I dunno that I’d consider Brave to be “the right thing” but more variety/competition is best!

I’d describe it as making computer systems reliable.

Why is that? What do you feel is the downside?

Yes, kind of.

Someone might correct me if I’m wrong but it’s that, plus extra tooling to redirect the stuff that needs to be writable, plus more extra tooling to allow you to temporarily unlock the read-only parts in order to do system updates, plus a system updater that puts the whole system more-or-less under version control.

I felt a compatibility module wouldn’t offer nearly as good performance/efficiency as a game designed to run on Linux/ext4 - but are you saying that playing via Proton is fine?

Can confirm, it’s fine. There’s some variability of course but taken as a whole the environment is comparable in terms of performance. As long as you’re not playing AAA competitive games that have anti-cheat you are going to be fine with few exceptions. And there are plenty of examples where the proton experience works better than the native.

Check protondb to get a realistic idea of how well games will work.

It’s dropping as in “experiencing a fall in numbers” (back to normal levels) not as in “removing from support” nor as in “delivered to the world”

They may have removed it from the reporting or corrected for some previous change in reporting methodology.

I’ve only heard them called motorways in the UK. It’s obviously pretty close to equivalent of course.

Like, none since there are no freeways in the UK.

Uh yeah, that’s what I said.

I’d hold off on Pop! OS for the moment, until they have Cosmic into an updated release.

I say this as a relatively happy user of Pop

I’m really curious why you think it important that solar noon occurs at or after clock-noon. My only care is that they are close together, it doesn’t matter which is first.

It’s the summer hours that are abnormal though…

give me whichever option that maximizes sunlight during most people’s free time

That’s not changed by adjusting clocks, it’s changed by adjusting work hours.

Big difference from renaming French fries to actual boots-on-the-ground fighting.

I hope you’re right.

I’m okay with that plan, although I’m curious why you find it so important.

In any case that’s a problem with the layout of time zones not with DST.

You may want to invest in some basic literacy

This just gets better and better!

So… change your working hours?

No, the objection is to DST. Noon should be approximately at noon.

I’d take permanent DST over the current retarded shit show though.
