Aren't Odo's clothes just...Odo? Like he's not actually wearing anything. He just changes shape to make it appear like that.
Odo don't need a closet, just a bucket.
Seems like a terrible place to make bread...I mean is there even an oven?
I first I thought others a grow operation because of all the purple lighting.
Then there's Nikola Tesla sitting there with a bulb that has a 2700k color temp and a lot less moths.
It looks beautiful and it sounds like it could be affordable. This kind of thing really excites me.
However I have some questions about the design.
Those ceramic tiles look really cool. They seem to be burnished on the outside. He talks about the cure time being really quick but wouldn't you still have to fire them? Many kilns wouldn't fit something that large.
Another thought is that this seems like it would be terribly insulated. Like wouldn't the ceramic be conductive? I doubt the hemp fibers alone is enough of a thermal block. There might be insulation between 2 layers of tile but the ceramic frame itself seems like it would not be great. I wonder if it would be possible to use timber for the frame?
I also think realistically, you need at least one large flat wall for things like an electrical panel/sub panel and battery banks. In the current configuration, the small dome seems like this is less suitable for a home and more for storage or maybe a green house assuming it doesn't get too cold inside. Maybe it could be improved if it was semi subterranean or had a heat sink like a fish pond?
But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! WE are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF... [collapses in a prophetic swoon as the audience erupts in thunderous applause]

Its called surveillance capitalism.
Microsoft is first and foremost a company that aims to profit on the data it can gather.
If you are working on a pi, you have to pay attention to the architecture that a distro supports.
As someone that tends to learn most by doing. Most of these comments are excellent my only suggestion is to try it. Most Linux distros come with live images which you dont need to install to test out.
Just download the ISO and put it on a USB and then boot from the usb. You can even make a multiboot USB with ventoy.
Or you can use distrosea to demo a distro in a browser.
I also highly suggest using the arch wiki for research. It will probably go into much more depth than you need at first but it will also not dumb things down or over simplify things for you so you might actually learn. Take this doc on what a DE is for instance, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment
Well for games it kind of depends on the specific DRM used and how exactly the game utilities it. DRM means digital rights management but there is a wide variety of DRM and ways it's used.
Some DRM might limit the amount of computers software can be installed on, some might verify the contents to ensure none of the files were changed, some might authenticate with a server before starting up, and some might have kernel level access to read your RAM and log your keystrokes.
I'd also like to add that the yakuza series used for this picture are great games that now come with DRM, unless you buy them on GOG.
I bought a big bundle of the games through steam on sale and Yakuza: Like a Dragon came with DRM on steam. Buy on GOG, its the same game but DRM free.
I should have waited for the GOG sale, now I might pirate it to play the game I bought without DRM.
I love Jellyfin. I did think these recommendations were a bit funny however since they were so off.
Maybe the recommendations need to also look at the movies mpaa rating? Like something PG shouldn't be recommended after watching an R and especially not vice versa.
I guess it becomes complex quickly if you want to add other rating systems to the mix.
(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)
I wonder is this is before his strange planet series.
