It had such a GLaDOS vibe, so i thought it was a reference to that. I guess life really does imitate art.

Wait, does this mean the Replit case was actually real!? I was sure it was just a skit or rage bait. I didnt think anybody could be that stupid…

I’m starting to notice that a lot of people don’t even notice what are ads or not. When i installed pihole and enabled it for all devices at home. My gf was complaining why suddenly a loy of pages wouldn’t work anymore. Yeah, so she always clicked the ad/sponsored link everywhere and didn’t have the slightest clue. And let’s not start about social media and how basically 75% of it is (hidden) ads.

Personally I’m of the mentality if some company force feeds me their ads while i was not actively searching out their product type, I’ll think 3 times before ever considering their products. Thankfully, i see basically no ads (online) anymore these days.

Is there really a plan to use this for 911 services??

What stone did you live under? The huge power consumption of crypto was often debated. You just don’t hear too much about it because people don’t really talk about crypto much anymore. Now it’s mostly just people pro crypto who discuss it. And obviously they tend to talk leas about the downsides.

Just get lutris and I expect it works just fine. Worked fine for overwatch, so i expect WoW too.

But you’re right, launchers are usually the biggest issue when its comes to compatibility. Especially that completely useless piece of shit Rockstar peddles.

I rather run everything in third party apps than deal with Windows again,. But each his own of course.

Proton is so good that often games run better with Proton than native too. Usually because the developer puts little effort in the linux native version. Proton is such a godsend.

So besides Trump and Musk being passionate fuck buddies, how is this legal? Surely this is fraud and deceit right?

The ease of reinstalling is not the main selling point. That’s just one of the (imho many) benefits of having a declarative reproducible configuration.

Many people balk at the nix language, which i think isn’t that hard to learn, But having to learn just one language/syntax instead of knowing each different application’s config syntax is a huge plus for me. Plus you basically get a preprocessor for all configs, which certainly is nice.

Now if you’re not a software developer i can see why that would still be a roadblock. But honestly for a pretty straight forward setup, most of it you can just find on the wiki or other places.
