Fun fact: humans are actually bioluminescent, however the amount of light produced by our skin is lower than what humans can see!

"Ubisoft may also request that Microsoft perform technical modifications,including to ensure that the Activision Games support emulators like Proton"
But proton isn't an emulator? It's an API converter

What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?
It's not so much about you as an individual, it's about catalogueing and manipulating trends in our societies that can be used to make profit, for example Meta spends a lot of money and time manipulating election outcomes in favour candidates that will keep their taxes low through manipulating their content algorythm in favour of their desired candidates.

Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase?
It's not a deterant against suicide, it's to stop suicidal people taking out life insurance to give their loved ones a pay off before they top themselves.
Insurance is a bet between Client and Insurer that the client will pay more in before the insurer has to pay out.

All games using a proton version higher than 5 are failing to launch
Ok so I've fixed it, appears to have been an issue with the tool having come from my backup rather than installed directly.
couldn't uninstall due to "missing shared content" so i deleted the file and verified integrity so it downloaded them - everything is now running perfectly, tried a few different games and they are working great.
cheers for all the help!

The UK tries, once again, to age-gate pornography

From my understanding that was actually the EU and the UK just fallowed suit because we're dependent on EU supply chains.

The only reason it's Wednesday, is because we all agree it is
If you want to dive into that sort of thing i recomend looking into social constructivist theory, nuts to realise just how much of everything we live our lives by is really a product of people agreeing to do so rather than any struct objective measure.

Debian for Linux gaming?
From your other comments you seem to have a system simmilar to mine. I use mint, and i'm very happy with it, feature rich and ubuntu based, without the features you dislike like snap.
Only real step requirs for gaming has been installing some overclocking and heat management stuff like corecntrl, as well as some 32 bit archetecture stuff to run steam.

Starfield’s player count slips below Skyrim on Steam, just two months after Bethesda’s ‘biggest launch ever’
I like Starfield, but there being no way to play it aside from being a member of constelation is an RP killer, plus the lack of a survival mode

Question for the people who play Victoria 3.
I've played both and tbh i prefer 3 by a long mile.
It's political system is far more realistic and flexible, and while there are some arguements for the Vic2 economy over 3, i still prefer 3.
I get why people have criticised the warfare system in 3, but lategame it is so much better not having to micromanage 100+ armies.

Is it weird that I (M27) am pretty good online friends with an M41?
Roughly the same age as you with a pal round that age as well. I wouldn't worry about, i certainly don't, you're both adults.

Does anyone actually use LibreOffice?
Used it extensively while i was doing a degree, zotero is just far superior to word's inbuilt reference manager.

Any gamers on here? What are you playing?
Mostly Rimworld, which must be real underwhelming for my beefy machine.
Underclocking both my CPU and GPU and still getting 165 FPS.
