If I played any Rockstar games, I’d be unhappy with their new anti-cheat too, since it needlessly blocks linux, but this isn’t the way this should be protested. If anything, this probably validates their decision.

The way this should be protested is to just stop playing. Stop giving them money. Stop boosting their month active user numbers that they can flaunt to investors. Hit them financially, since it’s the only hit they really care about. There’s a sea of other high-quality games you can play instead.

For the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:

• Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
• Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
• Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
• Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
• Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
• Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)

Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.

One of my main tools has been SteamDB’s instant search - it’s basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool

If you or your family care about privacy, their Android app has fewer trackers (see Spotify v. Apple Music).

English-speaking population is about 1.5 billion worldwide and 300 million of that is in the US (first language or additional language), so the US is about 20% of the world’s English speakers. The 2nd and 3rd countries with the most English-speakers are India and Nigeria, so factor in internet access, and the US is almost certainly >20% of the English-speaking internet.

Looks like Lemmy.world has the entire instance blocked: https://lemmy.world/instances

Was wondering why I hadn’t heard of this bot before…

Seems like a peaceful hobby. [email protected] has a whopping 3.4k subscribers, so it seems to be relatively popular around here too.

Both Bitwarden and KeePass are very secure, certainly much better than something like Lastpass…

Bitwarden’s server and client are open source and completely E2EE (similar to Signal, the server is zero-knowledge). And even if you don’t trust Bitwarden’s official server, you can host your own.

KeePass is fine too, but it doesn’t have a centralized server like Bitwarden. You have to use other tools to sync your vault between devices. Which some people prefer, but others dislike. Just depends on your preference.

How detailed is .world’s IP logging? I’m sure many privacy-minded users think that’s important to know before disabling their VPNs.

Additionally, would it be possible to allow posts/comments that don’t have any links or images? Or does even that introduce too much risk?
