There's the argument to be made that all three were your fault, since you decided to use nvidia on Linux.

Devs from upcoming game WARDOGS (a Battlefield like game) confirmed they’re working on Proton support and will update once it’s ready.

Specifically, it's that linux doesn't allow someone a gilded-path method to ursurp control of your computer like windows does. The 'switch' in this case is turning off where it tries to, effectively, hack your computer to give control of it to the company installing the anti-cheat. We have a name for that type of program- it's called a rootkit, and it's a major security vulnerability that game companies are trying to rebrand so they can save money on client-side anti-cheat instead of spending money on server-side anti-cheat.
For the record, it's a losing battle- client side anticheat will NEVER be reliable- it literally can't, because at the end of the day you still physically have your computer.

FCC abolishes gigabit speed goal, suggesting it is unfair to slower technologies
Reply in thread
640K ought to be enough for anybody.
He was wrong then, and you're wrong that nobody needs gigabit. Stop handwringing for big corporations. This isn't a difficult thing to do, it just makes companies slightly less money. America has some of the most expensive internet in the world, and some of the worst per mb.

Democrats leave White House with no deal
Time can go fuck itself for this bullshit headline. "Democrats leave White House with no deal"?
How about "Republicans refuse Democrat deal, setting stage for Republican Government shutdown"
Or maybe something like "Republicans Refuse To Give Americans Benefits and Medical they Pay For, Govenment Shutdown Imminent"

Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame
Reply in thread
I should note that 30% is incredibly standard in the industry, and Valve offers a LOT more for that 30% than literally any other digital publisher. Physical publishers take substantially more, and the only digital store that offers less is EGS, which is simultaneously absolute dogshite and also has been trying very, very hard to astroturd the '30%' thing for ages.
Nintendo, Sony, and Apple all take 30%. I think MS does as well, but don't quote me on that one.

Biden Stands To Gain Double-Digit Political Support If Marijuana Is Rescheduled, Poll Of Likely Voters Shows

As opposed to the other genocide-supporter that's also a fascist racist?
Primaries and the rest of the year are for voting for and supporting the best possible candidates. Elections are for playing damage control and voting for the least worst option.
Don't let a lack of perfection be an excuse for choose Worse over Better.

American planners: how do make sure oil companies and automakers get even richer?

Other democratic countries all manage to have perfectly fine rail systems, it's not solely the domain of totalitarian governments- just functioning governments.
Much like healthcare, it's literally just the US government that fucks it up.

That's called a death panel. We shouldn't have those, and insurance companies DEFINITELY shouldn't have those.

Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.

The other thing they forgot to mention is that getting Amazon to actually tell you what anything will cost, or a breakdown of what your bill is, is like pulling teeth.

Woman who sued Texas for abortion left state to have procedure after ‘hellish’ week
Reply in thread
They're just going to argue that they didn't deliberately restrict it, they paused it, because she wasn't in life-threatening danger YET.
Remember, the cruelty and suffering of women is the point, they get off on it.

The Supreme Court Has Itself to Blame for Texas Defying Its Orders
The Astroturfing is strong here, does anyone actually believe that liberals are suddenly, with absolutely no warning, crawling over each other to mock his disabilities instead of his decisions, despite never having done so before?
Obvious setup is obvious.

Is it that lime?
Kind of adorable that the last poster's boyfriend knows her well enough to know that she wanted the lime.
I bet he clocked that thing as something they were buying, possibly even before she saw it lol

Modder who accused Palworld of using 3D models from Pokemon games admits that he has faked everything
Hate to break up the bandwagon, but the modder didn't say he faked anything at all. He tweeted that while he originally said that the models were "exactly" the same, he clarified that while they were not precisely 1:1 without any modifications at all, they were still the same model with minor adjustments.
Some other dude then jumped on the tweet and made up a narrative that the modder had faked everything. Then this "journalist" decided to make an entire article about a tweet from some random dude putting words in the modders mouth.
Given the rest of the editorializing in the article, I think we can pretty safely say this dude is coping hard.

In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were being—and found they were making more money per head than Apple, Facebook, and nearly every tech giant out there
Reply in thread
Man, Epic must be patting themselves on the back for all the money they paid getting people to believe 30% was outrageous, because it's paying massive dividends.
It may shock you to know that before Steam, your options were to fuck off or offer your product in a store where you would only get 30% of the profit, with the rest going to the publisher, the retailer, licensing, etc. These days it's closer to 50% for physical copies, and Apple/Nintendo/Sony/etc all standardized with Steam on you getting 70% for digital.
Don't like it? Pull a Valve and make your own alternative that's better. If you build it, they will come... which is why nobody uses EGS.

Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was spied on, harassed by managers, lawsuit claims
Reply in thread
Regardless of if they actually hired a hitman, it's very clear that Boeing harassed and psychologically attacked this man to the point of him ending up dead.
Whether they actually hired a man to pull that trigger or convinced him to pull it himself, legally his murder would be on their hands and they damn well need charged for it.

FBI shuts down corruption group, fires agents after they monitored GOP lawmakers
Once again, the headline gets twisted to the republican narrative,
Anti-corruption. It's an anti-corruption group. The GOP lawmakers are corrupt.
