What kind of game is it? Is it like Minecraft/roblox as the screenshot suggests?

Many people love AI, I have a lot of acquaintances who actively seek out the best “AI browser” whatever that means. It makes sense for mozilla not to fall out this bandwagon just yet.

Yeah, she was a victim of state and family-sanctionned pedophilia, and she was trying to protect her son. In a sane country she would have been acquitted or given a slap on the wrist.

Most geeks were running 2000. Windows was easy to pirate at the time, you just needed a valid key, no online checks or anything.

Proton is WINE, it’s a fork maintained by Valve and Codeweaver with DXVK (Direct X -> Vulkan) on top. If you use Steam for gaming it will set up proton automatically for you.

And yes macOS is a step up from Windows, but it’s still a walled garden. Want to develop an iOS app? You must buy a Mac, you must buy a developer license, you must use the worst IDE ever created, and you must distribute it through the app store (except in Europe in theory, but they worked hard to make the experience so miserable that almost no one bothers).

From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.

But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?

Forbidding women from participating in a “fun” event doesn’t seem very benevolent to me.

It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.

Try it, you might be surprised. I played WoW under Linux like 15 years ago, and for a couple of patches WoW ran much better under Linux than Windows because of a bug in the GPU driver or something. The Wine folks handle buggy Windows software all the time, and might fix bugs that MS won’t bother with.

Yeah, the issue is not “Microsoft’s usage of the XML format”. The issue is that they blatantly bought their format’s standardization, and then intentionally released an implementation that substantially deviated from the specs, making sure that MSO was the only “compatible” implementation.

Yes, but everything above it (including drivers) is custom-made and tightly controlled by Google.

Yeah, if they’re not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

Yeah but if the script which initiates the connection to the local server is blocked there’s no connection to intercept in the first place.

Nah, the script connects to a server run by the Instagram or Facebook app and feeds it info, bypassing isolation mechanisms entirely. I think ublock or other script-blocking add-ons might work though.

They’re at the “right to do whatever the fuck we want” stage.

Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn’t give any fuck about kids.

I agree, but as a mobile dev I wish they’d leave the OS alone instead of “optimizing” it, creating new exceptions to the rule and edge cases in the process…

Yeah, with Arch the install and initial setup is the hard part, but they do that for you so I don’t get the point of going with Manjaro.

That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.

Why bother switching then?
