security parity is a password manager + 2fa generated on-device

This experience works perfectly for me. I have no need of whatever junk the latest consortium of megacorps has come up with.

🤷‍♂️

Your acquaintance sounds like a cool person.

“What kinds of stuff are you into?” is probably the question you wanted to ask instead of asking about pirating random content.

Fuuuuuuuck these dynastic pieces of shit.

When it is so easy to replace characters in strings for a computer, why would this help?

I am open to being educated, but this seems like old wives tale stuff about how to keep the AI demons away.

All of human history exists because we solved scarcity.

The past 12,000 years has been trying to convince the hoarding assholes to stop making life shitty for everyone else.

You shouldn’t just be mad, you should feel the injustice of it all in your ancestral bones.

I’m in my late 30s now, and my body feels better than in my early 20s, as I had stopped working out during that time. Also ended up getting diagnosed for adhd in my mid 40s and just this year had vyvanse prescribed which has proved a huge help.

How old are you? What is this? I worry I am engaging with an AI here or something.

Sure, just know that this feedback is coming from people who have probably walked the same path and are trying to save you some pain. Best of luck, but I have found people like that are not engaging in good faith.

These people think YOU should be in a gas chamber. Fucking wild that these people think they’re better than everyone. Wild.

What do you do?

This just keeps happening until we decide our governments work for us and not for corporations.

Don’t ever listen to a busiessperson or a politician.

WHAT DO I DO FIRST?

Seems to me the difference between ethical and unethical marketing is the difference between trying to inform vs. influence your potential customer.

Products need a way to find customers, and customers need a way to find products - this is the problem marketing should be solving. Instead I see businesses hiring people trying everything but just informing customers.

A vote for never looking back 👍

Alternate take: what we are seeing now is what happens when you let “influencers” run things.

This was my first thought. Just zero code review going on? Some random server only that dude knew about? tf kind of controls these people have in place?

Oh right, none of the shit the company should have had.

Instead of jail time, the government should consider giving this guy whistleblower status and investigating the corp for negligence.

Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of overlap with you. (I do own Star Citizen from the initial kickstarter, but haven’t tried it on Linux. There IS a Bottles setup for it that says it works well, but I have no experience to share.)

Phasmophobia I thought I played on Linux a bunch, but the game itself was just terribly buggy. Could be that was Linux, but I could swear my friends on Windows were having similar problems. (One reason we don’t play this anymore.)

The rest I haven’t tried, so can’t help. It feels like either you game quite a bit more broadly than I do, or you got really unlucky. Here’s a quick list of my recently played games with no hiccups - maybe the issue is indy titles tend to work better?

Vampire Survivors Schedule I Kingdoms Reborn PULSAR: Lost Colony Mindustry Star Trek: Resurgence Tales and Tactics Powerwash Simulator Motor Town The Headliners Ale & Tale Tavern Space Engineers …

No problems. Didn’t really have to think about anything with any of these.

You haven’t told me any of the games you’re trying to get to work.

If they have kernel anti-cheat, anti-Linux checking, etc then you’re going to have bad luck and may want to consider a VM and GPU passthrough.

With the vast majority of games I have tried on Linux, things Just Work out of the box.

I mean, usually you can think about your own process as a black box as long as you can take in whatever format they give and output whatever format they need.

You have to make your own decisions, of course. I just want to say: it’s not impossible.
