I was gonna say Jet Set Radio Future too. I absolutely love the cel shading art style. Will check out Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, thanks

Which soap? I’ve been using Dove for everything for the past few years. Apart from the fact that it’s really handy for travelling I’ve never had any issues with using it as both shampoo and normal soap but maybe I’m doing it wrong and I should have dedicated conditioner and shampoo

Thailand is full of western roid-heads and they have a decent online presence. Vigorous Steve on YouTube is a good starting point

Judas goat! Judas goat! Judas goat!

None. I use Premiumize with Plex for fast downloads and a Netflix style interface once I have the content. And IPTV if I want to watch movie channels

I use EPG dot best. They’re an EPG provider who give you lots of detailed information about each channel and show/movie and nice clean logos and everything.

You can filter large EPG files from your IPTV provider into much smaller ones that only include the channels you actually watch. The smaller EPG file means that the app uses less RAM on my Nvidia Shield too

It’s not free and it’s kinda finicky to set up, with a weird workflow, but it works well once that’s done

SmartTube is some of the greatest software ever made

I think all these other countries only care about the fact that India has a burgeoning middle class and is going to become the next consumption led market. Everyone has too much of their own stuff to deal with at the moment, but they love the idea of huge cohort of new customers over the coming decades, regardless of who’s in charge

Not to take away from your post, which is nuanced and interesting. But I think the buck stops at the economics for most

Surely this is satire?

Looks like Cinnamon is the way to go, thanks. I’ll give it a spin tomorrow, thanks for your help

Plenty of good info there, thanks for the thorough response. I’ll probably go the live USB route, which I’d forgotten was a thing. That way any hardware issues should be apparent pretty quickly

Absolutely, this return to office stuff has been an absolute gift for CEOs wanting to downsize, it’s the perfect fluffy PR way to turn the thumbscrews. Factor in the popular idea that you’re a slacker if you don’t work hard all the time and you basically have public support too.

I’m sure plenty of people will just suck it up and view the past few years as a very extended break from office nonsense and commuting hassle, but enough will jump ship to fill quotas

What version on Linux is most like Windows? I’m not a gamer and nearly everything I do runs in a browser so compatibility isn’t going to be an issue, but any time I’ve tried to migrate over it’s been a nightmare of weird errors and non-stop troubleshooting

Have you tried Pi? It’s pretty amazing!

And Claude might help with your writers block if you ask for ideas

Exactly, it’s total garbage. I’ve been training the algo for years, no way I’m giving that up

I leave it on, the suggestions are good as far as I can tell. What’s everyone’s beef with it?

I don’t get the YouTube hate in general. It’s much more interesting than Netflix or TV so I’m happy to pay, although I pay Argentina rates courtesy of subscribing while connected to my VPN and I use Sponsor Block to skip the in-video ad reads. It still counts
