cultural genocide of the native population, who should be left alone from the apocalyptic fantasies of the evangelicals. Hope the Brazilian comes down hard on these churches

They won't unfortunately. The government is too soft on religious extremists, in fact they're in the government itself all the way to the top.

It's unfathomable that an Australian Feminist organization wields this much power in the U.S. and globally. It seems more likely that this is a front.

tumsfestival · 5 months ago

You're not wrong. I read a couple days ago that this group receives funding from evangelical organizations to do stunts like this. I don't know if the intention is to false flag feminists as responsible, but it sure seems like it.

It's sexual coercion - aka rape.

Rape of who? Pixels?

My god, those poor pixels are being sexually abused!

To expand on this and provide some examples, I've recently played Wuthering Waves, Tower of Fantasy, The First Descendant, Phantasy Star Online 2, Black Desert, Lost Ark, Throne & Liberty, probably others I'm forgetting, all of which contain anti-cheat of some variety and all on Linux.

There are some that don't support Linux and likely never will like Valorant or Call of Duty, and even fewer that dropped Linux support like Apex Legends.

tumsfestival · 5 months ago

Mostly mobile ported gacha and Korean MMOs. It's good that it runs on Linux for you, but most people don't play these games. Most people are interested exactly in the ones you've listed as not supported.

I'm not sure making a list that's been done time and time again here would make a difference. But if you're truly interested, here are my top 3:

- Firefox comes packed with all kinds of telemetry and analytics turned on.

- No workspaces/profiles. I know there are extensions that can enable various flavours of this functionality, but it's just too much overhead to experiment and test every-single-one.

- Widgets! I love Vivaldi's Dashboard for when one needs more than just a homepage.

For me the killer feature is tab stacking. It's crazy that no browser other than Presto-era Opera has this feature, that with workspaces is _so_ useful for tab organization.

tumsfestival commented on US revokes visas of Brazilian judges after crack down on ex-president Bolsonaro nypost.com/2025/07/18/wor... · Posted by u/matheusmoreira

matheusmoreira · 5 months ago

We agree. I consider Bolsonaro a cowardly rat who betrayed everyone who ever supported him. He was in the USA while people were protesting in his name and literally going to jail for him.

He's still the person who managed to revive brazilian nationalism against all odds and despite the hipocrisy. Surely that's not in dispute here?

tumsfestival · 5 months ago

I agree he's the person who managed to give rise to Brazilian fascism, yes. Unless you consider nationalism as the desire to regress back into a brutal dictatorship where dissenting voices get "disappeared", the media is heavily censored and controlled by the state and the government kowtows to American supremacy and interests.

That was a Democrat president.

tumsfestival · 5 months ago

Who cares. Doesn't matter who did it, it matters that it happened and you're about to commit the same mistakes again. It matters that you let this slide just because he's your guy.

I wonder if you'll feel the same when they come for you once they run out of easy scapegoats.

Nintendo has the best 1st party games. They care a lot about making games that are just fun. What does Valve have? Lootbox, gambling ridden, addictive dopamine juicers. Their offering sucks compared to Nintendo.

tumsfestival · 5 months ago

No one is gaming on PC because of "first party" games, and Valve's offerings are literally the whole of Steam with more excellent games you could ever possibly play in a lifetime. Then there's GOG and the other stores. Hell, there are many great games outside any of the major stores. This flimsy excuse only has any sway if all you want to play is the next Mario or Zelda slop, but even then there are emulators.

I use a tracker to try and fight this, showing how many games I've started and also achievement progress in them in aggregate.

But I also buy a lot of books I intend to read later, so I almost think it's inherent to digital copies? The less friction in storing them the easier it is to buy aspirationally.

>I use a tracker to try and fight this, showing how many games I've started and also achievement progress in them in aggregate.

I've tried something similar before and it worked, for a while, but I started feeling the free time I spent gaming at best felt like a chore and at worst like a job. Nowadays I just play what I feel like and don't really bother much with completing games or not, because realistically I never will finish my backlog.
