No thanks, I'll pass.
Hmm. Let's see here...
Steam: 147
GOG: 174
Epic: 286
I've paid for about 2/3 of the Steam games, probably a quarter of the GOG ones, and maybe two or three of the Epic ones.
This keeps getting reposted, and it's bullshit.
Of COURSE Google can do something! They can actually validate claims before acting om them, but thay would require responsibility on their part.
Fuck Google.
No idea what Steam has to say, but I've played more games for longer than Steam has been around, so here's a guess of mine in no particular order:
- Skyrim
- Morrowind
- Fallout (3, NV, 4, London combined)
- Ultima II
- Doom II
- Grim Fandango
We don't.
We really really don't.
Consider the attack that Israel carried out this fall by detonating walkie-talkies and pagers. This wasn't just some illicit code in the firmware or hardware, they managed to hijack the supply chain and hide literal bombs in commercially-produced handheld devices!
Bottom line: If you do not directly control the production chain from chip design and fab to end-user software, you can never be sure.
40 years ago, the legendary Ken Thompsonand Dennis Ritchie accepted the Turing Award for creating Unix. Thompson's acceptance speech Reflections on Trusting Trust pointed out this same fundamental security flaw.
I encourage everyone to read the article, and spread it as widely as possible. It is terrifying and accurate, nearly half a century later.
"Do somerhing."
Kill evil CEOs in the street?
Tax the rich?
Hold the media accountable for slanting reality?
Lock up the fascists?
Apparently they've had two previous accounts banned already.
I feel bad for him. This sounds like probably untreated schizophrenia.

There. FTFY
Because most of the population doesn't know the word, or what it means.
Honestly, it's an 'elite' word and using it will drive viewers away. Sadly.
As Bratt lays out, it is clear that the UCP is going to bludgeon ahead with this stupid and unwanted plan, because it serves their agenda and fuck Alberta's best interests.
So I'm prepared to sign onto whatever formal process needed to oppose this - a lawsuit, a constitutional challenge, protests, whatever it takes for those fuckers to keep their hands off my CPP. The question is, what? What do we do? What's the process?
One thing that I find interesting.
Singh says he will introduce a vote of non-confidence. Is it possible that he'll delay it for a little bit, to support (or negotiate with) the Liberals for longer than anything Poilievre would have planned.
In other words, could it be to push the CPC onto their back foot for a bit?
How would a Conservative government be equivalent to Trump’s Canada?
Because Poilievre is acting just like Trump: Sowing division and mistrust, attacking vulnerable groups, courting extremists, attacking the process of government, displaying willful ignorance of government and the law, reducing complex issues to simple (and wrong) chants, and more.
The Conservatives have set their sights on the first target - trans people - so if they get a majority, watch them strip basic human rights from members of the trans community. After that will probably be abortion; but not banning it of course, just removing any guarantee of access to safe, legal abortions.
Looks like you're off by a year. They stopped taking orders in January of 2024, and the auction happened months ago.
Sad to see them go.
You have spent a solid year mindlessly flogging Bluesky as the saviour of social media, ironically doing so on Lemmy.
Give it a rest.
