I think you're just being pedantic here.

I'm pretty sure they meant when messages are sent using the iMessage app - from the point of view of iPhone user distinction between iMessage protocol and SMS/MMS doesn't matter.

What are you even trying to say?

You acknowledged yourself that the idea is older than whatever Minecraft did, so how exactly did Star Citizen steal anything?
Did Minecraft steal the idea from EVE Online which only had "one" server since the beginning?

Besides, distributed computing is nothing new.
Or are you going to accuse Star Citizen of plagiarizing the idea of using Internet to connect to their servers since someone else also did that before?

There's plenty of real issues to complain about regarding Start Citizen, you don't need to invent made up ones. :/

Exactly, that and the mobile app. Having simple markdown files and ability to sync them with Syncthing are just too good.

Steam reviews (at least for MGS1) say this release is literally just an ISO+emulator...

There's no reason an app should be more trustworthy than the email.
It's pretty standard for scummy companies to make the process as annoying as possible.

They already said they don't want to.

They asked you to install the app on purpose, in hopes that you'll decide it's too much hassle and decide not to delete the account.

The discussion is about anti-cheat, so piracy is not relevant here.

And no, there isn't that impression.
Statistics from Humble Bundles and such have always shown that Linux gamers are willing to pay more than any other platform.

It'd be nice, but from what I see most devs against this suggest Linux gamers are a bunch of dirty hackers and it's somehow much easier to cheat there.

They just conveniently forget that Valve offered to fix any bugs themselves that are specific to Linux/Proton...

Yes. That's all the ProtonVPN is. A WireGuard connection. Additional fancy UI is unnecessary.

They're way ahead of you, they already started implementing it in Chrome.

Looks like they provide WireGuard configs, which you can simply import in the NetworkManager: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/

Seems like a pretty complete support, honestly.

What big update? Wayland has been pretty usable (on AMD, anyway) for a while now.

It's a known issue, unfortunately.

See the notes for this Aqara/Xiaomi switch: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/SP-EUC01.html

It's pretty clear you're doing your best to misrepresent the reality, so arguing any further is useless...

Check you facts, see what Linus really did, as a self-proclaimed technical person you should be able to understand very clear warnings he ignored after running random commands he didn't understand.

What I read is that 70% of my games are not guaranteed to run.

Maybe read again. 75% of the most popular games on Steam have at least Gold rating, which means they have minor glitches or need trivial workarounds.

That’s quite the disingenuous comparison.

You've brought up the point about UI polish.
You're the one trying to compare UI polish to ignoring simple warnings.
Breaking your system on purpose does not quality as self-destruct.

There was nothing accidental about Linus. He did it on purpose, the system very clearly told him not to.

And Proton works much better than you imply. I don't know about their new "tiered" rating, but 30% games get Platinum rating (top 1000 most popular titles by player count). Besides that 45% have Gold, and nowadays more often than not that means the game simply just works.
Trying to say "oh, but it doesn't always work perfect!" is just nonsense.
How many games work perfectly without any issues on Windows?

And please don't say anything about "UI polish" on Windows when it can't even keep all its UI consistent - it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

And Twitch... almost every game in top #10 works perfectly without any troubles, so what's your point exactly?

Is Steam refusing to ship it to Norway, or you can't buy it at all? Maybe you can you use some kind of package forwarder?

I used to use https://www.mailboxde.com/ back when Amazon still refused to ship Kindles directly to my country and it worked just fine.

It wouldn't be nearly as good. VR is what makes this game as good as it is.

Updates might be the culprit. Next to "play" in Lutris there's a dropdown menu with "show logs" - try that and see why it fails.

Anyway, you should just try installing the game on your Linux partition. I don't remember the details now, but using Wine with games on NTFS partitions used to be discouraged.

Or maybe he's just hot.

Using reddit is using reddit, regardless of how you access it.

But you probably shouldn't worry too much - the fact remains that there's a ton of old, useful content that can be only found on reddit, so sometimes you don't really have a choice.
