We don’t keep Epic in an online repo just because Chromium is a massive codebase and Epic is not a fork but a modified version of Chromium so we don’t have a consistent codebase rather it changes with each new version of Chromium. Chromium which Epic is built on is open source software which anyone can immediately download and audit.

That is from the Epic FAQ page and doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy. They basically are hacking stuff onto Chromium and saying “just let us know what you want to see”, and “BTW Chromium is auditable but since we are making who knows what kind of hacks to its codebase it’s kinda a moot point”.

Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he’s shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it’s been a “radical Left” issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way is just full panic.

They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the “evidence” they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

I think his administration has a 2 prong approach to their attack on weather science:

1. It’s an attack on all science that they look to replace with “thoughts and prayers”
2. If you suppress the science showing how you’re making everyone less safe and putting millions of lives at risk, that’s good “damage control”. Then you double down on “owning the libs” at the same time making crazy corrupt deals with the fossil fuel industry.

I hadn’t given this any thought previously, but reading your post now that I have kids playing through my library, and that I’m constantly adding games, this would be helpful.

So for self hosted I found this: Slaanesh

And for a letterboxd feel for games I found this: Backlogged

You just need megamaid!

Have you tried any of the suggested working proton flags on protondb?

Hogwarts Legacy

Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn’t install TLP did you?

Well those white South Africans needed that asylum because of the white genocide going on in Africa. /s

Also Trump has to do something to distract his base from the fact he just had his DOJ do a huge Epstein coverup after promising to bring the pedo cabal to justice for years.

Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won’t be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don’t want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I’m a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.

It is a bit of weighing the convenience of Steam dealing with your catalog of games, making them all just a download away, and keeping them outside of Steam and needing to come up with your own currarion method. And if you are buying (licensing it - because apparently nobody actually owns their games) the game outside one of these storefronts, you still have DRM to deal with most likely anyway.

Just have to weigh the pros vs cons.

If a group of people are influenced by whatever, and suddenly write a bunch of negative reviews I would consider that a review bomb if they played 0 hours, or 10k hours. Adding the weird stipulation that it needs to be people that never played it is not a requirement I’ve ever heard. Now is it more likely that the trolls will be people who haven’t played, absolutely, because the low cost (nothing) of doing so while the people that play games are actually gaming.

Review bombing is a coordinated online campaign where a large group of people post a deluge of negative reviews for a product, service, or business, often with the intent to harm its reputation or sales. This tactic is usually employed as a form of protest, coercion, or even just trolling, and is often seen in response to perceived issues with the product or its creators.

• Googles stupid AI

Are you trying to kill the beautiful birds and drive the whales crazy?! /s

Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

As the only platform that cares about gamers I would say it’s your only choice under Windows also. Unless you pay for boxed versions and then rip/crack them so your not messing with physical media constantly, but then disk space becomes and issue fast.

More or less, but classic case of correlation ≠ causation.

The thing about this meme is those people are either review bombing because “reasons”, or they are all masochists, either way I would disregard them as spam and look for better reviews.

“It obviously needs some tuning, but this is the radical left blowing a small thing out of proportion.”

• Twitter/Musk at some point (probably)

Do remember this is the guy who did 2 full Nazi salutes at an event for his presidential candidate, and America voted Trump in anyway, they give zero fucks about “blatant”. And training his AI on Nazi material is going to make his bot pro-Nazi, not rocket-surgery.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

• Hanlon’s razor

Before and after. Like you said, the occurrence of one unfortunately doesn’t stop humans from carrying out another elsewhere.

Those people need to get jobs making money for someone else, think of the shareholders! These freeloaders are growing the deficit by not working enough to cover the tax breaks for the 1%! /s
