Since both services store your notes as markdown files on your disk, you can just move your files over. When spinning up a docker container, you likely defined a path for your SilverBullet space. If not, try creating a note and see if you can find it on your disk.

Sure man, whatever you want to believe.

Why are CDPR games no longer being sold on the GOG store?

What are you taking about? Where in that email did you get the idea that that was going to happen?

You are confusing CD Projekt with CD Projekt Red.

But it's okay because this is from Mozilla :)

Quoting the conversation you replied to:

Again, install Linux already and be done with this shit.

When Linux gets around to supporting all the games I like I will

Yes, the wording of "when Linux gets around to supporting" was bad and can be interpreted as "Linux needs to do the work". We who are familiar with Linux know that game support depends on the game's developer, not on any certain OS or plarform. You need to keep in mind that not everyone is as proficient with operating systems as we are, and thus not everybody might be aware who is at fault for lack of support.

You belittled the person in your comment, first assuming that they "suffer" on Windows, and then telling them to fix it themselves. You can't have meant that genuinely; after recognizing that they misunderstood the support situation, it should have been obvious to you that they're not capable of fixing the support themselves. So it must have been a snarky remark of yours and little more.

Instead of being this condescending, your comment should have been educational, explaining whose fault the lack of support actually is. Not even necessarily for the person you replied to, but for the sake of everyone else who finds this thread at a later point in time.

Even if you don't need Linux to win, I ask you that you consider how your comments reflect on the Linux community at large. What will people think when they see how you reply to people voicing their concerns?

Would you be happy being part of a community that although representing a genuine effort towards freedom from big tech, is perceived as elitist and insular by outsiders? I use Linux too, and I wouldn't be.

Maybe ask the people what they find confusing about Mastodon, and listen.

I'll give you example. Say I want to sign up , but mastodon.social has currently closed sign-ups. People tell me I can just sign up on any instance, but there's dozens of them and they all appear to be the same. As someone who's not familiar with federated services, I don't know what to base my instance decision on.

How would you help me overcome this choice paralysis?

Think of the people who search for YouTube to MP3 downloaders.

According to PCGamingWiki, the game does have Steam DRM. It was available DRM-free on GOG.

We're on Lemmy, where proprietary software is poison and companies are literally Hitler.

I'd much rather gloat about how I don't have to deal with crap like this.

Alright, go ahead and do that. Surely that'll help the mainstream perception of Linux and its community.

Is this how you advocate for Linux?

That's always so easy to say, isn't it?

Why was it a hard decision for you?

Not the person you replied to, but when a few friends of mine tried to migrate off Twitter, mastodon.social had closed sign-ups. So with the "official" instance unavailable, the issue was that there was a choice at all.

While there's only one "Twitter" or (presently) only one "BlueSky" to join, on Mastodon you suddenly have to decide which instance is the right one to make your account on. Which instance is most likely to stick around for the next couple years? Which instance is most aligned with your interests? Does the instance happen to (de)federate in any way that is a deal-breaker for you? Is the instance moderated well? You wouldn't have to think about those if you signed up to BlueSky.

It's an issue similar to what Linux has with distributions.

That's your subjective opinion

How many non-techie people do you know that read press releases of apps?

Unironically, yes it is.

Not quite.

A project's repo would still be in one centralized location, like gitlab.com. But you'd no longer need an account on gitlab.com to make a pull request.

That's why I buy on GOG. There I can pull the installer for a game and hoard it when I know the next update is going to go bad.

What are those security issues?
