Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine whenever they want to.

Banning animal agriculture is the only way to prevent this. Animal exploitation is why we get most zoonotic pandemics, and continuing to allow to to happen will result in more suffering for everyone else.

Why are you being so obtuse? Yes, the repercussions for losing to Nintendo in court are life-ruining. I said that already.

However, continuing to let Nintendo DMCA legitimate emulation projects isn’t good in the long-term either and only stalls progress for the targeted projects.

The only way to “win” this fight is to win in court. I’m not saying that any dev should be compelled against their will to do so. It’s just the only way to actually make progress. This isn’t a technical problem; it’s a legal one.

Gamers are only capable of remembering these things right up until the next first-party exclusive and new console gets announced. Then, it’s right back to opening their wallets for these fuckers.

The only way to truly win this fight is for the devs to face potentially life-ruining circumstances to fight it in court. Until then, Nintendo will continue harassing devs and killing the development progress of emulators.

I agree with your sentiment. Just one small thing: .c files are usually C source code, and are meant to be compiled into binaries.

It doesn’t change OP’s situation at all though.

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

God bless 🫡 Get the occupying force the fuck outta there.

Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

Good. You don’t get to invade another country and expect that they won’t hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don’t belong in.

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.

I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.

Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can’t do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn’t work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.

I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It’s not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name over brew install package-name. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.

Here’s a neat tip:

You can go to most publisher or developer pages on Steam and “ignore” them to prevent Steam from ever showing you their slop again.

Example:

1. Go to: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/Ubisoft
2. Click the “Settings” cog.
3. “Ignore this creator”

You can do the same with EA, 2K, etc. Don’t even give these parasites microseconds of your time when they release their next slop title.

If someone could build a preconfigured image that has Phosh and basic phone apps, I would consider using this full time.

Friendly reminder that conflating Jewish people with Israel is highly antisemitic.

Ethnostates should not exist. They will always result in the exclusion and harm of the excluded groups, as we are seeing now with the government of said ethnostate attempting to genocide Palestinians.

Both Nazis and the genocidal government of Israel are willing to enact violence to uphold their ethnostates, so in that regard, comparing Zionism (not Jewish people) to other ideologies that aim to build ethnostates is perfectly apt.

Hope this helps 🥰
