In that case, couldn't you just use something like btrfs snapshots + Timeshift to pull this off?

I myself haven't done any major blogging in a while (Last year I started one and just used Hugo as a static-site-generator so no ActivityPub integration, but also ended up not really posting much), but from what I've always heard about WordPress the major "selling" point would be its vast ecosystem of plugins and themes.

But that ecosystem is a double-edged sword, because there is tons of malware for WordPress that comes in the form of plugins (I know WP itself used to be exploited a lot in the past, not sure what its reputation on its own codebase is these days).

I've not ever seen WriteFreely before, but I doubt its ecosystem is anywhere the size of WP. Whether that's a roadblocker is of course only a decision you can make.

I'm sorry that I didn't have much more to offer as an answer, but hopefully it's something at least!

Sure, but at the end of the day, for better or for worse, there are going to be tons of people who simply don't care about whose fault it is - they're going to want their system to work.

I was lucky enough that I was finally able to make enough money to swap out my 2080 with a 6700 XT this week (and wow what a significant difference in how the Linux desktop works with AMD cards), but I have plenty of friends who do have Nvidia cards and if they asked me whether they should give Linux a try I'd have to warn them that they're going to get a subpar experience due to it - and all they're going to hear despite me saying that it's Nvidia's fault is that Linux isn't good enough.

So when it comes to Wayland + Nvidia, hopefully Nvidia gets with the program, but otherwise we're (the Linux community) going to be at a crossroads of whether we want to get more adoption on Linux - Nvidia is not a small market by any means.

I don't go and try to proselytize people into coming over to Linux, but there are absolutely plenty of people who do and the mindset of "It's not Linux's fault, its X (ha)" isn't exactly going to work there.

I get it, you get it, but plenty of people won't.

Thank you to you too!

Similar thing here on my MacBook, upgrade went smoothly just needed to force rebuild the kmod-wl package for the Broadcom wireless driver to restore networking.

Here's a link in case anyone runs into the same thing.

It's an AI feature from them that is supposed to play music based off numerous factors, primarily by what you've been listening to recently. It also tries to mix in music that is related to what you're listening to as well, but haven't heard before. But as Spuddlesv2 mentioned below, it sometimes does play music that is out of that - doesn't happen too often to me but when it does, you can click the DJ icon (the queue button becomes the DJ button) and it'll "change it up". It also uses a dynamically AI generated voice based on their "Head of Cultural Partnerships, Xavier 'X' Jernigan" and talks to you the way you'd expect a DJ to if they were playing for you personally whenever its moving to a different set of music. I'm not sure what regions its available in, but if its available in your region (and you're a Spotify Premium member) you'll see it as a playlist option, and generally on the homescreen as well.

Here's a link to Spotify's initial newsroom article on it. And over on this article from August at the bottom they list the markets/regions its available in. If you're in both an eligible "market" and you have Premium but still don't see it, perhaps your app might be out of date? Try launching their Web UI as once you have selected it for the first time, it should appear in the recents area.

That green that you've got there is very easy on the eyes, nice!

I quite like the look! Though, I know that design is subjective to people, so hopefully the old version is still available to choose.

Same with Overwatch's "crossover" with Diablo, I can't recall what the pricing was but I heard it was absolutely insanely overpriced, just like this is.

Oh man, please don't remind me of that disappointment.

On the other hand, I felt like "Drivatars" from the Forza series were decent. They at the very least felt a bit better than the static randomly generated drivers. I'm sure others may have had different experiences though.

Guess we'll see how it turns out though.

I'm not super well-versed on the music side of self-hosted media management, but in regards to running it all the time - you can shut it off, however no one will be able to access any media from it while its offline (unless there's a download/save-offline feature for whichever platform is used).

Sometimes the only way out is through :)

Hit escape to enter normal mode, :q to quit if you don't have any pending changes, :wq to save and quit (or Shift ZZ), :q! if you don't care about your changes (save without exiting)

If you're interested in learning Vim, I'd recommend running vimtutor, which should be present on most systems. But of course, the best way to learn it is to simply use it as much as you can!
