So do nothing and continue to financially support something you disagree with? Are you a cuck or something?

Does the US back down? We definitely double down

Yeah he has some shit personally takes and I hate the way he runs his company. He does give pretty decent financial advice though

Brauchli has publicly encouraged people not to cancel their Post subscriptions in protest.

“It is a way to send a message to ownership but it shoots you in the foot if you care about the kind of in-depth, quality journalism like the Post produces,”

The two sentences that made me lol. Of course the consumer is shooting itself in the foot not subscribing to a journal whose integrity is in question after one of the oligarchy decided it needed to suppress an endorsement. If the consumers weren't shooting themselves, who else could it be? Certainly not the great Bezos!

Never heard of it, how is this distro for new users? I run mint for reference, but I'm always trying to learn about other distros.

That's fair that it's mainly in the head of the person in the story.

That being said my partner and I actively point, laugh, and make fun of any cyberturds we see on the road very obviously. I'm sure we aren't the only ones.

I'm aware the Streisand effect is specifically regarding concealing info causing way more attention drawn to it, my point is that highlighting the fact that gamers hate Denuvo and trying to change that fact will most likely only amplify the hatred.

I will be more specific I hate any software that isn't required for a game to work. The reason why I worded it vaguely is because I'm not just talking about DRM, but anti-cheat and launchers as well (even though launchers aren't 3rd party).

As far as metrics are concerned I'm perfectly ok with that, as long as I have the option to opt-in or at the very least made aware of it.

What it really boils down to is I don't want any unnecessary extraneous packages with the software that I actually want. For the most part I avoid games that add these things.

That's why I avoid games with launchers for the most part. I also specified what I meant by third party software, I could have worded that more concisely.

I think them trying to win gamers over is just going to Streisand effect the hatred instead. I don't want 3rd party anything that I don't elect to install, even if it doesn't effect the performance( which I also don't buy).

Mint's sweet I switched from 10 a few months back. Biggest difference is getting use to the different file system, only 2 games have been unplayable (didn't try to make them work tbh).

Ahhh I misunderstood your tone my bad, it's a bit of an emotional topic for me. I've been checking in on friends the last couple days to make sure no one's dead.... I thought you meant that last sentence as an "we're being censored!" Bit
