Comment Re:"Mac users can try running in Windows" (Score 1) 100

Well, true, the actual cost involved in a Windows license may not be the prohibiting factor.
But I use Mac because I specifically despise Windows, and I don't want to spend all my time setting tinkering with BSD/GNU/SystemD just to get it working after the last update.

So why in the name of all that is holy do they think that running Windows is something that we need to have pointed out to us as an option?
They are idiots.

Comment Yeah, that'll get them new subscibers (Score 1) 150

"Cracking down on password sharing" sounds like a perfect way to get more subscribers, and with the impending collapse of streaming services following every single publisher starting their own service, people are going to go back to 00's pirating. Five hundred streaming services with all exclusive content is just as bad as when there was no services and only pirating as an option. How is that better for you, business geniuses?

Also, while the user has bought the game and should absolutely have the right to run it as he/she sees fit, access to the multiplayer servers services and playing in a shared online space with other users comes with certain responsibilities, such as not cheating. I say flag the cheaters and let them play with other cheaters, forever.

And yes I know that this has very little to do with the case of Linux users being erroneously flagged as cheaters, but if you decide to run the game on unsupported platforms and/or with unsupported utilities/mods, you are on your own. Multiplayer is kind of like driving on a public road, we all go through mandatory car inspections and if you mod your car you can not expect to be allowed to drive it on public roads anymore (without re-inspection).

I think they could hear me swear on the other side of the village.
Then I started up Firefox only to notice that Tridactyl is no longer available in the extensions database.
Finally installed the beta from file from GitHub, but boy, was that a shitty day.

What is going on with all the browsers??
