I virtue signaled over a decade ago.

But it’s the radical atheist communist left that wants to get rid of borders, eh?

Did you accidentally replace your path rather than append to it? You might need to get a recovery drive, chroot in, and reset the path. Not sure what the actual value should be though.

To me this smells of typical subsidizing of a product to capture market share then lock in that market share. Anything I’m missing?

That’s exactly it.

From their email:

So it’s just a rate limited thing meant to get you signed up and then cut you off right when you get used to it. I get access through work and well, it just sucks.

Different operating systems have their own interfaces to allow user level programs (like games) to communicate with hardware. This is a great-over-simplification, but one OS may understand something like “drawTriangle(x, y, z)” while another may expect “drawPolygon([x, y, z])”.

There are software projects to attempt to translate commands meant for one OS for a different OS (such as “Wine” or Valve’s “Proton”) and those work fairly well in cases that: 1) there’s an analogous command, 2) the analogous commands have been accurately mapped, and 3) the analogous commands operate in user space.

That last point is the primary reason why, despite the best efforts of developers, some games still cannot work across OSs. Operating systems are built on top of different levels with the lowest being the “kernel” (of “kernel level anti-cheat” notoriety) and the highest being the user space (where you interact). Both Windows and Linux have these, but the boundaries around them, what they can and cannot do, and how to interact across those boundaries differs between each system.

So when a Windows game installs a driver to monitor everything that your computer does that driver (kernel level anti-cheat) is tailored very specifically to the extremely powerful, low level, and unique Windows kernel. Linux cannot run that natively. If the game pretends that spying on you is an essential component to launch then the game will not launch. If, however, a game is perfectly happy to just stay in user space where it belongs then it will probably work fine with the available translation layers.

Its okay! All she did was murder someone and accuse 3 others of rape and assault so that someone would get to know God better!

Republicans killing kids again :(

It’s crazy that if Israel wants a demilitarized buffer zone it has to happen in another county, not their own, and be seized by their military.

Can we crowd source ads around Manhattan and have people with bullhorns on the sidewalks around the court entrances announcing “Jury Nullification is your right!”?

Republicans keep killing kids. :(

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

If you engrained an exception into your ban then you haven’t actually got a ban.

Slavery was not ended.

I’m not convinced the “it’s up to the states to decide” bit wasn’t a pretense to make it more palatable during the election. Trump says a lot of things, he also does a lot of things. Sometimes he does what he says and othertimes not.

The guy who claimed single responsibility for ending Roe is definitely not pro-choice though.

Also shelters don’t count and you cannot interpret refusal to stay at a shelter as “wanting to be homeless.”

I help out with a street outreach mutual aid group. I’ve not met a single person that wanted to be homeless but I’ve met tons of people that don’t want to fuck with shelters cause:

• they have to get rid of their dog
• they can’t bunk with their partner or children
• they are trans and most of the shelters are religiously affiliated
• there are tight curfews and early kick out times
• no guarantee of consecutive night stays or even a bed, no consistency
• you can’t have friends over
• you can’t have more than one bag
• you must walk outside to a separate communal bathroom–even in a blizzard–if a pee cup is discovered you’ll be kicked out
• you must attend religious services prior to receiving aid
• some shelters are day only

The streets are harsh, but in most cases the shelters are worse. Their only consistent benefit is that they are warm when it’s -20F out and if you keep your head down the police will probably not fuck with you.

This has been tried multiple times across numerous jurisdictions. Consistently it’s been found that giving poor people money makes them less poor in the long run. This seems to be an unsavory result, however, so politicians let the experiment retire never to actually learn from the results and draft policy.

This experiment is going to work and then nothing will come of it only for another jurisdiction to try exactly the same thing again and find exactly the same results.

The myth of meritocracy is still too prevalent a belief.

Good news! The secular world has already investigated it.

There oughta be a hyphen in that title somewhere.

No high-iq individual will work 2 weeks per week with no pay in a society that requires money to live.

“Oh good! You let some cereal in. I guess you can have a little genocide as a treat!”

Therefore the wanton slaughter of 41,000 people is justified! Who knew they had an excuse this whole time?
