Back on Reddit, there were even complaints that EA’s anticheat was conflicting with Riot’s anticheat. Yep, now you potentially need two different installations of Windows to run each of your games. At this point, you would need to buy several SSDs and a SSD extension (or an external USB reader, since USB speeds nowadays are relatively fast enough to afford running those games from an external drive), then install each game (and operative system) in a different one, and swap between them before booting, just like a cartridge. Same would go, of course, for your actual main GNU/Linux drive that contains your actual personal data - that way, the anticheat can’t even see your personal information, as it’d physically unplugged from your computer. And since Windows checks the license per motherboard, not per drive, you should be able to recycle the activation key between your Valorant “cartridge” and your Battlefield “cartridge”. At this point, paying for a dedicated game console and the online pass starts becoming attractive…

…That, or just boycott multiplayer games altogether. If your group of friends doesn’t mind, of course.

I’d say you should check if any scheduled cleaning tasks are accidentally deleting your files.

That must have taken some diplomacy, but it would have been even more impressive to have convinced Stallman to come too

Looks like a certain officer doesn’t know about “sexual healing” huh?

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that’s a galaxy brain move

My municipality does something similar but with the procedure being backwards - giving tax breaks to owners of one single property, that are, of course, unavailable to owners of multiple houses

You mean “boycott all privative culture and start learning how to not depend on entertainment to have a fulfilling life” right?

We should be boycotting all art and entertainment from Big Media in its entirety, but nobody is willing to do so

Any plans to start saving up to move elsewhere, by the way?

It might be my inner prescriptivist at work, but while I understand the need for a singular they, I absolutely loathe it’s accompanied with a singular are. If the language is being reformed, why not take a page out of AAVE and start using “they’s” and “you’s”?

Since engaging in society means indirectly endorsing all of its evils, and even interacting with questionable people is functionally equivalent to platforming them, the only ethical thing to do is to become a self-sufficient hermit. Problem is, there aren’t enough terrains on this planet to allot one fully decked farm for each inhabitant…

Ah yes, Lieutenant William Guile, or as I like to call him, “Bill Guile the Sonic Guy”

Homarr is more or less turnkey, as long as you use Docker to deploy your services.

Ah, been like that for roughly the last six months. Too busy to take free time, too burned out to use the free time when it comes.

To be fair, he’s got a day job as an IT architect in an university, so I think he’s set in regards to finances. Codevelopers on the other hand, those would come handy - especially for knowledge transfer

My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4

Considering that I don’t have a car, I’ve been boycotting most media and many brands for years, and I have no friends because nobody shares the same ethics as I do? Yeah every purchase is and should be a moral dilemma. (The proper solution is to drop society and go raise my own crops in the middle of the mountains, someday I’ll save up to do just that)

No joke, it’s pretty much impossible to find a car by a manufacturer that didn’t benefit from human rights abuses one way or another. Most European cars are from companies founded (or funded) by Nazi Germany or its axis friends. Same goes for Japanese cars. In the US, either the founder is a seething racist (like Ford and Tesla) or the company has been collaborating too much with the army (like Jeep). And don’t get me started with China.
