No, you can for the games that don’t have drm, just launch the executable. Steam itself doesn’t require any drm. Even the games that use Steam services can be drm-free. Here’s the list of some drm-free Steam games

Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while

As far as I know GOG also sells drm content and Steam also sells drm-free content. So what’s the point

they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche

I also don’t remember them doing anything for Linux apart from releasing a broken port then badmouthing people who complained that the game they bought is broken.

all other studios are doing layoffs

That’s not true.

I don’t know a thing about that but isn’t it just stealing money? And if they are already stealing money why not steal all of it?

Just wondering why would you want to ban anything? Does banning something solve any problem that a normal person has? I mean if the ban wave is on it would be fair to ban anything that’s not open source but I do think censorship is cancer.

I wish. But it says it’s not available in my region. Which is really weird in the current globalized world.

I’d easily argue that the average AAA game from a decade ago looks just as good on a 1080/1440p display as the average AAA game today - and I’d still bet the difference wouldn’t be that noticeable for 4K either.

If you just count pixels, yes. But what really made a big step forward in this decade was the realistic animation. And it does require a lot of effort and time to make it right.

Like how? I mean do you and people upvoting you really think there will be some trial for Israel leaders? Right now we in the situation where military support for them is increasing. And the tendency is it will increase further. What do you imagine might change?

Well he probably is making the biggest advertising for them in their history. No matter how this war ends, there will be thousands of people with a grudge against Israel.

That was the moment I decided to selfhost my email server.

So now the hosting you use will share the same(or likely much more) data if some government requests it.

I’m against censorship in any ways, just seems hypocritical to judge Israel here when everyone does it.

To be fair both the US and the EU did ban Russian journalists, so it seems hypocritical to judge Israel here.

Counterpoint. There was one whistleblower killed, there are lots of people on this case like Boeing staff, government employees, the police, senators, the president, who haven’t done shit. Now there are two murders. Any of the people who SHOULD be doing something about it doing anything? No. Now there are 12 brave people against the thousands of shit people.

It’s impossible though. The whistleblower has to whistle to someone from the government. Corps like Boeing pay a lot to many people from the government. In case of Boeing they also pay with the taxpayers money that the government gave them. Which is funny because those whistleblowers likely payed for their own murder.

Isn’t it legal now? Did the US government nullify any Boeing contracts because of the first murder? Any of the Boeing heads and their government stooges in prison?

I’d love to be eating my words here, but I think Microsoft would rather pull all the marketing tricks out the book to force everyone into Win11

Windows is not what Microsoft gains profit from, they clearly say that in their yearly reports for like a decade. They don’t want you to upgrade to Win11, that’s why they set the upgrade requirements. They don’t want to make Windows, they want to sell cloud Linux and other opensource because it brings money and raises stock value. They want you to drop Windows without any lawsuits against them. Preferably gaining some ads money before you do.

Windows is just more trouble than it’s worth nowadays.

To be fair that’s exactly how Microsoft management feels. For half a decade now Microsoft is a company that sells Linux and opensource judging by their yearly reports, other departments either don’t grow nearly as fast or are just straight detrimental. So they do want you to dump that shit, preferably gaining some cash before it happens naturally.

If you ever do switch I suggest something with KDE, I love keyboard shortcuts and I find anything other(Windows the most) extremely lacking in that field.

one TOTP app more

You say this as a bad thing.

Isn’t the point of cruise missiles that the fly low to the ground? Though that doesn’t make the meme worse.
