Those same academics aren’t the kinds of people that do well in a hostile environment. All it takes is some coordinated brow-beating and they will cave every time.

Every rich person is a piece of trash and deserves to be taken out.

“Publishing” isn’t necessary in 2026.

Anyone can put information out there for free. If it’s genuinely worth reading, people will read it.

I’m glad I’ve learned to ignore people like you.

I’m so glad companies have enough excessive funds to use that money against me.

I seriously get annoyed at the amount of work it takes to keep a PC running.

???

Man, it’s sad how effective peer pressure on the internet is.

It’s another reason why I don’t take most people on it seriously.

I’ve been using Manjaro for years without issue.

It is the best distro for my needs.

People say you should buy hardware that explicitly supports Linux, but I disagree. See if it works. If it doesn’t, then return it.

I’ve never had an issue with Linux compatibility on a laptop, and I use gaming laptops.

“Targeting proton” is another reason why I don’t take the development community at large seriously.

It’s full of dipshits all regurgitating each other’s stupidity.

For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort.

Only if you’re a bad developer or using bad tools!

I encourage everyone who thinks “it’s too difficult or costly” to see for themselves before believing the people taking them for a ride!

Would be pretty funny if Valve demanded that, but I don’t see it happening.

It’s really up to users and developers to grow some balls and stop suckling the corporate teat.

You’ll probably need to install them via a windows VM and copy them over to Linux. Even then, it will be hit or miss.

Good luck.

Nope.

Pirating games can be kind of a hassle on Linux. You need to install a lot of them in a Windows VM which will take up a lot of additional storage during the installation process. Once it’s installed, you can delete the extra copies. Getting the games to work can be a challenge, too. Be prepared to fiddle with a lot of stuff like Lutris and changing settings just to see what works.

The actual argument is that it’s acceptable to discriminate against people of color because data shows they are considerably more violent than whites.

The same thing applies to discriminating against men because data shows they are considerably more violent than women.

Sexism and racism are okay if you have the data to back it up. Unless… this is a double standard and we’re allowing discrimination based on sex but not discrimination based on race?

Woah. Crazy how governments around the world are all doing this in lock-step.

It’s almost like we’re all being ruled by a handful of families haha.

MGSV sucked.

Holy shit that image is so fucking based. I’m glad I’m not the only one who realizes how stupid consumerist rhetoric is.

Everyone who thinks art won’t get made or engineering won’t get done without copyright and patent laws has never paid attention to history.

This is another step towards having a digital ID that is required to use computers at all.
