> Isn’t Marimo becoming the new standard for notebooks?
In my experience, sorta kinda for certain uses but not entirely replacing other options. Marimo is great for when you want to build a more "app-like" notebook that does a task repeatably (it really beats Jupyter at this, even given JupyerWidgets), but for pure experimentation and playing with code, Jupyter Labs still rules the roost for me. I keep both installed for the different purposes that each excels at. This one may fill yet another need. Dunno yet until I give it some play-time.
> There's a reason that churches were closed. It's an event which encourages lots and lots of people to gather in close proximity for an extended duration of time at the same time.
And to sing hymns loudly together in that enclosed space (which almost certainly helps spread a respiratory disease just that much more easily).
> The amount of thinkering these people had omitted because of smartphones and such it's huge.
On the other hand, I've met people in the Godot game engine community that have built entire games on Android devices using Godot (yes, actually used an Android phone and the Godot game engine to build a game; not simply exported an Android game from a PC), so that only proves to me that if someone's got that "hacker spirit", they'll find a way to indulge it, even if the only thing they've got to work with is a smart-phone (and a spare keyboard / mouse layin' around). Problem is that mentality isn't encouraged quite the way it used to be back in the early days of the tech industry. The advertising and entertainment industries have "optimized" the Internet for "engagement", but most definitely not for the betterment of humanity. You gotta have that drive to build and create things or you'll get sucked down the various total waste of life rabbit-holes provided by the brain-sucky industries.
> ... because there is no clear definition for this word - other than simply labeling anything right of socialist as “fascist”.
fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/
noun
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

Sorry, but The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition (and just about every other English language dictionary, I suspect) begs to differ. There is indeed a very clear definition for that word.
> It's fucked, and its going to be a long time to fix it, if possible.
There's no fixing this. We've allowed the most psychotic lunatics on planet Earth control over the most absolutely insane weapons of mass destruction and all the armies and police, and those people have already decided amongst themselves that their little game of "he who dies with the most money wins" is far more important than all the life on Earth.
> ... "but smaller studios are extremely stretched and with no shortage of work as it is."
My experience is that it's never been the "smaller studios" that give Linux the middle-finger the way the so-called "AAA" publishers do. I see a shocking number of small studios and indie developers consistently releasing for Linux, Mac, and Windows and managing to do a surprisingly reliable job of it, where "AAA" companies sometimes can't seem to manage to keep a game running reliably even on the one platform they support.
> Using heroic and wine is so seamless that I don't even remember if I have been running a game natively or not. It just works.
If you're using Heroic on Linux, then there's no question whether you're running games natively or not. You are running a Windows game in WINE (or Proton, a WINE fork). Epic Store doesn't carry any Linux native games (even when a native Linux version exists).
Sometimes I'll up-vote or ignore these if the "wrong" is really common, and there's a reply with a really thorough and valid debunking or explanation attached, just to avoid burying that reply (which TBH, education should be the proper response to someone being wrong). Can't learn if the education is always buried or hidden before people ever have a chance to find it, after all... Or maybe that's the goal for some down-voters, I suppose?
