I’ve definitely done this, but I hate the way this is phrased. This makes it sound like the left are a big club with rules: “Thou shalt first acknowledge how shit the world is, or else.” What BS. It disallows for the possibility that this is actually how people are feeling. They must be doing it because of social pressure. I don’t think anyone on either side of the political divide would admonish you if you just posted about your engagement, but (for myself at least) it’s legitimately how I feel about things right now. 100%, A-grade, home grown despair, baby! I ackowledge it because it’s really how I feel, not because my friends would chastise me if I didn’t.

I find it really hard to feel sorry for these people. On one hand, it’s awful what’s happening to them, but on the other

“This is not what we voted for”

Yes, the fuck, it is!

Hold on, what? Illegal white house in Alaska?

Sounds like you understand perfectly, you’re just still thinking of them as rational adults. If you think of them both as toddlers, everything makes a lot more sense. Trump pinched Musk, so Musk is having a fat sad. Simple as that.

omfg, I wasn’t looking for suggestions! I said I would play Oblivion, I played Oblivion. I had a fucking great night. Had pizza for dinner, got a little drunk, finished the shivering isles main quest… 10/10 friday evening, thanks. jfc

Sure, I’ve got no issue with teenagers, but the question had two answers that I felt were both incorrect. I don’t know how you solve that, because I don’t think giving the jury the ability to add option c is a good idea, but neither do I want to give bad advice just to move to the next question

Needs a way to skip a question. I got hit with some teenage drama, and honestly, neither option provided is correct

The fuck are you talking about? It’s not about price, I’m on Linux. Did you read the article? I’m going to play Oblivion because I WANT to play Oblivion.

Why use big words when a diminutive one will do?

I get paid today and was gonna pick this up tonight… Guess it’s back to Oblivion then!

bake him away, toys!

It’ll be really dumb if this works, but try explicitly turning cellular data off. I’m wondering if the connection bridging could be causing issues

eta: oh, and disable wireguard when you’re on the local network in case you’re not already

Lol, that was maybe a bad example then. I was just looking for a technical term that the general public wouldn’t need to care about, but that all sounds like reasonably important information

That’s like saying he shouldn’t be expected to give advice on Seroconversion kinetics*. You’re right, but it’s also not really the point.

He, like your manager, is responsible for taking the knowledge of the “engineers” and turning that into practical advice and/or legislation for the public.

Which he is not doing… Which has resulted in a body count… Which should at the very least cost him his job…

But if anyone thinks that’s going to happen, they’ve not been paying attention.

*(I don’t know what that is btw, that comes from wikipedia. It’s some technical thing to do with vaccines)

Seconded. I’ve got one and I’m pretty happy with it

I eventually bought a kfocus laptop, but the shipping on both was horrendous. I think kfocus worked out ever so slightly cheaper for the laptop itself though.

Just to be clear, I’m not arguing against 3rd party ac entirely, JUST the heavy handed kernel access ac solutions. I believe that if the less insane options were the only ones, the overhead on developers would be present, certainly, but not insurmountable, even for small indie studios.

To slightly exaggerate my earlier example: If you give the gardener access to your security cameras, there’s no reason for them to walk around the back and check if the sprinklers are on. It might be easier, but that does NOT mean your gardener needs access to the security cameras.

The way things are now, developers lean on that insane system as a crutch, and build their games without any regard for client integrity whatsoever. Because why should they? THAT is the laziness I’m complaining about.

there probably should be a middle ground where the layer of security that is now being offloaded to a third party service having kernel-level access should instead be handled by the OS

I don’t believe kernel access should be required at all. 3rd party, OS, whatever! It’s NOT necessary.

Having said that, If you’re arguing for a system service that can verify client integrity and pass that back to user space, sure, I could live with that. In that case though:

you’re at best going to get from Microsoft. Linux being what it is that isn’t an option

I grant you that Microsoft at least acknowledge the problem, but they are dragging their feet on a solution, and they’ve said they’re not going to enforce it, once it becomes an option.

Linux being what is is, and Valve investing what they have, I’d be surprised if something like this wasn’t already in the works
