  • A lot of times when a game isn't listed as 'playable' on Steam, it simply means that particular game hasn't been tested yet, and will probably still work just fine if you actually try and run it. The only real exceptions to that is games that require 'kernel level anticheat'.

    Edit: Check those games out on protondb and see what that says. Since it's a 'crowdsourced' platform, it's often more up to date than Valve is.

  • Yeah, GitHub really hurts. Hopefully people will start to use SourceForge and similar alternatives once they realize that Microsoft isn't just trying to monopolize Operating Systems and Gaming Studios, but the whole damn Internet as well.

  • Ditched Windows permanently 11 months ago for Pop-OS and couldn't be happier. I've been a big Linux fan for years, but would always dual boot for gaming purposes.

    I'm so glad that isn't necessary any longer. Almost feels cheating, being Microsoft free with Zero downsides and plenty of benefits.

    You may already know, but a lot of times when a game isn't listed as 'playable' it just means that particular game hasn't been tested yet and will likely still work just fine*, unless it requires kernel level anti cheat ofc

    Just so happens I'm boycotting that as well. If I wanted you to do shady shit to my OS, I'd have stayed on Windows.

    Edit: *Check the games not listed as playable on protondb and see what that says. Since it's a 'crowdsourced' platform, it's often more up to date than Valve is.

  • I am also boycotting Microsoft and every product from companies owned by them.

    Sure, that doesn't leave a lot of games I can buy, but hey, Indie games are often the best games. Also I have a backlog so huge there will probably be peace in the middle east before I'm through with it.

    Besides if there is a game I really want to play, I hear there arrrrr still ways to do so without supporting genocide.

  • Most modern historians consider "The Dark Ages" to be a myth.

    Even if that weren't the case you are talking about 500 years out of nearly 4 centuries.

    This is also an extremely 'Western' centered POV. While Europe was in the "Early Middle Ages", cultures around the world were thriving. The 'Byzantine Empire', The Tang dynasty in China, The Maya Civilization etc. Innovation happened all over the world, not just in Western Europe.

  • I ment alternative news, not mainstream, that should be obvious.

    How would that be obvious when it was all over mainstream news?

    I don’t live in the banana republic, even there the right wing Dem party and lib media fully supported her.

    I don't live in a "Banana Republic" either and I'm not sure that has anything to do with my claim about US News.

    This is literally my statement: " It has nothing to do with being a teenager but with her anti-capitalist stance "

    Yeah, I get that now that you have clarified. Did you expect me to divine the future to learn what you meant before I replied initially?

    And it does contradict your “it’s bcs she’s a teenager now”.

    Jesus fucking Christ. For the THIRD (3rd) time now, she is NOT a teenager any longer. She aged, just like everyone else did. Time continued to pass for her. She 'grew up'. She is now 22 years old, which is NOT a teenager. Now that she is 22 years old, she is no longer considered a Teen. She was born in 2003. 2025-2003 = 22 years old. I'm not sure how much more plainly I can say the same thing.

    Do you normally have this hard of a time comprehending the English language?

  • You can't really (remotely) hack a machine that doesn't have wireless capabilities or computer chips in them.

    In the movie it was just regular, non electronic machines like (pre-computerized) diesel trucks and lawnmowers etc.

  • If you knew about her still being in the news, your statement about how you never hear about her anymore makes little sense.

    She's not a teenager any longer, that was my point. It was fairly unusual for a 15 year old to be so outspoken and articulate about the problem, which is why she used to get a lot of coverage.

    Now she is just one young lady among millions who are outspoken about the issue, and the only thing that really distinguishes her from her peers is that she got famous for it at a young age.

    Almost all mainstream news in the US is right wing, and I was clearly speaking about why they don't report on her as much now as they originally did.

    I'm sure that her anti capitalist stance has a lot to do with her not being in the news as much, nothing I said contradicts that.

    From the way you worded your original statement it seemed like you were saying that the reason you don't hear from her now was because she wised up and stopped doing it, not that she realized capitalism was the problem and that caused the media to stop reporting on her.

    Now that I know what you meant it's clear we are on the same side of the issue, so I'm not sure why you are insisting that I'm 'completely wrong' about it.

  • There was a silly little movie in the 80's called "Maximum Overdrive", written and directed by Stephen King.

    In it Aliens somehow cause machines to 'turn' on human beings and attack us.

    They could remake that movie now but instead of Aliens causing the machines to attack people, it could be malicious 'hackers' that do it, and it would be more believable that the original film.

  • I generally agree with your point (although I think we can hold corporations accountable and make whatever changes to our lifestyle that will help at the same time) but

    There’s a reason you don’t hear about little Greta anymore, she got wise.

    She was in the news just last month for trying to get humanitarian aid to Palestine. She was on a ship that tried to bypass Israel's naval blockade and the Israelis seized the ship and it's cargo and eventually deported the activists.

    She's still very active in her environmental activism as well.

    You many not hear about her as much now that she's a young woman and not a teenager, but your implication that she 'got wise' is incorrect. The mainstream media doesn't like to report on her unless they can somehow make her look bad, because they don't want to remind people that climate change is happening or encourage young people to follow her lead.

  • That's ok, neither do most "Christians". So many people who identify as Christians only ever 'read' the bible on Sunday's when the preacher tells them to open to a specific chapter and verse, that way they can spin an out of context narrative and get them to believe whatever it is the preacher/pastor/priest wants them to believe.

    If more people actually read the bible there would probably be a lot fewer Christians, especially the Old Testament that evangelicals love to quote to justify their bigotry. It's basically one long racist and xenophobic justification for genocide and colonialism, and people are still being brutally murdered over it to this very day.

    Edit: a lot of Christian denominations even go so far as to specify exactly which translation of the bible that their members are allowed to buy. In the case of my families church "Apostolic Pentecostals" that would be the "King James Version", a terrible translation that is over 420 years old and written in a language that is basically not spoken any longer. The reason? Most of the people in their congregation were/are barely literate. If they were allowed to use a modern translation they might be able to understand just how twisted the church's narrative actually is.

  • There's several more actually, but they don't follow those either.

    17You must not make yourselves molten gods.

    18 “You must keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you; do this at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

    19 “Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, even every firstborn of your cattle that is a male, whether ox or sheep. 20 Now the firstling of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons.

    “No one will appear before me empty-handed.

    21 “On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest[at] you are to rest.

    22 “You must observe the Feast of Weeks—the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat—and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year. 23 At three times in the year all your men must appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.

    25 “You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with yeast; the sacrifice from the Feast of Passover must not remain until the following morning.

    26 “The first of the firstfruits of your soil you must bring to the house of the Lord your God.

    “You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

  • Which is precisely why reality has a left bias. If Leftists are more reality based and Right wingers are more fiction based, which is absolutely the case, then reality does agree with the Left more than the right. You could argue the semantics of the word "bias", but I mean it in the sense of "Tendency" and not "Prejudice"
