Sounds like there's something wrong with your windows EFI partition in that case.

I don't know how to fix that short of a reinstall. If you do reinstall, make sure to unplug (yes, that's actually neccessary) all drives except the one you want to install windows on, otherwise the installer is almost guaranteed to fiddle around with them despite you not selecting them.

Because their algorithm is pretty damn good at recommending relevant stuff. For example, titanfall 2 got revived and I found a lot of small youtubers (<20k subs) making some incredibly good content through it. The secret is to click "not interested" on all the clickbait crap often enough and at some point it'll learn.

Though I do use

The issue is that grub, the bootloader, doesn't know about windows and can't boot it. You can go into BIOS and change the boot order to boot windows without figuring this out as a stopgap.

I had to create /etc/default/grub as well on arch, so do that and rerun grub-mkconfig.

As usual, the arch wiki has a great but short guide on that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Detecting_other_operating_systems Read the entire article to get an idea of how to work with grub, then follow the windows section exactly.

My 256GB SSD is full from just elite dangerous and my 512GB SD card is almost full as well.

I'll have to join you eventually.

Hakita is either very ok or not ok at all.

I mean look at his youtube channel: https://m.youtube.com/@Hakita/videos

given that the lawmakers who enact crap like that are usually tech-illiterate, we at least have high chances of loopholes.

At this point, I instinctively disagree with anyone who tries to "protect the children" or "fight terrorism". I tried challenging that prejudice many times, but never had any success.

I don't have any hope for any of this improving.

The EU is currently working on legislation to search through all chat messages sent by everyone ever, so the only way to keep any privacy is to take it into your own hands.

But that's how politics work nowadays. You need to assume that every group is homogenous and when someone from that group points out that it isn't, you call them a hypocrite.

They shouldn't be required to keep selling it, but they should be required to strip it of any DRM when they do stop selling it.

That way everyone wins. They can get out of the market at minimal effort and players can still enjoy their games.

No, it's morally obligatory.

And that's what makes this bad. A game that's perfectly playable and even has a community is taken away by greedy Ubisoft. This should be illegal.

"Jarvis"

How is pulling the entire image because of this acceptable in any way? Slap a fat warning on the site if you want, but don't throw off people's schedule by doing this.

KDE for me. As much as I hate windows, I like the floating windows, task bar and tray. KDE has that out of the box and lets me tweak all the little annoyances away.

Agreed, if the game is still playable on other machines it's a graphics problem.

In any case, it's java so the server should autosave and you can add mods for backups.

You know, creating new accounts to spam this makes it seem like even more of a scam than the text already does.

So if I understand correctly, you define the border of piracy as the technicality of websites where the HTML and JS are accessible as opposed to a binary that comes with built-in DRM.

How do you think about DRM-free games?

When did I say piracy was wrong?

In this case it's apparently the only option.

Exxon won't give a shit, but apple probably will. Half of their marketing is greenwashing, so they'll have to think of something new.

Maybe some people will also understand that corporations aren't their friends, but with apple users that's a rather slim chance.

How about privacy.com?

It lets you create a virtual credit card for every subscription and the point is that you can cancel those with a single click, but it's also said to be a good way of keeping track of the subscriptions.
