Spotify is adding new personalization features to Discover Weekly, the popular and influential playlist streamed by millions of users. The regularly updated playlist will now have buttons for genres like pop, R&B, and funk at the top, allowing users to tell Spotify what they want more of.

The Discover Weekly playlist is one of the more noteworthy things Spotify has introduced: the company says songs on the playlist have been streamed more than 100 billion times. The weekly mixtape — generated via Spotify algorithms — promised to introduce users to new music that they might enjoy, pulling from listener data. But more recently, [there have been complaints](https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-playlist

Hello all!

What a weird month it has been.

The biggest piece of news is the impending closure of lemm.ee. We've been fortunate enough to be recommended by a lot of people so have taken in a large amount lemmeegrants/refulemm.ees.

Server Updates

Since the closure announcement of Lemm.ee we've taken in over 800 new accounts. We have also been made the default instance of the Voyager app, which has seen some new users directed our way.

This has been great for helping to grow the instance, but has really introduced some performance flaws when a user imports their account settings. For most people this is usually not noticeable, but if you import a very large settings file, it can actually bring the server to a standstill. For example, here's one that brought the server to a crawl for 30 minutes:

I consider myself a decent Linux guy. My favorite distro has been Void. Gentoo was great but just a lot of work to maintain. Arch has everything under the sun and is easy to use.

I'm NOT a dev.

I'm not going to replicate my system and if I wanted to do so it would be easy to get a package list on any of my usual distros and automate an install with a script...... So why should I use Nixos?

I'm trying but it seems like a lot of work with a weird learning curve.

I CAN learn it. I'm sure of that.... but I feel like I'm missing the magic that I see in the love from you Nix guys.

[Updated] I'm going back to Void as my main... BUT I'm still not done with Nix. THANKS to All

Got my new ssd installed in the deck, booted into recovery and started reimagining. It was going fine for a while then I started to see a lot of errors and it hung for a while.

But after sitting at the above image for a while it started moving again. Now it is stuck again, and for far longer than before. Is it safe to turn it off and go back into recovery?

Update: rebooted and it booted into Steam OS, and is updating.

Update 2: after the reboot and update I am not signed in and installing games.

Nayib Bukele is so popular with the US right that his refusal Monday to free a Maryland man with no criminal record mistakenly sent to a supermax prison in a foreign country was greeted by MAGA types as being, basically, badass.

The Salvadorian president who has dubbed himself “the world’s coolest dictator” was already a Trumpworld darling partly because of his gift for authoritarian showmanship— and his apparent success reducing crime by jailing alleged criminals with little due process. But his US popularity is

Summary

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a large-scale law enforcement operation at his presidential residence.

Yoon, who declared martial law on Dec. 3 to counter an "anti-state" opposition, had defied multiple summons for questioning.

Law enforcement overcame barricades and resistance from Yoon's security service, detaining him under accusations of rebellion.

The liberal opposition supports his arrest, while Yoon's party calls it unlawful.

Yoon’s impeachment awaits a Constitutional Court ruling, which will decide whether he is formally removed or reinstated.

Summary

After initial dissent, Republican Mike Johnson secured the US House speakership with 218 votes, overcoming opposition from three GOP members, including Thomas Massie, who backed another candidate.

Johnson, endorsed by Trump, promised fiscal reforms, stricter oversight of government spending, and advancing an "America First" agenda.

His team worked behind the scenes to negotiate support, including assurances on budget cuts demanded by conservative Republicans.

Johnson’s victory avoids prolonged voting chaos reminiscent of Kevin McCarthy’s 2023 election but highlights ongoing GOP divisions over policy and leadership.

Summary (updated)

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law late Tuesday to counter "anti-state" forces, accusing opposition lawmakers of pro-North Korean sympathies.

Parliament, controlled by the opposition, quickly voted to nullify the declaration, calling it unconstitutional.

Protesters and lawmakers denounced Yoon's move as authoritarian, echoing South Korea's pre-democracy era.

Military personnel withdrew following the vote, and Yoon promised to lift martial law after a Cabinet meeting.

Critics warned of democratic backsliding. This marks South Korea's first martial law declaration since democratization in 1987.

Update: I was able to induce this behavior to at least have a lead, on EndeavourOS (Arch btw) with KDE.

KDE System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Enabled by default. If disabled, I see exactly the same video pauses, on both fullscreen and windowed wine/proton-ge games.

Original post: How do I even begin to troubleshoot this?

Steam games work fine. Linux-native games work fine. In Wine games, the game video seems to pause for 1.5s, then plays for 2.5s. Audio is unaffected. It seems like the frames are lagged, not lost; when video resumes, the "missing" frames play back very quickly, like the video is "catching up". This happens even in the games' launcher windows before 3D rendering or GPU load occurs. Mouse pointer does not lag or pause.

This happens in both wine-ge 8.26 and WineHQ Staging 9.22.

The weirdest thing is that without changing any settings, the same games will run fine about 1 out of 20 launches.

Thanks for any input.

I was curious to see if the new (old) Red Dead Redemption can be played on macOS through a compatibility software (Whisky or Crossover).

But it seems the game can't be played because the DRM used on it ins't compatible with Crossover.

I'm curious if the already cracked version can be used on Crossover or Whisky. Has anyone tested it? If it works, then it's only way to play the game on macOS.

Edit.: Here is some testing that the game can't be played on macOS now. There are two ways of playing it: emulating the Switch version through Ryujinx or the cracked version.
