The Alberta premier. This concerns provincial politics, not federal.

As far as I can tell, Carney is not an anti-vaxxer

Man I love that we elected a vaccine sceptic as our premier.

Someone is trying to get an ally against India.

When Gearbox got the rights, I was sure Duke was going to show up in Borderlands, because thats basically the perfect place to put a relic of a character like that.

Have him do the 80s macho-man thing as a side character, and then contrast how much things have changed in the last 30 years for comedy.

There is no story that you could tell with Duke as the main character that wouldn't feel like it was a script written in 1998 just rotting in a warehouse somewhere.

Only sometimes.

Most of the time it's only 33 and occasionally 45.

Setting makes a difference. At daycare, he has other kids to play with and different stuff to drive the trucks over.

Rightsholders have to compete with pirates, but the inverse is true too.

Pirates typically win on price, but if they deliver a sub-par product, or make it more inconvenient to access, then it makes sense to go through official channels instead.

Rather than changing the cell size, just send 3 or 4 copies to the printer. Way faster

The best way is to just backup to multiple locations and actively manage it. RAID at the backup destination is nice because it means that if a disk fails, you don't immediately lose everything there. But if you have multiple places where that data lives then it's not the end of the world to just re-create the backup.

If you want to get into true archival solutions(way more expensive than setting up a RAID) then you're looking at things like M-Disc and LTO tape

Is it possible to have kernel-level anti-cheat in Linux?

Yes, Absolutely. But, people would throw a fit. There is probably no way to opensource it without also making it easier to bypass. There would be a concerted effort to reverse engineer it and remove it from the system while maintaining functionality

Maintainers of anti-cheat software are not volunteers. If there was an order from management to port the system to Linux, it would happen. It's just that with the Linux userbase as small as it is, it's simply not profitable to cater to them.

I think that if it ever happens, there will be a influx of people moving to linux, or abandoning their duelboots

I fully disagree. The thing keeping regular people away from Linux as an OS is not that they can't play some online game with Anti-cheat.

Linux is in a weird place right now. It's actually a perfect fit for non-technical users that use their computers for email, web browsing, and Netflix, but those users don't know what an operating system is, let alone that there are options. More technical users tend to require more specialized applications, and if there isn't a native linux port available, you have to do some research for alternatives, or to find a way to run it in wine.

Windows is shitty, but it's comfortable. And I know that it will run any software I throw at it with basically no research or troubleshooting.
