Terranigma, very cool game

I mean, in this case Windows doesn’t force you to restart either, you can just keep chugging along with the restart icon at the bottom right… That icon can stay there for weeks on my girlfriend’s laptop

Just following the update manager instructions

No restart require on Linux is a joke, right? Because I get updates that require restarts as often as I get them on Windows when updating Mint.

I said English UK but you’re free to try it with any language that doesn’t make Microsoft believe you’re from the US or Canada, but I bet a European country would be best considering the amount of laws they have to prevent abuse by corporations compared to the rest of the world…

Man, seems hard for you guys to just choose English UK when installing windows…

These are things I don’t have 🤷

Do your installation properly (use English UK as your display language) and you don’t get any of those.

Yep, nationalize everything that’s essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.

Yep, I configure it with English UK as the windows display language then adjust my settings based on my real needs.

Good news everyone, the US has control over EU agencies now!

Never had any ads in 10 or 11

Took hours to get wifi working on Mint after wasting a day trying to get my GPU working on Bazzite (all AMD setup before someone asks)

Meanwhile I install windows with English UK as my language and don’t get any of the bullshit people complain about AND everything works.

I’ll play Fallen Order on Linux (shader issue on Windows causes stutter while they’re loading while the game is running) and will probably uninstall it and just continue using Windows.

Thanks for the explanation!

They’re suing in French court.

Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted/backed up, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

Same for all free games they give, it’s up to the user to give the publisher their email

Boowoo, shut up if it’s all you have to share, no one cares

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

Need me to go on?

If in your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.
