That “Someone” turns out to just be Action Retro. Classic. But then again, maybe everyone isn’t already watching his wacky content regularly like I am.


6 years ago when Outer Worlds released, I paid for one month of Game Pass, then cancelled it after 2 or 3 weeks or so when I had finished the game and got my money back. It was just a trial, like $2 or so, and it wasn’t like I was buying the game, it just so happened that when I clicked cancel it asked me why I was cancelling, and when I clicked “financial reasons” they gave me the option to refund. So I don’t feel like it was abusing the service, I genuinely only wanted to pay for that one month anyway.
But abusing GOG? That’s where I draw the line.
In theory, if you pay for the game there, you can download the installed which is DRM free, and without playing it you could refund it, and GOG Galaxy wouldn’t count any played hours. Although you’d need a pretty good internet connection to download that beefy installer, it’s not a small game.


I like how the title can be read as either AMD gaslighting us by calling us confused or AMD admitting they’re the ones confused. Although knowing that no corporation would ever admit a mistake, it’s not hard to figure out which was meant through deduction.


Hmm… I guess I’ve never thought about it before, but do vampires pee and poop?
I feel like the dick through the apron defeats the purpose of the apron, but hey, I’m not a fuckbaker so what do I know.


I guess in theory you’re right. If you’re executing code, you’re executing code. But usually when executing EXE files it tends to target Windows machines, but yeah, there’s no way of telling if it’ll recognize it’s in a linux environment and do it’s thing there as well.
Especially because OP mentioned he just clicked “Yes”/“Allow” to all the super user prompts.
Now personally I don’t run an Arch system and only install software from my distro + flatpak; So I feel pretty secure for now. But I can see that trend buckling as the AUR is already under attack.


Lest we forget about the Xubuntu malware thing that just happened recently. It only targeted windows users though.


You’re probably not wrong. The AUR has become an increasingly more popular target for malware.


I literally just watched this video yesterday which, as you mention yourself, talks about how modern malware will add itself to the exclusion list aka whitelist.
Anyway this is a good reason to try linux…
But at what cost… At what cost…

That’s alright nutsack. It’s better to have posted and lost, than to never have posted at all. Or wait, is that about love?


I don’t even play Apex Legends and I’m still a bit butthurt to this day that they decided to add anti-cheat that broke Linux compatibility. They say it helped bring the amount of cheaters down though, but who can really tell besides those who collect the numbers - which is them.
I did consider taking a screenshot before the edit from POW to POV, but eh.


Prisoner of war?


Eh. There’s also a bunch of bozos there that’ll literally rip 128 kbps mp3s from youtube and store them as FLACs. I saw it with my own 2 beady eyes right after the release of “The end of you” by Poppy, Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante. So there’s no way of knowing what source they’ve used.
EDIT: I do like Soulseek a lot tho!
I really liked the GUI of WinRar, but I no longer consider proprietary software to be an option.
Yeah, I don’t know about WinRar either, and I even bought a license back in 2010, so I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for using it, it’s just that I want to support FOSS more these days.
I am still pining for a Qt GUI compression/extraction killer app, that feels fully featured and able to handle it all. As it is, I keep three different ones installed, to meet my needs and mostly satisfy my workflow.
I believe Ark isn’t happy extracting a lot of r01, r02 etc. files or maybe it was passworded filed it struggled with, but that’s why I found PeaZip to begin with.


I got my YT algo trained well enough that I saw the release trailer earlier this morning. Unsurprisingly there’s quite a few comments about the rainbow logo…
This reads like a classic LinkedinLunatics post and I love it. Great parody!
