Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).
Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.
If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.
Psst… O, not O’ - it’s the vocative particle, not a contraction of of or on.
The Start menu is C++/XAML, but the “recommended” section uses React Native for Windows. That still means a performance hit, but it’s got nothing to do with Electron.
Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.
Literally never heard of it. Are you talking about Microsoft 365 Copilot, formerly known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365?

Use whatever software you want, more power to you, but I’m not totally convinced that “chaired by a fascist transphobic multibillionaire oligarch who actively subverts democracy at every opportunity” and “introduced a feature I don’t want to use into my free secure messaging app” are even close to equivocal?
OnlyOffice is Russian-owned, via a holding company in Singapore. When Russia invaded Ukraine and sanctions threatened the business, they obfuscated this, but it’s still Lev Bannov’s product.
The importance you attach to this is up to you, but they try quite hard to hide it.
There’s an optional “tabbed interface” in View > User Interface that’s a lot like the Office ribbon. Like the Office ribbon, it has context-sensitive additional tabs, and you can enable a compact version that shows less but takes up less vertical space.
I’ve not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.
A society predominantly attended by hobbits.
The dialogue system isn’t identical, but we’ll absolutely be including those features as dialogue options. We recently cast the last few open roles, including major characters, so although VA is a bigger job than in any published TES game, we’re well on our way.
So much dialogue and random NPC banter will have to be cut out if they want to voice act every single NPC like they to plan to do.
Egrets from Skywind here. We’re really not cutting anything in that regard (or really in any respect). For lines that are very repetitive, we might reduce the number of NPCs that deliver those lines to avoid auditory fatigue and immersion issues, and some lines are being tweaked to avoid feeling too encyclopedic in their delivery, but our ultimate solution is just a ton of voice actors (hundreds, literally) and a lot of work to implement them all.
If you’re gonna use a single line break with Markdown, you have to put two spaces on the end of each line:
Bacon
Turkey
Mushrooms
Green onion
Garlic clove
Sugar Peas
Kalamata Olives
or put an asterisk and space before each line for a bulleted list:
This is an IBX map, not a FODMAP.
That will work for now - although in my experience the performance of newer OSs on older hardware is not great. Soon, however, new releases of macOS won’t support Intel processors. Tahoe, later this year, will supposedly be the last.
In terms of continental plates, as I understand it, Zealandia straddles the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates, so if this map were split by major continental plates, New Zealand’s north and south islands would be split.
But I’m not a geologist.
If it were divided by continental tectonic plates, it would be welcome news for Southern Asia and most of the Middle East, but terrible news for New Zealand, Iceland, and the Caribbean.
Doubtful, but it could perhaps be The Nightmare Stacks by Charlie Stross?
It has somewhat orc-like elves invading modern Britain.
It was the style at the time (NSFL)
