist as I haven't drunken cola from a can in decades.

draw attention and focus away from the real problems

...and the additional ones intentionally created just so a few morons can get even more power.

But at that point pihole is just a fancy web interface with some nice looking but for most purposes useless graphs. I just let Unbound filter stuff with the same filter lists pihole would use.

Not revolting before you are sure you have the proper support to succeed IS the actual advice. They are just waiting for something like this to happen as a pretense to suspend existing law and take total control. So you have exactly one chance. Use it wisely.

YMMV... but in my experience that whole "time to maintain arch"-idea is overstated.

I defintiely spend less time on issues like "oh, there's a bug. let's role that update back and try again in 6-24 hours when it's fixed" or "defaults changed in a new version, let's take a quick look at the changes" on arch than on annoying bugs persisting for years in fixed distros. And that's before calculating the whole "distro upgrade every otehr year"-stuff. Which likes to kill a whole weekend at least and barely ever works (followed by the same "oh, defaults changed" but now on dozens of components at the same time).

And because of that second point in particular even if archlinux wouldn't be my choice I could never go back to a non-rolling release.

Missing the updated Logo:

Note the A added... that's for accessibility, so you already know who's next.

Well... a certain mustache guy was also know to be a rather sloppy saluter.

in a normal, functioning society if someone gets caught doing a gesture that is interpreted by some people as being a Nazi salute

But it isn't. All media has clearly told us within minutes that we did not actually saw what we saw with our own eyes and it's just error in judgement on our side to have mistaken his "odd looking gesture" for a nazi salute.

Obviously not. I mean, yeah, the original was. But as Elon had it removed from the whole internet and is of course successful with everything he does this has to be a fake that only recreated the original photo..

"Ignore the lie you saw with your own eyes and listen to the actual truth we tell you"

Guess somewhat understood 1984 as a guideline.

And those who learned from history are doomed to isolation and depression while they constantly warn morons that only look at them blankly for a moment then start calling them insane alarmists...

Some are also just plain stupid... the inflation rate increasd in those 4 years and that's obviously Biden's fault because nothing outside of the US exists that could have any influence.

Yet sometimes the only reasonable guess is that they coded in undocumented brainfuck.

Why should it sacrifice itself? There are more than fast-flying kamikaze drones. Smaller spotters or all those improvised models based on commercial quadrocopters with an AT warhead are nice targets for a properly sized bird of prey coming at them like they would hit their regular prey... fast and from top.

In fact there were several project world-wide to actually train birds to hunt down drones. Most were abandoned as fast spinning rotors can be a danger to claws when they get unlucky... but still it's perfectly reasonable to expect a big owl, eagle etc. to down a drone.

"While privacy-focused age verification methods exist, regulatory clarity is lacking."

It's not lacking clarity. Privacy-focused age verification is simply not wanted by big tech and politically (because money from big tech) as they wouldn't be able to collect and make money with building profiles of what you do online.
