Denuvo, hearing that the music isn’t as good, the performance issues, and crashes have all but killed my hype for the game. I might still cave in and buy it, but I probably should just support a better company instead.

Right? In the past we got software for free when we let companies use our data. Now they want to take our money too.

As far as I can tell, Doom the Dark Ages has it, and many reviews are quite good. I don’t know if they’re good enough to convince me to install it though. Maybe I’ll wait until they remove it months or years later.

You could also be a radiologist.

What we really need is to improve the technical literacy (and overall education too) of the general public. That will help towards solving many other issues as well.

By all means, Linux’s UX should be improved as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of freedom or functionality, but we need to improve as people too.

I think it should be encouraged for non technical users to share their insights regarding UI/UX. People who are skilled in building applications often don’t have great skills in that area anyway. Actual UI/UX specialists are even harder to come by it seems.

The issue with this video is that it doesn’t bring in a ton of new insight. Issues regarding the variety of package management solutions are well know for example, and some distros are already solving this by having system packages and flatpaks managed by the same installer.

Not being transparent about a potential security issue is not the same as outputting low quality work though. If a piece of FOSS lacks some quality or features that I’d really like it is a little annoying, but understandable and not a big deal. If I hear that there are binary blobs that no one can reproduce or conclusively explain, and the devs are silent, I won’t assume the best intentions regardless of where they are from.

I thought hoodoo was a rock formation.

It just depends on who you’re talking to. They have a propaganda machine here, and even intelligent people can be tricked under the right circumstances.

O’Brien, transport all of our ship’s sewage to their bridge.

I remember someone pointed out that GIMP probably would never get adopted in a company or professional environment just because of the name. Imagine suggesting that someone should use “GIMP” in a work meeting, lol. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s a funny limitation that they put on the software.

I always assumed schools had at least one or two IT people who just are spread really thin or something. Never occurred to me that an organization would just have PCs with no admin, but it sounds plausible. I guess the instructors just have to fix things if they run into issues.

It does indirectly support the cosmetic market, from which Valve still makes money I think. It’s kind of unfortunate that people work for free to support their income, but it’s not worse than the game dying entirely, probably.

Are you now the IT support guy for these workstations, or is the school’s IT going to take over maintenance. I guess you have an internship or something if you are.

Your operating system Ubuntu, is not supported.

Click here to upgrade to Arch, btw.

It’s not about the package management method that we use. It’s about the friends and enemies we made along the way (while arguing about package management.)

I feel lucky that I never got into his content. I heard so much about him as a kid, and I only recently started hearing about the Nazi stuff.

I guess you just need to document and escalate anything objectively wrong that they do. If it’s a one party consent state maybe you can record it, but I never experimented with that.

If HR can’t help you with any legitimate problems that a clique is causing, you’re probably right about the best option just being walking away. There’s nothing inherently wrong with cliques if it just refers to a group of friends.

Somewhere there probably is a graphic designer or city planner who can use this story, lol. Billboards and these huge signs are distracting things to have on the road.

You asked, so I just felt like chiming in, lol. Ultimately it’s up to you if you want to buy it. You’ll get to play it for a few years at least, I imagine. It depends on how long EA decides to support it. This is going to be a live service game too, so the quality of the game is going to depend on the management at EA. It could be good at first but get worse like Overwatch. It could be bad at launch and get much better with time. You never know.
