They already do that. I can't watch YT, Reddit and have trouble logging in to FB. Cloudfare sometimes hits me with a endless captcha too.

I use Mullvad. Nothing of value was lost, and it has tremendously help me with finally stopping waating my time on those services.

It's sad to see that we're heading towards a future where people can't read a text longer than one summarized paragraph, and write anything longer than a sentence without using LLMs.

Children are already skipping learning of very important skills by offloading it to AI in school.

Last time I checked, you cab use old.reddit.com to bypass this login requirement.

Reddit doesn't let me in with ny VPN on, though, so I just stopped using it.

That sounds kinda cool tbh. I'm mostly intrigued about the class system, although I've bever really looked into it.

It sounds pretty similar to Fellowship (although with an RPG part), though, and I'm loving that game.

If I'm getting back to a game with gear treadmill, I can just clean uo my inventory and start the next exoansion with a clean slate.

I have around 70% of the world cleared, several characters leveled to max, but I got through kike half of HoT and a bit of Path of Fire. I opened my full inventory that had a lot of random crafting stuff, consumables a a gew gear sets and I had no idea what's anything for, or what am I even supposed to do next. Did a few quests then gave up in trying to sort it out, since it was just too overwhelming.

I'll probably give it a try again, love thw game.

I've hear good things about GW1, but never got to play it.

GW2 is my top favorite MMO, although I haven't really played much recently, because due to the lack of gear treadmill it's soo confusing to pick it up again when you stopped playing for a few expansions.

Will probably give GWR a try.

Ngl I've been enjoying Pokemon TCG: Pocket.

I don't really play that much, but my partner loves Pokemon and just being able to bond over opening packs each night is a minor fun. Sure, it's just glorified gambling with cute pictures, but that doesn't really matter that much. Setting the focus on collecting instead of playing has been a pretty good decision.

Plus I really like the simplified ruleset if you do decide to play.

This is also my tip of what it could be.

The article doesn't really mention it and only focuses on it providing an incorrect value (150% when it's already at 150%), but this bit that's added as a reader context to the Tweet is even bigger blunder:

The user asked how to increase text size, but Copilot incorrectly advised changing the "Scale" option in Settings > System > Display. This enlarges text, but also resizes UI, apps, and other elements

To change only text size, go to Settings > Accessibility > Text size.

The article does not mention this, but it's also not a correct solution at all for increasing text size (which was what the guy was asking it how to do). From the reader context of the tweet:

The user asked how to increase text size, but Copilot incorrectly advised changing the "Scale" option in Settings > System > Display. This enlarges text, but also resizes UI, apps, and other elements

To change only text size, go to Settings > Accessibility > Text size.

one that would be poorly maintained by both us and EAC due to the low user base.

I'm sure I've been playing a lot of games with EAC, because it's actually one of the few ones that support Linux.

If I'm not mistaken (judging entirely by the RAC popup/loading), from the games I'm playing, Hell Let Loose, Fellowship, Helldivers 2, I think even The Finals used it.

Hell Let Loose wasn't working at first, because you have to check a checkbox and enable Linux support when building, which did take them a while.

So, unless I'm misremembering/confusing it with another anticheat, this is bullshit.

Also "unless you have an in-house anti-cheat team"

You made millions out of your player base. You can afford it. You're just lazy.
