I don't know about the 13, but on the 16 you can update via USB, no OS required. Kind of annoying, but it works.

It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.

Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.

Yes. Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard, as of Oct 2023

I agree, but unfortunately, there's probably not a good self hosted solution to this specific problem.

I use musicbrainz for music tagging, which is an excellent source for all metadata except lyrics. For better or worse, the only decent sources of lyrics seems to be genius and musixmatch, and neither integrate well with tagging tools like musicbrainz Picard.

If anyone else has found an easier way to do this, I would love to hear it.

Unfortunately, that isn't feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.

We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.

Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.

Yes.

The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.

Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.

Yeah, that always seemed like a transitional name to me. The BSA branding has been so prominent historically, they kinda had to keep it for a while.

I agree with most of your points, but I don't know, I think I would keep the reverent in the scout law, even if the oath changed.

As a (nonreligious) scout, I always interpreted the reverent more as being respectful than actually religious. More like respecting the beliefs of others, or being respectful and solemn in a cemetery or a war memorial.

There's nothing else in the scout law that conveys that feeling, and I feel like the law would be missing it if it were dropped.

Yep, the captchas are great. I've got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.

Endeavour's current iso is still KDE 5 and X11, but if you do an online install it will default to 6 and Wayland. Just make sure to connect to the Internet before starting the installer.
