I was trying to figure out what an Uninterrupted Power Supply Graphical Processing Unit was.

China has been seen as the poster boy for government surveillance since the 90s at the very least by Western propaganda.

Fixed that for you.

A very easy solution would be for Steam to transition to the GOG approach optionally: Preserve games without any sort of DRM or online-only feature. Releases past a set amount of time could drop DRM (they already have this option AFAIK) and they would also need to have a sort of non-steam-services connected variant.

Combine this with completely FOSS SteamOS/Steam Client, and Valve would do everything right.

RO was godlike. And so was Eve Online. I wish more games favoured an open ended game play formula.

I’m completely sucked in by Project Zomboid at the moment. If it had better Multiplayer, with easier to find servers, more comprehensive mod handling and a refined netcode, it’d be the GOAT.

I grew up in Hungary and Germany, and lived most of my early adulthood in Hungary. Later in life I moved to Québec, where I reside now.

In Germany, I had English starting grade five.

In Hungary, Russian was mandatory until 1989. After '89 it was elective between Russian, German, English or, in some schools, French. I opted for German starting grade 6 at a German ethnicity school, but felt like it was a mistake, since I was already native level, but the (non-native) teachers kept trying to one-up me in their broken knowledge of the language. Starting grade eight I’ve transferred to a school that had Russian only, but since I had no prior knowledge of it, but already spoke German and English, I was exempted from it. In high school I’ve opted for English.

My kids go to French language schools in Montréal and have English as a foreign language. We speak English at home. Almost ten years in and I still don’t speak French. My kids don’t speak either Hungarian or German.

Just like the other Canadian poster’s daughter in this thread stated, my wife learned near native level French, even as a non-Québecois, simply on the premise of Canada supposedly being a bilingual country. This seems to hold a lot of truth in Ontario, Montréal and New Brunswick, but outside of these provinces and cities, it seems to be much more mono-lingual in practice. Montréal is truly wild though. People very often speak three or more languages here.

Sadly, AMD is in Israel as well, although to a lesser degree.

The phrase is “two sides of the same coin”. Meaning exactly what you are saying. That they are both the capitalist party. As opposed to another proverbial coin, that of the socialists, anarchists, Monarchist, etc.

You mean the two faces of the same fucking coin.

Which is labeled Justice.

Import fees maybe? Tariffs on products from the US?

To play with a kid? Untitled Goose Game, Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time, River City Girls.

Voyager is donations only. I donate to it every time a thread like this comes up in the wild.

I couldn’t get either Lutris or Bottles working, and then I’ve also tried Heroic but to no avail. I ended up adding the game as a custom title to Steam and running it with Proton from there worked somehow.

But all of these launchers do the same more or less, so I’m sure it this was more akin to “fourth times the charm” than the other launchers being flawed.

Huh? I’ve flown and booked hotels recently and you absolutely do not need a smart phone for that.

The linked bsky thread is by GOS, citing /e/.

Depends on the continent you reside on.

Is this with DLSS5 on?

iPhone is dominant in NA.

Weird, I actually liked the Vicious/Julia story line. And the actors are top notch. Massive Javier Bardem vibes for Vicious.

Communauto and it’s competitors are going strong in Montreal.
