I used it in the beginning for this early adopter price to be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on my 15 year old PC. It was great but I canceled because of hardware upgrades since then. Apparently, just in time before the inevitable enshittification.
Cleaning up files upon uninstall - Your uninstall script should already be cleaning up any files created or modified by your install process. However, we know that some older games may not fully remove files upon uninstall, and it isn’t possible to update the game any longer. Players need to know if any anti-cheat utilities have left files behind, especially those that modify OS kernel files.
This section alone shows how stupid kernel level anti-cheat is. Play a game and gain a persistent security risk. It’s actually a feature that such games don’t run on Linux.
I also don’t want to have to talk to it, so switching to Home Assistant with Zigbee
That’s what started it all for me. I have some Hue lights for TV backlighting and started looking for alternatives when Philipps first threatened making their cloud account mandatory.
Threw out the bridge, works like a charm and I have been buying new devices and return everything I cannot setup locally but it’s annoying because they don’t always tell about their crappy app and cloud accounts on the product info.
Good luck getting any other parents to give a shit though.
That’s the big one, sadly.
Joke’s on you - I can’t even reach my Zigbee devices in the next room, your car won’t have a chance from the street. That’ll make it easier to convince it to come back home though.
I wish. Every fucking bank has their own shitty app for 2FA instead of just using standardized and proven TOTP, no way around that.
Same about school apps the article mentioned since it’s connecting to their (one of many) proprietary system, no website for that.
And recently got into the home automation rabbit hole. Lots of devices that require their fucking app, sometimes with mandatory cloud account, just to connect! And people in reviews even praise how easy it is, it’s infuriating! I don’t need light bulbs connecting to the internet, thank you very much.
I have already ramped up on that one on their last ad ramp up.

Wait what?
Edit: duh, he was a jockey. I should let the moment of confusion settle before replying.
Yes, it’s inconvenient but how is your future SO going to meet you if stay at home? She’s probably unsocial like you but you could still meet her family or friends by dating eventually leading to her.
Of course you could try your luck staying online too but I’d suggest something else than niche platforms where tech enthusiasts are overrepresented like the Fediverse.
He really is running low on soldiers, isn’t he?
I disagree. Scaled down to small and harmless it’s like handling kids. You explain what you don’t want them to do and what happens/you’re going to do if they continue. Now it’s crucial you go through with what you threatened them with.
If you either don’t deliver on the “threat” or don’t act as you said you would, guess what happens? They just continue or it even gets worse.
Of course it’s more delicate/difficult when handling with powerful and intelligent adults but it’s at least similar. Not issuing threats is just not communicating. If you then just act (violently), things are more likely to escalate.
Edit: or back to the kids analogy: don’t tell them anything but smack them once they went too far: may help in that instance but they’ll just learn to better avoid you and do shit behind your back.
Hey now, it was carefully designed and thoroughly trained on Tinder dickpics
Don’t let selection bias put you off. These stories are filtered by “worst date” and then you’ll basically only read the top ten over the top versions of those.
I guess most dates are around “fine” to “meh” and not traumatizing.
I had never eaten vegan food
Really? You’ve never eaten just fries?
Good for you dodging that crazy bullet though.

Probably don’t know how to get it to run.

Kinda. It’s basically a love child between server hosting and streaming services with focus on gaming.
You can connect your Steam account, for example, and then run games on their hardware which is streamed to you by browser. So you have control which games to run into but have to bring your own.
Payment options include more powerful hardware but even the basic one was great when I used it. So I could play a modern game with raytracing on my old potato. Your machine just needs to be able to easily stream stuff, so run a modern browser without sweating.
On the offside, it’s naturally always online and I had latency problems when many players were online which was common on weekends and what got me to upgrade my setup eventually.
