I think all this news about people seeming arbitrarily being detained by ICE is already making people want to steer way clear of anything US right now.

Likely something to do with English being a secondary language to the vast majority of the world...

I can't choose an absolute favorite, that's like choosing a favorite child.

It's a toss up between the Mass Effect Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher (in partiuclarly 3) and (most) of Fallout games (but in particular 1 and 2).

If you were to put a gun to my head I'd probably pick either Mass Effect Trilogy or Cyberpunk 2077, probably based on what game i've played for the millionth time most recently.

I love how in a world where we banned straws we are somehow OK with Microsoft pushing people to recycle their old but otherwise adequate system for what, to the vast majority of people, are some paper thin security advantages.

Anybody who asks me about Windows 10's EOL date will be introduced to the option of using Linux before i'll help them select a replacement system. Especially if they literally only use a browser there really is no reason to go through hoops or spend money to stick with Windows.

Getting banned from Reddit is Reddit doing you a favor.

That was before Steam Deck and Proton, though, so I should probably test it all again.

The steam deck is exactly what convinced me to give Linux a whirl on my main gaming PC again and honestly I regret not making this move way earlier.

Everything that runs on a steam deck should run on any Linux PC. This list of games recently crossed 18k.

So far I have zero regrets, performance of the games i've played to date is on par with what I was seeing on Windows, even with Nvidia's notoriously bad reputation for Linux support.

Proton is an absolutely bonkers development and Valve's doing legendary work with it's push for Linux.

I do have to end this by saying I don't do online gaming so I have not had to deal with anti-cheat bullshit that doesn't want to work on anything that's not Windows and 99.9 percent of my games exist in either Steam or GOG. (the latter of which is supported on Linux with the Heroic launcher)

The way it's looking now, I consider the chance of me migrating back to Windows on my private machines near zero. Games were the only thing keeping me on windows privately.

Government needs to fully migrate to open source. Instead of re-inventing the wheel contribute to existing projects.

Yeah we cancelled any plans we had for a US visit. Not taking any risks with those action eager ICE pricks with my wife being from Mexico.

We'll revisit that prospect if and when this hellish insanity dies down.

I wonder if there's any data on tourism decline since cheeto started flailing his proverbial axe around blindly.

Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency.

I have to assume this guy was aware of this. So if you vote to have "illegals" deported, how is this not exactly what you voted for?

They really don't like having to think about things do they?

I wonder if he told at all her he votes for people that want her gone.

Can't shake the feeling Musk doesn't like Wikipedia because Musk only likes facts he can use.

I remember elon saying something along the lines of his camera system being just as good and they thusly don't need to employ things like LIDAR.

You could set the building on fire.

This reads like an email or news message you find on random computers in dystopian computer games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077.

Money probably really doesn't make you happy. Most of the things that make me happy have nothing to do with me being able to buy crap I don't need.

But that dumb sentiment hides the fact that a lack of money can definitely make you miserable.

Only the people that never had stress over dentist of vet bills will suggest money is somehow not a massive factor in determining your quality of life in a capitalist society.

Nobody that is even vagualy familiair with how internet works knows Elon can't know where the attack is coming from. Cirtainly not so quickly.

Even if somebody only leveraged their botnet in Ukraine it could be his next door neighbour beeing the actual puppetmaster.

Origin IP's mean zilch.

But ofcourse the people to whom he is Jesus himself will just gobble that conjecture up like it's mama's paella.

So we can add "illegal" to the list of words Trump uses but doesn't know the meaning of.

The best option here is to just tank Chrome's market share instead of making something that's obviously not ideal, work.

Scherp. Ook die is vervangen. Maar dingen opzoeken op internet na 20 jaar geen "googlen" meer noemen gaat nog wel even wat tijd overheen ben ik bang.

Die zijn zeker goed om te hebben, maar ik zou eens beginnen met een jerrycannetje (pp) water die je gewoon ergens hebt staan... als je dat elke 4 of 5 maanden ververst ben je volgens mij prima veilig en heb je voor ruim een week schoon en veilig drinkwater.

Je moet toch ergens water hebben om in beginsel te reinigen, en om nou gelijk je regenton in te duiken omdat je pilletjes hebt...

Ik vind een boycot wel een sterke term maar we zijn bij ons thuis wel echt actief dingen naar lokale(ere) producten aan het omkatten waar mogelijk ja. Waar het wel helpt dat ik daar sowieso al veel langer mee was.

Bijvoorbeeld maar niet beperkt tot:

• Gmail enzo exit, Proton voor in de plaats.
• Amazon exit, (random webshop of gewoon gewoon de gebruikelijke dozenschuivers als bol, coolblue, mediamarkt)
• Lemmy over Reddit.
• Minder streaming diensten, meer europese diensten.
• Kijken waar producten vandaan komen in de supermarkt.
• Social media min of meer volledig weg.
• Signal over whatsapp. (al is signal evengoed gebaseerd in de VS, het is open source en niet van Zuck)

En als ik nu dingen koop betrap ik me er toch ook op even op vluchtig te googlen wie er geld aan verdient als ik het koop. Ik was aan het twijfelen tussen een Remington en Philips tondeuse bijvoorbeeld en dat is dan toch Philips geworden. (ik ben me er van bewust dat philips ook al even niet meer Nederlands is)
