Currently at bronze which means it at least starts up, but that’s about it.

I still recommend GIMP 3.0 as it has made huge changes that vastly improved user workflow, such as non-destructive editing, multi-layer selection, lower clicks required for each action, etc. It feels much more modern now and non-developer user friendly.

Or you get a windows VM and run your favorite program in that. It works but has a slight performance decrease. You can disable internet access on the VM to prevent telemetry and spyware.

A laptop running linux mint.

On a slightly brighter note, It will no doubt bring more attention to fingerprinting which in turn will speed up fingerprint obfuscation development and fingerprinting regulation. It will also add more people to the obfuscated user pool. Right now you are essentially helpless against fingerprinting because so few use obfuscation that you out yourself by using it, so google implementing fingerprinting might actually help people already using obfuscation. Non-JavaScript sites will also rise in demand and a debloating will occur.

Not yet. Had to manually download.

It doesn’t look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.

Yes, finally! I’ve been using the mobile app, and it has been nothing but amazing.

It probably does with detachable controllers.

That depends entirely on the currency.

Ethereum l2 has way lower (less than a tenth) transaction fees than credit cards and barely has an impact at all on the environment because there is no mining.

And cryptocurrencies do have consumer protection services but no one ever uses them.

More importantly, however, Visa and mastercard collude and boycott japanese anime and manga websites because they think anime and manga promote gender stereotypes, so credit cards can fuck right off.

I mean, is he wrong then? I also think monero is crucial, especially after visa and master card started boycotting Japanese anime and manga sites, claiming they promote negative female stereotypes.

Wear a facemask. Airports and planes are high risk infection zones.

Kill two birds with one stone.

They’re free to get off steam if they want. While they’re at it, they can get off the industry as a whole.

They should donate or sell chrome to the Linux Foundation.

This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.

Maybe he would prefer perforce.

Surely we all write unit tests and debug from there, right?

… Right?

I’ll have to make 3 major points here.

1:

I’m against DEI because it fundamentally goes against my core belief that everyone deserves the same opportunity. That we have equality. As long as we have equality, inclusion comes naturally. Diversity doesn’t necessarily, because gender and culture influences preferences, so groups will naturally flow towards certain professions and there is nothing wrong with that. The idea that there is a patriarchy gatekeeping professions is a conspiracy theory with no evidence.

DEI are corporate goals made so they can collect government funds and get tax breaks. Do you think these corpos give two shits about you? Equity is fundamentally discriminatory and labelling people based on their skincolor, gender, sexuality, and I’m very much against discrimination and this stereotyping mindset.

If I had the power to do so, I would enforce a blind equality policy that forbids corporations from asking or looking up the ethnicity, gender and sexuality of their candidates for jobs, and I would implement a central job hunting system where you take interviews and fill application without revealing anything about yourself that could be used to discriminate against you. A pure skill and vide testing system. That is equality. That is fair.

Now about why DEI in games is considered bad. It really isn’t. But being preachy and focusing on it over the quality of the game itself ruins the fun. No one wants to be lectured about trans rights and feminism when they’re playing games. no one wants political agendas shoved down their throats, and that’s what the DEI detected group looks for.

Sure, there are some members going on some unhinged rant about how this one character is female, therefore game bad. As I said, there are hateful people in these groups too, but it’s not the core message. It’s the talking down to players, and presenting a one-dimensional ultimate truth or be racist kind of mentality that pisses people off.

BG3 has a diverse and inclusive story, but it isn’t DEI or woke, because it doesn’t preach it like the Bible at the expense of gameplay and writing quality like what the veilguard and Concord did.

3:

Finally about freedom of speech. Only someone who has never had their freedom of speech taken away would be against freedom of speech. Of course freedom of speech is fundamental. Of course there is no question whatsoever that we should have it, and of course freedom of speech will allow clashing ideals, that’s the point.

You cannot have an entity decide what the absolute truth is and label everyone against it a fascist or Nazi or sexist. That is what radicalizes the left and right. Twitter before Elon bought it radicalized the right, not X. X is the result of the radicalized right.

You think free speech brought Trump? Censorship brought Trump. The one-dimensional “my way or you’re a Nazi” camp brought Trump, and the radicalized right grew larger by being silenced. Now that they’ve grown so big that you no longer can silence them, Trump wins, and we will need free speech to defeat the far right.

I’m not far-right, I’m a social Democrat who grew up in Sweden. We are essentially on the same side but with different ideas on how to get to the same goal. Censorship ain’t it, fact-checking and calling out misinformation is. Steam doesn’t need moderation as much as it needs something like community notes, and the internet is in dire need of a platform that allowes users to easily call out misinformation and reward people who do, but for that we also need a platform that has all the facts and can link facts to arguments and help users come to a logical conclusion, and then we need a browser plugin that can reference these facts and warn users when misinformation is found. That is how you defeat the far right.

Because both the Palestinian communities and anti-DEI communities have legitimate core messages, and both have members that spread hate.

If you’re willing to let any community get taken down despite them breaking no rules or laws, accept that it also can happen to the communities you support. It is as simple as that.

Where did you go for it to be associated with terrible people? It is one of the most used twitch emojis.

Pepe the frog and swastikas are the most common extremist symbols found on Steam, according to the report, respectively representing 54.6% and 9.1% of detected symbols.

So more than half of the “extremist” symbols are a meme that a tiny fraction of conspiracy theorists think is a dogwhistle for racism.

Game mods are also touched on in the report, which claims to have found hundreds of mods for games, most notably Garry’s Mod, “that specifically reference mass shootings.”

Who even thinks this is a big deal? This screams boomers being upset about violent video games all over again.

Are you sure they’re not just pissy about the DEI Detected community and want to force steam to shut it down?

Facing worlds.

I still listen to the unreal and unreal tournament soundtracks to this day.
