  • I do like the dedication to Mint! To be honest it’s generally my default pick if I need to slap Linux onto something. I actually tried putting it on the gaming table machine but for reasons I didn’t feel like digging into it just did not cooperate, and Debian did.

    CachyOS on the luggable gaming machine is mostly just because I hadn’t used it before and wanted to give it a spin. So far so good.

    As for the Windows machine, it’s a gaming rig and at the time it was built, pre-steam deck, Linux wasn’t quite yet in as good a position for that as it is now. I just can’t be bothered to switch it mid-stream as it were. It’s almost certainly going to be the last Windows machine I ever own though.




  • Ugh, I’ve run into this as well.

    Several times now I’ve commissioned a professional artist to create posters of D&D/Pathfinder groups I’ve run campaigns with. I’m in a new campaign that started this month and did an initial look around to begin scouting out an artist for another and my god. Having to sift through all the obvious AI “portfolios” is bad enough, let alone trying to suss out the ones that are using it in less obvious ways. I’ve settled on filtering my search to only artists for whom I can find works prior to 2023 or so. It’s insane.

    A lot of food preparation techniques of ancient origin come from efforts to store or preserve food. Pickling, smoking, and salting being among the most obvious.

    Bread likely shares a similar lineage. Wheat that has been ground to flour is much easier to store, keeps for a long time, and can be reconstituted into more appealing food in small batches as needed.
