They are currently installed locally, and I even played at least one while the internet was down.

I would switch to Linux in a heartbeat if it ran all the programs I use. And yes, I know about wine, but it’s still not all there yet. Thankfully there are more and more programs I use that now run natively in Linux, so I still have hope.

I pretty much like Epic. I’ve gotten tons of free quality games for free that don’t have micropayment or tons of ads. Sure they might not be the newest version of the game, but there is something to be said about playing a game free from ads and not feeling like a second class citizen for not spending more on a “free” game than most people spend on rent and groceries combined.

That’s something we all have to remember. We have to be just as vocal as these idiots or they take over. They are not the majority, they are only the most vocal.

A wise someone once said that if you can’t own anything, you can’t pirate anything.

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Stuff like this is the strongest argument for a decentralized payment option. Hopefully some day crypto will not be so much a tool of monetary speculation and we can use it for that without having to have the same experience as the guy who bought a pizza with Bitcoin.

What kills me is in most cases you have to pay for the game, then you have to download the game, then install it and finally play it. It’s not.like the game is going to one day pop into your computer and then force you to play it.

Bottom line. If the game bothers ornoffends you just move on.

I think the Nvidia should get a life.i also agree 100%, if you are working every second of your waking hours then you are far from being efficient.

I used to love Mabinogi. It’s a bit different then most MMORPGs but it had some real cool features. My favorite is any character could learn any skill in the game. It also has a coherent story with some surprising plot twists. On to of that, you character ages and will even get fat if they eat too much. Haven’t played it in years, as well as any MMORPG for that matter, but this is one of the ones I have the fondest memories of.

Now you got me nostalgic for pre-internet days of BBSs and local chat boards. I used to belong to one where we would meet once a month in a Cafe. It was almost like a secret society where you knew everyone.

All I have to say is I hope this catches on with other browsers.

While I am no fan of Reagan, I believe this administration is lightyears worse. At least Reagan followed some rules.

What most of these people don’t get is if they didn’t get so invasive with those ads, people would not have to resort to ad blockers. Be it tho shut up the ads every few seconds on YouTube or having to play whack-a-mole every time I read an article, eventually you run out of patience and say “enough!”

It’s going to a rough world without coffee and chocolate too.

Trump is about to find out how wonderfully petty Brazil can be. Elon Musk found out earlier. They are also the 9th largest economy in the world, 5th largest country, the world leader in alternative fuels, and leader on the global south in food security. Also thanks to new agreements with China and EU they really need the US.

They also are the largest producers of sugar, beef, coffee and chocolate.

That has changed with the systematic dismantling of our education system and the push against critical thinking that started in the Reagan Era. Nowadays people are for the most part, too darn stupid to hold these people accountable.

It’s not just Delta. What we really need is tougher regulations to prevent this. Of course there is a snowballs chance in hell this will happen in this administration.

I don’t see how open-source can be authoritarian. I mess with generative AI as a hobby, mainly image creation. While closed source models like Runway and Klink are impressive open-source ones like Wan2.1 are just so much more flexible. Mostly thanks to Loras and controlnets developed by hobbyists or 3rd parties. Not only that, but the fact you can generate locally till little hearts content for free is so much more enjoyable then getting nickel and dimed by some AI company.

I also saw a video where the players were complaining that he would not leave the stage so they could celebrate. It took some doing to push him to the back.
