Wait, so let me get this straight… this AAA studio, which is a subsidiary of Tencent, which sells microtransactions for sometimes up to nearly $100, and which has incorporated gambling elements and predatory design in their games for years, has now allowed sponsorships with gambling companies in their esports scene? Color me surprised!

Oh, but it’s really for the benefit of the community and players, since it would happen anyways. And It’s certainly not primarily motivated by the huge profits it could rake in. Right. How noble of them.

I’m sure they have a history of treating their players and employees very well, too.

I haven’t heard of any such cases, but it is a smaller pool of users. Also, many desktop Linux users know more about using a computer than other operating system users, since it’s less common for Linux to come preinstalled. So that may affect it, too.

I imagine vulnerabilities with the Linux kernel or common utilities do apply to desktop users as well, which is a good reminder why staying up-to-date is important. But to my understanding, exploiting remotely would need a way of sending data to the target. And most desktop computers won’t have ports open to the internet for anyone like servers will.

I know that Wayland’s design does make it more difficult for a user-mode program to act maliciously, like as key-loggers or reading the clipboard.

Do they use much electricity/processing power when they are idle, or only really when they’re being queried?

inconsistency with icons and design in some areas

Sounds like a straw man argument. What Linux user would cite that as a complaint against Windows?

(I use arch btw)

Oh… I’ve never once considered that. But that’d make sense as to why it only recently picked it up— historically, the profanity filters were super easily bypassed. Maybe they tightened them up!

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.

Same— my understanding is that there’s now no option to play without making one, which for some countries and territories is not even an option, making the game unplayable for them.

It’s finished!

The creator of the model replied below with links! I highly recommend this model if you need a stylus, it’s working great!

I should’ve been a bit more careful with where I put support material— one side of the bridge part is a bit bumpy. But it still works, so I can’t complain too much. Also, the bottom part where it connected to the raft is a bit rough. Might be worth lightly sanding it down so it’s a nicer finish when stashed.
