Yeah I really don’t know what a fair price for streaming is. They can charge what they want and I’ll pay if I think it’s worth it.
My current pattern is to keep one or two streaming services at a time and when I run out of shows I drop one and add a different one.
People are disappointed though that the service used to be a much better value. It’s like most things that start out good and become “enshittified” as the service provider tries to extract more and more profit.
Re: don’t plug in a linux drive to window: This is a pretty new (all AMD) machine that had windows 11. I added a new drive and put linux on it and had a dual boot going. Just one time I tried to access the windows drive from linux to try to run a game I had installed there and it corrupted the windows drive. So yeah, I won’t try to connect them.
I installed it from the Software Manager tool in Mint.
There are 6 reviews for it. The top review has this comment which sounds similar to my experience:
4 weeks after DarkRacoon, and I have the same problem. Steam kind of launches, shows up like an invisble window, then closes again. I also need to kill the Steam process, uninstall through Software Manager and then re-install again. All games are still installed, so it’s just annoying to re-install Steam itself. And btw, yes I have ran the dpkg apt update mentioned in the Details section.
As I mentioned, I am new to Mint. I’ve used linux and unix before so I’m not totally lost, but the UI interface is a bit confusing for me, at least how it relates to the inner workings. So I guess you advocating that I figure out how to use flatpack. I assume it works sort of like Chocolatey on windows or Homebrew on Mac.
I’ve been thinking of a few prominent people in real life who should be visited by three ghosts. What if we woke up on Christmas and all of the sudden Trump and Musk weren’t selfish and evil?
Oh good I was looking for this comment.
If this is really a Forbes article (it’s just a picture not a link), it is one of an endless stream of opinion pieces by monied interests that pit the populace against each other to distract what the billionaire oligarchs are doing.

Maybe you would like that fan fiction Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. A large part of it is poking fun at how magic works and how wizards behave and how dumb Quidditch is.
For example there are all kinds of rules about Transfiguration that don’t make sense and that is explored quite a bit.
