Cloudflare provides a very large haystack for this, but even for an nginx server with no CDN, it's still useful to prevent the hostname from being sent in the clear before the TLS connection is negotiated. This still hides the hostnam

I've been gaming primarily on Linux for almost 15 years, and buying from GOG as my first choice, and have never encountered a single instance of what you're describing. I don't have a single Linux game on my GOG account that

Can you give me an example of what you're referring to? I've got a lot of Linux games from GOG and have never encountered any situation in which the Linux build stopped working, nor any situation in which the Windows build was be

The OSS alternatives do download and install the Linux builds. But again, the whole point of GOG is that you don't need a special client in the first place. You just get ordinary installers, and don't have to deal with the game

I don't think that's correct. Prices for retail goods aren't usually even attached to the product in interstate commerce, and are shown locally on store shelving. Any applicable unit pricing requirements would be at the stat

> Please release a Linux client The whole point of GOG is that you don't need a "client" -- it's just a store. If you want to use something other than a standard web browser to install your games, there are plenty o

There are tons of Linux games distributed on GOG, and not having to use a proprietary client is one of its great advantages. Not to downplay Valve's contributions (and I may well get a Steam Frame when they come out), but they mostl

Not sure what you're trying to say here. The distinction is pretty clear: GOG distributes standalone installers without any DRM, and Steam does not.

The Crimson Diamond is unique in that it's deliberately trying to evoke a very specific era and platform: late '80s, Sierra SCI engine. It's particularly inspired by The Colonel's Bequest. That's why it uses EGA-s

I've been using the Px437 Verite 9x6 font from this pack as my main terminal font for years now, and couldn't be happier with it. VileR's font pack is great for both retro use cases, like displaying ANSI art, and for modern

This is the exact argument that we had in the 1990s about content on television, and the solution ended up being exactly this -- TV networks started attaching ratings to their broadcasts, and TV sets started including "v-chips" th

I tried it a few months ago, and didn't perceive any of those items as particular benefits. 1. Terminal emulators that feel 'native' are ubiquitous. Sure, there are also a lot that have idiosyncratic UIs, but I'm not ge

There's a big difference between protecting a team from all the shit and hiding it from them completely. It's good to be a transparent shit umbrella. The team should absolutely have visibility into what's going on, and und

That's a really bizarre and oddly Platonist take on things. Your grandfather was viewing laws of nature as rules imposed onto reality by some outside force, and which therefore need some "mechanism" to be in place to "e

I'm not sure that's directly analogous, though. We're talking about people looking at specific cultural trends and making reasoned arguments about specific causes and effects, not just saying "X will happen". Spec

Many of them may not be Node developers either, and might not have npm installed. Using a dependency management tool for one language to distribute a packaged application written in an entirely different language seems like a very strange

There's also the XY problem problem , where some people expect that every of a complex or unusual question is an instance of the XY problem, even when the requester really does just need a solution to Y.
