As we recently discussed here, it won't allow that, whether because they didn't get the rights or because they decided not to do so. I would of course bet on the former, because R* wouldn't want the competition and they are not run by idiots.

Anyhoo, I wonder whether this version of the game will work on Linux. They have historically had a lot of problems with cheaters, which I have both been harmed by and benefited from at different times — when the big cash cheat was happening, they did take away most of the money that was given away, but they let people keep the vehicles and properties they'd purchased. They might well be tempted to utilize kernel-level anticheat, and I don't have Windows on my primary PC at all any more so that would be a hard deal breaker.

R* doesn't need my money, but anyway, they certainly won't get it if I can't run the game. The game probably won't run worth a shit on Steam Deck no matter what, and I imagine that the predictable effects on their decision making process won't be beneficial to me.

My epitaph once Krasnov sells us out to the Neo-USSR.

I had a coworker at Cisco in Santa Cruz (formerly the office was TGV, which they bought) who commuted from San Francisco who was an intern who absolutely did the work of a "real" employee. However you think the world works, whatever the laws are supposed to accomplish, this is reality.

It didn't eliminate either of those jobs.

You'll know eventually.

That's not how anything works.

NEVER AGAIN was supposed to be FOR ANYONE.

If they can do it to the Palestinians, they can do it to you.

This all works in exactly the opposite of the way in which you want people to think it works.

Why exactly is that? How do you profit from promoting genocide?

Also Trump is wrecking the economy and nobody wants to acknowledge that

Because it just is not true. Median household incomes in the US are just steadily rising (inflation-adjusted) since he took office in 2024.

If you were an NPC, how would you know? Besides your comments being posted as AC, I mean.

I didn't and don't but of course their excuse will be that this is the transitional period, and we have to wait for those jobs to materialize.

And there is a kernel of truth to it, in that if it were going to happen, it would take time to happen completely.

Ofc it's not going to happen, this is fundamentally different from prior shifts and it will only result in a net decrease. This would be a good thing if the wealthy didn't hoard all the wealth... Such as if we had the balls to take it. But, too many simps.

Run yourself *on normal hardware*? Yeah, there's a pretty big gulf between that and a frontier model.

Mozilla hasn't been an industry leader for many years. Chrome now dominates. Mozilla has tried everything but giving us what we want.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

What the actual fuck, I wrote penal and Google autocorrected it to penalties. Hey dickheads, penal is a word too

They can have interns, they work without pay, so as long as they don't assert actual ownership they could have people playing slave.

Only governments and their contracted penalties facilities are actually allowed to enslave people in the USA.

They want all interactions to be useful for training so they are just banning unuseful interactions. They think that's going to get them out of their slump.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.
