Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen.

That’s why you ride bikes, d’uh!

And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.

It’s all hypothetical until it isn’t anymore. You’re literally the slowly boiled frog.

They said that about steam and look at us now.

It’s people flocking to it until it’s the only place to release games that is gonna force you.

No. Common sense has been replaced by the constant normalization of tracking and personalized ads.

Assuming the attacker knows it’s a phrase: The english language alone apparently has some 800.000 words. 800.000^6 = 2*10^35 combinations in a dictionary attack. That’s comparable to 18 random ASCII characters. We might also be using a different language, or a combination of languages, or we might deliberately misspell words.

A long string of random characters will give you more combinations per password length, but there are some passwords you just need to be able to memorize, and I’d say that’s more likely with the 6 words.

What baby? In game purchases? That’s not a baby, that’s a big shit somebody took in your tub. If transparency is too hard to implement, publishers should feel free to get rid of them altogether.

If steam goes under, a significant portion of your steam games won’t launch anymore, period. If GOG goes under, you can still use 100% of their installers, provided you still have them backed up. No, they are not going to be able to do that step for you. Did the store you bought physical games from put your discs in storage for you, so they wouldn’t clog up your basement? Did they give you a new copy if you lost or threw out your disc and then changed your mind?

Until the day after Gabe kicks the bucket.

That doesn’t absolve them.

With the feature removed, websites can act like they didn’t even go against my wishes.

You’re not alone.

I honestly never used open voice chats in games, but I do miss Barrens chat.

Nah. Corporations aren’t all knowing godlike beings. They are run by stupid people who make mistakes, just like us.

Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available. I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.

I don’t understand how people can live like this and not consider emigration.

I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.

The last time I had to troubleshoot windows I was running 98 or XP I believe.

Linux has limited marketshare because of its Marketing.

I think Linux has limited market share because “will software X work on it?” and “are there drivers for hardware Y?” are legitimate questions.

Only 63%?
