I suppose it’s possible to build a system that would let you specifically allow a VPN IP to be green-listed on your account, but you’d probably have to allow it by signing in from a known good IP first.

I think it seems like lot of work for something that isn’t really private and is still probably vulnerable to exploit.

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.

This stuff really doesn’t happen that quickly.

The push to live services, online DRM, microtransactions, DLC and other such things is because they have identified that there is more money to be made as a ‘server operator’ than a ‘game developer.’

They don’t really care about getting paid for the game, they’d rather give it away for free if they can make more money off controlling the servers.

It’s a quote from the OP article.

By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed almost 1,200 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.

This doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of research but it might be the first time I’ve heard about this charter.

Generally people are worse with computers than you think.
A computer preinstalled with Linux is definitely more likely to confuse than you imagine

The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.

With an estimated 8,000 children killed in Gaza, and many tens of thousands more injured and orphaned, the UN children’s fund has said the Gaza Strip is “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”.

Steam controller support is so far ahead of everybody else I find myself launching other games/launchers through Steam just to get it.

Tried to get my controller to register in Jedi Fallen Order and the solution was not to add the game but the EA launcher itself as non-steam game.

non-Valve games were starting to depend on having Steam installed

The problem was/is their policy of allowing the non-Valve games to also require their own storefront launcher alongside Steam.

There was that one dark period of “Games For Windows Live” on Steam, but those issues are pretty rare nowadays.

Just cause you paid for something doesn’t mean it’ll be on their servers forever.

The concept of ‘buy’ is nebulous when it’s something you can’t hold in your hands.

It’s mostly up to which manufacturers allow boot loader unlocking.

The pixels are somewhat a continuation of the nexus line which were more developer centric.

I used Signal since it was called TextSecure and I don’t think I ever successfully got another person using it.
Eventually uninstalled it because it was just largely useless, anytime I messaged a friend who seemed to be using it they were more confused than anything.

You can run Windows on the Steam Deck but I’d argue you also introduce a bunch of new problems.

“We are sorry for the fact that the game didn’t meet the expectations of the majority of the players,” reads a statement from Mytona, noting it’s an investor in the game.

“Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We’re in contact with Fntastic regarding the future of the game.”

Answer to those who ask for a refund. Mytona and we’re currently working with Steam to allow refunds for any player who chooses to request one, regardless of game time. Fntastic received $0 and will receive nothing from The Day Before sales.
