Overall gaming share is 4%? I think you mean linux useragents account for about 4% of website traffic at measured points- which is not indicative of anything because my crawler also pretends to be things it isn’t.

I understand your point but I reiterate that I don’t connect to unsafe networks. If someone has remote code execution on a device on my side of the network then they are also inside my apartment and I’d be more worried about that.

you are brave to use your laptop that way

why? I don’t connect it to untrusted networks

You shouldn’t be touching it, honestly. There’s a firewall at your router. It should be responsible for blocking incoming traffic. Firewalls on individual machines are for servers where you know exactly what’s going in and out. I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop.

You will spend the best years of your life chasing random network connections if you block everything by default.

Oh damn true I forgot about adding a repo

install debian

apt install flatpak

flatpak install theThingYouWantTheLatestOf

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.

If the torrenting is moved entirely within Tor, and pirates hosted Relays alongside their seedboxes, then we would have the bandwidth to sustain it and not be constrained by the exit relays.

feralhosting.com gives you a full unix user in your own little jail if that’s your thing. They are for seedboxes, but you can do anything you want with your 1 vcore and unmetered 10gbps.

I think last.fm is generally pretty good at recommending me stuff.

It could also be that they simply don’t want to deal with this themselves anymore, but don’t want to sunset it. Giving it to WINE lets it stay alive and they get to collect good-boy credits from people who still have faith in MS.

e does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.

Wube has encouraged people to pirate their game over buying key-resellers like G2A. G2A was such a legal pain in their ass for a period that they would rather you just pirate the game (being Factorio).

Do you have more information about this? I would love to read more.

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.

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 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.
