I downloaded Fallout 3 through gog.com and as soon as I figured what the hell I was doing, I got it downloaded and playing great. I’m on a Chromebook Plus with an i5 and Iris Xe graphics. When I go to download NV, it prompts me to a message that tells me Wine is preparing a 64 Bit download . Shouldn’t it be 32 Bit?...
There are reasons to use this service that are completely legal. They should sentence the people laundering money, not the people providing privacy tools that happen to be misused.
I’ve been trying various Linux flavours every year for 10 years or so. The last year I tried Arch, then EndeavourOS, which has been my most successful Linux exploration I’ve ever had, and given me huge hope. However, there are still a few things preventing me switching it to my default OS....
1 and 2: Just pirate. Any company that disrespects the user by enforcing DRM like that deserves to lose out on money.

Personally I think the risk is tolerable but it’s obviously never 0.
I wasnt considering buying any more snoy games after this whole debacle, and I certainly won’t if they make their own launcher. But unfortunately the average gamer just doesn’t care :(
I can understand it from the perspective of the developers who need to implement all this crazy tracking/advertising/graphics functionality, but imo a vending machine should only do three things:
Let me see what is available (preferably using glass)
Accept payment
Give me what I paid for
Vending machines have done this for decades without requiring an operating system. Keep it simple!
One thing that leaps out at me about this ruling is that courts understand the internet a lot better nowadays. A decade or so ago Sony would have probably gotten away with the argument that Cox profited from the users’ piracy; nowadays judges themselves use the internet and are going to go “lolno, they probably would have...
