Most single player games work well, most multiplayer games don't.
Both are very valid ways to play games, but it can give different gamers very different experiences with what's supported.
My guess is you are thinking more of multiplayer gaming, where as they are thinking more about the singleplayer games.
Elden Ring, Spider-man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Stray, etc all work great on Linux.
Single-player games don't typically need any sort of anti-cheat features, so usually work as expected easily.
Multiplayer games are a whole other issue though, and most of those (imo) do NOT work well on Linux at the moment.
But part of what I enjoy about it is that I can make a make a real difference in building something new and setting direction, and the sense that all of us are in this together.
That's a totally different vibe than when I'm doing maintenance on a 15 year old codebase, with a billionaire second guessing everything I do
But for me personally, there's no way I'd be willing to work there, even for 3x what I make now.
I've worked for egotistical people with unreasonable expectations before, and I'd leave tech before doing it again.
The level of stress feels both artificial and unmaintainable, and it eats at you. I don't need that in my life, and I feel bad for the people who feel like they can't escape it.
I can't vouch for the effectiveness, but googling does show some people report having tried it successfully.
Or is it a new project designed to be backwards compatible?
Do you think you might be able to share some of the forums I could look for additional information? (Either here or through email if that's more comfortable)
I've tried searching and found a infrequently used forum at CanadaVisa, and an even smaller/older one at Immigroup, but neither had much.
I do the same input switching he mentioned, and it works very reliably.
It also has support for pbp mode, where it can display each computer on a portion of the screen.
For people who find themselves in that situation, one practical workaround I've found is using a service like Privacy.com which lets you generate dedicated Visa cards that you can pause or limit charges on

> With iOS 13 and later, you can turn on Silence Unknown Callers to avoid getting calls from people you don’t know. This blocks phone numbers that you've never been in contact with and don’t have saved in your contacts list. If you’ve previously texted with someone using their phone number or if a person has shared their phone number with you in an email, a phone call from that number will go through.
Whether or not you know about a given thing is irrelevant, it's not a contest.
A lot of people don't, and articles to explain it to them are a good thing.
Things like this are really invasive, and not appropriate – just because they've been happening for a while doesn't make it more OK, it's just means they've been getting away with it.
At this price, how do you feel it competes with the Vive Pro 2 and other headsets in that price bracket?
I am absolutely in favor of open protocols, but they are not a guarantee against needing to change ecosystems in the future.
I understand that sometimes people are in an economic situation where they need to make certain choices, but I would be much more likely to move to a different region and have a smaller place to myself.
I don't want people here, unless I explicitly invite them and allow them
Every one one my friends who bought one complains of quality issues, the cars record way too much data, the auto pilot was released before was ready and can't be trusted, and you're not supposed to repair them yourself.
I would much rather pay more a Volkswagen, or any other brand.
I just want a quality product, and that means avoiding Tesla.
I would be much more amenable with the idea of destroying them.
Any trademarks are revoked, any copyrighted works are now PD, etc. Physical assets are destroyed and put in landfills. If they own a building, tear it down, make it a park.
If someone is in favor of being tracked, they can allow it.
Facebook's objection is to letting people know about the tracking, and giving them an easier way to avoid it if they so choose.
You would also need I said if infrastructure servers that can scale to a large number of users for Yum/RPMs, etc.
Then you also need a set of servers for issue tracking and a way to break it out per package.
I wouldn't imagine that it is anything which can't be done, it just seems like there's a lot of little pieces that you would need to set up, and infrastructure you need to run.
The author's recipe does suggest doing exactly that:
Beef Tallow French Fries Adapted From “McMenu: Do-It-Yourself McDonald’s Restaurant Recipes” Yields two medium-sized orders of fries.
2 large russet potatoes
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white corn syrup (Karo)
1–2 cups hot water
6 cups Crisco shortening
¼ cup beef tallow
Salt to taste
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into shoestrings. They should be about ¼ inch x ¼ inch in thickness and about 4 inches to 6 inches long.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Place the potatoes into the bowl of the sugar-water and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. While they’re soaking, pack the shortening into a deep-fryer. If you don’t have a deep-fryer, any sauce pot or dutch oven will suffice as long as you have an appropriate thermometer. Heat on the highest setting until the shortening has liquefied and reads between 375° and 400° F.
4. Drain the potatoes then dump them into the fryer (be careful, it will be ferocious). Nudge them around to make sure they don’t stick to one another. After 1 to 1 ½ minutes, transfer the potatoes to a paper towel–lined plate. Let them cool 8 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
5. While they’re cooling, add the beef tallow to the hot shortening and bring temperature back to between 375° and 400° F.
6. Add the potatoes and deep-fry again for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Again, nudge lightly to keep them from becoming one mega-fry. Remove and place them in a large bowl, sprinkling generously with salt and tossing to mix the salt evenly. Serve hot and enjoy.
I know that's not something you can solve, just unfortunate :(
e.g. "Comcast announces that effective next June, prices will be raised by $30 for all customers.
In order to mitigate this price increase, Comcast is also announcing that low-usage customers who are willing to have a 1 TB transfer cap are able to get a $30 discount."
Since PCs aren't locked down platforms, you can mod games whether they added support originally or not - But on Consoles, only a rare few games support it.
There are ways to jailbreak consoles and add external mod support, but the process is so esoteric and user-hostile that most console games will have few or any mods written.
I am sure many people already know, but just in case-
There is also a dedicated enthusiast who has worked to painstakingly reproduce the model F keyboard, and make them available for sale at https://www.modelfkeyboards.com
The "Standard Markdown" name really implied a degree of canonicity and authority over Markdown, even though it was neither created by or endorsed by Markdown's creator.
CommonMark also only changed the name from "Standard Flavored Markdown" to "Standard Markdown" after sending a copy to Gruber, so I'm sure it at least felt very dishonest.
The new name is clearer, and it's been a settled issue for the last 6 years. I'm not sure why the article would have gone into more detail about it.
