The one podcast I listen to every week as it comes out is Lateral, a trivia show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests.
Other than that, I have a thing for casual and conversational history podcasts, including:
- The Lesser Bonapartes (old but gold, the full backlog's only available on spotify under the title 'From the desk of Glen')
- Dead Ideas
- Some 'leader ranking' podcasts with the same formula: Rex Factor (British monarchs), Totalus Rankium (Roman Emperors and then American Presidents) and Pontifacts (Popes)

Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson's History of Byzantium. He's still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan's after it gets going.

Carl Humpfries's Piano Handbook and Piano Improvisation Handbook are great, and cover enough for even an absolute beginner. I like noodling around with no previous musical knowledge, and they work very well for that. I think both include pretty decent sections on rhythms, and discuss pretty varied styles.

I've never had this as an issue with KDE. Do you have the command for prime render offloading on the Steam launch options? I usually launch my games through Lutris and it handles that pretty well.

I usually prefer having any side machines running something more stable than the main one, as I'm always bound to use and mantain them less often.
Good luck finding something more stable than Debian tho. Maybe something like LMDE, that just got a new version out and is looking great, or trying out an immutable distro.

I'm not a Gnome user, but I'm geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn't get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

The Amazon is so close to the Equator that the seasons don't really affect the temperature that much. The main difference is that southern hemisphere winter is the dry season, hence the drought issues right now.
Not to downplay the role of climate change and deforestation, of course.

Anything by The Correspondents:
All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.
Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.

KDE with Tela icons, Breeze cursor and Nordic theming. I experimented with a few different themes with the Nord colorscheme, but it seems like Nordic is still the best looking and most consistent.

How do you think LMDE and MX compare to just installing Debian directly, these days?

Some of the inventions that historically took way longer than you'd expect: the shoe, the wheelbarrow, and the stirrup.
Also archival techniques so that history's not as messy the next time around.
