Never been an issue for me debian+kde+steam it started right up the first time i tried. No tweaking needed.

There is a wast difference between the internet. That gives you access to information. And social media with algoriths fine tuned to keep you there as long as possible.
Cameras everywhere is for sure a disaster for anyones sanity and development.

Adding before:2023 to the query helps on older stuff. For new stuff i have no idea, all i get is a torrent of SEO AI worthless junk.

Closing to 6k. There is just infinite replayabillity. Then you add mods, and friends.

Absolutely. I have not pirated a single game since I got steam. Before that it was almost exclusively pirated games. no shops close by, and buying on mail order took FOREVER! and was very much hit or miss… And impossible to return.
I did buy most of the games that i enjoyed, and played a lot. Since i wanted the box on the shelf. but i still played the pirated version. since that was much easier then puling out the book and look at the 5th word on the 3rd paragraph on page 121 for the copy protection. :)

having a company that is not actively trying to exploit us is surprisingly refreshing.

do not give them good ideas. I need steam to have all games since it is the only one with any good linux support. it does not matter if EGS have free games if i can not play them.

for sure! steam liberated my machine from a windows dual boot partition. and made me go 100% linux all the time. gratitude is not really strong enough. it is more like when you have been captured, and then set free.

Had the nic set to that. Any package on the network. Did not matter who it was for. If the nic saw it, it would wake the machine up.

But there are so very many games that do work. That those that do not, i can easily ignore.

Used to do that for decades. Nowadays with steam i just return the game.

Factorio and Rimworld have kept me entertained several thousand houers each. Hands down the best value for money on steam. Even beat out free to play games ;)

Why you should write rm /path/to/dir -rf ; and not rm -rf /[cat jumps here]

I post about 1/20th of the replies i write.

Should never have gotten down from the trees

There are some links describing the projects working on this at : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity

So facinating, even gravity is affected by those 8 minutes. Iow we would rotate around a missing sun, for 8 minutes, same as with light.
This is all also related to relativity, that someone else wanted to talk about in this post, i am just saying ;)

This is so true, and while i have never discussed the concept. I definitly adjust my answer based on the recipient.
From the name of the hill my house is on, for locals. Via hamlet,muncipiality, county,region. Up to : “the western part of norway, with the fjords and glaciers”, to forigners. I have never had to go for northern europe, or northern hemisphere. I am looking forward to the day i need “the third planet of the sol system”, that will be an interesting day.
