That’s because Steam/Proton has mostly solved this (with some qualified notorious exceptions), which used to be a real problem even just a few years ago, but not remotely as much these days; the meme is mostly outdated by now, I’ve lived both cases and it used to be a pain but these days? people are spoiled by Valve and many have never lived the OP situation (which is great news!)

Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games

And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive

At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there’s a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

In EU at least they’re required by law to have working unsubscribe links that actually unsubscribe you, otherwise they risk getting huge fines, i understand that in California things are not too far from this but no idea about the details

Any background on why he didn’t say the speech?

Correct!

VPNs were never intended to make you anonymous, if you expected a VPN to make you anonymous you were very mistaken

Tangential partial offtopic aside: Unless i’m misunderstanding, you’re setting this up behind your home router and allowing it on your various devices using a VPN. Am i right? Any details, or even better, guides, on how to replicate this setup? I guess the DNS records on Leng are to be able to call services inside your home LAN by name instead of IPs, which is a nice quality of life upgrade.

Most did, but there’s always people like OP 😅

Well fuck…

I’m thinking of the target user for this: For us here it’s a really unfunny joke. For the people wanting to do “non-kosher” stuff like watching streaming for other countries or even outright pirating i don’t think Google’s gonna have their back. People trying to hide their identity while doing compromising stuff (like anything sexual or identity related, not illegal but not something they want in public) hopefully know not to trust Google on this. And corporate users already have their own corporate VPNs, don’t think they’re aiming for those (yet).

Who the fuck is left as potential user? My only conclusion is the terminally gullible. I see no other option. And since of course there’s a sucker born every minute it’ll have millions of users…

Likely related to that lawsuit they’re dealing with

VERY understandable, requiring a GPU would limit it’s application and spread, i hope a good GPU-less solution is found eventually

I am saving this post for the future, informative! Thanks!

Until Gmail/Hotmail decides your IP is a spammer and forever you have deliverability issues from then on

Last i saw, the physical media version of their recent shows came with a box and a code to get it online, not actual discs, so they’re effectively getting out of the business of letting you own your media

Nothing specific, but Postgres date management is really, really useful, i can do a query on a date, parts of a date, timestamps, compare dates and times, intervals, all sorts of powerful operations. SQLite seems to have none of that, the date seems like a courtesy item added later as an afterthought because somebody asked or something, it has absolutely none of that, and when i have to do things with it it’s painful, relying on doing operations on the Unix epoch of dates for most stuff because the dates themselves are not really usable. Was hoping somebody else had done something to improve on this but doesn’t look like it.
