Makes sense. Would packaging like Flatpak or AppImage be an option? Or just make sure it runs with Wine? Probably all not that straightforward.

Same here.

Game performance on Linux isn’t always the best. So I’ll keep a Win10 around.

Are Linux ports of games so hard to do? Genuine question. I am not a games dev.

Are “brother” the nice guys at the moment?

I close the website. Didn’t miss an essential website (or app, for that matter) so far.

That is from a time when birds were still real.

Such a horrifying disaster!

I must buy a printer soon. Thank you for reminding me to avoid HP products.

First of all: congratulations. Seriously. This is awesome! Secondly: you designed the most Steampunk looking heart you could. Bravo, truly a capital marvel of fine craftsmanship.

Can’t see anything I disagree with in her statements. Imo she’s spot on. The near future looks even bleaker now.

…or Humble Bundle if they offer the actual software download.

Not if they just offer Steam keys.

In my opinion.

Sure. You can still be profiled, though. That can open doors for discrimination or other unsavory agendas. One also loses a measure of anonymity. Users don’t clearly see how and know that they are tracked, meaning there’s a loss of transparency.

It’s not just about ads.

This website explains it: https://pixelprivacy.com/resources/browser-fingerprinting/

Basically you send your user agent, browser and OS configuration like screen resolution, your primary system language, timezone, installed plugins and so forth as you browse the internet. Not so easy to block. In fact, avoiding fingerprinting 100% is almost impossible, because there are so many configurations. It is hard not be somewhat unique. Still there are ways to minimize the identifying information. Using Firefox, this is what you might want to read: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/resist-fingerprinting. Note, though, that even there it says that such techniques can “help prevent websites from uniquely identifying you”, not prevent it entirely.

A few more, yes. More than 13.5 thousand more.

Sadly, neither will truly protect you from fingerprinting.

You need to watch more Star Trek, friend.

Specifically “The Next Generation”, Season 6, Episode 4, " Relics".

Thank me later. 😁

Reddit… Reddit? That was a while ago… huh, I have trouble recalling a previous life…

It ignores that people have consciences and forces such ones into violent behavior. That violates human freedom and dignity.

Some countries have implemented some sort of civilian service. Others just ignore the wishes of their citizens. You decide the moral path here.

Probably a stupid comment, but still: if you’re a coder, you might be quicker just writing such a script yourself. Just fetch the links, slice them up, sort them by version and wget the one with the highest number.

If you’re not a coder, maybe someone here can help out?
