<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> that&#39;s the plot of Murakami&#39;s short story Samsa in love btw</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I&#39;m always happy when there&#39;s a new version of Wine, DXVK or Proton.<br />And I still find it funny that the best way to boost performance of GTA IV on Windows is to use DXVK</p>

<p>I shan&#39;t complain too much, though, because he graces us with this incredible sentence just a moment later, on the subject of rabies:</p><p>&quot;Although all highly developed animals are equally responsive to its gothic embrace, the virus has its favoured circle of hosts.&quot;</p>

<p>TIL the word &quot;deglutition&quot;, meaning the act of swallowing. A comparatively common term in the 1800s, it fell into antiquity during the early 1900s and is quite an oddity for a book written in the mid-to-late-40s, especially given that the author was born in 1910. Perhaps the trope of affordable reference books tending to have a certain vintage, much to the chagrin of many students, is one that has persisted for over a century, leading Roueché to perceive it as being current vocabulary.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Personally, I believe that content that is presented according to the principle "I will drop the fediver because it is difficult and therefore I will maintain accounts in it on a residual principle" — from chamber-organic becomes a purely business project from the point of view of the moral component. I'm glad that there is a bridge to the fediver, but it seems to me that the problem is "in the DNA" — the very approach to content. People expect the intimacy of Fedivers — but they get another business project. This generates aggression and a feeling of betrayal. Finally, I was able to understand the author's point of view exactly. And one more thing — there are games for Linux not only for Steam Deck. Goodbye, my friend! I won't be sad! You are really cool! But they don't do that...</p>
