    Pegasus frontend (I think, you’d need to look into it yourself) ticks all your boxes, and can be themed to look incredible but the setup process is highly involved.

    Personally, I gave up on it. Seems like a great program so you might think it’s worth the effort.

    Part of the reason I gave up, I should say, is that I’m using my pc as a home theatre device as well as a games console. I went with kodi and advanced emulator launcher instead, which was similarly involved (I had to write very basic shell scripts for each game, apart from the emulated games) but the difference is I was already using kodi for my live tv and video streaming interface

    I agree with this. If I’m scrolling through a Linux forum and someone is stating something demonstrably incorrect, I don’t want someone to stumble on the post and run into difficulties so I always downvote that particular post and upvote the posts with the right answer.

    Now, if I disagree with someone that’s different.

    Like if I’m in a thread about your favourite tv show, I don’t downvote someone I disagree with because it’s subjective. I might upvote the people I agree with, but it doesn’t seem fair to downvote someone’s opinion.

    But some things are either right or wrong, and your example of bad technical advice is one such thing

    So that’s Mount for around £50m, Onana for £45m, presumably leaving around £50-60 million for Hojlund, and then whatever comes in from sales for a third or fourth choice centreback to replace Maguire and maybe another midfielder?

    I’d be happy with that to be fair.

    I’m playing championship manager in my head here but, assuming these new players actually work out, 1) a new goalkeeper to replace de gea 2) a new midfielder to replace eriksen 3) a new striker to replace ronaldo/weghorst/martial, 4) someone like amrabat to deputise for casemiro 5) a new centreback to deputise for Varane

    A hell of a transfer window if it plays out like that

    Hmmm. I agree they’re no threat to the US in the sense that they’re not going to suddenly invade.

    As for the performance of their military in the Ukraine war, I’m not convinced they’re as “corrupt and poorly managed” as they’ve been presented in western media. Granted, the assault on Kiev was a shitshow but things have changed a lot since then, and the most likely outcome right now looks like some sort of victory for russia in that war - probably with Russia ending up in control of all the territory they claimed to have ‘annexed’, plus a corridor including Odessa.

    It’s worth remembering Ukraine’s military was and is enormous and extremely well equipped with modern tanks, rocket artillery, all the ammunition the west is capable of manufacturing and shipping, satellite surveillance, anti air defences, everything, and seem (at least to me) to still be losing the war.

    I read this… https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/the-darkness-ahead-where-the-ukraine

    Maybe John mearsheimer is full of shit, and too pessimistic, but what he outlines in that article is grim
