  • It is very much to Ukraine's benefit to drag out this war if the alternative is Russian subjucation.

    If on the other hand the alternative you are seeking is flooding Ukraine with Western-provided weapons to the point that they annihilate the invaders and win quickly.. yeah, that would be better for Ukraine than a drawn-out war.

  • When the volume of potentially relevant and interesting content is enormous to the point that a standard human brain can't possibly hope to filter through all of it in reasonable time, the algorithm makes plenty of sense.

    I just want a fair algorithm that represents what is best for me and us.

  • Even if this event is a bit old, I think I see the point in reposting it. A right-wing liar will repeat a lie often enough, and that repetition will embed that idea in people's heads.

    This is truth, and it is so incredibly relevant to our situation right now. Maybe it is a few months old, but we need to internalize on a visceral level that j6 participants are criminals who were brought before the law and rightfully punished for offenses against all of us. This needs to be publicised, and if it means we see this exact article (and hopefully similar ones for others involved) over and over again, then that's the way it has to be.

  • Not a dumb question if you haven't been keeping up.

    The Steam Deck runs Linux and not Windows by default. (It can be loaded by the user if desired.)

    Given their desire for a nearly-console-like experience, they put in a bunch of effort into the Proton compatibility layer to get Windows games to work here. It's not perfect, but it really is a very good experience at this point.

    I personally do have a fairly powerful Windows desktop, but the vast majority of my gaming is on Linux on my Steam Deck now.

  • No.

    DRM is an artificial obstacle put in place to get in the way of something entirely technologically possible.

    The elements discussed here are just the natural steps to perform an action outside of the standard workflow, and are actually of reasonable difficulty. Saying "you are free to do it, but I'm not going to help you" is the exact opposite of DRM.

    I saw LDS 4x08 at NYCC yesterday!

  • Honestly, this.

    The economics of the world are such that people need to be paid for the content they produce. Having a direct relationship between me as the consumer and them as the producer is the way we don't get shit like all of the ad-based spyware that surrounds shit like Facebook. It won't completely prevent it, but it gives a good business plan for it not to happen.

    I'd vastly prefer something that didn't require some megacorp as evil as Amazon. But.. this could actually make as much sense as is possible with our current economic system.

  • Yeah, the problem there is the enormous power base someone amasses by being in power for decades. Any other person has an incredibly narrow chance regardless of how competent and fit for purpose they are.
