WINE is the best example, they switched after TransGaming's Cedega just released a commercial fork and contributed nothing back.

Yeah, although the USA didn't get there by itself, it's built on an empire of exploitation and murder in Latin America and Asia, etc.

It depends on your company, but the statutory minimums are awful. You get a minimum of 2 week's extra pay if you have over 2 years service, and Job Seekers' Allowance is about 77 quid a week - so imagine living on less than $500 a

That would be outright war, they don't need to threaten that at all, if it got to that point they might as well just nuke Berlin.

It's not a random substack blog, it's one of the most famous journalists (a real one, no less!) in the world.

Nowadays the media is much more polarised though, all stories that oppose the American imperial establishment must be censored and deleted as "disinformation", I'm sure people are flagging this right now and calling OP a Russ

With consoles? That sucks, we hosted it on AWS and it was fine but it was just Windows and Linux clients.

Valheim runs natively on Linux btw.

It has a strong GPU but relatively weak CPU by comparison. So it really depends what you play. FWIW in my case, it is much better than my laptop from only a year prior.

The issue is the trade-off with performance though, that'd make it even more of a niche device. And almost all games are x86 only so either you need to do that opcode level conversion too (on top of the Windows / DirectX APIs), or

Trudeau already froze protesters' bank accounts, so I don't see much of a difference with the current system. I think the main benefits would be if we could get out of the VISA and Mastercard duopoly, and the requirement to settle

All of Europe had severe rationing during and post-WW2. Gringos don't know how good they've had it.

A field day for spammers though.

Always has been, look at Project Blackbird, the QDOS and Mosaic deals, Halloween documents, Microsoft Pluton, etc.

Valheim was great, my friends and family hosted a persistent instance on AWS so we could play from all over the world. It was awesome building bridges and then finding someone else had built a new base the next day, etc.

We're so much closer to these things now, the progress in the last few years has been incredible.

It's similar with the BMA in the UK, but they've been less successful. It's worked out well for the doctors in the USA though so you can't blame them.

Runescape was incredible for the time, I played even before there was a paid membership, starting around 2000. There were so many great features like cooking being useful for people heading to mine rare ores in the wilderness so you'd

Those didn't have a persistent world map though.

But many exchanges dodge KYC so you can't tie an address to a person necessarily.

The worst thing is the terrible incentives it's created by making it so easy for people to exploit free CPU capacity, and transfer money with no monitoring for fraud or ability to reverse it. So no-one can offer free/demo tier CPU

Surprised Ultima VII isn't there for the day-night cycles and AI scripting, etc. I think only Oblivion caught up with this some 15 years later. Also Baldur's Gate, Thief, Deus Ex, Jagged Alliance were all genre-defining with their

Most cryptocurrency mining still ends up being done by a few huge companies though.

I think the real risk of bad actors is with spam though - there are already hordes of fake crypto scammers on dating apps, job boards, housing listings, second-hand sales, etc. - now they can use this to generate fake profiles, descriptions

It's crazy how it's become so commonplace. I hope one day we can really reach the point where skin colour is as unremarkable as eye colour. Where people really are judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their

Jesus, as Europoor I don't even get 50k after tax as a senior engineer at the moment. I agree though putting up with commuting again would need to be well rewarded.

I'm surprised cars have it worse than public transport tbh. I guess it really depends on parking, etc.

More than anything else I'd want better equipment than I have at home - i.e. an ultra-wide monitor, simple USB-C docking, good noise-cancelling headphones and a good microphone or headset and webcam, a US-layout ISO keyboard, a comfort

Yeah, go on strike, or refuse to work with the public health system, etc. Britain had all of these issues and it cost a lot of money. There's also other issues - like the NHS doesn't cover circumcision unless there is medical need
