I'm a bit concerned with the recent decisions by the Tom and Adam team. I hope they don't hesitate to burn their cards to keep from wasting too much time on a bad challenge board if they have to, otherwise I feel like they are currently set to fall behind again.

I love the button layout in the second unit; the single big concern is that I'm basically pioneering it, so I hope everything goes well.
Emby is Jellyfin's original parent project, but it's "closed source" these days, so you might prefer Jellyfin out of principle, and because Jellyfin can be more agile and accept contributions from others. However, as a commercial project, Emby puts a massive amount of effort into running well on basically every device under the sun and having a good UX. (Core functionality is free but you can pay a subscription for a few extra features.)

Having gone through the whole game, I'd say I enjoyed the stupid humor and relentless fourth wall breaking more often than not ("I see you have over 90 hours in Rocket League, you must really love autosports," a boss said at some point, paraphrasing. "Spooky right? I'm doing a Psycho Mantis. I love Metal Gear. Speaking of which, a shame what Konami did to Kojima.") I even watched the entire crappy 90s horror movie they bundled with the game. The platforming was fine, but way too easy for me! I was a little disappointed that essentially no new levels were introduced after I wrote my first impressions; instead, you revisit the same levels multiple times for multiple bounties, with extra areas getting added but not great variety. The combat could also have used more variety, or maybe that's just my dislike of FPS finally surfacing.
We also reached the end of Big Walk (we did not 100% the game yet; we need 12 more noses, which thanks to some careful planning are all in a contiguous region in the east and southeast, so we're hoping to get through it quickly). In general it has been a lot of fun. I'd say peak chaos was doing the extremely distant four telescope puzzle with only two walkie talkies, but we're good enough at the game that even the purple noses haven't been too time consuming. The final section of the game, which I will not spoil, was fantastic! Everyone should go through it, what a genius game design idea.

To work as it does in windows, autoscroll must drop an anchor and keep scrolling automatically taking the speed and direction from the vector between the anchor and the mouse pointer's current position. If the user is not moving the mouse pointer, scrolling should still be happening until autoscroll is cancelled.

It's an app store for linux for browsing and installing flatpaks from flathub (self-contained software packages that run sandboxed, so it's also more secure). It functions like an ad-free phone app store, has one click install for things and nearly everything I've searched for was there (including koreader).

I used KeePass on Windows for about as long, which was a bit of a mess locally (with Kee(Fox) for browser integration), and moved to KeePassXC on Linux, which kept the same database but works better. On Windows the database was moved over SFTP (directly within KeePass) and it never, ever got corrupted. On Linux it's on a sshfs mount, which is much faster and so far so good.

So i can't put a window in an inner corner without manual positioning and sizing (I could on Windows 10).
If I understand correctly they only did it because it's offset by the returns of the illegal tariffs they collected from customers but didn't refund them for. Still, one might as well take advantage of it.
