Also, publicity is a big factor. You pretty much guarantee some degree of media coverage when you do something like shut down a busy highway. I don't think people consider often enough how important even negative press is in spreading the message.

counterpoint: I believe so

I won't, but I'm sure if you had the excess money to pursue litigation you could at least make my life quite difficult in the meantime.

Trust me, I understand your caution. Safe travels!

I said propaganda isn't necessarily at odds with facts, and for what it's worth I saw the bias reports, but they're talking about Left/Right bias and we're talking about nationalistic bias. Propaganda isn't an inherently left/right concept. There's also no reason to suggest I think "every media fact checker is wrong", you're arguing against something no one here has said.

It's more to the point that a project of this scale and range in the hands of a small group of people is expected to have some shit code somewhere.

I do think it's really okay to speak up there's something you want to say! I really must stress that I only think its problematic if no one else can actually converse because of them and it's a chronic thing.

Have really gotten into Deep Rock Galactic with friends, I really hadn't given it enough of a chance the first time I tried it, it's a really fun game.

I've also been enjoying roguelikes again when I find the time to play stuff on my own.

"Why else would so many businesses overlook a completely free operating system"

Well, they don't. Plenty of businesses use Linux systems. It's not (only) because it's free, though. The issue of licensing often isn't a factor that comes into play over having a system that just works. It's easy to customize, flexible and comparatively secure. Your experiences with Linux are valid, but many businesses and individuals do use it daily and for good reason.

Yeah, Proton has made leaps and bounds the past few years with the sheer amount of time and money Valve is funneling into it. Now you can often expect newly released games to run just fine on Linux through steam, the big remaining hangup being anti-cheat software.

Yeah, but Mint is completely free and doesnt come with much of the software bloat that might be confusing to an older person. It's a simple user experience by design.
