Are you saying that's happened? Or that you expect it will?

If this is the same thing I'm thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.

It's rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.

It serves the key purpose of Mumble, in that it provides a reliable way to get in a voice chat with people. The other features (text chat, video calls, screen sharing, "servers" that let people aggregate for a dedicated purpose/community) come together to make a legitimately good product that's hard to replace.

With little to no attachment to one's personal life, unless I'm mistaken.

Is there a peer to peer equivalent to Discord? That feels like it would be the best option, since it wouldn't rely on a centralized company that could enshittify the product.

It is a bit baffling. I think it's more ethical than the alternative though: pay gating useful functionality. Offering paid pallete swaps doesn't make a lot of sense to me, someone who would never pay for that, but it does at least mean I can just ignore it. If they were to, say, restrict voice calls to a paid subscription, suddenly I'm in a position where either I'm paying for the service or ditching it entirely.

I want to see how that works too!

In the long term, yes. Ideally your birth rate matches your death rate so you have stability in supporting the citizenry. But when your system expects the birth rate to exceed the death rate, even changing to equilibrium can be catastrophic.

I got a message from my boss today asking me to come into the office (I'm nominally fully remote). It's probably fine, but...

I don't rightly expect whether I watch propaganda to change the opinions of those that believe it. Just because "they" won't consume content I know to be good, that means I should consume content I know to be bad to balance it out?

 

Specifically looking at the game Monster Hunter Wilds.

I've had mixed luck -- when it works, it runs brilliantly. But when it doesn't, it crashes before even getting to the main menu.

The disparity is so great I figure there has to be something I can do to identify the problem. But unfortunately I'm completely at a loss for parsing the logs generated when setting PROTON_LOG=1.

Is there a guide, or some other general advice, for how to read and learn from the logs Proton generates?
