I appreciate the input. I actually tried that first! I would rather a clean install. But in this unique case, I can't do a clean install. Without wasting your time with an explanation; basically that is impossible in this case. I must make a downgrade happen, hence being at the end of my rope, seeking advice from you folks.

I only recently learned of this feature and it's amazing. One of the main reasons I'd consider moving to Linux. How come Microslop is not spreading awareness of it?

Is there any cleaner way to create a bootable USB than Rufus in 2026?

If I wanted to incorporate Windows updates (KB5074109 specifically) into my ISO, how would I get the .cab file for it?

Non-premium? non-premium spotify goes up to 128kbps vorbis while non-premium youtube can do 128kbps opus - which is theoretically transparent. So youtube wins.

With premium, Spotify offers lossless as well as 320kbps vorbis (which is supposedly transparent too), while youtube offers 256kbps opus (and aac). If you include lossless, spotify wins, excluding lossless, youtube wins. I'm not sure if every audio source on youtube supports 256kbps but whatever anyway.
And I'm only mentioning excluding lossless because it uses a much higher bitrate than 320kbps and you might not want that much data use.

I bought an LG Blu-ray drive 8 years ago. Its DVD laser is already dead and I don't expect the BD one to be alive either.
Optical drives are a scam. Their lens degrade over time even if completely unused.
Oh, I also have a slim DVD burner pulled from a laptop, it is 10 years old and also stopped reading discs.

I think it's extremely rare.

Clankers say:

What fails in an optical drive?

Laser diode slowly weakens over time (even when unused, but very slowly).

Spindle motor and tray motor wear with use.

Lens alignment can drift with heat, shock, or age.

the game's combat system was so fucking broken, parrying had no cost of opportunity so you could spam it constantly at no penalty
boss attacks were way too slow and telegraphed
special abilities were broken (there was a firecracker thing that stunned everything too easily)
objectively a bad soulsborne
>er and nr
the best, but only because they're the latest and most balanced (and yes i know er is retardedly broken but you just limit xourself)
nr roguelike format is the future but they really need to come up with procedurally generated stuff
a procedurally generated soulsborne would shatter reality itself

They can only jam in sporading conditions and only in specific areas. Keep the car moving and point it towards the other way and you get good signals again. But really that starlink blocking was only temporary, SpaceX restored the starlink back to ~80-90% success rate. The regime hit it hard during the first few hours and flooded the starlink channel bandwidth , then spacex opted for different tactics

Not if you auto-hide the pane

Since I have usually around 300 tabs open, vertical is only way to go.

Once you go vertical, you don't go back. Firefox lags a bit behind with them, but we have Zen now.

>value of human labor
nonsensical phrase. What decreases is the necessary human labor for the purposes of present production requirements.
>How does the average person fare in this new world
This is not a private problem. Either new markets emerge that leverage the AI-assisted human labor force, or wages start decreasing and commodity circulation falters, which leads to a generalized economic crisis. In the second case it's not the average person that fares poorly, it's most people. This is like capitalism 101.

Ngl chatgpt kinda sucks now given how limited it is now and how expensive it is now. 2024 was better than it is now.

It's not automation. It's much simpler. Supply and demand. There are too many people, so supply goes up. When supply is up, the price goes down.

Stop migration. Stop fighting "demographic crisis". (which is crisis for capitalists and a miracle for the people)

This winter mood can be further enhanced by swapping the taskbar/icons/window theme and colors. Honestly I don't mind the Ubuntu font for the system, it is easy on the eyes.

Anything to do with xscreensaver and lockers looks like amateur hour hell thoughever, and the Luna theme changing the notification background color doesn't do well either.

Do you guys have any artist suggestions?

I like messing around with both western and eastern artists but I need more eastern recommendations

right now a few artists that I'm using are;
urata yuusuke, kiriyama taichi, by iizuki tasuku, sugimori ken, tony taka, nishimura kinu,
