Same might be true for Valve, but at the very least we can clearly observe them sacrificing extra profits for a tiny minority of Linux users.
Considering the Steam Deck exists, which necessitates Linux support, I’m fairly certain Valve is actively making profit from Linux support.
Which is a perfectly fine thing to do, and I really like it. But it’s not exactly altruism that’s driving their investments
It should support both. On the instance side to limit a region/country matching the instance, then client side to set your actual reachable area.
Its called the stone age, not the log age, duh.
They should be able to afford the bagel oven now.
I have a colleague specifically called “You”, so that checks out.
One of my main gripes with TLJ is that subversion of expectation kind of stops working when you do it like 5-7 times in one movie.
The other main issue is that Cantonica should have had a 15 minute podrace scene instead of the giraffythingies.
The Taliban hated women long before being funded by the US, and hating women was not why they are funded. Same for the fundamentalist Iranian Muslims.
Them being in power (and the subsequent suffering of women) can be attributed to the US, but not them hating women per se.
I like hating on the US as much as anyone, but let’s not pretend they’re the source of all evil (only lots).
There are a lot of people that are capable of suppressing women without the US just fine. Just have a quick look at the Arabic peninsula, or the Taliban.
Western securely repressive puritanism, maybe.
That depends on a whole bunch of factors. Maximum velocity is a big one. In Germany (might be EU, not sure), motor assistance is capped at 25km/h for the vast majority of e-bikes (there are some that go to 45, but they are not allowed on bike lanes), which I find to be a decent compromise between safety and speed.
Age plays another role, in that e-bikes allow older people to cycle, whose reaction times or other capabilities may be worse than average. Some training might be required to adjust to the unfamiliar power, too. But I’ll take an elderly cyclist over elderly SUV drivers any day.
And then there’s the infrastructure. Biking can be anywhere from outright suicidal to very safe depending on the existence and state of proper bike lanes. This is the biggest difference between places like the Netherlands and let’s just say elsewhere.
Even at 100%, there’s still better things to do with electricity than Bitcoin. Like hydrogen and fuel production (for planes, ships, heavy industry).
Assassinating a guy driving around in an armoured golf cart does sound like a GTA mission.
Those popups were so prolific that all browser developers responded by implementing popup blockers.
Which kind of led to the absolute mess of banner ads (and the adblockers created in response) that we still have today. I dare you to deactivate your adblocker on any of the major (commercial) news sites.
He has always had the tendency to overhype his games by a lot. But while he just burned money for over a decade now, he has created some pretty good games before that (Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, the Fable series).
