"Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021, was shot and killed outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan, New York City, on December 4, 2024. He was in the city to attend an annual investors meeting for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare. Authorities believe the attack was not random. Thompson had been criticized for UnitedHealthcare's rejection of insurance claims, and his family reported that he had received death threats in the past. The shooting occurred early in the morning, and the suspect, initially described as a white man wearing a mask, fled the scene."

(edit) I would like to point out that Luigi Mangione is only a suspect and there are currently doubts about the integrity of the evidence.

It seems that YouTube is killing them all but I don't know the technical details, via FreeTube I noticed, from this link (https://api.invidious.io/), that there are very few left and they require signup, and probably financial support from users.

My research and AI's responses seem inconsistent or unsatisfactory, so I prefer to ask these questions to Xbox players, thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!

1. Are the games actually emulated or are they just downloaded digitally using the disc as a key?
2. Does the compatibility transform games significantly or is it a remaster-like optimization?
3. Is it possible to use this feature offline therefore not caring about any Microsoft server support cessation?
4. Are there significant differences in how backward-compatibility works on Xbox One versus Xbox Series X?
5. What are some other aspects of this backwards compatibility feature that are worth mentioning?

Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

Looks like I've a bug when my pages/tabs reset to default (Home, Popular, All), if I logout from my instance then it restore my personal settings. I don't know if it matters but I'm on slrpnk.net

There's a wiki or something to learn Godot with a maintained textual resource?

Also there are common practice/scripts and tips to learn somewhere?

Hi, looks like I can't find infos on that. I'm on Arch Linux and the post-install path is in /home/USER/ES-DE but I would prefer more something like "/home/USER/.emulationstation"

EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) user here.

Is this just me? Everything works perfectly, but if the controller turns off and on again while a game is running, it's no longer recognized, and this forces me to restart the game.

I don't know how useful it is but I tried to join the input group, nothing changed.

The beautiful games I own are Snake Pass and Sonic Racing Transformed, both of which have sound issues (muffled audio) when played through a cheap soundbar via bluetooth, audio for all other games with this soundbar works perfectly.

I'm on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) using repository Steam, KDE Plasma and Pipewire. I've tried all the different proton versions (experimental, 9, 8, 7, 3, etc) without success. Maybe I could solve it by removing pipewire but I don't think it's worth worsening the entire OS, since it's only about these two titles.

Q:

• The problem seems to not appear on other distros, like Debian (maybe due to different packages / pulseaudio?).
• Coincidentally it only happens with these two SumoDigital games, could proton be missing some component commonly used in these games?
• Since I can't find any relevant solutions online, I assume that the problem only exists with this type of Bluetooth audio device.

[edit] AtM I "solved" it by connecting the speaker via cable.

I'm sorting out my collection of native games and ROMs, Pegasus requires some forethought to customize the collections as I want but it seems like the best option. Do you know of interesting and equally customizable alternatives like Pegasus that are not proprietary and are comfy with the gamepad?
