Zevia is quite tricky to get in the UK (not seeing any Vanilla Cola imported here) but if I see an opportunity to get it imported, I'll go for it.

Tangentially related, Amazon has a lot of Green Cola, don't know if that's a brand people know or not but they claim to use stevia as well. Edit: Green Cola does contain sucralose so if you're trying to skip that one too, keep that in mind.

Cherry vanilla? I thought that was American! Haven't had it in a while since the importers don't have 'em in stock.

Switched to Windows from Linux for a bit because I was having a few problems with Linux, but the main one is that seemingly, spotty 5Ghz connections cause iwlwifi to panic, which means no wifi. Windows does not have this problem. (relevant chip is the Intel AX210)

It's annoying because the UX on KDE is objectively better than Windows and I don't want to have to deal with slower connections because the wifi driver has a dumb bug, and reporting the bug to the LKML is something I do not have the knowledge to do.

Full-sugar Coca-Cola Vanilla. Was a bit of a hit in the UK in 2000s, was revived in 2013, then discontinued in favour of their aspartame-filled mess. I tried the "zero sugar" variant and it just tasted like cheap cola with a hint of vanilla. I've since gone for Tim Hortons' French Vanilla since they started expanding here.

Sometimes it might be sold off. I know LTT sold their Steam Deck to DankPods because Valve still haven't brought it into Australia.

I don't doubt that. But you know how Nintendo is and the collateral damage this drama caused.

Agreed. There has been cases of malware sneaking its way into the AUR.

Now it could be avoided by checking PKGBUILDs and I can trust that the reader is checking those (are you, reader? 🤨). But do you have that trust for every user?

I prefer Void Linux's way of handling packages, where it all goes through one ultimately trusted git repo that gets packaged up if the license allows it, otherwise using xbps-src. If it was a bit less DIY compared to Arch I'd be hopping onto it tbh.

I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I've kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.

me, wondering why my VHDs in 86box kept disappearing until I realised I needed to set the permissions in my distro's Flatpak settings:

I won't lie, I'm concerned for the long-term progress of the emulator. Yuzu and its ilk shined because of the talent backing it. That's not to say Suyu won't get such talent, but given that those involved in Yuzu/Citra won't ever touch anything past maybe the Wii and emulator devs - even those unaffiliated with the Nintendo emulation scene - are getting scared right now, I'm not sure.

I dunno about non-driver anti-cheats like EAC but Genshin Impact's kernel-level anti-cheat has been used to aid ransomware. Driver-level anti-cheat is certainly malware, that has been settled since Sony-BMG.
