By the Anointed Saviour, what malarkey is this

Back on Reddit, there were even complaints that EA's anticheat was conflicting with Riot's anticheat. Yep, now you potentially need two different installations of Windows to run each of your games. At this point, you would need to buy several SSDs and a SSD extension (or an external USB reader, since USB speeds nowadays are relatively fast enough to afford running those games from an external drive), then install each game (and operative system) in a different one, and swap between them before booting, just like a cartridge. Same would go, of course, for your actual main GNU/Linux drive that contains your actual personal data - that way, the anticheat can't even see your personal information, as it'd physically unplugged from your computer. And since Windows checks the license per motherboard, not per drive, you should be able to recycle the activation key between your Valorant "cartridge" and your Battlefield "cartridge". At this point, paying for a dedicated game console and the online pass starts becoming attractive...

...That, or just boycott multiplayer games altogether. If your group of friends doesn't mind, of course.

Do the Czechs add at least a few schwas in the middle to make it work?

Even better: add a second USB-C port, so we can use a wired headphone and a charger at the same time.

Nah, if Big Media is so insistent on enforcement, I'd rather go without. Eyeballs are still a form of platforming anyways.

Samsung, being the largest manufacturer of South Korea, has an incentive to keep their production as in-house as possible. Which is why they're reluctant to license technology that they can build themselves, such as cameras.

I can't afford any streaming services, so that makes us at least two

Well, it turns out that my norm is apparently not good enough for my family, so they expect me to, first, turn my best into my norm, then go somehow beyond my best. The result? Chronic burnout yesiree

I'd say you should check if any scheduled cleaning tasks are accidentally deleting your files.

Flatpak being securely sandboxed by default is both its biggest strength and its worst point of contention. The XDG is still scrambling to replicate the permission requests paradigm from Android on the Linux desktop.

That reminds me, is Flatpak packaging CLI tools already?
