We don’t do the slippers thing but here in Canada we don’t wear shoes indoors either. I shake my head when I see people in American TV shows laying on a bed with their shoes on lol.

Good to know it’s easier! I assumed it’d be safer because Linux generally is lol. Presumably because Denuvo is kernel-level and Linux doesn’t let it fuck about with the kernel or something like that?

I’m an introverted person who finds people exhausting, and I’m around people all day long. I hit some kind of point of extreme burnout about three years ago and things never let up, so I’m functional pretty much all the time but if I get any peace and quiet for more than about 30 seconds I just pass out indefinitely until someone wakes me up again lol.

I kind of do that too, only I don’t start from the start each time. Mine’s just an ongoing thing that’s been going for years now.

I saw someone doing it at a big film festival once, for a preview screening of a huge movie that was still months from release. The director of the movie was in the audience! The audacity lol

Can confirm for the Steam Deck! Not that it supports it explicitly, but Valve doesn’t really seem to care what you do with your hardware lol.

The only limitations are that it’s Linux, so you might run into some trouble with Denuvo/Hypervisor and stuff like that. HV cracks allegedly work on Linux now, but I haven’t tried it yet.

I like the Wombats version too.

Oh and Heart’s cover of Stairway to Heaven (not 80s or 90s but still a banger)

I like Denzel Curry’s cover of Bulls on Parade.

They do a good Sheryl Crow one too!

I was looking at IVPN. I still have some research to do but I haven’t found anything sketchy on them so far.

This makes me feel old lol. I used to pirate VHS tapes and games on floppy disk, where you’d also get a photocopy of the pages of the manual that had the random words that the copy protection asked for. Heck, when I was I kid I remember my dad having pirated Spectrum/Commodore games that were copied from an audio cassette.

You can apparently 3D print a record, although it’s almost certainly not worth the effort.

Yeah we had a sweet deal before and we pissed it away. I don’t see why we should get the same terms if we rejoin. That’s just the cost of being stupid IMO

I suspect the ideal outcome would have been to have Leave almost win, like if it went 52-48 the other way. That way they could still keep saying it’s “what the people want” and keep using it as a wedge issue, but without having to actually do anything.

Bulgaria’s tourism minister must be shitting it right now though lol. “We have to host WHAT next year?”

Also if you saw all the Moroccanoil sponsorship all over Eurovision this year - let’s just say that company is not Moroccan

I use a yubikey on my laptop, but I use it to make it even harder to log in. It’s set to challenge-response so you have to have the key in and enter a password to unlock LUKS. Bit overkill but it was more just to see if I could do it lol

We had a little pirate movie ring going in college - this was in the UK in the 90s and there were certain films that were banned that you couldn’t get, like Clockwork Orange, The Exorcist, Reservoir Dogs etc. Someone somehow had access to Swedish satellite TV and so had shitty VHS copies of them with Swedish subtitles, so we had a counterfeit ring going that passed around 3rd-generation VHS copies of all these banned films.

Then DVD arrived and all these movies were just released on regular DVD so it destroyed our whole operation lol. The Exorcist was the first movie I bought on DVD.

We didn’t really have internet access when we were at school but we’d coordinate days where someone would bring in the floppy disks for something you wanted and you’d bring in a stack of blank disks and copy them on the school computers lol.
