actually, yes. you test solutions „manually“ on servers and then roll them out with ansible across the whole infrastructure, neatly kept and carefully maintained in your local git instance. like raking a zen garden sometimes

maybe RFK(wasnt he behind all this nonsense?) is a secret militant vegan who wants to discourage people from drinking animal milk by making it harmful to humans(/s just in case)

and forgot or ignored that it often is not the dev who gets most of the money at all but publishers like ea and ubisoft. why should customers act in defense of those companies who actively try and make gaming worse for everyone?

an indie dev paying 30% is expensive but steam is really a premium platform for distributing games. it would be nice if it were cheaper but I don‘t really understand the outrage here

i dont know what you are using but the general linux experience hasn't been like this in years. and even if there is a problem now and then a bit of googling generally is all it needs. the one thing you cannot get around is malware like kernel level anticheats. that's windows only.

having a backup is good advice no matter what system you use

the homm3hd and hota mod keeps it alive

technically nothing but it serves as a privacy respecting alternative to meta/google controlled messengers.

things like mastodon and pixelfed are rather easy to wrap your head around and replace their big tech counterparts with if you are the average user.

there is no real replacement for an instant messaging/sms like experience. matrix is at the moment still a bit too complicated to get into if you have come to expect a workflow like: download an app -> write your phone contacts a message.

so although it is not federated it is the best we have got at the moment in my opinion

a wild guess: try setting LD_PRELOAD="" %command% Im on mobile and cannot look things up properly but that fixed some weird behaviour for me

i wanted to move my google stuff to Proton this year as a Backup for my self hosted stuff. Shame, seems like I need to put a little more time into managing my self hosted stuff

i wouldn't generally say not ready for newbies. It depends on your hardware and your individual way of doing things.

you cannot just expect that year or decade long windows habits translate seamlessly to Linux. so there will be a bit of a wall to climb for most people and many failed attempts. that is ok. just try again if you feel like it and you will arrive eventually with a hell of a new computer related problem solving skillset you automatically pick up along the way

sounds interesting. do you have the name of the tool or is it a custom script
