- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans 2 days ago:
I see! My metaphor was mainly meant to illustrate that whether anticheat is directly related to the current security issue is orthogonal to why I thought it was relevant to bring up. I could have picked a better one that didn’t imply that their misplaced concern about Linux cheaters actually consumes resources.
Maybe a better metaphor would be a municipality refusing to do something about a small issue (maybe poor transit to a specific neighborhood) and also actively refusing to let that neighborhood solve the problem themselves (proton devs) with the excuse that allowing that neighborhood to have transit would cost too much (even if the neighborhood were to do it themselves) and cause more crime (painting Linux users as hackers) all the while some completely unrelated group is actually causing the crime elsewhere.

I’m assuming this is a good faith question and that you’re not just just trying to play word games: they’re focused on scapegoating Linux by refusing to support it and blaming it for supposedly being a security nightmare. I’m pointing out that this is misplaced obviously because they have bigger concerns, as evidenced by the article.

It’s both a form of security, and my point is that they’re focusing on the wrong area.

Thank goodness they refused to support Proton/Linux then because, and this is a direct quote from their ticket tracker: “Linux is an open door for cheaters” 🙄

I hate when I try to load up an old game in my library only to find out that I need to log in to another launcher to which I’ve forgotten my password to.

Now imagine having a calculator with symbolic math support and the ability to solve derivatives and integrals with unknown variables. And I took that shit into the SAT because the TI Inspire CX CAS was allowed. (Apparently that changed just this year holy moly)

A while ago I got tired of tracks going missing from my playlists because of stuff being removed from Spotify so I started buying everything on Bandcamp and then playing it from my jellyfin using finamp.

If you want it to taste as close to identical as possible, you can usually find name brand bag in box syrups if you search around. So I guess in theory you should be able to get the same taste as real fountain soda. Idk how that compares to bottled though. I had a box of dr pepper syrup which made great tasting dr pepper.

I don’t think YouTube actually has tracking parameters in the url normally, but if you use the share button then the youtu.be link will include the video ID as well tracking. But it looks like you can kinda use it there too if you select the link with tracking, it seems to detect that it’s a link and offers the clean link option when you right click it.
If you go to an Amazon item page then you should see it available when right clicking the address bar.

ClearURLs was my go to on Firefox, I think it’s still great but it gave me trouble on a couple of sites because it modified the url in the address bar (it was like AliExpress and shopee, Chinese e-commerce sites that look like a web dev vomited, so I hardly blame ClearURLs)
Firefox also now has “copy clean link” when you right click the url bar which also works great.

Imo it’s not enough of gap to be a big deal, there are much worse age gaps, especially when you’re talking about only people above 21. I’ve often dated older and when I was in my early 20s I would go on the occasional date with someone around 30 and the biggest reaction I got from friends or people around me was light teasing, but most didn’t really care. Now that I’m 30 I don’t feel that uncomfortable dating down to around 25, but I also look young and don’t feel like I’ve matured that much since my 20s.
I don’t think most people would care at the end of the day, I feel like it only becomes weird when you’re like in your 40s dating down to 20 something.

- Comment on What's the REAL minimum power supply needed for a RTX 5060 Ti? 5 months ago:
As a point of reference, I have a 5070 ti oc (300W tdp, suggested PSU 700W according to techpowerup) with a ryzen 7 7700 (65W tdp) and I use a Silverstone SFX 700 W 80+ platinum and it works great. I’ve monitored the GPU wattage and it generally doesn’t go above 200ish in practical usage.

- Comment on "I made the PC I couldn't buy" 6 months ago:
I haven’t watched the full thing, but he picked a 3060 TI, I used a 3070 FE for years and it worked just fine for steamvr with my index for beatsaber, Gorn, surgeon simulator, super hot, mini golf, and lots of other games. Both are above the minimum recommended specs for VR so as long as you don’t mind adjusting some settings here and there as needed I’m sure it’ll do fine.
- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 6 months ago:
I’ve been enjoying using musicbrainz/listenbrains which uses your listening data to make periodic recommendation playlists similar to spotify’s discover weekly or whatever.

Karma doesn’t matter, votes do since it allows boosting or limiting post reach, so vote manipulation for the purposes of stuff like astroturfing is still a concern unless we want to kill every sorting option besides New.
- Comment on Plex is rolling out its big app redesign 9 months ago:
Wow, this can only be a disaster. People on the Plex experience preview forum are pissed. The android build hasn’t been updated in a month, I didn’t think it would be rolled out for another 3-6 months.
So many features are missing, the only way to remove Plex rentals/free is by going into your account settings, performance is shit even just scrolling your media.
