Wonder how it’s actually going to be enforced. Judging from the article, it’ll all be up to the tech companies themselves which historically didn’t turn out to be that effective (examples: age fields on services like Discord and Gmail and porn).
The only effective way I can think of is having to send a picture of your ID but that’s hella invasive
To be fair, steam forums are a hot pile of garbage so the senator is correct in pointing that out at the very least
There’s torrminator for once, it has a section for linux cracks specifically. There’s also a large collection on the internet archive of native linux games that you’d have to find for yourself (to keep in line with the rules), but it shouldn’t be too difficult.
I personally use bottles via flatpak and flatseal to make the games not connect to the internet when it’s not needed just in case.
If you want native linux games, there are sites for that.
The Sopranos intro, hands down
Don’t think it will get unlisted, as the lawsuit only relates to spiritual successors of the game and not the original game itself.
Gemini spent a bit too much time on political subreddits
Nah, it’s less fun than that. The capital is eating the left, again :(
Some context, albeit simplified: Disco Elysium as an IP and the company behind it (ZA/UM) practically got stolen by some rich investors from the original developers, and most of the original team left or got fired. There were plans for an official sequel of the game, but it got cancelled recently and since then, three games got announced back to back to back by three different studios and have promised to deliver a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The companies are:
Longdue. They have some of the people who developed the original game plus people from big companies like Bungie, Rockstar, but they’re also in bed with ZA/UM and are the ones suing the other two companies.
Dark Math Games. While they do have the most ‘game’ currently as in their spiritual sequel titled ‘XXX Nightshift’ has some trailers and a Steam page, there’s not that much known about them.
Summer Eternal. It’s a workers co-op studio led by an original games’ writer. They have a website which hosts their manifesto, and having read it it’s definitely very Disco, would recommend.
Trump got 4 years of presidency in the US, which is definitely the more extreme punishment. It’s something I would never wish upon my worst enemy
Conflicted if this is actually good.
On one hand, Twitter has become a real neo-nazi platform that openly spreads misinformation/propaganda/rage-bait in the guise of ‘free speech’ with the owner also abusing their powers by stealing handles and censoring and whatnot. The world would be better off without it if it were to die.
On the other, Twitter is still quite a big name with a lot of influence, with alternatives being much more niche. If every decent person was to leave the platform and all that’s left are neo-nazis and “good-faith-neither-left-nor-right-people-who-always-strangely-support-the-right”, it’s just going to make recruitment much easier.
