That’s the only thing I worry about personally, not the users so much, but the capitalists who see “opportunity” once Linux gains a hold, and start figuring out how to make it disgusting like everything else they touch with their greedy little slop mitts.
It won’t be “Well, Linux doesn’t permit anticheat”, it will be
“Okay how do we create some centralized power structure that makes invasive DRM and anticheat that runs on Linux?”
And they’ll move to colonize.
Oh yeah, and disallowing employees from discussing their income, I think was another one.
Lots of anti-union behavior.

parents should be put in charge of their own kids,
So convenient that governments and their corporate masters take such a keen interest in watching our kids, after making all their parents spend most of their lives at miserable jobs.
On your feet, comrade. This is no place to die.
That’s so cool. This should also help with all those roguelikes that map vim navigation!
Is there a good place to start learning regular expressions as if I’m a young kiddo who just learned to finally read? Lol
…I have a wee one on the way so I’d like to get ahead of this knowledge myself lol. 😅
Comments like this I wish I could upvote for the laugh and simultaneously downvote on principle lol. XD
But I would maybe consider using Linux for everything except for specifically games that require Windows.
That’s the way. I started this way too, and as I got more comfortable well, my Windows partition hasn’t been booted for a couple years now because OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has run all my games beautifully.
Vermintide II even stopped crashing the entire system when I used Linux instead of Windows! On Nvidia BTW.
Even though sometimes it feels like I might be missing out on playing some of the newest hypey-est multiplayer games, I also remind myself that I don’t want something on my computer like the new Battlefield’s or Riot Games’ incredibly creepy and invasive anticheat, no matter the OS!
… Plus, I got like a thousand games to enjoy anyway. Maybe you’ll feel the same, idk?
I will say though, Linux starts to just feel fun to compute on. It feels like a machine that’s yours instead of some licensed appliance. I missed that feeling from the really old Windows days when it was fun.
Do a little exploring, but picking a distro with KDE should feel at home really quick coming from Windows. :)
a job that refused to pay me overtime after a year of working for them as the sole employee/manager of the shop.
Wow, like they would force you to work just under the limit to qualify for overtime, or wouldn’t pay overtime owed? Because that’s straight up wage theft!
I notice businesses that try to be “savvy” by taking shortcuts and skirting labor laws tend to collapse themselves once they run out of employees that are way too good for them and won’t put up with it anymore.
Glad you escaped.
That’s AWESOME. I hope Nextcloud gets better at this soon. So far I’ve been needing to spend some time renaming the files from 64 character CDN hash names to tags like
"Monkey,gibbon,spin,woop,reaction.gif"
It’s worked somewhat well so far if I try to keep it as simple and obvious as possible.
Pointing soyjack squad, deploy! Lol

Oh that’s neat. I remember someone just saying “Cut out 3 yellow triangles, tape them to the TV, and have Link jump and get them.” Lol!
I felt the same way but also the shock value of the PSA might just save someone too. It’s definitely a gray area this time around, I think.
I’m glad it’s just the xray at least.
Sounds like they were designed by a Spore player. 😂
So does our Colombian red tail boa! :D
EDIT: That’s just a little heat coil with a fan though in the cold months. Be very careful and research heavily before blasting IR light at reptiles!
Ah I see what you’re saying.
Thanks for taking the time for the clarification! I’m sure this would clear it up for some other folks as well.
I also know they’re a fraction of the size of those giants who can probably field staff specifically for FOSS contribution, but that’s still a bit disheartening. I hope things improve.
Every time they’ve seemed like a good option I find myself balking at the price though lol.
I think you need to possess the certificate first before they’ll even consider you, though.
