I started playing red dead redemption 2 again. I got about 2/3 of the way through when it first came out on PC and then got distracted by other games, and it’s now been so long I just started again since I couldn’t remember where I got to. I forgot quite how good it was!

This just looks quite peaceful rather than creepy!

Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming

Uh no, the ground pins need to be at the bottom so they’re near the ground idiot

A couple of years ago they pushed out an update for the enterprise version of Windows Defender that deleted every single program shortcut from the start menu and desktop on every single device. There’s no way that was tested at all

Conservatives don’t like him because he’s too different to the conservatives, everyone else doesn’t like him because he’s too similar

Why do AMD always have such a terrible response to these vulnerabilities? The article seems to suggest they’ve just decided to ignore this. They almost left zen 2 CPUs out of the Sinkclose fix and they took ages to release the Zenbleed fix for consumer CPUs despite it being available for enterprise ones when the vulnerability was released. And their microcode patches on Linux are only for server CPUs, desktop CPUs have to hope that their motherboard vendor releases a firmware update fairly quickly

Most games with anti-cheat refuse to run on Linux even if the anti-cheat itself supports it. And some anti-cheats just don’t work on Linux anyway, I believe the ones that do only support it by just not running when they detect they’re on Linux. If you’re interested you can check which games are supported here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ but bear in mind it could change at any time (for example Rockstar broke GTAV a few weeks ago)

Not the person you replied to but they’re probably talking about anti-cheat

You wouldn’t notice because you’d be dead. Your clone wouldn’t notice because it would think it was you. Your friends and family wouldn’t notice because they’d think your clone was you.

It’s definitely not that for me as I’m on Nvidia!

Yes that’s pretty much it, there’s a strip around 3/4 of the way down both displays that has white line flicker across it whenever there’s any movement on either screen.

Yeah I’m definitely above the relevant versions for kde and Nvidia

That’s a good idea, I’ll try the endeavour OS live environment as that should be close enough to my setup

How would I tell if that’s the case? And I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if that is the cause?

Soon his plan of eradicating all first party controllers will be complete

Well at least I’m better than her other other boyfriend so I’ve got a chance!

Nah I’m not paying for steam either, they make enough money from game sales without double dipping

Honestly looking at the article this seems way less intrusive than pre-roll and mid-roll video ads. If this was to replace them I’d be ok with that. But this is Google so of course it’s just going to be as well as, so my adblocker is staying on for as long as it works

The one time I’ve watched a video and thought “actually maybe this would be better as a 1 minute YouTube short”
