Israel makes no such distinction. It offers citizenship based purely on religious affiliation. Is Benjamin Mileikowsky counted as Middle-Eastern because daddy went to university in the Middle East?

The same reputation extends to Windows too so I don’t think it’s a Linux specific issue.

I like the UX as it’s pretty powerful but I’m mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications. I have the opposite of your complaint - I like that it does periodic checks and will notify you of detected problems and usually give you a button to press to solve it.

My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like “near the top” or “after mod x”. I don’t know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.

No-one has ever told me what’s actually wrong with Vortex.

Yeah I agree, it seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?

Yeah I agree, it feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

Some of us live in functioning democracies where “switch to USB-D” won’t come with an “it’s illegal to give your son a name that wasn’t previous a job title” attachment.

You are being tested on your comprehension of the text given, not asked for your opinion on piracy and copyright.

What on earth are you talking about? What start button is in the middle?

I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I’m not saying things aren’t better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.

Oh I’m sure it’s not wasted work. But any content delivered now, for free, is in direct competition with buying a whole new game, probably for >=$70. I guess they’re very confident in the new game modes or something.

I’m surprised to see this update- I thought MS were making a “new” Flight Simulator for this year. I’m aware that content creation and game creation are usually quite separate but odd that they’d be release stuff to “keep” you on the “old”/current FS iteration.

I mean they fucking advertised it as such when I bought it

Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn’t seem important either.

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would “find a way” to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time…

They don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They just need a federated instance and then they have literally everything you post delivered to them as part of the way Lemmy is designed.

Please understand literally nothing on Lemmy is private.

As a vegetarian, aquarist and climate doomer, I want to point out your joke was pretty funny.

…It was a joke, right?

Excellent commitment to the bit. Well done

The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.

Did you read the article? The change being made is that the voter eligibility list hasn’t been updated in 25 years. Yes that means recent “immigrants” from France (New Caledonia is France, at least for now) can’t vote.

It also means people under 40 can’t vote…

But he added: “The unrest of the last 24 hours reveals the determination of our young people to no longer let France take control of them.”

I don’t doubt he’s right but I find it fascinating that those young people are essentially rioting to not be allowed to vote.
