    MS really hates minecraft's inherited self hosted server model. You can actually get a global ban for wrongthink commited on your own private server. (granted, someone needs to rep…

    Oh yes, massively so. In the last few years we got quite a few cards/archetypes that can do so called "turn 0 plays", meaning you can perform a lot of actions even on your opponent…

    Do you have the eye/headphone icon in the popup or is the QR verification the only option?

    >Yu-Gi-Oh cards are still a thing? Yes, culturally not as relevant but gameplay wise it is very fun. The current structure decks on offer are great if you have a shop nearby or a f…

    well, right now Denuvo "remote attests" in a Play Integrity "MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY" sense that it has no hardware backing and relies on checking your runtime enviroment for signs o…

    This is the original sin of modern computing. Almost all anti user features are only made possible because we didn't pass laws against "secure elements" that serve the maker and no…

    Well said, you get what I'm looking for. This might be the reason for me to give freebsd a go. Though my current hardware probably wouldn't play nice with it.

    Kind of envious of this as a Debian user. I know we have cockpit but it never really clicked for me. Functionality wise too crashy and not so nicely intergrated, design wise it has…

    Terrible idea, I hope go bankrupt. I can see like a 100 ways this can make computing worse for 99% people and like 1-2 scenarios where it might actually be useful. Like if the poli…
