This is a non-issue. If you're a gaming company in the era of Proton, it makes more sense to just focus on Windows issues than to open yourself to support requests from people running any brand of Linux. Proton is just so much easier to target than standalone Linux and you can serve the Linux community / Steam Deck users without needing any actual expertise.

Use the 'scaled' sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.

It only looks that way if you're dumb. There are only two types of society in this world: racist, and racist but trying to deal with it.

It's why I have a lot of schadenfreude for Sweden/Scandinavia as well. Enlightened multicultural social democracy for everyone... Until migrants show up with the wrong race/religion then suddenly a fascist contingent of your population materializes and there's a "security crisis"

This sounds like a great beta canon novel plot.

Any billionaire would take this deal. The hit is in imaginary money (i.e. stock/corporate assets) that won't affect their daily lives and in return they get unspecified favors from the (other) oligarchs.

Platoon is my favorite as well. Love the contrasting cultures of the soldiers, think it really reflects where America was at on the war (old school, liquor drinking "patriots" backing violence vs. pot smokers just trying to get home alive). Oliver Stone is also an actual Vietnam vet too, Charlie is basically a self insert if I remember correctly.

I agree. I have become more amenable to things like Flatpak or Podman/Docker to keep the base system from being cluttered up with weird dependencies, but for the most part it doesn't seem like there's a huge upside to going full atomic if you're already comfortable.

Light speed is a "you must be this clever to participate" barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that's all. Even if it's not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.

Raised by Wolves had a great intro theme and art style.

I would list the great Star Trek opening themes, but honestly they are long and can be a bit much when you're on your like eighth episode in a row.

Police Union: How could you trample on the sacred rights of the police to escalate any situation into multiple fatalities?

Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!
