The billionaires are hoping we’ll forget and move on if they prevent discussion because he’s a threat to their power. I’m hoping for a Streisand effect.

While true, he has people with a tech clue in the background, even couch boy has a fair understanding of the basics, and Thiel & Musk have plenty of smart guys on the payroll

I wouldnt buy it until after release given the Denuvo probability. I’d hold off until it’s proven to work and doesn’t break for Linux users. Civ6 currently works as both native linux and priton/windows version on my machine, but I know others have had troubles with the native version. If Denuvo prevents proton running the windows version then many linux gamers may have an issue.

I definitely counsel a wait and see approach.

I have bought civ3 through 6, I’m interested but def not committed to 7 and Denuvo and its personal datagathering is a redline no for me.

YMMV

Here’s the link to the previous post with denuvo as a question

I’d have to go back and find it, but no my recollection was that it was based on an official statement.

Certainly the survey was an official firaxis one.

Yeah previous ones ran fine, however there was a post on here maybe 4 months urging everyone to fill in a survey to convince firaxis not to cut off linux by using a particular anticheat that locks linux out in the new Civ7. I just assumed you were the same guy.

I’d hold off pre-ordering and wait for release as while there are Steam specs like you posted I also found a blurb about a denuvo DRM.

Having said that Steam are pretty good for refunds if stuff doesnt work

Have they abandoned the anti- cheat kernel bollocks that was going to lock out linux users then ?

The Saudis footed the bill for most of that $44bn - most is only out of pocket about $10bn of it iirc.

Fwiw he didn’t actually intend to buy it, he was shitposting and got nailed by the SEC, only THEN did he try to work out what to do with it.

Unfortunately the “what” turned out to be destroying democracy and helping Trump turn the US into a feudal state

Timeshift for configs to a locally attached drive. Home partition to cloud with rsync

Ok, you’ve got me puzzled. What’s a US state named after a UK (or English) queen where cannabis is legal ?

The only female named states I can think of are Georgia, Virginia and Louisiana, none of whom have been Regent.

First sentence of the article

“new default Cinnamon theme coming to Linux Mint 22.1 later this year.”

For me this falls in the category of “sit back and eat popcorn”. Both sides are arseholes I don’t mind which loses, in fact it’s a shame they all can’t lose

Wtf ? On what planet is the BBC “left centre” it is as establishment as it gets

Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way

I can’t work out if this is well intentioned ignorance or trolling, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and a serious answer.

The first point is there are a huge number of threats to privacy and your online and data security from connecting to the internet even in western countries.

VPNs are not just for protection from govt abuse, in fact their efficacy there is far lower than for several other use cases.

If you’re in the US (for example) and with one of the biggest ISPs then every DNS request being made is (was anyway, I assume still is) logged and your internet usage is then sold off to data brokers to profile you.

So yeah, dont trust your ISP, and if you’re dealing with a VPN that wants all that info then find a better one (proton or mullvad for exampke, you can pay with monero or bitcoin or even cash by snail mail)

I have considerably more characters than 6 at lloyds

Most common reason is running out of disk space. Boot from USB and have a check as to whether the update filled up the disk

My motherboard which is only a few years old (2ish?) has serial port pin outs.

You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.

Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox
