Pihole has similar functionality, and it’s FOSS.

TempleOS should be obscure, but everyone knows about it because it’s such a joke.

I read that as “new-age” verification. LOL

We gotta inspect your Chakra dude.

Working people paying for the mistakes of the ownership class. What else is new?

Conspiracy theories are a trick by big Dumb to make people think less.

You must have been of Microslop for a while if you think frustrating issues on update is a Linux thing. Just last a couple weeks ago, Microsoft released a security update that locked people out of their “C” drive. (In Windows, this is bad)

Does anybody use a screensaver in 2026?

I don’t understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I’m satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That’s because the DE get’s the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I’ve just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

I love this. The Luddites were an early labor movement and their reputation is pure capital propaganda.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

All the talk of games ownership and preservation overlooks the fact that I can play my first steam game today, while so many of my disks have been lost to time.

And let’s not forget how much bullshit came with those disks. DRM schemes up to and including root-kits. Serial # and activation codes. And don’t forget, though you had physical media, what you actually owned was a licence.

On the whole, achievements encourage players to do stuff that isn’t fun. Sometimes they’re funny or encourage good gameplay, but too often they’re just busywork, mindless random drops, or insane investments in time/skill.

Any game ported to the PC needs to recognize controllers that are plugged in after launch and need to have a “quit to desktop” option.

This might not be feasible. IDK how you could install a whole OS, inside of another, without looking like a serious virus or malware. There are many files that cannot be changed while Windows is running (why it needs to reboot so often for updates). And no sane OS is going to let a program edit things like the MBR.

Isn’t “Geforce Now” the background service that you have to sign into? I’m glad that Nvidia is taking Linux seriously, but this was never useful on Windows. (for me)

I suppose some Linux users may find it useful, and having a choice is always better. But this is the kind of software I don’t miss since I switched.

If you ranked games by revenue, none of these games would be on the list. Candy Crush and Clash of Clans would fire their CEO if their revenue was pathetic as Activision.

The problem with articles like this is that they only focus on games that are bad as a game, and ignores games that are good to excellent, but that are still bad because they screw their players over, engage in abusive business and labor practices, or are simply owned by dogshit people.

As you can tell, I’m waiting for the Jimqusition end of year lists.

SOMA is a great game. But I’m not going to watch for 2 and a half hours unless it ends with uploading Zoltan Istvan’s consciousness into a broken robot.

Why is Linux different than Microsoft? Most of the games I play aren’t “Linux” games, but the identical Windows software running through a compatibility layer on Linux.

The Steam client on Linux has the same “workshop” tab for adding mods. It’s not in every game, but that’s true on Windows too.

Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!

Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.

The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.
