Aesthetics are part of the game. Vibe is a big part.

I come from a time where we all lost our shit over horse armor being sold. Your comment just reminds me they have normalized things. They won.

Has anyone tried with controller? Is it decent? This game has been on my radar for a while, but I’m hesitant because I want to play with controller, and it looks like a lot of menu.

The guy who made the Backblaze software said it was already done and was easy for their standard client to work with Linux but never got rolled out because Linux users are power users. I wonder if that is the real reason when it comes to Proton. It’s not unlimited but maybe there is some power user use that they anticipate and don’t want to deal with.

I hope your right. My experience in life has been people will constantly loosen what they find acceptable and it does not stay contained but spreads. 😟

I either use Firefox or LibreWolf. I was just conversing.

The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

Isn’t that most of the web?

I enjoyed the article. I don’t think it’s coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren’t savvy tend to not use extensions. That’s just my experience though.

I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.

I really like the art style and animations. I like the soft-touched looks to things and the unique characters.

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

I recently encountered a song I could only stream but not buy anywhere without DRM. Kinda wild because it has over 5 million YouTube views.

If anyone knows how the buy Slow Song by The Knocks, lmk.

The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn’t a company that is going under, so it shouldn’t be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I’m pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don’t expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it’s important to know what information a company retains.

For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I’m not interesting enough to overthrow anything.

All of my local gyms in my last 3 areas have been super pricy. Like $75-$150 a month. It may not seem high, but when you can get a franchise membership for $10-$30, it’s a hard sale.

I have had luck with specialty stuff though. Yoga is common to have discounts and decent pricing if that’s anyone’s jam.

Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.

I think it’s a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren’t in the ethical or learned position to be effective.

What I’m saying is, the boat has holes and I’m concerned.

I’m using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I’m cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it’s not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.

It’s tough. Most gamers use it. I only recently was told about alternate clients but I don’t know which yet.

I was happy with Mumble and forums, but I completely get why it feels outdated to others.

If they are working on 5 sequels, two are Homeworld and Borderlands, that means there is a non-zero chance for Duke Nukem.
