Opting out would mean you would be barred from making use of any public roads. Or having 24/7 access to emergency services. I don't see how either being subject to that or the enforcement of it would be feasible in any measure.

Interesting, I seem to have missed this change from 2021. That's far more reasonable.

The issue is that there is a lot of literal trash in form of autogenerated content from bots to search through. You need a ranking of some kind if you want to find anything of relevance which will always be subject to exploitation by others

I don't support piracy of currently sold games. I do however support piracy once a developer stops selling their game and obtaining a ROM (and bypassing any implemented DRM) becomes the only feasible way to preserve a game. Yes emulato

Agreed. Especially today where games are often bound to digital stores which are essentially a ticking time bomb. What happens to all your bought games once the owner loses interest and shuts down the store + online services? Unless you are

I don't think anyone mentioned giving up though. It could very well just be a temporary measure until they find a real partner. Or maybe they never will find one (which could very well be an unfortunate reality for some) in which case

There is no official modding API for the Java edition unless that changed some time ago. I remember there being plans for it almost a decade ago now but nothing coming out of it for the Java edition - Bedrock however got modpack support.

The commonly used licenses like GPL and MIT don't put any restrictions on commercial use granted you don't break any of the conditions and limitations. Theoretically you could even just take any software using any of those license

The client seems to be very suseptible to I/O stalls and even randomly just locks up for a few seconds by itself every once in a while on my end for some reason. That in itself would be fine if it wouldn't also directly affect gam

If you decide to dive into it depending on your filesystem of choice I can recommend either Sanoid [0] and httm [1] for ZFS or Snapper [2] for BTRFS as automatic snapshot solutions. Good luck with your endeavors! [0] https://gith

I mean you can accept it and still be on the hunt for a better job offer, no? You wouldn't lose any opportunities from accepting the offer.

I'll take both. I like fun games and I also like seeing how far developers and artists can push graphics given cutting edge hardware, budget and time. It doesn't have to be an "either or" situation (nor are they mutually

Exactly that. I already went down that spiral many times and the result is nothing but sadness about the many injustices of the world. But ultimately it's out of my hand. It's out of your hand. The ball is in no one's court.

Yes, life isn't fair and I don't think anyone argues otherwise. That's just human nature. People have to live with it.

That only works if they are using blatant instant snap-on aimhacks - which I fully agree should be checked for since that's one obvious target. If the aimbot is a bit more sophisticated where it mimics mouse movement though I don'

You can disable intel-pstate (using either intel_pstate=passive or intel_pstate=disable) and revert back to the acpi_cpufreq scaling driver to fall back to userspace governors.

Agreed. I'm unsure whether this is the right approach, it should be the parents' duty to monitor what their children are doing and limit access appropriately but it's been clear that many of them simply can't be bothered

Aren't lock-ins into their own respective ecosystem what every tech giant is striving for? Don't see how that behavior is Microsoft-exclusive necessarily.
