Excellent explanation. Thank you
Mereo is a sociologist who is also a nerd. He believes in open-source software.

Excellent explanation. Thank you
Haha. we’re officially old. I was an extremely competitive gamer back then. I played Quake 3, UT 99, Tribes 2, America’s Army, etc. I was even in a Tribes 2 squad and we basically practiced for tournaments every day.
But now that life is stressful enough with the responsibilities I have, I just can’t play competitive games anymore. I just want to enjoy the story. I no longer have the stamina and the reflex for competitive games anymore.
I use Proton Experimental to play my games and they all work without exception. I’m in my late 30s, so I no longer play competitive games that have a kernel rootkit, I mean kernel anti-cheat.
Basically, Linux gaming is like this: If you want to play competitive games with anti-cheat, stay or play in Windows. For all other games, play in Linux.
That’s where Windows belongs now, in a VM.
What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.
This is fuged up.
Yup. It is an official proof that the package wasn’t delivered.
To me, instances are like countries. c/Politics@lemmy.ml is not the same as c/Politics@lemmy.world because lemmy.ml culture and policies are different from lemmy.world. In this case, go to c/Politics@lemmy.world.
If anything that just makes you more suspicious.
Nah. I work from home, I need to use my work’s VPN to access resources that are only available to those on the network. VPN use is now generalized.
Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.
Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.
Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.

I guess it’s a good investment to have peace of mind! /s
It is not. It is a demo. The company demonstrates the game to you. You’re free to play it as long as you want so that you can make an informed decision afterwards.
And this is where pirating comes into play. For example, I bought Fifa 23 but because of the bundled anti-cheat giving me a lot of problems, I downloaded the cracked version.
Run them in Bottle, then disable internet access for the games.
No, flathub has the latest version (0.95), as you can see on the project’s Github page (0.95): https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases
I had numerous problems with Wayland when I had an NVIDIA video card. Since I switched to an AMD video card, it has been a blissful experience. Wayland now works perfectly.
The EU really is a force to be reckoned with. Long live the EU.
A little explanation, there are two different types of drivers:
Kernel Drivers: The low-level software that directly controls your Video card, managing essential functions like memory and power.
User-space Drivers: The higher-level software that translates graphics commands from applications and games into instructions your video card can understand.
Here NVIDIA wants to kill the proprietary kernel driver and have the open source kernel included in the kernel by default. This means that the distros or you simply need to download the user-space binary blob driver without having to recompile the kernel driver every time the Nvidia drivers are updated.
