Short answer: yes.

Long answer: see above

Groß die Katze

Depending on how you look at it, it only existed for a very brief moment

If you were an AI, I'd say you're hallucinating.

I can, but why would I substantiate a claim that I never made?

Unfortunately, the drone footage didn't reveal that information

It would be well deserved karma if Nvidia collapsed under their own greed

Didn't spot that, thanks

Not explicitly, but 2011/83/EC does state that it applies to everything but "financial services, gambling, healthcare by regulated professionals, package travel, property transactions, social services, timeshare and most aspects of passenger transport" and reservers. And steam's refund policy is most likely a reaction to this. See https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32011L0083, which mentions the 14 days basically everywhere as a default withdrawal period.

I think this is factually wrong, Steam only introduced refunds because they were forced to for the European market

There is, in fact there are three Street Fighter III's (New Generation, Second Impact and Third Strike), but the cover is talking about Street Fighter Alpha 3, also known as Street Fighter Zero 3 in Japan. It's not related to Street Fighter 3 and is rather a prequel to Street Fighter II with some anime fighter elements thrown in (mostly air blocking) in the graphical style of Capcom's VS series back then.

Is it maybe because their believes aren't rooted in reality? Nah, that's impossible

The average Linux user definitely will not care about reproducibility.

I think a lot of people do care about it, just not under that name. But I think a lot of users asked themselves at least once "what did I do back then to achieve X". Not in that the whole system is reproduced 1:1, but certain aspects. That's something much easier to answer with nix.

Well, you don't need to learn nix as a programming language for a simple installation, you can use it like a slightly different json, which the configuration.nix part was about. You can get the reproducibility aspect from just that, so I wouldn't say you get no benefits at all without learning the language.

There are more disadvantages (like time required to rebuild because you added a single package), so Arch is the better choice depending on preferences. Arch is a very good traditional distribution in my opinion, can't go wrong with it

Android wasn't about making money directly, but about being a platform for Google to exert their monopoly on. Like you would have options to not use them on Android, but it was easy now convenient to use the ready of their stack them something else.

I don't think this is a good move in the long run, but maybe I misjudge the market.

Arch is easier in my opinion, at least if you want to leverage the power NixOS can offer. A simple /etc/nixos/configuration.nix maybe not, but once you enter custom options / submodule territory and use stuff like lib.mapAttrs, I'd say NixOS is quite harder. Or just a more complex overrideAttrs. But then again, Arch doesn't have an equivalent to that...

Well I sit kind of between these

Like I'm not getting a dedicated router and have no server room in my apartment, and my consumer router only supports two VLANs (main and guest). But I'd say the rest is rather sophisticated with all machines defined in my NixOS config, including automated generation of firewall and reverse proxy rules for which I wrote custom modules.

Media server isn't super full but connected to jellyseer and the rest of the stack, accessible over TLS (Let's Encrypt certificates) only, with the option to have users managed via IDM.

However, I only have devices on my network that I somewhat trust, with an Android TV box being the worst offender. The smart TV was never connected to my network.

Would be cool to isolate my work PCs somewhat (I work from home with company provided equipment) but it's just not worth the trouble in my opinion. Not switching out a low power device that does most for two different devices that both use more power (since you usually need a router and a modem).

Without having tried it, I think Bazzite fits a certain user group very well, but is less suited for other users. Which is fine.

I don't really see how it's particularly good for homelabbing, but use whatever works for you.

My niche distribution is cooler than your niche distribution.

I disagree, I think they should continue, but harder, until users understand that AI is good and they actually need it, a slow file manage be damned
