Old World - Wonders & Dynasties is a content-filled DLC out now
Old World is easily one of the best 4X games to be released in recent years, that is still quite largely overlooked compared to others in the genre and it only keeps getting better. A big new content DLC Wonders & Dynasties has just been released.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

AYANEO Next Lite with a customized SteamOS-like HoloISO fully revealed
AYANEO has now revealed the specifications and pricing for the Linux powered AYANEO Next Lite, which will be using the SteamOS-like HoloISO, although customized by AYANEO for the handheld.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Nice to see some competition in form of a lower powered device with a cheaper price than the steam deck show up. I have a few friends who really only want to play indies on the go, but would like the modifiability and flexibility and pricing of a PC game with that, so I think this is a perfect device for that purpose!
Also super unrelated, but I wonder if some kind of "comment by Fediverse" on GamingOnLinux would be a possibility at some point. 😀

I was filling out the survey when I wanted a new line.
I pressed shift+enter but it turns out my cursor was not in a text/form area.
It submitted the form without any confirmation. That's probably a bug?
I was answering dumb AI questions when it happened. So have fun parsing my answers up to that point.
Cheers 🥂

In case you haven't gotten sick of hearing me talk about this issue, I was on CBC-Yukon this morning talking about satellite pollution: cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-393…
The short version: satellites are super annoying for astronomy, but are completely terrifying for what they might do to the atmosphere as they deorbit in large numbers (and we don't actually know what they'll do - that's the scary part.)

Linus Was Right, Never Break Userspace

Honestly, even if they do this, I cannot see why linux distributions can't just make the alias themselves.
As you said, it is not an extra maintainance burden. Some distros already have aliases for stuff like 'ls -a'. It could either be in the default bash config, or an actual script redirecting to the new command.
I actually really like openSUSE's solution to this where egrep and fgrep are just scripts:
#!/bin/shexec grep -E "$@"
#!/bin/shexec grep -F "$@"

Quite a blast from the past to see how things have changed.
The empty lot on the corner is now an apartment building, as is the old supermarket across the street. Small businesses in the neighborhood have changed.
The house where we lived (until about 1971) was repainted and has a picket fence.
The grammar school I attended now has a gate in front of the schoolyard.
@Richard I hadn't thought of that! I just checked from Craig's Hill to the high school where the buses were for taking me to Hebler (Ellensburg had more than one primary school even in the 60s), I would have been walking a little less than .7 miles. So, not quite 3/4 but a bit more than .5 miles.
Quite a blast from the past to see how things have changed. The railway track where we used to tape pennies in order to squash them, is now a walking track.
