I felt that was getting spoilery.
If that sound interesting, I definitely recommend watching that episode. Even if you watch just that one episode without having seen the rest of the series. It works as a standalone story without having to have seen any other episodes.
Popular LLM overeliance reminds me of the one episode with that society of people who are all linked to the centralized computer core. The Link™ serves as their instant knowledge database, so they lose the ability to actually remember anything or really think for themselves. And if the Link decides to change something in the database, the people are unaware anything changed. As far as they are aware, the current information in the Link at any given time has always been the truth. If someone who does not use the Link tries to point out that something in the Link is not true or has changed, users of the Link vehemently insist that they must be mistaken, and that the Link is infallible.
Stargate SG-1 S7E5 “Revisions”
I am not entirely sure what I am hoping from this post, but maybe a “yea, it is worth it” would ease my mind a bit.
If that is all you need, I’ll throw you a “yea, it is worth it”. I have been running Fedora with KDE Plasma as my main personal desktop on multiple machines for five years or so. Mainly desktop/laptop, but I even used it pretty regularly on a tablet for a while (I stopped simply because I stopped using the device altogether due to preferring having the full keyboard of a laptop) and even use it on my HTPC. There may be a better HTPC OS, but I am just so used to it everywhere else that it seemed simple enough to get going and I just stuck with it.
Is there a gangstalking community on the fediverse yet?
The original announcement (or some interview or something around that embargo) mentioned that it was going to be cheaper than the Index. Granted that was before the current component crunch and they did not specify whether they meant the base model Index or the full kit with base stations, controllers, etc.

That’s normal wear and tear for over-ear headphones. You should expect for these ear cushions to eventually wear out. They are constantly rubbing against your glasses, earrings, headband, etc. as well as just your ears/head. Unfortunately, they should be considered consumables. Fortunately, as others mention here, there are multiple first-party and third-party replacement pads on the market, so you can replace just the pads as they wear out.
There are two official installation methods for Bitwig: the DEB file (which is used for Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu/Mint) and Flatpak (which is used for basically every other Linux distribution).
While you can install Bitwig on Fedora via Flatpak, Yabridge will not work that way (unless things have changed in recent years). You will be able to install Yabridge and any Windows VSTs, but Bitwig will just not actually see them. There is some issue with how Flatpak sandboxes its applications that makes it so they are not able to access VSTs that are installed in the system through Yabridge. You can tinker around with permissions and whatnot using Flatseal and often resolve issues like this, but I did not have any luck doing that to fix my Bitwig/Yabridge problems.
This repo below has a tool that helps in creating a Bitwig installer for Fedora. It converts the official DEB file into an RPM file and installs the necessary prerequisite packages. If you install Bitwig this way, using this RPM file, Bitwig is able to see and use the VSTs that you install using Yabridge.
From everything I can see, it seems that the Steam Machine will not be bundled with a Steam Controller. It seems that they will always be sold separately.

Just announced. Looks like there will be a separate SKU bundled with a controller. Effectively $79 more than the base SKU, which is less than the $99 price of buying the controller separately (USD).
“All Along the Watchtower” playing in the distance…
why should I care?
if you care about speed and deep integration with the OS this project might be of interest to you.
what?
Python
That is for two devices that are both connected to the same network. If I understand what this program is doing (without actually trying it), it allows two devices to directly connect to one another via Wi-Fi to transfer a file.
With KDE Connect, to send a file from Device A to Device B, your file travels from Device A to a network router (and any number of network switches, etc. in between), then from the router to Device B. It has to make several hops across a number of devices to reach its destination. And both endpoints have to be connected to the same external network.
With this program, Device A and Device B create a direct Wi-Fi connection to each other and just send the file. One hop. Two devices. Direct. The devices are establishing their own ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection for the purpose of the file transfer.
Where do you draw the line? If a user who is generally a very active poster here wrote a useful program and hosted the source on Codeberg under a FOSS license, should they be allowed to make a post sharing it?
So, basically an open source alternative to TinkerCAD? Just glancing over the main page and README, nothing looks like a concern here. Intriguing, if it actually works well.

EDIT: It does not actually work well.
I predict it will be reminiscent to the migration to the threadiverse. Every now and then, we have seen Reddit make some stupid decision, and then we subsequently see a wave of new users migrate to Lemmy. Eventually, one day, I expect Reddit will make such a monumentally stupid decision that nearly everybody bails at once.
That is like what I expect Linux growth to look like. A few waves now and then with each major release of Windows, with each major Microsoft data leak, with each pricing restructuring, etc. Then eventually, Microsoft makes a single fatal decision that causes nearly all remaining Windows users to finally give up hope and migrate.
Is there a Fusion slicer? I just know of Fusion360, the CAD software.
Is that a super common occurrence? Sure, that may happen sometimes, but I can’t say I have seen it so often that it can just be assumed whenever I see a high discount.
