Good guy GOG wants you to actually own your own games, forever.

I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.

Agreed. Apple provides a free service locked to their hardware. It shouldn’t be surprising that they patched the vulnerabilities and blocked accounts.

Windows has WSL which is nice, however MacOS is Darwin and at least *NIX like.

It’s Linux then all *nix and then Windows at the very bottom.

Your chosen GNU/Linux distribution installs the applications.

Lutris is great, I use it myself.

However, if you have a friend fresh from Windows who already uses steam and you say, tick compatible proton 8 or latest and click play vs install new software and then add the game you’ve already lost the easy battle.

Not true, steam makes it incredibly easy. Install steam, tick compatibility option, install, click green play button.

What bad do they do?

What’s the best way to get it?

The Server Name Identification (SNI) standard means that the hostname may not be encrypted if you’re using TLS. Also, whether you’re using SNI or not, the TCP and IP headers are never encrypted. (If they were, your packets would not be routable.)

I think this is the best solution. rclone also has built in crypt too.

Edit: built in crypt if you configure it for use

My understanding is federating with busy instances increases the resources used by that lemmy server. So it’s makes sense to me that an admin blocks whatever they like. This isn’t a paid service, admins are funding this themselves or via very limited donations.

Shorten is the legitimate good guy in this saga, he started fighting this in opposition and has been against it from the start.

My point has always been that as human beings we should demand more of our government and more from our society. We should be striving for a society where one person in a household working is enough to own a home and bring up children if they choose.

We have a limited number of years on this planet and working harder for longer, and having our parents working harder for longer doesn’t seem like an optimal way to spent them.

Yeah the idea is aspirational, I argue we need to be. The focus should be on improving our quality of life and not on more ways to enable more of our family members to work more and see each other less just so we can raise the average house value to 2 million.

So now you’re attempting to strawman this into a gender issue and people not being allowed to work?

One income per household should be enough. We didn’t get a good deal on dual income. Things are arguably harder now for the middle class.

I’ve no interest in the genders or sexual preferences of households, just that it is financially viable for only one of them to work. This is no longer the case, and trying to sell it as equality is believing the lie.

Dual income households are only essential as incomes haven’t kept pace with the increase to living costs. The working class were conned into it being the new normal.

You’ve taken it a step further by saying that even grandparents are working longer which reduces babysitting options.

Yet at no point have you identified you’ve been hoodwinked. You just want to keep pressing forward, working harder for longer with free childcare. Worse still you don’t seem to understand that it is a fall as we are all worse off because of it.

It’s interesting to me that you point out how far we have fallen as a society, yet your suggested solution is free childcare to enable more of the same.

As humans shouldn’t we be asking harder questions? Why is our entire family structure working longer and harder for less?

The change we need is single income households being viable again and our elderly being in a position to retire.

It’s rare for inflation to be tamed without a recession, so we will wait and see. Setting the goal at 2 - 3% by 2025 hurts everyone as inflation stays above the range longer.

Moving hard to bring it down sooner hurts a few who borrowed too much for a place they can’t afford, yet helps everyone else as lower inflation benefits all of us. The RBA is playing it too safe imo and hoping for this narrow path which seems unlikely.

A temperature system would be good for aged content. Content that isn’t considered hot is dropped from federated instances and only lives on the parent.

If some old thread goes viral years later it is hot again and refederated until it cools. Old content would be replaced with a link back to original instance.

Edit: Drop temp to be server side config as some instances may want to be archives

With the quality of vehicles produced in Germany you’d have to mad to buy an American Ford F anything.
