Brazil uses Civil Law, as many other countries do, not Common Law as in the USA.
Brazil does have the concept of Jury, but this case fits a different criterion.
There are some conditions for a jury in USA as well.

I remember the first comment I got on online was “you suck”. But it was soon drowned by encouragement words and constructive feedback.
About Hollow Knight, by the time this got posted on reddit, the game was already funded through kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/11662585/hollow-knight
What this image does not show is the amount of support this post received, more than 20k upvotes and plenty of endearing messages on reddit only.

I like the dark feel of it, but with light-hearted game play and sound effects. Good shit.
If I sort by votes, I had to scroll a bit to get to that 756 votes message.
It is important to filter and properly process the messages you receive. There are some mean and unnecessary messages on that image (and on the reddit thread), but they do not show the full picture and at that time could easily be ignored.
I think mouse and keyboard only works properly in Desktop mode. Not sure if intended or a bug.
My suggestion is to open a support ticket with Valve/Steam. They might help you troubleshoot it, but most likely they will escalate the problem to their dev team as a feature request / bug report.
I second this if he can find a 2013~2017 for free/cheaper, I use an old Macbook Air with EndeavourOS mostly for writing, but my use case is not that far from OP’s, it also runs some old games.
It is light and portable, and it is just as easy to find a refurbished option as the Thinkpad (at least in NA).
My only problems are with the drivers(the Wi-FI and the FacetimeHD camera) and the charging cable.
I tried a bunch of distros, but only with EndeavourOS I got them to work easily.
That said, if OP prefers better Linux support, and better cost x performance. He will be better suited with a Thinkpad T or X (T480/T490 or X280) refurbished will be in the price range.
X280 is barely above 1Kg, with a smaller screen.
T480 is chunkier, bigger screen and Ethernet port.
M1 mac is still problematic with Linux, with only Asahi offering limited support, and you cannot find one at OP’s price point.
No, I don’t think I ever seem one for under 700 USD, despite some “news” saying you could find at 500 USD.
Every time people ask for cheap computers, there is always people sharing their preferences without any regard for OP’s listed needs.
I think anything with *-punk is some sort of Sci-fi with the best people could predict of the future at the time.
My go to for finding new books and authors is to check the Sci-fi awards nominees: Nebula, Hugo, Locus, … There are also two small book-stores nearby where workers put their reviews on the shelves of books they like and recommend.
Also, science fiction is not trademarked. =p
The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells https://marthawells.com/murderbot.htm
Easily my favourite contemporary author.
It is a Sci-fi, but fits the Cyberpunk high-tech low-life aspects you seek, like megacorporations dystopias, slave labour, surveillance state, robot conscience, augmented humans, etc…
I also read Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman recently. A recommendation from one of those book-stores.
Some alien corporation is going to mine Earth’s rare resources and the surviving humans participate in a dungeon crawl reality show. Kind of Running Man meets Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
It is LitRPG - which I am not a big fan but the writing of the first 2 books are good.
I am not a big fan of the last released couple of books of the series, as it feels more like extended power-trips that permeates the LitRPG genre.
Oh, I did not know that. Thanks for explaining it.
I thought MS Sam was an accessibility feature, that you can enable and disable text-to-speech. Did they use that for NPCs voice-overs?
I remember, when I was a kid, of a bunch of ads on TV raising awareness and medical professionals would visit schools to teach stuff. And you could get free condoms in events and medical facilities. Those campaigns were not only about STDs, also about a bunch of other health related stuff, from driving safely to using floss and recycling.
I don’t see those any more. I talk to people that never heard of those campaigns, and some are afraid to “look like a sailor” for carrying a condom.
I think the last campaign I remember in Canada was “Plenty of Syph”, a fake dating website where people’s profiles would show different stages of the disease.
