FYI, subliminal messages, as in "messages that you can't see but your subconscious will be affected by" are not a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_stimuli

I remember watching a science show where someone wanted to demonstrate them, blatantly failed, tried again, failed again, called a psychologist to try better, and failed again. At the end the guy excused himself and said that it must surely be working for everyone but him, for some reason. Except no one actually managed to get it working, the guy who invented the concept later admitted he faked the result.

The developers of what? Is this a project to get Linux running on iPhones?

What did XP do? I've never heard someone complain about it

Looking at the specs, I would guess it is

You can setup a Ventoy USB stick if you want to try multiple options

ublock has filter lists for these things. Doesn't always work but helps a lot.

the nice part is that if you don't ever respond to the popup, they are not allowed to presume you accepted

WHO DOWNVOTED THIS JESUS CHRIST

Looking at the news I would guess American houses are buit mostly out of loaded firerarms coddled together by zipties. And oversized fridges.

They probably gave up on preventing cheat entirely, and are just trying to reduce the amount of cheaters by making cheating as annoying as possible.

I do actually believe them when they say that cheating on Linux can be made significantly easier and more comfortable than on Windows. I think it's a real fundamental issue for Linux, multiplayer games with toxic playerbases can be unplayable due to users being able to do what they want. They would have to make systems to allow for playing in smaller human-moderated servers, or rely purely server-side solutions

It's not proton that is exploited. It's the kernel itself that cannot be monitored by anti-cheats, meaning cheaters could install a modified kernel to mess with the anti-cheat

Is there any country that doesn't work like that?

[–] Qwel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

It's similar in that it has an application launcher at the bottom, a windows-like start menu, and aims to be simple.

Zorin has a modern UI where Mint is more windows-7-ish. They don't have the same file explorer, settings app, app store, generally the core apps are different.

Look they're quite different, it's hard to make a full comparison, just run a Mint .iso in gnome-boxes if you're curious.

People not having as much time to "decide" to go for bad faith is interesting

I wonder if someone made an actual list of observed differences in behavior IRL and online, with the same discussion as input.

I guess people would tend to simply refuse to interact with the discussion, but they would have the same things to say, right? Like, they don't have different opinions online and IRL. If you were giving people as much time and "confidentiality" to think and express their thoughts (which are generally seen as good things), it should look similar. Basically I think the online assholes would also be IRL assholes if you let them talk in similar conditions.

Anyways, there are differences, but I don't see any causes for "don't ever listen to anything due to this"
