Cheaters are a solved problem, in my opinion. It used to be that people hosted servers- moderating and managing their own communities. The industry went away from that in pursuit of cosmetics and control. There aren’t cheaters on well managed community servers in Valve games, but cheaters run rampant in matchmaking in those same games.

First of all, thanks for pretending you know me. That’s cool.

Second, I’ve been buying on bandcamp up until Epic bought it. I have principles and one of those is that I don’t support Epic.

I kind of miss Unity in the same way I miss Windows XP; I would never use it now but it has a place in my heart.

Maybe I’ll start buying music again

I’ve been “on” linux for a decade and even ran it on my desktop without dualbooting for months at a time back in the Ubuntu 16 days. A few months ago I’d had enough of the Microsoftisms and installed straight Debian with i3wm on my desktop with intentions of dualbooting Windows for the rare graphical work I do. Maybe once a month. I managed to boot that thing 8 times, none without issues, before it finally stopped booting alltogether and I spent 14 hours yesterday trying to reinstall it to no success. It would commit suicide on second boot consistently and I said well dog darnit then. I guess I have to bite this bullet and learn how to do my graphical workflow on Linux.

Honestly, I should have done that sooner. I’m now Adobe and Windows free and I have literally no reason to go back. There’s nothing I need or miss. All my games work (thanks valve) and all my creative tools are here in some capacity. There aren’t many bugs I encounter daily in i3wm, and none are showstoppers.

Shoutout to Blender for being superior to industry standards, and Darktable for being good enough.

Or they see the writing on the wall

I’ve been waiting since the initial announcement. It’s gonna be so good!

I can’t afford a lawyer so I have no wishy washy ideals of taking a corporation to court for stealing my work ☺️

Not exactly. It was far more in the past.

My GPU is very descreet! I store my diary on his VRAM and he never blabbers to anyone.

It’s not even about performance; I just don’t play anything that can justify a discreet GPU and I’m imagining the idle power draw is gonna be significantly better on a CPU with an integrated GPU than a CPU+GPU.

Personally I’m getting rid of my GTX 1080 in favor of an AMD iGPU next time I upgrade, so it would seem to me that it’s the right path.

That’s not what this law is about, but yes actually they do!

I’m not even in the UK and my domains get hit by UK authorities that claim to be scanning for vulnerabilities

I’m not a programmer but I work with IT and I regularly need complex shell scripts. ChatGPT has enabled me to skip the largest portion of slamming my head against the wall by writing the script for me and then I can tune it if it gets something wrong. Saves me hours and hours of my life.

You know Librewolf?

Just do that

Long Term Support… beta?

e: dis a joke yall autistic

It is not open source, so effectively no. It uses bridges which are open source and you can host them yourself and completely sidestep Beepers closed-source client.

That’s the source code for the Discord bridge, I’m talking about Beeper

I’ve already had Discord accounts snupped out from under me for not giving them my phone number, I don’t wanna give them a real reason to ban me 😅
