YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Looks great, I can’t wait!

Also, the man doesn’t know how to do effective allegories.

“Look, the robots all have to stand in the back of the bus and are treated badly! Really makes you think, hm?”

It’s a new statement in a new paragraph

What is a new statement in a new paragraph? You didn’t reference anything specific in your paragraph, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

Accept what? Move on from what? You’re making no sense.

No, he didn’t say “those”. He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general.

When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.

He mentioned that he has a bunch of Linux native games. The commercial ones run worse compared to running under Proton. This isn’t complicated. Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

No idea how you get to that from my statement that’s advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷

Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?

I think you misunderstood parts of The Good Place: >!It’s not people in The Bad Place pushing to improve the system, they try their hardest to prevent any improvements (except for Glenn, he’s the only demon that tries). Michael only became better because he learned ethics from a human perspective.!<

And that’s what The Good Place is fundamentally about: you can’t expect people to be good, if they don’t get the opportunity to become good people.

The guy said he bought games, and those don’t work as well natively. You can list games all you want, if he didn’t buy them it won’t change his experience.

So what? They should stop taking money for unmaintained games then.

Yeah, fuck those Linux users! Only sell those games to Windows users! That will help Linux market share :)

“May the odds be ever in your favor” works in almost any situation!

One thrusts every second, the next one every two, then four, …

They also removed all previous versions except a very old one with known issues, thus exposing people to more danger than necessary in any way.

Debian is amazing, but you’re right that they are far from noob-friendly. I recently switched to Fedora due to the fast availability of new packages (e.g. KDE Plasma 6.1 with fixed Nvidia drivers), and even the arguably easiest option - Ublue images - had some issues I wouldn’t have been able to fix without deep Linux experience.

But there definitely has been a lot of progress over the last couple of years, and I’m sure that will continue. We just have to be mindful of not participating in creating the next Microsoft. Ubuntu is already seen as the default Linux distribution - the further it gets entrenched, the worse for all of us.

But why move people from Microsoft to another company that is implementing more and more user-hostile “features”, when there are alternatives like Mint? If all the new Linux users are herded towards Canonical, it’s just giving them even more power to extract profits in the future.

It’s far easier to have them start with a community-led project on the same basis. Imagine Ubuntu being enshittified and forked - how should they decide which fork to use, and how can they know it will still exist in a couple of years?

So you’re saying we just have to add a “horse farm” minigame that has to be played every time the units are used?

Damn, I’m excited! It’s a beautiful and unique experience, definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

Oh no, one of them is always going to roll off the tongue better than the other :(

I’m pretty sure that the Ublue Surface images are using that modified kernel, at least I don’t know what other initramfs they are loading, or why they would offer specific Surface builds and not include the biggest project for that specific purpose.

No, it’s not just about stalkers, it’s about harassment in general. But even if it were, even stalkers are still people and don’t work fundamentally different.

Feel free to show any research proving me wrong, but unless you find any, the reasonable position is “humans work the same on this topic as on others”.

I know, but it still didn’t fully remove it.

Sure, but it doesn’t have to be fully removed to have an effect.

The thing is that there really is no price, nor was there ever one. Your suggestion that you think there is demonstrates that the way blocking worked gave people dangerously wrong ideas.

Sorry, but you don’t get to redefine how humans work. There is a price, because friction reduces the likelihood of people following through. Removing that friction increases the likelihood of people following through. You might not want to believe this to be the case, but please read studies on the topic - it’s just how humans work. You don’t get to dismiss negative effects because you don’t believe in them.

/etc/ is not immutable, you can change whatever you want there. Unless your software is going against Linux standards, you won’t run into any issues here.

Universal Blue has special builds for Surface devices with modified kernels.

Twitter massively reduced visibility for logged-out users, so just logging out doesn’t help, you have to log into a different account. This additional fraction reduces the amount of harassment a lot. Not sure that being “more honest” is worth the price, especially when an info box could achieve the same without making harassment easier.

If I understand correctly, the PSN overlay is the main issue for Linux players. This is already shitty. But they are explicitly excluding part of their potential customer base because they expect the payoff from forcing the accounts to be bigger than that loss. That should make you worry what your data will be used for, because simple upselling hasn’t worked for other attempts at forcing additional logins - why should it work for Sony?
