I’m not really familiar with Stellaris, but with EUIV you really don’t need all DLC. Basically the DLCs are fleshing out one faction. So you get some special features and events for the Ottoman Empire, Venice or China that enhances how they play. If you do not want to play as Ottoman Empire, buying the DLC is pointless. If you have several hundreds of hours played, buying a DLC gives you something new and an excuse to start the Venice playthrough. I assume that they are handling Stellaris similar

Mostly people are nostalgic for specific games because they played them in a special time in their lifes. Those early teens where you start to appreciate more complex stories, where you have the time and motivation to spend hundreds of hours on a game over a summer, maybe with your friends sitting near you all experiencing the game together for the first time. And as bitter as it sounds: There might be better games around now, but no game will be able to give you that experience.

Ubuntu & Linux Mint have a Live-USB-Setup. So you can install it on a USB stick, boot from that and then linux is running on your computer. Use it to check if your hardware works and check out the system. If you like it, you can install it from there afterward

Yeah, but on the other hand it is really annoying for us linux folks. Those games can run on linux as most games do with Proton. Some gaming companies are actively fighting against linux users and are even banning them. And then in every discussion about linux someone is showing up and shouting “I can’t use linux, my games don’t work, linux sucks”.

If you’re not selling access, why should you care? You are providing a service to your users and if they want to stream from you, they will figure out how to do this

It was difficult to setup

I’m not really sure here - I just did the setup and you literally paste one command into your terminal. There you’ll find the Jellyfin IP and port, visit it in a browser and you’ll get a simple wizard which guides you into setting up your libraries. Which also is not complicated, you just select a folder where your stuff is?

I have been using this font on my eBook Reader for years. It’s great. Highly recommended - it might look a little bit goofy at the first glance, but it really is more readable.

There is an international court that is responsible for prosecuting individuals for crimes like genocide oder crimes agains humanity. It’s sensible to collect all evidence and put Zuckerberg & Co on trial to see how deep their involvement goes

English is not the author’s native language. So maybe give him some slack?

Let’s be honest: We knew that Elon was an asshole and totally batshit insane after the thailand caving incident. That was in 2018. Everybody who bought a Tesla after that didn’t pay attention

There is an oversupply and China is reducing imports to protect their own industry:

It’s also a great way to mess with Trump (and other conservative governments worldwide) as farmers are some of their most loyal supporters. And since the Trump gov won’t do much against H5N1, it’s also a great way to protect yourself.

Reddit is calculating its MAU differently. They seem to be counting even not-logged-in users coming from search engines - without that numbers like “1 billion monthly active users” really don’t make any sense and even that is a crazy metric, if you think about it. There is no way that 1/8 of humanity is browsing on Reddit in a month. Lemmy seems to count only users who are doing something (submitting, commenting, upvoting)

The problem is that many companies can’t do that as they can’t give you their custom server code. The only solution here would be to change design from the beginning so that devices can work without servers and are also so secure that they don’t need security updates

There is a difference between me reading a book and learning from it and one of the biggest companies in the world pirating millions of books for their business. And it really gets bad when normal users are getting sued for tenthousands of dollars when they download a book or a MP3 and Meta is getting defended for doing the same thing, but in a much larger scale.

Yes, we know that copyright is broken. But if it is broken, it has to be broken for all
