I don't think people who use spaces press spacebar four (or who knows how many) times.

It’s strange, though… this one came out exactly four months ago as of tomorrow, and I’m not sure it’s been translated yet. Possibly the legal teams are working out rights issues, or something.

Well, according to Wikipedia, this comic is a part of new series, One-shot Schtroumpfs par…, so I can see why it would take longer to translate. (Perhaps they'll translate the comic only if the series sells.)

Still, The Smurfs are a major property, and as such, tend to get published in to a slew of other languages quickly enough.

You say that, but at least Czech translations of Smurf comics seem to be slower than, for example, translations of Asterix and Obelix or Tintin. All the Tintin episodes have been translated for a long time, and new Asterix and Obelix episodes are translated with a year’s delay. I wonder if it's because the market for kid comics is quite saturated here by local production.

Don't! SG-1 has an incredible charm.(Especially the earlier seasons where they use less CGi.)

This looks cool! I remember reading some Smurf comics when I was little. I remember them being “kiddy”. Unlike e.g. Tintin or Asterix and Obelix, which I still find charming, I probably wouldn’t read them now, but this looks fun. Is it only available in French?

That sounds terrible! I am already not very good at managing the charge of my phone.

Genuine question: How do you manage not to lose one of the earbuds?

Also what the fuck does the author mean when he says ubuntu is special¿?

There are two ways I read that:

  1. Ubuntu is special just to the author. It's their favourite distribution and it holds sentimental value to them. The author doesn't want Ubuntu to change, because they like it just the way it is.
  2. Ubuntu is special because of its high popularity between new users. For a long time, Ubuntu was/is suggested to newbies because of its ease of use and solid defaults. The removal of the apps could make the experience of future new users worse, so less people would stick with Linux.

Keep an eye on niri. It’s a Wayland scrollable tilling WM inspired by PaperWM, but it’s a work in progress. Other than that, nothing that would fit your criteria comes to mind. For example, i3wm might be made to behave the way you’re describing, it would definitely require some hacking.

I know USB-C is more robust than MicroUSB, but that doesn’t feel like it’s good for the connector. I’d much rather have a bit thicker (Apple said they’re getting rid off the jack to make their phones thinner.) or a bit less waterproof phone (not having a massive hole in the phone helps to waterproof it), than to loose the headphone jack.

Same. I can't imagine having to remember to charge my headphones.

I agree on the Deep Roads. I love the æsthetics. Too bad there’s not much reason to go down there without a blight. If the creators focus more on dwarves, maybe we’ll take a look there again.

Thinking about it more, the only thing I would like is for the game to be well written and fully working on launch.

Regolith packages preconfigured i3wm (and now Sway) alongside basic utility apps (file manager, image viewer etc.) and GUI configuration manager. Notifications and similar stuff, which you have set up manually in some window managers, works out of the box. I’d call Regolith a full blown desktop environment. Too bad it’s intertwined with apt so much, so porting it to distributions other than Ubuntu and Debian is complicated.
