A bunch of people set up public bulletin boards, and agree to copy whatever gets posted on one of them to all the others.
Click bait titles are click bane to me.

From the founder and CEO:
protestors are “probably not moving the needle at all,” he says. “Nobody is going to listen. It’s a bunch of noise. And don’t be surprised when people are going to investigate you because you made their life difficult.”
"hey man, get off social media. Go buy a lake house, get a beach house."
From the president and targeting instructor:
“Why not take advantage of information the bad guys share willingly online? After all, they have friends lists, too,”
So this company is run by rich men who take tax money to persecute taxpayers, and view people exercising their right to protest as "bad guys". I guess it shouldn't surprise me that this is the kind of garbage that modern law enforcement agencies hire to help them oppress citizens.
It's embarrassing that we still haven't put a stop to government overreach through the loophole of private companies doing the dirty work. I would like judicial reform, please.
Pro tip for stainless steel: Bar Keepers Friend is an inexpensive, mildly acidic cleanser that makes short work of even the toughest cooked oils stuck to pans. Just be sure to wash & rinse afterward, so residue doesn't end up in your food.
You should surrender your rights because...
- ~~Communism~~
- ~~Terrorism~~
- Child Abuse <-- You Are Here
Indeed, mass media influence toward giving up your rights is very common, especially in democracies. (Ironically, these are often the same rights that are necessary for a healthy democracy.) It has been going on since long before I was born. See also: propaganda, engineering of consent.
Disclaimer: I haven't looked at the code.
It looks like Nvidia's proprietary driver was caught circumventing measures that keep proprietary code from mixing with GPL code in the kernel, deliberately violating the kernel's license. The kernel maintainers are responding by adding more restrictions.
Apparently the problem you describe is solved by installing Microsoft Core Fonts, which can be done by running winetricks corefonts.
Or if you're comfortable running third party code, a crack might be a more convenient solution:

Getting direct3d and vulkan working with actually useful performance
They definitely spent an ass-load of money on that
[citation needed]
I'm not aware of Valve or Doitsujin ever revealing how much they paid him to make DXVK. I assume they paid him reasonably well, but I doubt it was an ass-load.
the fact that Wine was around for 25 years before that just goes to show that no one else was willing to do that.
Or maybe that Wine was a lot more work than the direct3d-to-vulkan shim that was done mainly by one person (now two people).
Valve definitely helped by funding a few key projects, and packaging them in Steam made them convenient to use, but I think exaggerating their role unfairly diminishes the much larger body of work (done by other people) that makes it possible at all.
Proton stands on the shoulders of giants.
Some people find endless combat boring, and would like some multiplayer chill time for a change.

I struggle to think of a buyer that would be worse for the players than Tencent.
On the bright side, Hasbro's last big D&D blunder prodded the community into developing alternative gaming systems and licenses, so I think we'll be in good shape to carry on without the brand if this happens.
