Valve releasing a competitive game doesn’t prevent you from doing this. I for one am excited by the potential of this game. Then again, I’ve been playing Dota for 10 years so maybe I’m just a masochist.

That’s because that’s exactly what they are.

I bought the game on release week. I don’t play often but when I do it’s with friends. After hearing about this incident my plan was to wait a few days or a week to see how it resolves before deciding if I want to refund the game. However, enough of my friends have already refunded the game that, if they don’t come back, I likely won’t be playing much if at all anyway so I’ll probably refund the game this week as well, especially if nothing changes.

No, no, the real problem is video games… and Dungeons & Dragons… and the mall of course… and comic books… and…

Pointless, no. Many (but yes, not all) extensions are still available to use in VSCodium.

ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).

Mullvad got rid of their port forwarding.

So did IVPN. Use Proton VPN now.

Sunshine/Moonlight should perform better than Gamestream at the default settings.Try turning down your bitrate. 4K will work fine at 100Mbps.

“all your vscode extensions still work fine” is definitely not true. Sure a vast majority of them probably do, but certainly not all of them.

I still prefer it over full VS Code though.

The internet IS decentralized.

I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.

Think of the up vote button more as a “this information is worth spreading” button than “I like or agree with this content”.

Huh, not a feature I ever thought about but could be nice.

I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

I clicked through to the article but don’t see a video (or a link to any video). Am I blind?

I’m not your friend, guy!

What show is this?

There was an episode of Vagrant Queen (mostly unheard of ScyFy show) where they parodied Clue as well. It was fantastic!

If we always assumed the worst no one would buy/accomplish anything. This is not a realistic way to live. The best we can expect to do is making the best decision with the information we have at hand at the time. Of course a healthy dose of scepticism isn’t a bad thing either as long as it doesn’t get in the way of living a relatively normal life.

Laughs in Arch Linux.

Thank you. This needs to be further up in the comments
