Very accurate comment, and to expand on this, things like media codecs, windows dependencies, etc also cause problems. Luckily Proton can play just about any game on Steam.

For example, Marvel Rivals is a new game that just came out and its anti-cheat works with Linux. I play it with ProtonGE, which installs extra codecs that regular proton versions don’t include and it works awesome.

Would you recommend this to someone interested?

Love that song

Have you checked out Protondb.com ?

It’s been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it’s usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don’t run.

In what way does capitalism “dampen” selfishness?

Just get a PC? Parts prices are low right now and they are far more useful than a console that has a “planned expiration” every 5-10 years.

But it’s also hard to know what contemporary economists are arguing without reading those foundational writers

I’ll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:

I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court’s decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive’s Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.

One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a “Donate Now” button does not indicate “commercial use” for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)

There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it’s implications.

Such a great game regardless! Romulus took some cues from the game and it definitely shows.

Or giant megacorporations each hire 200,000+ of them to create products for the non-magic folk to consume.

After a few decades, the idea of being a wizard is synonymous with working 8+ hours a day on magic that no wizard really wants and there is so little new spells and magic being created in the world that everyone wishes there wasn’t any.

Then leaks come out that the products these megacorporations create have been slowly killing the planet and they’ve known for decades. But since they have so much power and money, nothing can stop them until the world dies.

Finding a good MusicBee alternative on linux. I just dual boot into windows whenever I need to convert FLACs and organize it. Otherwise I’m on Linux 99% of the time now.

FLAC is best if space is no concern. But when your collection starts getting very big, there are better options like AAC (which I use). It’s a lot less space than FLAC and mp3, and higher quality than mp3 as well.

I’m on the fence between Harris or to abstain. My opinion is that the Democrats are not listening to the people, and by holding hands with the international criminals in Israel, they are alienating progressives massively (no doubt her VP pick is an attempt to win them over). 76 years of pro-Israel policy, and what has it done?

When it comes to economy, Harris is a neoliberal, and rather conservative economically, which I disagree with.

Right, because manhole covers were the biggest issue…

A few times when I download more than an album from someone,I send them a quick “thanks for the albums!”

Before I download from someone, I always check their user info too

What are they smoking at OpenAI? Can I get some?

Soulseek!! It’s awesome

Take a community college introduction course.

It’s only partially good to read the big texts, but it is useless if you don’t know how to understand them in broader connections.

1. P2p isn’t a must, especially after mullvad fiasco.

2. Look into Sonarr, Radarr, and jackett. Seriously, after months of being too lazy to set it up, I caved and am never going back. If you just want to stream torrents download stremio with the torrentio plugin.

3. Qbittorrent.
