This is actually a very good and nuanced reply.

We’re going through similar problems in Britain. There are a lot of people from deprived communities that suffered during the seventies (Winter of Discontent, high inflation), had their manufacturing/mining jobs and access to social housing dismantled under Margaret Thatcher during the eighties, were ignored by successive leaders (John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown), then suffered through austerity at the hands of David Cameron.

Meanwhile, the media had been pushing tonnes of hatred towards immigrants and to nobody’s surprise, hate crimes against Muslims and Eastern Europeans have skyrocketed. Things are so bad that we voted to leave the European Union in 2016, voted in a corrupt Tory government that pulled us out of the bloc in 2020, and given the trend of our most recent election, it’s becoming increasingly likely that we are going to vote in a far-right government by 2029 or earlier.

I used to work for a small PPI claims management company. Our accounts team had a WhatsApp group for social discussion outside of work.

All of our internal work comms were handled through Slack.

I mean… aren’t GNOME and KDE the two main GUI’s that you use?

Games have largely caught up. Fifteen years ago, you couldn’t run anything other than shitty FOSS games or the occasional Platinum AppDB rated game like World of Warcraft on Linux, and even for the latter the install instructions were convoluted. With WoW, you had to manually copy the files from each CD, save them locally and then run the installer because otherwise the installer would shit the bed and fail halfway through Discs 2 or 3.

The final hurdle for gaming on Linux is anti-cheat and that’s going to be a mountain to overcome. Only two solutions (to my knowledge) currently have native Linux support and those are Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) and Valve Anti Cheat (VAC.) You’re not gonna get anything requiring Ring 0 access (like Vanguard) running on Linux anytime soon.

John McAfee would be spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave. Or at least he would be if McAfee Software hadn’t already turned to shit long before his death.

So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.

Don’t underestimate the stupidity of your average person.

• Date that the breach occurred.
• What parts of the system were accessed.
• What data was compromised and if any of it is sensitive.
• If any of this data was encrypted/hashed and what algorithm was used (i.e. I’d be far less worried about having passwords that are bcrypt hashed exposed compared to ones hashed with SHA1 or stored in plain text.)

Because stroking the bratwurst can be addictive and lead to destructive behaviours.

Suyu 😂😂😂😂

It’s like they’re begging Nintendo to sic private investigators and a whole centurion of highly paid lawyers on them.

In terms of the more populous instances, I think Lemmy reminds me of old Reddit before the site went mainstream, minus the jailbait, incest-posting, rampant racism and other degenerate shit that Reddit used to be known for.

As an Englishman, I counted 8 of these.

Would be funny as fuck if they were using these devices as Bitcoin miners.

Image comes from the monstrous work the Asahi Linux team did to get Netflix working on Linux on ARM Macbooks: https://asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/

There’s your problem. Using Linux is like using a dishwasher instead of a rice cooker to cook rice.

Every handheld outside of the Steam Deck, like the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw all use Windows, which can make the experience crippling for non-technically minded users.

Clearly this games journalist has never used Linux because despite the monumental efforts Valve have made to make thousands of games run on SteamOS and improve the UX through Proton, it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

Speaking as a Steam Deck owner, SteamOS works a lot of the time and that’s perfectly acceptable. But there has been the occasional ‘Steam Deck Verified’ game like Cthulhu Saves The World which soft locks on a black screen after battles.

Also, Linux is ideal for the kind of people that buy budget handheld devices like these. They are phenomenal emulation devices.

I rarely delve in the world of private servers. Last one I played on was Nostalrius (World of Warcraft) and that was purely because WoW had gone through a slew of shitty expansions leaving the game fundamentally changed for the worse with no way to experience the original game version.

Of course after Blizzard C&D’d the project I’m glad I didn’t sink loads of time into the server.

I have thought about giving Dragon Ball Online Global, Pristontale EU or Return of Reckoning a try, either because the MMO’s shut down or because the official offering is pay-to-win dogshit. But I worry their publishers are gonna come after the projects hard. Games Workshop and Toei/Shueisha are known to be VERY litigious.

Have they actually officially given their blessing to Project 1999 and people pirating old copies?

Last I checked, the P99 team’s official stance was still ‘we can’t help you acquire an old copy’

Better than Reddit. The community is a lot more welcoming, much more friendly and lacks the open hostility of Reddit. Frankly I hope Lemmy doesn’t become mainstream, as much as I want Spez’s empire to fall.

Windows 12 may end up being my transition to Linux, especially if they go for a subscription model. If you told me just a decade ago that Linux was a viable OS for gaming, I would have laughed at you.

Valve have outdone themselves with Proton. So have those who worked on DXVK and VKD3D.

So if I understand it, a bug has been identified that’s potentially going to make diabetics OD on insulin and die.

That’s fucked.

Well they can just GitOut
