I've always had American friends surprised that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is on Netflix here (UK). Netflix also owned some of the Adult Swim licenses before Channel 4 got the catch-up rights to it.
Flaky
Yup! The fishy glue smell is real, but there's no legitimate reports of the Cybertruck emitting those, as much as people would believe that.
Someone on Bluesky claimed that the Tesla Cybertruck was emitting "human sewage" or "fishy glue" smells with a convincing edit of a Insider News article. Then they convinced me more by editing/making from fiction a Cybertruck owners discussion board to say someone was posting about their Cybertruck smelling like dog pussy. To be honest, when I saw that I should have known it was fake, but I can absolutely believe the Cybertruck smelling rancid from failing electronics.
I believed the fake article since I had a similar situation with a failing minifridge. There was a strong electronic smell coming from it and while it wasn't really "fishy glue" I knew something was failing and disposed of it immediately. I also remembered a YouTuber having issues with her home wiring emitting a fishy glue smell.
I know they screwed over Cartoon Network pretty badly. Closed its main studios and merged it with Warner Bros. Animation, and season 2 of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart was practically done and they sold the franchise as a tax write-off, if I recall.
The most controversial write-off in general however was Coyote vs. ACME, the backlash WBD got for trying to sell that off got them to actually reverse their decision.
A lot of USB disc drives work just fine on Linux nowadays, and it's a matter of what features you want/need, really. I have a pretty expensive Pioneer Blu-Ray writer that connects via Type C, but I needed the extra features at the time so I went for that.
I want a big cuddly plush of Tux now.
Framework and System76 are both pretty good and user-serviceable. I know System76's customer service is particularly really good.
I've only got anecdotal stories but I have heard from my friends that ROM hack projects do this and I personally don't get it. If it’s to hide from the big N, Discord won’t back you there. Just teach your users how to use patch files instead.
I don't think "simplicity" is in a FOSS evangelist's vocabulary.
PlayStation had a habit of cozying up with Epic until a few years ago, where they now release to Steam (and I believe Epic simultaneously but don’t take my word there). Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone and Uncharted are on GOG, too.
Edit: Actually I was probably thinking of Tetris Effect. There was a phase where some third-party PlayStation exclusives were being handed to Epic until 2020.
I got Subnautica for free twice (PlayStation and Epic), I should really look at giving it a proper try. I have the feeling it'd be really good in VR, played No Man's Sky in VR recently and I immediately loved it while on flatscreen it didn't click with me as much.
