Android… Best of both worlds…

So it is a conflict and not a “special military operation”?

As I understand it it’s the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:

1. Get Epic to support Linux
2. Crack the anti-cheat.

Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .

I’m pretty sure it has been proved that the weapons supplied by the US dismisses the importance of Putin.

Essentially it only moves the borders of the partitions and “repairs” the filesystem inside each affected partition.

If there is data in an area inside the partion you are manipulating gparted has to move the data to an area inside the partition that is unaffected or move it to the new parts of the partition. This can take a long time even if modern PCs easily move 100MB/s

Also, even if gparted is mature software and the devs probably have implemented a lot of security measures you should always backup your data before manipulating the partitions. Especially when you’re playing around with filesystems that aren’t native like NTFS or more complicated filesystems like ZFS. I know people often nag about this but trust me… Blow 2TB of your data and you really really regret not spending 10 minutes backing up the essentials.

I’ve been using gparted for as long as I can remember and only once or twice has it caused dats loss. Since I’m very old school (started playing with PCs when 386DX 16MHz was fairly hot and RLL disks were a thing) and nerdy I was able to use data rescue software that looked for filesystems over the whole disk and guessed where partition borders should be.

Avoid this type of anxiety by backing up all data or at least backing up the data you can’t live without.

Also, if you have a spare disk, it’s faster and much safer to partition the spare one and just clone each partition. Sometimes it’s even faster to clone the disk this way and then clone it back.

I’d rather have to open up stuff my self then have an uninvited visitor doing it without me knowing about it.

Yeah… Russians are known for their ability to reverse engineer and circumvent protections of all sorts… For good and bad…

I’m pretty sure it won’t take long before there are easy ways to circumvent whatever VPN blocking Putin invests in…

So it’s time for our EU politicians to step up then…

Hey, US, where are you in this? We need you guys to get on board with the right to privacy…

W2k was awesome. Great stability. However, the legacy from Windows NT meant that applications had no direct access to hardware which games of that time required.

That was a showstopper for most users outside the enterprise world.

Windows does that automatically when switching from Linux to Windows… 😁

It’s a well known fact that every second major release of Windows is crap.

• Windows 95 was not the best.
• Windows 95OSR2 was the one you wanted.
• Windows 98 sucked.
• Windows 98 2nd ed. worked as the former should have.
• Windows 2000 was great but had no support for running games.
• XP solved that and made people leave Windows 98 (I deliberately left out the clusterf… Windows ME.).
• Windows Vista sucked balls.
• Windows 7 was what Vista should have been.
• Windows 8? Metro on phones, yes! On desktop? No no no.
• Windows 10 got Microsoft back on track again.

I thought the new upgrade scheme (2 editions per year) Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 would be like “every second release will suck” but it started to look like Microsoft were able to break the curse…

…and then Windows 11 happened.

We do but Illuminati made sure it’s only available to about 1% of the population…

Oh… More unsubstantiated claims from you… Well … have a nice Friday evening.

I just love how you end with “I have zero reason to listen to you” when no one has claimed such a thing and you were the one choosing to do the listening.

All of this because of me pointing out that WHO still claims that there is a daily amount of aspartame that is safe to consume and that the only thing you can prove is that something is unsafe and not the other way around.

By the way… If you think we should avoid aspartame because there is a suspicion that it might cause cancer I can imagine what you think about sugar, animal fat and protein which there is actual proof that it can cause everything from heart disease to cancer.

You use a (heavily questioned) statement of an organization as a base for your claims when the organization explicitly doesn’t support your conclusion. It’s a fact that WHO still claims there is no dangers consuming the recommended daily amount.

The method used on rats to estimate the dangers is the method used when estimating dangers every other substances. So the argument is valid as long as you claim that every other substance cause cancer.

Then you end up nibbling on edges of the classic “the great aspartame conspiracy” but what you totally miss that “big sugar” is even more powerfull…

The statement you think is supporting your belief is actually saying the opposite. WHO specifically does not claim that aspartame cause cancer.

However, what they did state is there was no reason to change the recommended acceptable daily intake level of 40 mg per kg of body weight per day .

Also, The FDA disagrees with IARC’s (what you refer to as WHO) conclusion that these studies support classifying aspartame as a possible carcinogen to humans. FDA scientists reviewed the scientific information included in IARC’s review in 2021 when it was first made available and identified significant shortcomings in the studies on which IARC relied. FDA also pointed out that JECF (also WHO) did not raise safety concerns for aspartame under the current levels of use and did not change the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI).

So yeah… Just believing journalists trying to click bait you is probably more likely to give you cancer than following the recommendation from WHO regarding daily intake of aspartame.

Your reasoning is on level with religious people claiming that atheists have to prove that god doesn’t exist.

How do you prove that you are not a murderer?

“Hi, I’m calling about your recent interest in furry related content. We at Furry Fetish inc recently mailed you a catalogue of our products… Oh…you haven’t recieved it yet? Well, no worries. It was sent to 324 North Street…oh… You live on 325 North Street? No worries, your name is printed in large so whoever received it knows that is was for you and will probably deliver it to you…”

In Sweden, where I live, the equivalent of FDA (I guess) says that firm cheese is fine too eat as long as you cut off 2 cm from the moldy part.

Unfortunately this is coming and a majority of people are going to happily step on to the train.

Think of it like this: 99% of all apps could have been just web apps in a mobile browser (Hell, a majority essentially are just a wrapped web app) but because of companies offering more/better functionality people choose to use the app.

All that needs to happen is sites starting require DRM functionality for “security reasons” so that the end user can enjoy more features.

A majority of end users don’t understand the implications when making choices like these.
