I used to just use Firefox for Google Meet, but it seems they broke it somewhere along the way. Probably on purpose.

As someone who grew up with this shit, after my sister died in an accident this is exactly what these nutters say.

"A couple of decades"

Buddy....it's 55 years old now. Lol.

Interesting movie concept, though. Would love to see something like this remade today with modern revelations.

The efficiency comes from the lack of voice processing. The beeps and boops are easier on CPU resources than trying to parse spoken word.

That said, they should just communicate over an API like you said.

Look on the bright side: Germans will soon no longer be associated with Nazis.

Unfortunately, it'll just have moved to Americans.

If you want to go as cheap as possible while retaining usable status, I'd recommend generic Xbox 360 controllers. You can get deals on two of them in a set for sub-$20 and they're usually fine functionally. They will have cheap sticks and poor build quality, but they take AA or the Play N Charge packs and their 2.4ghz dongles they come with work on Linux perfectly for every "brand" I've tried.

If you want a nice non-Xbox/PlayStation controller, as others have said: get an 8BitDo.

Don't bother with anything else. I've bought plenty of generic Switch controllers, off brand Xbox or PlayStation controllers, etc. They all lead to pain, connection issues, and frustration. ESPECIALLY if they're Bluetooth. You might be OK if they come with a dongle for 2.4ghz, but even those are spotty sometimes and often have range issues.

Speaking from experience, generic Switch controllers on Linux often suck. Many off-brand controllers use crap Bluetooth modules that will only connect half the time. I've tried two or three. Get a wired controller, 8BitDo, Xbox, or PlayStation controller.

Why are you using X11 on Plasma? Wayland support has been great for a long time on Plasma and they're working towards deprecating X11.

I bounced between them both. Decided on Mint with Cinnamon because it just works without fuss.

What the actual fuck is this?

Please no. Look....I am glad you played Kirk, man.....but your story is DONE. Picard's story didn't need its own show either.

Stop making rehashes FFS. Stop leveraging nostalgia and then disappointing us.

Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds: Do more of that (I know SNW is a prequel, but it explores characters that barely saw the light of day).

Fucking Orville did Star Trek better than modern Star Trek.

There is a reason they are inexpensive. Their batteries are terribly designed with no thermal management.

I already uninstalled it. Already enough Google spyware on my phone.

Just wait until the USPS is gone and all federal/tax docs have to be mailed via UPS or FedEx. You think it costs a lot to run the USPS? Just wait until a Duopoly can charge whatever they want. All the fuckers that voted for this are going to find out.

There is a reason only USPS delivers in rural America and the private companies use them for last mile delivery.

MAGA Americans need to cease to exist.

Oh look. The dumb fuck is projecting again.

As a fellow Mint enjoyer who is too fucking old to be fixing their desktop all the time.....yes

GOP:

Gaslight

Obstruct

Project

I mean.....do they?

And this is why I filed my return in January. I knew Trump was going to screw with the IRS in ways that would affect returns, so I got mine in as early as I could.
