Sure, I’ll do that. But you’ve lost 99% of average people when you mention “virtual machine”.

Also at least for mint which I was directly talking about you actually boot via live USB first and have to install from an icon on the desktop so there really is no risk for erasing windows until your well into making decisions. Which again you have to choose to erase windows.

You’re right, but the point I was trying to get across to another layman is you can have windows already installed and not break anything with another install of Linux. Rather than get into partitioning and dual booting.

I made the dive into Linux mint last night. If you already have windows installed you can side load so you don’t have to completely commit right out of the box. I play games that would require windows so this was necessary for me but so far outside of hating middle mouse click to paste and some troubleshooting for my headset (I could hear myself quietly through my headphones when speaking into mic) Linux has been preferable to win11

How do you figure they would go about that?

Banning based of similar IP’s / subscriptions is an easy way to get someone false banned due to their 10 year old and force them to switch to Apple products and an AppleID for life.

They will use every mean available to them to ID and profile you; that’s absolutely core to their multi-billion dollar business model.

They haven’t successfully banned the main accounts associated with those using Google drive for piracy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Based on what? Technically of course all the data points will exist in their system to make those determinations but weather or not they have anything in place or plan to any time soon.

People should find ways to degoogle however and if they are very paranoid about something like this best bet would be to export your subscriptions to a new dummy Gmail just for YouTube.

Exhibit A: see how Google idly fucks with Firefox by getting it to run around in circles the way you might idly taunt your friends cat with a laser pointer

What is this referring to?

The No Use for a Name cover was my first exposure to the song for any punk fans. Unfortunately the Pogues didn’t seem all that well known (or at least discussed/played) in my neck of the woods.

For what purpose would he attach his baby of X to the Twitter he is intentionally trying to kill?

Are you bothered by someone providing more context? What is it you are adding here?

I don’t see it as very anti-consumer that every skin and statrak item has been brought along to the new game. I agree it would be nice to be able to play the old one, but I’d rather the option to torrent old clients and host my own dedicated server on the old one than be forced to upgrade to the new one. They don’t host it anymore, pirate away Who cares?

This release has sucked ass, CS:sources release sucked ass, Condition Zero as a whole sucked ass, and ask anyone old enough, the move to 1.6 from 1.5 sucked ass.

I still expect it to end up a good game, just like 1.6 and source eventually was.

they were never going to be able to release a totally new game without a lot of backlash from the addict skin trading communities. They wouldn’t want to risk their free income from the whales by splitting the player base and eventually shunning the skin investors stuck on the old game.
