My rational thoughts are telling me this is just so Google can stream video at doo doo resolution to save their server bandwidth and get a simple AI model and upscaling filters on device to blow up the image to a suitable level.

My emotional thoughts and conspiracy brain are telling me this is Google getting users used to AI slop by making legitimate human content look more like AI slop. I've noticed these filters occasionally and it really makes videos I know are real people more slop-like.

Not the most experienced bash guru at it but let me see...

• does the while condition have to be within [ ] brackets?
• Also I can't figure out what your condition is, it seems to have an unclosed quotation mark.
• Most bash while-do-done loops I've made have a comparator like -ne for not equal or -le for less or equal to. So for example: while [ $variable -ne 5 ]; do

Bazzite is a great distro if you want to jump in and start playing games and getting the software you need to use your computer. The intent behind bazzite seemed to me that it should be accessible enough for non-technical users but provide access to a large library of programs in just a few clicks. It has a few quirks that make it different than other Linux distros if you pick it apart.

Have you ever used command prompt, batch scripts or PowerShell on Windows? That's what BASH, shell scripting or 'the terminal' is equivalent to on Linux (and mac sorta). It's the virtual scalpel you can use to tinker, fix, control, or totally screw up your system. If you don't have important data to lose, then feel free to just try whatever and learn from mistakes you make along the way. If not, then backups are your friend, and be EXTRA careful doing anything as the root user (that's the admin account with total access over the operating system) or any command like sudo (it might even lecture you about it once)

For self-hosting, if you have a spare machine you can just try experimenting on it to your heart's content. If your search-engine skills are good enough then you should be able to fumble your way through install instructions or tutorials. Another alternative is you could rent a VPS and optional domain for <$90/year, which then you can learn about SSH (secure shell) and fiddle with a computer remotely for fun.

People here can probably give you advice or support, if there's a specific problem you're having and you've couldn't figure it out from the documentation and search.

If this didn't work, the person should take it to Québec small claims court aka Petites Créances, against Booking and the Montréal hotel.

The QC courts tend to have a higher standard of reasonableness favourable to the consumer when it comes to consumer contracts. "Mistakenly didn't jack up the price for the grand prix and charged regular price instead" is not the same as "a typo causing it to offer far below reasonable cost".

Pretty much anyone who has dabbled with mechanical engineering in North America should know about it. Though only those with industrial scale budgets or simplyvthe need for a specific part immediately would order from there.

I love the fact that Ubuntu, Redhat and SUSE are competing for long term enterprise support. The philosophy "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings true, Linux enterprise deployment business make more revenue and the update backports and security backport fixes help the wider community too.

If you know the games she plays, you could test installing them separately ahead of time, so that there would be minimal difference when that switchover happens.

Thank you for sharing! VR has been a well reported pain point, but interesting to hear that Linux Mint handled it well now. I don't own a VR headset -- which one do you have that played nice with Mint, if you don't mind me asking? In case I ever feel like getting my own.
