Things that contain six pairs also contain two pairs. :P
You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I’d recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.
Until they reach a deal with mobile carriers and start shipping with SIM cards…
Installing the lastest Nvidia drivers for Debian was pretty straightforward, after which everything runs smoothly. I suspect the distro you pick isn’t going to matter as much as you think!
In addition, theatres advertise a starting time of X:00, but the movie can sometimes start as late as X:30 after 30 fucking minutes of ads and trailers. That was my previous and last experience in a theatre.
“When other people take notice of an individual’s identity-related behavioral intention, this gives the individual a premature sense of possessing the aspired-to identity.”

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I’m surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!
If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.
I suspect the difficulty the publishers face is that fun is difficult to quantify. The read on this might end up being “All things being equal, DRM/MTX/etc aren’t statistically impediments to financial success if the game is going to sell well anyway. If we percieve them to improve our bottom line, let’s include them”.

Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.
Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.
I tried summarizing the history of the whole thing with relevant links in https://iscanadafair.ca/2015/. What surprised me while getting all the context together was that basically the exact same thing happened in 1909: https://iscanadafair.ca/1909-1923/.
A little more subtle than that. The ERRE came back with a report (https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/421/ERRE/Reports/RP8655791/errerp03/errerp03-e.pdf) whose #1 recommendation was adopting any system that’s roughly proportional (e.g. MMP, STV, etc).
The Committee recommends that the Government should, as it develops a new electoral system, use the Gallagher index in order to minimize the level of distortion between the popular will of the electorate and the resultant seat allocations in Parliament. The government should seek to design a system that achieves a Gallagher score of 5 or less.
But instead of moving forward with a proportional system (which would impact the number of seats the liberals win by way of voters voting strategically for the Liberals), they instead released My democracy.ca. A push poll if there ever was one.
If you find one (or make one!), link it here please. :)
https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/ and whatnot exist. Any reason why such an approach couldn’t be taken?
I have a Switch but have bought maybe 3 games for it tops. Where Steam has user reviews, a super simple refund policy, and frequent deep discounts, Nintendo’s purchasing experience is clearly lacking in a customer-friendly approach.
Anyone asking for recommendations for their next gaming device, it’s Steam Deck every time.
Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.
Sadly, this doesn’t even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.
Totally possible to go overboard in either spectrum of complexity. But yeah, take Prometheus for example. It’s super easy to set up and does a great job of metrics. Reimplementing this in bash would require… a lot of work.
I’d recommend considering how the recently expired https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. would have applied to streaming services.
