RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.

God bless 🫡 Get the occupying force the fuck outta there.

It's analogous, and this is a comment section. Deal with it.

It'll be Ubislop, or your money back!

Russia is the country imposing the invasion in Ukraine. Russia is the only country that can stop doing the invasion.

Lol. It's a close second, but at least Apple isn't blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

Good. You don't get to invade another country and expect that they won't hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don't belong in.

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I'm having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the "Automatically add games to Steam" option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you're willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I've heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I'll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.

I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.

FYI: The Mises caucus is an even more far-right faction of the (fake) Libertarian party that leans pretty heavily into ethno-nationalist policies. I'd take everything this article says with a massive grain of salt.

FYI: Bitwarden has integrations for SimpleLogin, Addy.io, FastMail, etc. for their username generator, so you can easily generate aliases for every site, regardless of what alias provider you use.

All hierarchies facilitate abuse. Theism is the ultimate hierarchy. When you have large congregations of people that fall in line under a hierarchy, those at the top will abuse those beneath them.

Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can't do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn't work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.

I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It's not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name over brew install package-name. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.

This was just a big-brained ploy by Chomsky to sell more copies of Manufacturing Consent. Truly, the Machiavelli of our time!
