Recently built a PC for my partner to replace their 11+ year old Xbox. I thought they'd be able to use the Xbox windows app to play their purchased titles. But no. Microsoft wants you to subscribe to play games you own on your PC. No more money going to them. Guess that's what they want...

You managed to include the ~~misery~~ (Freudian slip?) most important info in a short space. F#$k Comcast, indeed. Happy customer of municipal fiber here.

Watch the L8Wrtr edits of the prequel trilogy, then the Despecialized versions of the OG trilogy. Some say to watch in release order. I don't think it matters as much as watching the content as it was originally created, and without the stupid fluff in the prequel trilogy.

But MS changes the layout every new release. LibreOffice is customizable, and stays the way you choose.

Gonna need that math co-processor

The readme explains it well enough that my son did it when he was 16.

Download LTSC, install it, run the script to activate.

Alternatively, you could simply reinstall your owned copy and use Steve Gibson's tool to block upgrades.

I like this idea. It reminds me (a little) of adnauseam.

For OP's sake, I'll add that many, many games in steam can be jiggered to work in compatibility mode on Linux. Its as simple as telling steam to use compatibility mode on all games, and checking proton.db for tricks.

With Heroic launcher, Epic, Amazon Prime (untested for me) and GoG too.

The only games I have so far been unable to play are Fortnite and an obscure FPS I forget rn, both with EAC.

WINE is the last thing I try after these easy solutions.

It’s alleged that without obtaining permission from rightsholders, the men – who appear to work for the same company – ‘extracted’ the text and other distinuishing features from the movies, added relevant images, then displayed the resulting articles on a website.

So... A makeshift script? Isn't that like copying song lyrics? Its the idea, not the expression?

Ahh yes, the first one. I thought they were the same, and the second one was zoomed in for my old eyes.

Weighing in at over 9,600 URLs, hidden deep inside is one of our URLs which, according to the notice, should be disappeared by Google for the remainder of eternity, for violating copyright law.

That article contains no copyrighted material apart from our own, and doesn’t link to any infringing content either.

It's not a link to the track, but their own reporting on the leak.
