  • I forsee a requirement that only "approved" OS are allowed to connect to mobile networks, citing security issues.

  • Can you give an example? I'm assuming we're looking for something that works on Linux using Steam or some other store, but not using GOG - either directly or through lutris/proton. That might clear up what's being asked.

  • What do you mean by "no features"? I use GOG to buy games, that's it. What other features does a game shop need? Serious question.

  • Next step would be requiring UK ISPs to block traffic to the VPNs. They've already made it so you can't go to some sites based on DNS lookups, so there's precedent. Making it by IP address from a continuously-updated list would make it exceedingly difficult for regular users to access a public VPN, and while making one yourself from a VPS is straightforward, it can get expensive very quickly if you want to watch videos or download lots of stuff through it.

  • I gave up on Stray. It's good, except for the stupid action parts which are completely different to the other 90% of the gameplay and frustratingly difficult. I got through the first few, but one level just stumped me. Must have tried a hundred times, but I'm just not that kind of player and it ruined it - I can't progress past that point in the game, and all the internet has to say is "git gud".

  • When I'm using sponsorblock, I sometimes just stop watching if I see a long sponsor section, regardless. If the poster has like 20% of their video used to talk about shilling something, then they're probably not someone I trust.

  • Nothing happens anywhere in that game. It's a walking simulator without the fun parts.

  • I never finished it because it kept crashing like 90% of the way through. Now I know, I guess.

  • Storage and processors don't last forever. As parts break down, you won't be able to replace them. Need a new hard drive? Sorry, it'll only talk to motherboards that shake its hand.

  • These look hilariously awful but I appreciate the idea. Good for gog.

  • As a UKian, this is unfortunately true. No matter how many of us want to just cut off the US completely, the government will always capitulate.

  • Yeah, I just had to search for this because I thought, I missed that too!

  • Isn't that the Pacific ocean?

  • Sure.

    But someone offered it $100 for a six pack of Bru and it declined, and they're taking this as a hilarious failure, because a real human would be a real scumbag and take the cash pretending it was the right amount. So it's not capitalist-level evil yet.

  • I would imagine they've at least talked about trying get people to enter credit card details. I know that's been pushed before, as early as the 2000s, for age verification on some sites. Obviously it's terrible for privacy, data breaches and flat-out fake sites just harvesting card numbers or taking all your cash at point of verification.

    git() {
      if [ "$1" = "cd" ]; then
        shift
        cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*"
      else
        command git "$@"
      fi
    }
    
      

    This lets you run git cd to go to the root of your repo, or git cd foo/bar to go to a path relative to that root. You can't do it as an alias because it's conditional, and you can't do it as a git-cd command because that wouldn't affect the current shell.

  • I pay money to ride on the bus and still see ads there.

  • "Premium lite"? What is this doublespeak?

  • Replace "nobody" with "nobody who contributes to society; nobody I gave a shit about in the first place" and you're on track.
