i couldn’t understand why an indie developer (if they have any ethics) would sell out like that

It's pretty tempting to know your next offering will sell, even if not a single customer plays it. No need to consider layoffs, etc.

I'm still confused on why Netflix has any games.

Yeah, the reporting I have seen says the ceasefire wasn't fully followed at first, but has been holding since.

How to run something you don’t trust without performance lost?

A virtual machine is generally your best choice. You build a little box around it and tell it to have fun inside that box.

It doesn't work well for games (you can do it with games, but it's generally not worth it), but for smaller programs, it is a very reliable choice with minimal performance impact.

When they try to negotiate for food or economic assistance, it gets framed as extortion

When one threatens death and destruction in exchange for money and goods, one does frame that as extortion, yes.

Why the hell would you want Iran to have nukes? Just because Israel and/or US bad, doesn't mean Iran is good. Far, far from it.

Things with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.

Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don't think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.

I'm still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.

steam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin

What steam game requires admin permissions? I'm not aware of any games that require admin permissions.

consistently want to be left alone to do their thing

They consistently want to extract economic and food assistance from other countries via threatening all kinds of shit. But otherwise, yes.

It was attempted many times by South Korea, by the US, and by others to get North Korea to trash their nuclear program. It didn't work.

The world learned if a country isn't giving up their nuclear program, even with large incentives to do so, one cannot just hope things change in the future. That baseless hope is how we got a nuclear armed North Korea. The world learned, and a different strategy is being taken with Iran.

Men had privileged position in the society for millennia.

Other people had this privileged position in society for millennia. The people turning away from progressive politics aren't wearing top hats, their hands are oil-covered. When you tell them they are privileged, that everything is just handed to them by society, they look around and wonder what you are talking about.

If 98% of Lemmy wants to kill all men, that's a pretty shit state of affairs.

“Reserve Cloud PCs” will be preloaded with Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s preferred security policies and other Windows customizations.

You need a working PC to access this 'reserve' PC. Why not just install Office on your own PC and ignore this extra cloud thing?

Drop policies that have been consistent long-term losers like expanded gun control.

Suppressors are a hearing safety device/noise pollution reducer and Democrat politicians describe them like they get all their information from a John Wick movie. It would be so easy for the party to drop the matter entirely and throw politically-homeless gun owners a bone by taking suppressors off the NFA.

Force through policies that improve their lives at the cost of others, for example, healthcare paid for by taxing billionaires

Yep! Follow that up with policies that improve people's lives and we have a ticket that writes itself.

Start by no longer telling men who have done nothing wrong they are responsible for the misdeeds of others. It breeds resentment and closes people to anything else you have to say.

I’m confused, OBS works well. What is missing you are desiring?

• Bring lots of audio entertainment pre-loaded on your phone (don't rely on internet) or burnt to a CD. Podcast, audiobook, w/e. Boredom is the mind killer.
• Bring snacks that don't leave your hands dirty.
• Bring a sandwich, it's much cheaper than buying one.
• Bring a refrigerated and a frozen water bottle. The latter will still be cold for the second half of the trip.
• When you stop to pee/get gas, make sure you walk around for a few minutes. Your legs get tired just sitting.
• Both Google and Apple maps supports pre-downloading maps. This is very helpful if you need to set a route and you don't have service where you happen to be.

I wouldn't worry about it too hard, there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with Ubuntu. Both it and mint are in the same family after all.

Sounds like you should just keep Ubuntu and get the non-snap versions of the apps that need codecs.

O, yeah. Snaps basically live in their own little system. Anything you do to your wider system, like installing codecs, will not affect a snap. Easiest solution is to remove the snap VLC and install normal VLC. Same for Firefox and MPC.

I have heard nothing good about snaps and Canonical pushing them is a big reason you don't see people recommending Ubuntu, and instead recommending things like Mint (me included).
