No use using flatpak if the installed apps won't run properly. Be nice if they did, but they don't.

Calibre
Discord
Filebot
Lutris
OpenRGB
Proton Mail
ProtonUp-QT
Spotify

Only apps installed that I haven't had issues with flatpak:
Handbrake
Shortwave
Tor
Putty

Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I'm not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.

TV streaming STARTED fragmented. Just it was all bundled together in a cable subscription. The (ineffective) moderator in that were the cable companies like Comcast, who were always trying to negotiate the price of a channel down. Suddenly with streaming, you could start your own service and getting dropped by someone like Comcast wasn't the death sentence it used to be. The TV content creators are dealing with the end user for the first time.

The music industry long ago learned they get better sales when all their vynal/cassettes/CDs are available at Kmart/Walmart/Best Buy/etc. The music industry DID fragment a bit with online streaming, but those quickly failed. And the artists soon realized that being cool and exclusive to iTunes lead to less money for them.

Well, bummer. They patched the fishing bug. On the other hand, they patched the bug giving me a locket with every Ogopuu kill.

Wish quest objects were deletable after completing the quest. Or made placeable.

If you have old coax cable already in your walls, MOCA 2.5 devices can be used to turn them into 1 Gig Ethernet.

In tech, nothing is for life.

But, I would recommend something you can install OpenWRT or OpenSense. If sorting out hardware isn't for you, I have a Ubiquity UDM Pro and love it. I miss some of the fine tuning of OpenWRT, but the extra security features on the UDM seem worth it to me.

Poor Steelers fans. But at least we'll get some good content from Tree. Pray for his liver.

The talking heads are sleeping on the Lions forgetting that down the stretch they had to start 3rd and 4th stringers just to put a defense on the field.

But I really do think it is our year.

Up next: Michigan Bill will privatize Police, Fire Fighters, Schools, and infrastructure projects.

 

Lions sign former Ravens Guard, Kevin Zeitler, to a one year contract, pending physical.

 

Hey everyone, I recently acquired the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83. However, the 4k80 one looks grainy. 77 and 83 look clear in comparison. Did I just get a bad copy, or does 4k80 have issues?

 

Lions bring back DPJ on a 1 year, $2M contract.

 

Reader is the best run stuffing nose tackles in the league. Should help us in all phases of defense by swallowing up and pushing around those interior linemen.

 

Holmes and Campbell were extended for 4 more years.

 

3 years, $33M.

Not surprising. With us signing a slot corner/nickle and the rise of Brian Branch, Lions were not willing to commit big money to CJ. Good luck CJ.

 

Terms not disclosed yet.

Yay! Skipper is back!

Lions sign the former Raiders CB Amik Robertson.
It's a two-year, $9.25 million deal worth up to $10.75 million with incentives per NFL Network.

According to Adam Schefter:

Lions receive:
CB Carlton Davis, Buccaneers 2024 6th-round pick and a 2025 6th-round pick

Buccaneers receive:
Lions 2024 third-round pick.

Carlton Davis hasn't played a complete season in his entire career. He's good, not great, but I think we got hosed on this one. Carlton Davis has one year left on his contract.

 

Deal is for 1 year, haven't seen any terms yet.

Davenport isn't the Vikings DE I wanted to sign, and was injured most of 2023.

Rumors? Maybes? News about players the Lions have been linked to? Keeping tabs on the North? Get in here!

For anyone that actually signs or agrees to a contract with the Lions, I'll do a separate post.

 

3 years, $20M. $9M guaranteed.
