More distros need to follow. No FOSS should have any relationship to Microsoft or their products.

And at lower quality with more errors of higher severity. Yay.

Stoat has been recommended a lot, and it appears to be open source.

RIP Remedy 😭

Which includes many of the wargaming, traditional art, and queer Discord servers my partner and I use. Never assume that when a bad actor says “adult content” they mean hardcore porn and snuff, they mean everything that doesn’t conform to their ideal christofascist ethnostate purity. And now they have a list of all the “dangerous” nonconformists while blocking everyone else from being exposed to “dangerous” ideas. This should chill people to the bone. Nobody should be okay with this anywhere, in any capacity, in any quantity, whatsoever.

The article is paywalled. Does anyone have an archive link?

Jetbrains has free non-commercial licenses for open source projects. If not that, I’ll use Kate.

I won’t touch anything associated with Microslop. Not Windows, not Github, not Office, and not VS Code.

I hate that when this bombs it will be the studios fault and not the Sony overlord that demanded a live service corruption of Horizon in the style of Fortnite.

This looks awful.

Always start with Bazzite for gaming. If you decide you want more control, switch to Fedora KDE. When you want to explore whats out there, put everything that interests you on a Ventoy thumbdrive. I don’t recommend Mint for new users primarily because it doesn’t officially support KDE Plasma.

Team Jetbrains!

$70 for a game is mad. Even if it was critically acclaimed and award winning who can afford that when most people struggle to live? Even $50 is a lot of money. Big game developers have lost the plot.

It still includes Denuvo malware, and so is the first Civilization I haven’t touched.

Terra Invicta is amazing. It’s as if Paradox made an X-Com grand strategy game. The developers were clearly passionate about their game.

Windows is still constantly tracking you and stealing your data. If you trust MS at this point, that mistake is on you.

I still play Daggerfall at least once a year. It was all downhill after Daggerfall.

When people learn to not buy anything whatsoever Nintendo, I will have a little more hope for humanity.

I find PVP games inherently toxic and have better things to do with my life.

Action-packed PVP FPS

Yuck. Pass.

They’re all about murder now. So Italy has that to look forward to.
