I don't think I like that this trailer shows characters' faces. Did the original game do that? It has been years since I played, but my memory of it is entirely first-person perspective, which was an important part of it being so very immersive.

This is one of the two that jump to mind. Red Dead Redemption 2 had beautiful, atmospheric storms that were a sight to behold at a distance. Breath of the Wild brought the lightning up close and personal.

There's nothing quite like deciding to take a fight in a thunderstorm while the only gear you have left is metal, or carefully sneaking up on an enemy only to have a bolt of nature's electric fury crash down two meters behind you and shake the ground you're standing on. Especially in surround sound.

Yeah, that was a pity. I agree that guy did great sound design for the first game, but great art doesn't make up for the harmful societal views he supported. I don't think I would want to work with him, either.

It's better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.

A Phoronix comment says this increases power draw by more than 10W at idle. That's pretty wasteful for systems that spend most of the day at or near idle. (And AMD's recent GPUs already have a reputation for idling with too much power draw on linux.)

I hope the change comes with an easy to revert it. If they can't figure out how to automatically enter and leave this mode on demand, we need a way for a script or gamemode hook to do it. Efficiency is important even in desktop systems.

Or to put that another way, it would take putting the teeth back in regulation (among other things).

I think Below Zero was made by a (mostly) different team, which could explain at least some of the differences. I wonder who will be working on this new one.

You might also like to know:

• If game crashes cause your system to freeze, it might not be the crash itself, but systemd hogging all the system resources while it writes a massive core dump to a file or journal (which can take a long time). You can disable this behavior with Storage=none and ProcessSizeMax=0 in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.
• Debian-based systems have a useful zram config skeleton in /etc/default/zramswap if you install the zram-tools package.
• The Arch Linux wiki has more info on zram tuning, including swappiness and other kernel related parameters.
• The /sbin/zramctl command will tell you how zram is doing.

Cryptocurrencies are not reliably fungible, nor stable, nor widely accepted. They have their uses, but they are not suitable replacements for PayPal and not what OP asked for.

Do you mean that mailing abortion pills is a federal crime, or that interfering with the mail is a federal crime?

There is no privacy-focused PayPal alternative in the US, in part because US money transfer laws and policies (e.g. Know Your Customer) directly oppose privacy.

However, there are a couple of new projects that might eventually lead to something less bad for privacy than PayPal is:

• GNU Taler, if they ever get any exchanges, and they either figure out how to mitigate the high fees for wire transfers or use some other settlement method when people on different exchanges make small payments. (Their plan to use batch wire transfers won't help until the exchanges get a lot of adoption and frequent use. Of course, high fees discourage adoption and use, so this might not ever happen.)
• FedNow, if banks ever use it to offer appealing person-to-person payment services instead of just using it for themselves and their business customers.

The rest of the sentence you truncated points out forwarding services. Yes, others exist beyond the four I mentioned, of course.

Edit to clarify: Your "it doesn't" argument is that you can use forwarding from other domains that you own. Indeed you can, but that's not a counterargument, because those are forwarding services. They do exactly what I described: the same thing as the example forwarding services in my original comment. You still have to maintain the them, as well as maintain the extra domains.

I don't know if Element Web/Desktop was affected by the vulnerabilities in the title, but another one (also announced today) is fixed in Element Web/Desktop v1.11.81.

The correct fix is to get the site maintainers to stop rejecting email addresses based on the characters they contain. They shouldn't be doing that. Sadly, some developers believe it's an appropriate way to deter bots, and it can be difficult to educate them.

If they won't fix it, the workarounds are to either not use those sites, or to give them a different address. Unfortunately, the latter means having to maintain multiple email accounts, or forwarding services like Addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, or DuckDuckGo Email.

For those who don't know, Chicago was the code name for the 32-bit successor to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, eventually released as Windows 95. It was also a departure from Microsoft's earlier desktop interface style, introducing the start button, task bar, and system tray.

The distro doesn't matter.

Historically, your choice of desktop environment could affect FPS due to interference from desktop compositors, but most desktops these days are smart enough to disable compositing when full-screen apps (games) are active, or have a very fast compositor, or don't have one at all.

I no longer consider any email app to be okay for privacy if I can't build it from source code. There are just too many opportunities and incentives for someone to exploit it. That could be the developer, or the maintainer of some obscure code library, or a company that buys one of them out, or an attacker who found a vulnerability. We no longer live in a world where it's reasonable to think we'll get privacy from communications software that we can't inspect.

Thankfully, we also no longer live in a world without options. There are more than a few email apps with nothing to hide. :)
