I booked direct on Ryanair.com and they refused to refund our tickets because the flight technically ran even though we weren’t legally allowed to leave our homes. Lesson learned, I’ve got travel insurance now


Have you tried a credit card charge back?


Did it on debit card, another lesson learned.


Not nearly enough randomly capitalised words


Thought this was a browser for my e-reader


I won't be surprised if B&N does a C&D on this particular trademark infringement.

Nook is a well-known brand in consumer tech, ereaders aren't that far removed from Web browsers, Nooks have a Web browser, and B&N also has a "Nook for Web".


I was hoping for an Animal Crossing themed browser where instead of an AI assistant, we'd get Tom Nook.


I still want something constructive to do with mine - what a sweet bit of hardware.


read books?


Same.


I mean - Tailscale is a remote access tool...


got to prevent you from looking at competitors


I played with HaLow for a while but the only stuff I could get here in the UK was some undocumented crap from AliExpress, anything more robust looking only seems to work in the US. A shame because it’d solve a infrastructure challenge I have to juggle each year


That’s like the average salary here.


For some games it is


Vote with your wallet.

Yeah, I know this sounds stupid, but I mean, the majority of games are there now.

The signal is all that's needed, I work in AAA games and we shifted heaven and earth to make Stadia work. Which means somewhere in Ubisoft there is a fully functioning version of Watch Dogs Legion and The Division that run natively on Linux.

And the answer was the same when I asked why we didn't release it: we don't see a market, and we don't want to maintain another channel of support.

Right now it's not costing them any meaningful sales, so why would they put the investment in?

The problem is with competitive games that require an anti-cheat kernel driver.


EAC works on Linux.


I'd say this is a bit of a stretch when 54-60% of games are broken or explicitly unsupported. https://areweanticheatyet.com/breakdown


There's an option inside EAC to enable linux support.

I don't really care how many games have actually enabled it, I know it exists.


There are so many good games on GOG that I have no chance of playing them all in my lifetime.


Provider spelt wrong in the opening paragraph?


They’re bankers, not writers, man.


Thanksgiving would be deadly, says turkey


..nd there it is, turkey-brain. Just like that, back to knee-jerk binary [0,1].


I have had multiple people scream at me on the phone for daring to suggest that a new person working needs their own email account and it will cost about £4 ($5.30~) a month


Going from $0? That isn't surprising.


you work for the wrong people


If only life could be so easy that we could all avoid working for the "wrong people".
