How to run something you don’t trust without performance lost?
A virtual machine is generally your best choice. You build a little box around it and tell it to have fun inside that box.
It doesn’t work well for games (you can do it with games, but it’s generally not worth it), but for smaller programs, it is a very reliable choice with minimal performance impact.
Things with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.
Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don’t think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.
I’m still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.
steam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin
What steam game requires admin permissions? I’m not aware of any games that require admin permissions.
There is certainly room for more direct assistance to Ukraine. Easy examples include establishing air supremacy over the country and performing airstrikes on invaders inside Ukraine.
Men had privileged position in the society for millennia.
Other people had this privileged position in society for millennia. The people turning away from progressive politics aren’t wearing top hats, their hands are oil-covered. When you tell them they are privileged, that everything is just handed to them by society, they look around and wonder what you are talking about.
If 98% of Lemmy wants to kill all men, that’s a pretty shit state of affairs.
Yeah, that was a very, very odd choice.
You have Eve Online, a PC exclusive MMO. And you try to sell the playerbase on a PS3 game? Most of them literally don’t have the proprietary hardware to run that game but 100% of them have a gaming PC sitting right in front of them…
This isn’t to say don’t include the PS3, but why the hell wasn’t it on PC where the entire Eve playerbase is?
“Reserve Cloud PCs” will be preloaded with Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s preferred security policies and other Windows customizations.
You need a working PC to access this ‘reserve’ PC. Why not just install Office on your own PC and ignore this extra cloud thing?
CCP and their affiliates have been incurring sizeable losses instead. They released a mobile game, EVE Echoes, via NetEase shortly after the acquisition, but this has apparently fallen short of expectations, and CCP are now focusing rather heavily on “web3” games fuelled by blockchain bullshit. They are also still trying to make an EVE Online FPS, despite screwing this up three times in a row.
CCP had a one-hit-wonder and never again figured out how to make a game.
Drop policies that have been consistent long-term losers like expanded gun control.
Suppressors are a hearing safety device/noise pollution reducer and Democrat politicians describe them like they get all their information from a John Wick movie. It would be so easy for the party to drop the matter entirely and throw politically-homeless gun owners a bone by taking suppressors off the NFA.
Force through policies that improve their lives at the cost of others, for example, healthcare paid for by taxing billionaires
Yep! Follow that up with policies that improve people’s lives and we have a ticket that writes itself.
Start by no longer telling men who have done nothing wrong they are responsible for the misdeeds of others. It breeds resentment and closes people to anything else you have to say.
I’m confused, OBS works well. What is missing you are desiring?
This is a good change. One of my friends had some confusion over the install button not appearing for some small games, he had to go toggle this on. It being available by default for all games is great!
I wouldn’t worry about it too hard, there isn’t anything fundamentally wrong with Ubuntu. Both it and mint are in the same family after all.
Sounds like you should just keep Ubuntu and get the non-snap versions of the apps that need codecs.
O, yeah. Snaps basically live in their own little system. Anything you do to your wider system, like installing codecs, will not affect a snap. Easiest solution is to remove the snap VLC and install normal VLC. Same for Firefox and MPC.
I have heard nothing good about snaps and Canonical pushing them is a big reason you don’t see people recommending Ubuntu, and instead recommending things like Mint (me included).
Yeah, I’m not sure why anybody is mentioning Windows IoT. When you lookup where to buy this, Microsoft themselves tell you to call or email a salesman; it’s an enterprise-only thing. Recommending this for individuals is misguided.
Full guide here for Linux Mint. But the easy version is:
Boot to that USB drive
Press next a bunch in the Mint installer
If you have two computers, highly recommend dipping your toes in with Linux on the secondary one. That way any stress related to the unknown is much reduced.
I’m also confused by the title, as even the article says ‘fuck’ has been said by presidents before crowds.
