Yeah, fair. I guess spite alone may not be enough of a motivator.

On the list thing, it seems that adding numbers with periods in a list seems to auto configure it to ascending numbers. That’s why I used (1) (3) (4). Weird, but I guess that’s the work around.

Enrolling your keys doesn’t work btw, because battlefield checks which keys you enroll, only accepting the default MS keys. Also on the hardware front, it is a big problem for gamers on a sub-300 USD budget these days - the best deals are on legacy hardware or surplus office equipment, mainly AM3-AM4 era.

(1) Yeah, well the secure boot keys needed for Linux distributions expire in September (https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/microsoft-signing-key-required-for-secure-boot-uefi-bootloader-expires-in-september-which-could-be-problematic-for-linux-users), so that seems like a sustainable solution, sure buddy.

(3) What’s your income? What region of the world do you live in and what hardware is available to you? I’m still using an am4 platform PC as my daily driver because I can’t burn money. One of my buddies has an AM3 PC. Many people use modified surplus office PCs (especially in developing nations like South America or SEA), which don’t have secure boot as an option. Check your privilege, and maybe donate some of your spare hardware to those who need it, if you want to make this “a non issue” for everyone.

(4) Yeah. I own my hardware, I configure my software. I gut Windows like a fish and keep it on a leash for these games, and use Linux for my work and for the games that respect the ecosystem.

DayZ, Rust, TF2 and Minecraft were the model all along. Nice that it’s vindicated.

It’s already dead mate. Hop on the finals, we got linux support.

How long until the DRM is cracked and a “community version” is available?

… it’d be funny as fuck if it happens soon :)

… but all I want to know is where’s the caveman?

Yeah, but you can’t circumvent this on iOS. It’s incredibly easy to spoof information on android.

I haven’t, but I will now! :)

The future is now, old man. Been dealing with this my entire life.

That can be done on android and other operating systems. Apple is always the SOL option when it comes to dodging this crap.

No. There’s far more examples of scientific advancement discovery being shot in the knees by theocratic groups than the alternative. Religion is a social tool used for shaping human interpretations of their role within human society, not a legitimate way to enhance our understanding of the world.

I would go as far as to say that having a strong association with a religious organization is an incredible detriment to any technological or scientific advancement.

Yeah heads don’t move like that lol, looked like B-tier CGI

I’m still looking for a Librewolf or similar Android fork, has that ever made it close? I know the original project devs dont seem interested.

Add arrogance to that undesirable cooking pot.

Nah, max capacity for the Blu-Ray format was always around 100GB, but some go higher. The limiting factor is actually the data transfer speed - it’s worse than fucking USB2.

Fire!

Because they pay apple? I’d imagine that’s obvious. It’s more useful metrics for the developer. I would be surprised if they didn’t tier the information access about users behind closed doors.

Android’s not perfect, but at least permissions can be set per app, you can root your device, or install GrapheneOS or Lineage to bypass this crap entirely.

Welp, goodbye all non-corporate RND in almost all scientific development.

Talk about a short-sighted admin.

I’d imagine gatekeeping based on a percentage of FOSS used isn’t going to win many hearts and minds in the long run for our communities. Imagine if the Linux community decried using the Steam Store on FOSS operating systems.

If the tool is best for the job, people will use it. Our role is to make FOSS that tool in each category.
