Not from scratch - just like with other AI models they are created by mixing together a bunch of existing voices.

The only good printer is a dead printer.

Two great games that are perfect for Steam Deck - Hades and Hollow Knight.

You’re not entirely wrong but the Pal system itself has a good amount of depth - Pals have traits and skills, and are weaker or stronger against different other types of Pals, so you can be very clever about what skills you teach them and what fights/environments you take them into. The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.

Enterprise grade MFD printers often have a lot of features that don’t get detected/mapped automatically, such as finishing options like staples and folding, as well as color management. I’m not a printer expert, I try to avoid them when possible, but I know that mass deploying those specific configurations in a safe and sane way seems basically impossible.

On the Fedora-based Linux machines, however, all of that seems to just pop in automatically, so I don’t think it’s a CUPS problem.

I do freelance sysadmin work and Macs are actually the hardest to mass deploy printer configurations to.

It depends on your threat model. If you simply want fewer targeted ads, there is a benefit. If you are a journalist under a dictatorship, there is little to no benefit.

The only way to use google play services and retain any privacy is to completely sandbox them, and the only OS that actually does this is GrapheneOS.

This - I’m a photographer and I try to avoid doing weddings, even though they pay more, because of the sheer stress involved.

This is actually a popular misconception. MLK was just as radical as Malcolm X, it’s just that his more radical writings and speeches are not as popular or quoted. Libs and conservatives both want you to believe that MLK was a reasonable progressive liberal, when in fact he despised them. I say this as a huge fan of both MLK and Malcolm X, and I had this explained to me initially by a professor of African American history at university.

Baldurs Gate 3 is a masterpiece, GOTY for me so far, but every other game this year I would rank below Star Citizen for me personally. Starfield especially just makes me wish I was playing Star Citizen.

Agreed - it’s more fun to play than most of the major releases of the past few years.

I trust you have your own threat model and know what’s best for you, but in my opinion privacy necessitates security.

Odd choice to use GrapheneOS if you don’t care about security. More power to you, though.

FreeTube is available on Windows as well.
