Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

US is expected to send Ukraine $150 million more in munitions to fight off Russia's attacks ( apnews.com )

The U.S. is expected to announce Tuesday it is sending an additional $150 million in critically needed munitions to Ukraine, as Russia accuses Ukraine of using U.S.-provided munitions to strike inside Russia or Russian-held territory, according to two U.S. officials. ...

Russia is the country imposing the invasion in Ukraine. Russia is the only country that can stop doing the invasion.

Friendly reminder that these pandemics are the direct result of animal exploitation and carnists have themselves to thank for making the entire world suffer to an incalculable extent, just so they can have 5 minutes of mouth pleasure.

Those "super bugs" and antibiotic-resistant bacteria you've heard scientists express dire concern about for many years? Yep. This is it. And it'll only continue happening as long as we allow animals to be systemically bred into existence and exploited.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser ( www.windowslatest.com )

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.

Lol. It's a close second, but at least Apple isn't blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

I've heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I'll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I'm having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the "Automatically add games to Steam" option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you're willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

FYI: The Mises caucus is an even more far-right faction of the (fake) Libertarian party that leans pretty heavily into ethno-nationalist policies. I'd take everything this organization says with a massive grain of salt.

This is just me being pedantic, but I keep seeing this mistake when UTM is mentioned (specifically in headlines), so I feel like I have to say something:

UTM is not an emulator. It is virtual machine software that uses an emulator (QEMU) to virtualize operating systems.

The difference: emulators emulate hardware. On which, the virtualized operating systems run.

I hope if he has a red line for the SC, it's actually real and unlike the fake one that Israel totally didn't cross.

Pack that fucking court already.

While I generally agree with your skeptical attitude toward this, I think the fact that they were targeting Apple's Metal graphics API to built the most performant possible IDE makes sense. You can't just snap your fingers and have a Linux graphical stack start working with your software.

I think the reason they targeted macOS first is probably because many of the dev team uses Macs.

As a Linux user, I'll happily wait for software like this to get ported to native Linux APIs so we get performant text editors instead of more Electron crap.

You might've gotten an automated denial due to exceeding the standard threshold for refund eligibility. Make another request until it gets human intervention.
