This is a dup post, I’ll copy my reply to here:

I'm glad to find that Crypt of the NecroDancer is Vancouver-based! It's time for me to buy DLCs for it. Besides, I'd like to buy their new product in 2025, Rift of the NecroDancer

Crypt of the NecroDancer is also on a promotion on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/crypt_of_the_necrodancer Rift of the NecroDancer (2025) is not on GOG yet: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/rift-of-the-necrodancer-2025

I like GOG for its DRM-free policy, and I’d support GOG for their effort to keep old games running.

We’d avoid perfectionism here. Buying a Canadian video game is great. Buying it on GOG is even better

Personally I think playing with controller is quite smooth and relaxing. If you already have PS+, I think it worth spending a dozen of hours to have a try.

Free upgrade is always great. Sadly, Tears of Kingdom is not on this list

I had been using Clorox's Liquid-Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Remover for years.

I had stockpiled it during CT's promotion last year, and it's used up now. Is there any Canadian replacement?

Thank you

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions. I think I'd change my habit. I'm going to install a drain hair catcher to my bathroom sink, instead of using chemical hair remover twice a year

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

LibreOffice is the top open source choice, and it has been the default choice for Linux users for more than a decade. I'd recommend everyone to have a try

There might be some changes that could improve it further:

  • ~~Remove Brave~~
  • ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
  • Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
  • Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
  • ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
  • Maybe add Delta chat
  • ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
  • ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
  • ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
  • ~~Add aurora~~
  • ~~Add SearxNG~~
  • Add SimpleX
  • Add lichess
  • Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?

Temporary improved version:

From To Compromise
X, Threads Mastodon Bluesky
Instagram Pixelfed
YouTube PeerTube ReVanced (just blocks adds)
Reddit Lemmy
Netlix, Disney+ 🔨 Jellyfin
Google Meet, Zoom Jitsi Meet
Google Docs Etherpad

I have been a Pringles lover for more than a decade, and it's time for me to find an alternative one. I like the saddle-shape and I don't know which brand provides it.

r/BuyFromEU suggests some local brands, but that's not my case:

Any suggestions? Thank you

Today I purchased Citterio Sliced Assorted Meat at Costco. This is my first time buying Italian Panini sliced assorted meats. Could anyone tell me that which is in my plate?

  • Sweet capocolla
  • Mortadella
  • Prosciutto cotto

Thank you.

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

This is annoying, while there are a few things we can do

  1. Report this issue at https://webcompat.com/
  2. Change UA to trick this website https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
  3. Best choice, change another store :)

"just browse the internet" doesn't indicate that you don't need a powerful computer in 2023. Modern browsers are really heavy - and rendering websites are much more complex now.

Unless you're really frugal about your PC budget, I think it's definitely "to-go" for 32G

I had been using WSL2 for about one year. The experience was terrible compared to a Linux host. (Sadly I can't change the system on my work laptop). However, it was much better than Cygwin, msys2 and powershell - based on my experience.

If your host OS is windows and you're interested in Linux, I think WSL2 is a good way to have a try

  • Find an open-source software that you're interested in, but your main distro doesn't provide it in the official repo. Be a packager for this software.
  • Open your distro's wiki, rewrite (or contribute, if already good enough) a page or section.
  • Try the bleeding-edge version (or very-early testing) of your favourite distro, and submit some test results, regarding to your hardware.

IMHO these tasks are interesting, could learn a lot from these tasks, and other linux users could benefit from these work

While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.

No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)

but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I'd manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.

Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can't tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin
