I’m not positive but I think it may have been TV news, but it does make sense and explains the confusion if true

Last I heard it was a customer who let the employees know and an employee who made the call, so if that’s true, both, kind of

I’ll bet they’ll almost all boycott that McDonald’s location, I’ll bet that location doesn’t see a single one of those Europeans after this

Even without serial number, a ghost gun will leave rifling marks on the bullets which can be compared by firing the gun into ballistic gel

I almost explained that, then read your username…

They could also go after him with Thompson’s family in civil suit to destroy him financially, which it turns out is not double jeopardy

Not like we needed help calling them that, and his calling them “parasites” earlier seems at least slightly less generic and more cutting

Holy hell, that’s actually a really good apology, and any company who would be willing to post it, even if written by LLM, would immediately gain at least some respect points from me

A computer programmer with a common cyber security countermeasure you can buy on Amazon indicates criminal sophistication?

Sure Jan.

It’s was sooo good! Really slow and deliberate and tense and at no point did it feel like it was dragging.

ACKTUALLY…

But yes, it does bother the pedant in me to see everyone calling it “Imperial system” when it technically isn’t

What is this “Lemmy” you speak of? Never heard of it…

That sounds pretty bad, but 1) the article is 3 and a half years old (not that big of a deal really, but an update on the current status would be useful at this point), and 2) I see plenty of commits to all five of their pubic facing repos.

I’m not saying they’re wrong…I’m not going to presume to understand it better than them… But I’m not seeing how that translates to them hiding things from public view, or if they were that they’re still doing so. If you’re aware of something I’m missing there, I’m very much interested in hearing about it.

But yes, trust should not be implicit, it should be verified.

Right after the recent news about another healthcare CEO, this seems like a great way to get your own headline

Well, of the three I mentioned, 2 are free to play, and the other they did issue refunds for Linux players… Which ones were you thinking of?

If and when they do something shitty, I’ll be right there with you calling them out for it, but I don’t see anything here that fits that description

What they said, exactly:

If that happens on Steam, I can reasonably expect a refund if it was previously Verified, and because of the verification system, they also have an incentive not to break compatibility.

Emphasis mine.

They didn’t say it won’t happen. They said they have far more confidence that it’ll be much less likely to happen. And that they have a reasonable expectation of refund if the developer pulls that.

There are no guarantees here, but Valve has put a lot of time and effort into making Linux games work, and Epic has not. No, they can’t stop developers from pulling those stunts, but they’re no more happy about it than we are and, from everything I’ve been seeing, are actively working on getting developers to stop doing that.

Also, the anticheat excuse is mostly a lie, the ones Destiny 2, Rust, and Apex Legends use are compatible with Linux, and just require, as I understand it, checking a box and including a file in a specific spot, so those are just outright anti Linux for the sake of hating Linux and Linux gamers.

Wow, he’s right… For all the wrong reasons, but he’s right for a change

3, just like teaspoons and tablespoons

I’m no longer tipping just because the stupid kiosk asks me to and making me feel guilty… If it’s not a normally tipped position such as server, bartender, or barista, I’m going to default to tapping no. It’s gotten ridiculous.
