If you don't know what a content delivery network is, here : https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/what-is-a-cdn/

A CND is very costly to run in an effective way. And because it is an intermediary server between the user and content server, the market is already pretty full. So competing with the CDN giants is practically impossible in a decentralised manner.

Because of what a CDN does (cache website elements closer to the user, protect the website against ddos...), it cannot be a cheap weak server, or it's the one which will get overwhelmed by the ddos, or even the users.

Another limiting factor is that in decentralisation, that means different companies, and so many separate plans to pay, which is just impossible for a company.

If it was decentralized, a company would have to go and pay 100 different companies (which is more expensive, du to the server costs and each companies having their own staff to may (even if it's just 1 person per company)) just to offer a quick access to the users around the world, which is just impossible.

You say that you watch movies and series. Watch them with subtitle in a language you understand well. However limiting yourself to only to this, may prevent you from learning English, as you'll maybe just read the text and don't pay too much attention to the sounds/words. Also careful with the platform you choose to watch on. Some have s* translation (amazon prime video in French. There is "context" but not always translated as expected for the wording).

This may help you for the speakers language, but not the text. Once your confortable enough to be able to understand good parts, try putting the subtitles in English. This will help you to associate sounds to written words.

And when confortable enough try removing the subtitles to see how you understand it.

When you read texts, and you get a word you don't understand, try reading the context and try understanding it that way, and translate it immediately or search it's definition.

I learned English in multiple ways :

• School (still did a big part even more for the written English)
• watching movies/series in English as described above subtitles in French, then English, then now without and understand most of it).
• plying games in English

There may also be tools to help to learn English. We had in class an app called quizlet for some time, and learned words, translations and verbs through that app (tho not only that one).

Another great way is writing and correcting. It can help a lot. However if you are correcting mistakes with other mistakes the effectiveness may not be as expected.

This would not be every way to learn English, but it may help you for your ideas.

Keep in mind that learning a language is hard and takes time. Even more if you don't have the brains of a child (easy to create connections between neurons, which helps with learning anything).

The gaming space may have changed but I'd say it's because you changed.

You brought in your decision the "worth playing". Is this game worth to buy or is this game worth my time. When you can give your time a value, you can also compare it to what you are doing and if it's worth to do that.

I tend to not really do that too much, because gaming is a hobby. If I start to compare it to what I could earn, well it doesn't give the most "value" in monetary gain or maybe knowledge gain. But that is why it is a hobby for me, not work.

On the other side, is it worth playing? What is the comparison? The price? If you like the game? For me, if I can enjoy it, and come back to it, even if it's very long (Warframe for example is the one where I have the most hours played), well it's worth playing to me.

Tho some games are very expensive for the experience they give and some are really s* recently (gollum *cough) and those are not worth playing.

And is it worth playing compared to your other games? Maybe, maybe not? If you wait you can get discounts (at least on pc), and increase the value. And play your backlog in the meantime.

I think that playing the most recent games can be enjoyable but not always the best "value". Tho I still play "newer" even if I have the backlog, which I use as a filler between releases and "patient gamers" style.

And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it's own DHCP provider.

Let's wait for the anti-reddit pixel art. Mods will "cheat" and remove it before it stays too long.

And maybe it will even be removed from the "public" data.

There are multiple things taken in account for the steam deck compatibility.

One of the issues, can be the very small display. In some cases the game may display small text or require a mouse for some menus, and it will be partially compatible, but in other cases it may be unplayable, or only playable with a mouse.

It can be interesting for Linux desktop users. There also is prodondb protondb which can help too.

As someone else said no it wasn't installed though the software manger. It just failed to install though that way.

He went for a guide CLEARLY LABELED AS DANGEROUS MULTIPLE TIMES using the terminal with the "do as I say" command.

Tho this issue shouldn't have happened, but it happened. And was blocked for a normal install.

He just forced it through a command.

Go check because it seems you're too lazy to search for the video

It's through the package manager of your distro, apt, pacman, dnf... It has the best integration with the system and other apps installed though the package manager (if there is a gui on your distro, it is the same thing, tho some allow to chose between different sources.

The flatpak version it may also be viable.

Deb is a very bad idea as you wont have the dependencies installed automatically.

Linus was just stupid and did not update pop os after install. Tho he could have updated it and maybe when he did the recording the issues was discovered but not yet fixed. But The issue was already well fixed when he posted the video. I don't remember how all went.

Favourite, not sure. Maybe my "favourite" would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.

There wouldn't be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.

For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it's "just" a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.

For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.

And for the rest, I don't really know. Either I don't remember right now, or no special "like" for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).

It depends on the usage really.

He was too sick and for a long time with kidney issues.

He survived way longer than he was supposed to, but he finally had to be put down at the end.

Not entirely true for LCD. Some LCD displays have zones. And each zone with it's back-light.

If a zone is completely dark (not grey or without even a single white pixel), the back-light will shut off.

However on phones, it is mostly a single zone.

There may be solutions for your issue. https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray/issues/514

Maybe try birdtray flatpak or using the special launch argument as described in the link from the comment.

It doesn't support it natively. Fairphone uses /e/os and because it uses microg, android auto doesn't work directly.

From this thread, there would maybe be a solution, one answer directs to an xda developer post with magisk : https://community.e.foundation/t/android-auto-with-magisk/47472

However it needs some tinkering, and it may not be the easiest thing to do.
