Fucking same.

I deleted my main account once they first came out with the reddit recap, and deleted my replacement when they fucked RIF, never to return.

I still lurk without an account sometimes, but that's all they'll ever get out of me.

What I want is a way to answer the phone like a fax machine. Just press a button and the call gets answered and immediately starts playing that fax machine sound.

I'll bet that would stop calls. Surely they have something that can tell if they're calling a fax machine over and over.

I think the example you're using is closer to emulation.

I'm not an expert by any means, most of my technology experience comes from hardware. But Proton isn't changing the Linux ecosystem, and the programs are still expecting a windows environment when they're run via Proton.

From what I recall, Linux and windows can both do the same stuff, they just have different names or different ways to ask for resources. And Proton receives the request for whatever and converts it to the Linux equivalent.

It's not nearly as bad as it was in the past, now that the graphics APIs are system agnostic.

Most simply put, it's a layer that allows a computer program expecting windows to run on Linux. It isn't emulating anything, just sorta like translating.

Think of it like a language. Windows speaks English, so a program expects to talk in English. But let's pretend like Linux talks Spanish. Proton translates the English commands to Spanish for Linux to understand and execute, and then Proton converts the responses back to English for the program.

JAQing off, if you will.

Plus, by the time you find the end, the crew can have moved on.

You could also exploit that to ambush the people trying to follow the cable farther into enemy territory.

Looks pretty neat.

Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I'd love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

I'm not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn't use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

You could replace "Brave Browser" with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

At least Firefox wasn't caught hijacking affiliate links.

As someone with two kids who play games on the switch, physical carts keep me from having to buy every game two or three times.

So losing the ability to buy a game and share it between three switches will severely increase the costs of games for me.
