That's the National Defense Sevice Medal

It is awarded for service during a time of war. It was awarded for periods that included the War on Terror, Vietnam, and Korea

Yeah. I'm not sure that this has changed much.

I suspect that was a large part of what drove the excitement for something like Valve's Proton. It was supposed to make it easier for studios to make games available across platforms, because they would. "just work" without having to put special effort in.

This sounds like the same sort of "We found out that the cost is not actually 0, and we want out. We can't say that though, so it's your fault"

They may well be lying about their reasons/justifications, I don't have any way to know one way or the other.

This just isn't a new thing. Companies fave been blaming the high cost of supporting the relatively small number of users on an "alternative" OS for a very long time. Unfortunately, I think that as long as desktop Linux is in the single or low double digits of percentage of users, this is something we're going to keep hearing.

A company is unlikely to do a thing if it's cheaper to not do the thing.

Assuming that there really is significant cheating on Linux clients, this can just be the company saying that there are not enough users to make development of more robust anti-cheat cost effective.

This is basically the same argument that software and hardware vendors have used for decades for why they won't support Linux

I don't have any experience wit these pens, but based on this post it seems that you should be able swap in a #6 sized nib.

That's the reality of public school teacher pay all over the country.

The national average is under $70k

Not a big gamer, myself, but it seems like Valve has done a lot of work to make many (most?) Steam games run well under Linux.

Drivers have come a long way, and a lot of things just work, but it can definitely depend on what hardware is in your system.

I think they mean that she is taking the fall for the "unknown" person she "bought" the gun from.

Implying that she was holding the weapon for someone

I've also seen the top image blurred in my feed, but additional images on the post show unblurred

It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

I think that "wipes out" here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone
