@heretical_i It's truly telling how, in all these quotes and videos, they only care about the Israeli hostages and not, you know, the tens of thousands of butchered civilians. It's not "stop the suffering" or "end the embargos", it is very specifically "bring them home".
The unfortunate thing is that Israel is largely united behind their hatred of Palestinians. As soon as the hostages are returned, these same people will be clamouring for the genocide to reignite. Their only problem is with the fact that neither Trump nor Netanyahu particularly care about the hostages, only the expansion of Israel to include the entirety of Palestine and beyond.
News To Me... POTUS has hat shelves.

Fuck it. I'm just going to buy a used Windows laptop to compile a Windows port of my game.
Though ideally, I would like to use something either with Windows 7, 8, or maybe even 10 (just to know that it works on older versions of Windows), but every used laptop I come across has Windows 11 on it. Though this is to be expected when Microsoft made upgrading to the next Windows free.

When given the opportunity, I believe the SCOTUS majority refused to cite ANY behavior by a POTUS that they would call illegal, EVEN the assassination of political rivals. Did I get that wrong?
If I am correct (above) then SCOTUS DID grant Trump something akin to royal prerogatives.
But I know almost nothing about the law and would benefit from your corrections of my misunderstandings.

Previously on Debian 12 I followed a guide to install the AAC audio codec for my Air Pods yet after upgrading to Debian 13 I seem to have lost the codec as I can no longer select them in KDE sound settings leaving only A2DP/SBC and A2DP/SBC-XQ, now I’m a bit at a lost as I remember all I had to do was put a aac.so file into /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/spa-0.2/bluez5/

Title misleading: you did not lose "the" AAC codec after upgrading.
How is the title misleading? The AAC codec had no issues working on Bookworm but not on Trixie ie I lost the ability to use it.
You're asking for advice regarding a custom solution that stopped working after the upgrade.
Debian does not package the AAC codec due to licensing issues hence why we’re forced to find these “custom” solutions.
It's just that the title could be misread as a complaint about dist-upgrade being less than reliable. Which it isn't.

Not true. I'm listening to AAC encoded music right now. No extra repositories were even required.

Interesting, going over the documentation from the Debian Wiki they even say it’s not distributed in their repo’s?
The AAC codec is unavailable in Debian 12 bookworm.In the case of PipeWire its support (see the 1021370 request) requires the non-free libfdk-aac2 package. A request to provide free version of the package was declined due to possible licensing and patent issues (see 981285). The only workaround is to build the AAC Bluetooth plugin from sources.
PulseAudio-16 (Debian 12 bookworm) does not support AAC. Despite necessary patches from the gstreamer merge request !1172 are applied to gstreamer1.0-fdkaac, there are pending changes in the PulseAudio Bluetooth plugin, see the upstream merge request !473.
I couldn’t find instructions from Bluez to install the source and I didnt want to risk breaking my current install by just guessing hence why I went with the solution posted on Reddit.
