Most of Percy Jackson took place outside of Camp Half Blood, unlike Harry Potter, which takes place mostly at Hogwarts, so it's not surprising that Hogwarts got more detail. Also, Camp Half Blood had like 50 people in it unlike Hogwarts that had hundreds, so naturally it'd be less noteworthy.

Edit: I just checked and only 6 of 22 chapters of The Lighting Thief take place at CHB.

They sorta do. Flatpak user install puts shims in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/. You just need to add it to your path.

I'm pretty sure flatpak system installs are at /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/ so you'd just add that to path.

The desktop app is called "EA App" not "EA Play" which is where the confusion is coming from. "EA Play" is the game subscription service that's like gamepass.

From the article:

“Industry traffic has declined in major markets like the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Germany. In several markets, we also continue to be negatively impacted by the war in the Middle East,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call.

So it does seem to be working to some extent.

Honestly, good take. I think Starfield is overhated. It definitely isn't Bethesda's best work, but it has its strengths. I just wish they had someone actually advocating for QoL and immersion, like letting you navigate more without the map in ships and masking the warp loading screen better.

Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn't meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it's good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I'd probably have more issues than you will.

Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn't that big of a deal if your install breaks.

It's a good app, but it also hasn't received an update in two months.

The English were the ones that created the term soccer. It grew in popularity in America as soccer, then eventually fell out of popularity in Britain. In fact, a lot of the differences between words in the US and Britain are that Brits started using a different version of the word and Americans kept using the old one. Not all, but a lot.

I prefer nanazip to 7zip because it's just forked 7zip that's been updated for modern windows. They're working on a dark mode too.

The purpose of the comment is to demonstrate banding. The only reason I marked it in bits is to show how banding can be reduced in video encodes by increasing the bit depth, not the specifics depths itself, it's not a technical write-up.

It's an exaggerated example to demonstrate the concept of banding more clearly, not a technical breakdown.
