Well, I appreciate the reminder that I can't trust KDE Discover to list packages in the Fedora repos 😂 sadly necessary in this case!

Updated my initial post but I ran rpm-ostree install plasma-bigscreen and it worked! Will be keeping an eye on things next few times I update to see if it causes any issues.

    Hi pals! When writing this post out I realized the answer is probably "it's not ready yet" but hey, can't hurt to ask. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get KDE Plasma Big Screen on Bazzite? I'm not sure it's it's in usable shape but I would really like to try it. It's in weird territory - I saw reports it would be added natively to KDE Plasma 6.7 but I can't find it on my desktop running Fedora 44 w/ KDE Plasma 6.7.5.

    Going through this page on the Bazzite docs:

    1. It's not in the Bazzite Portal
    2. Not in the Bazaar Store (I don't believe there is a flatpak version)
    3. Homebrew doesn't seem to be applicable
    4. Containers seem like they wouldn't be quite right since it'll have a lot of KDE dependencies.
    5. I don't believe there's an AppImage of it.
    6. rpm-ostree isn't recommended, last resort, etc.

    It may just be too early for this but I figured I'd ask - don't be afraid to just say it's too much of an ask right now 😅

    EDIT:

    At least for the short term, rpm-ostree has worked! I ran the command:

    rpm-ostree install plasma-bigscreen

    The package took a few moments to install but so far it's working well - I was able to open KDE Plasma Bigscreen, open Emby, watch a video, and then exit Emby without having to use a mouse.

    Whether or not I'll have issues updating things in the future, which is noted as a possible outcome of using rpm-ostree here, who knows!

    I did the opposite (so I could self-host) but I really miss Notion. Plugins in Joplin are helpful but I really miss all of the table functions in Notion, Joplin doesn't come close and if it does, it's difficult to setup + use.

    This being said: it was pretty annoying to move all of my stuff from Joplin to Notion. Took a good bit of work to get things close to what I wanted them to be :(

    Not as visceral as a lot of the other options, but it is very annoying when bands (especially smaller bands) formed in the last 15-20 years choose names that make it difficult to find their music online. Saw a band as openers once called "1,2,3". Similar for bands choosing very simple words like "Apartment", "Paint", or "Basement". Even bigger bands like "Shame", "Wednesday", and "Idles" are tricky IMO.

    Name your band whatever you want, of course, but understand the consequences of your actions!

    "last year, OpenAI shut down 4o but brought the model back (for a fee) after widespread outrage from users." "She cancelled her $20 monthly GPT-4o subscription, and coughed up $130 for Anthropic’s maximum plan." They did, I guess it just wasn't enough for them to justify continuing.

    Can't say I have a hugely encyclopedic knowledge but: what if I told you there was a sketch show with Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and Matt Holness (et al)? With the writing staff including Richard Ayoade and Ricky Gervais?

    That show exists, and it's called Bruiser. It got 6 episodes in 2000. As with any sketch show, they're not all home runs, but there are some truly great sketches in there.

    I'd just add that I think part of their popularity comes from their "safe" image. You put on an Imagine Dragons song, you know you're getting a pretty apolitical "pop-rock" song, not like those dumb hippies from the 70s or those indie-rock losers. Which I think sucks, to be clear.

    They're musically enjoyable but I do feel like we, as a society, need to truly reckon with how bad Oasis's lyrics are. My general thought is that they wrote the music first and then said "well let's not worry about having coherent lyrics, let's just have me singing words that sound good at the right time in the song".

    Yeah, there is a lot to like in it, I probably wasn't as kind in my original message as I should've been. I do love that they went more episodic with it, that's for sure! And they have had a few episodes that were pretty lighthearted and funny, which is greatly appreciated. It straddles the line of A/B tier for me.

    I see so many of them around today but I am always skeptical of the scientific validity of them. I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount and I greatly value privacy. Main thing for me would be trying to improve memory.

    Any recommendations are appreciated! If I need to go out and buy a DS and a copy of Brain Age, so be it.
