Most of my 2025 was Silksong actually, but for only $20 it felt like a patient gamer moment!

Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.

Well you’re in luck because the translation feature is local https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Don’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

January 6th = normal president stuff apparently

Well said, I think the library is the biggest point but also a harder sell for someone used to losing a large percentage of their games every generation. They see it as “having to buy their games again” in the short term.

100% Also, y’know Ellen, or Will & Grace…

This is it exactly.

“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”

We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

KDE is friendlier to Windows users than GNOME, but Mint is still a good option.

Lissen is my favorite audiobook player

I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

I love this idea.

The remasters of 2, 3 and 4 are phenomenal.

It’s theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it’s commonplace.

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.
