It’s all information that is given to the player during the prologue, or otherwise vague enough where one can’t reasonably guess the events.

Not unless you point and call it a spoiler.

There’s a portion of the map where you and the gang are wanted dead or alive because of the ferry heist. Entering it for most of the game will get you a maximum wanted level, headhunters will show up, and eventually the game kills you. That restriction is lifted in the final act.

The world opens up once you get out of the snow and settle down in the Horseshoe Overlook camp. You’ll still have linear story missions to do, but you can start those whenever you feel like, and explore as much as you want.

Clone it before the Glowy Boys declare it a weapon of mass destruction and preemptively nuke the repo.

Not as much as you might think. Space launch rockets don’t carry a lot of extra fuel beyond what’s absolutely needed. Even propulsively landed rockets are almost empty.

If you want to be outraged, look at how much carbon dioxide is produced during ascent.

In contrast, the super secret Deadlock has 36k players at this time, with a 64k all-time peak, in the same week that Wukong was released. Something tells me this super secret totally restricted early access might have been a 4D chess marketing move.

I had to do a lot of configuration work on Win10 computers lately. The MMC, Powershell, even Regedit are faster and more intuitive than Settings. It’s fucking ridiculous.

And the fact that Epic couldn’t cobble together a content delivery platform that supported preloading before BL3’s release.

And the fact that they used Steam essentially as an advertising platform until the TOS was changed.

Basically, yes. Xen is a bespoke hypervisor. All it does, and all it can do, is run VMs. There is no host OS – management is done through a privileged VM called dom0. KVM is a part of the Linux kernel. Virtualization is only one of its features. VMs run alongside, and are managed by, the host OS.

F-droid exists as an alternative. Manually installing APK files is also an alternative. You can have a full and complete experience without ever touching Google Play or Google services.

This is why nobody likes stallmanites. You can nitpick as much as you want with that attitude and find something non-free somewhere in the ecosystem, but that does not mean that the entire project is now non-free. Again, you are arguing in bad faith against the first guaranteed freedom of free software.

Please explain why you think they’re endorsing it.

What is a “typical VM”?

Qubes uses the type-1 Xen hypervisor that runs at a similar privilege to the kernel of other OSes. KVM is a type-1 hypervisor implemented as a Linux kernel module. VirtualBox is a type-2 hypervisor that runs in userspace. Of these three, Xen is the most performant hypervisor because virtualization is all it does.

If by “typical VM” you mean a guest OS running inside a window of the host OS, then Qubes will always come out on top because the graphics pipeline is much less of a bottleneck.

You can install and run non-free applications (like games or the nvidia driver) on Linux distributions. Does that make Linux non-free?

I would argue that restricting an OS to run exclusively FOSS code robs the user of the first guarantee of free software: “the freedom to use the program for any purpose”.

Yes, but only begrudgingly.

(edit) oh no, I’ve said something bad about the lesser evil, and the people who have made it their identity to violently cum all over the first thing that isn’t owned by Google are after me. I hope the pipe bomb hitman is at least polite.

Sweden’s just passed it, and Poland is very close to being the third. (edit) 4 hours later, Poland is third past the threshold.

Exhibit one: Aussie wanker yells at tech.

This. I’ve had issues at work while imaging classroom computers where some would finish in ~30 minutes and a few would need hours. All of the computers used Cat6 cables. This being a classroom, and students being absolute wankbags, they kept yanking the computers and kicking the cables, so the wires came loose from the plugs. I later used ethtool to debug the slow computers – the switch would only allow 10baseT link modes.

So it literally is the “music album that comes with a bonus game” joke

Librewolf, my beloved.

I’m staying on dry land until the Factorio DLC is out.

G-hub also doesn’t work on Linux, which is actually a massive advantage. I use Solaar with a couple of shell scripts and it’s amazing. (edit) Actually it’s a Python app, so it might even work on Windows.

I’ve also had to blacklist the HID++ kernel module because high-res scrolling on a loose, mushy ratcheting wheel is awful.
