If the public interest is divided, what should be ICE's interest? This applies to other enforcing orgs too. Should it take the majority even if the debate is close to a tie? In mos…

Would they not allow it? Rockstar is the owner of the game, they can update any removal of content if they want to. Modern games frequently change gameplay, story, and soundtrack b…

You can dowgrade a version of a game, if you want to. Is not as easy as clicking a button, but it is possible and not against ToS

I'm not talking about licenses or owning the game, I'm talking about if a publisher removes a game for whatever reason, you don't immediately lose access to that game, you can play…

The GTA case is because js technically an update from Rockstar, not specifically Steam's fault here. There are always to downgrade a game, but true, it is not as easy as GoG.

Steam's policy is that an already published game can only be delisted, allowing old owners to still play the game. I still own the original versions of Skyrim (before Anniversary e…

Nope, not at all, very different etymologies

Aside from being more flexible they are mostly the same game. The original excuse for bedrock was that Java was slow and a native game would render much better, it was also easier …

Mainly networking and namespaces, same reasons why we run services on docker instead of old multi-user setups

Roko's Basilisk is dumb, but not the dumbest thing I heard people taking seriously

Not needed for working, but I always find GE's improvements on performance much better than stock Proton. I usually default my games to it anyway, since it is always installed

It is obvious when you think that 3d volumes scale cubicly and 1d lengths scale linearly. Adding another 1 meter to a cube of said filaments would increase the total length by a po…

2x RTX3090 is extremely overkill for gaming, you can run any released game on earth on ultra for much less

Some, but not all, most don't. Ideally they would all work, ReactOS doesn't make a priority on being a "safer" option, just an open source option

In the article there's no mention on the targeting works, self guided munitions have machines as targets, usually. A drone by itself might kill civilians and even allies if ot misi…

I'm using Ground News for skimming through the news, their ads are everywhere, but it is a somewhat good product. I pay for the most basic plan and it is pretty cheap. If I want a …

I'm not saying that is good nor that is bad, looking through the anthropology lens there's no value judgement. Besides, differently from your shocking examples, cultures and langua…

To be fair, it is only natural: Portuguese itself only came to be because the Roman Empire conquered the Lusitan land [1], a lot of English comes from Norman French from the Norman…

It is pretty small when considering content output. It is only 11 million people, and only a fraction of them will be writing something that could be used on training datasests. If…

We had TED, but it was not instant, nor was it free. It only worked on working hours and took a maximum of 1h, still better than American banks, though. QR Codes is also a big deal…

I guess things are going into that direction naturally, but not officially. eBPF is helping with getting deep kernel aspects into userspace. And there's some ressurgence of out-of-…

We can't be sure, but probably not on the solar system.

You made me curious about the recording, could you share the youtube link for it? Only if you are comfortable with it, ofc

I usually don't care enough about the games that only run on Windows. Most of the games I play are 100% playable on Linux, even the online competitive ones. Never liked League, PUB…
