Out of all the IPs Valve owns, somehow it's TF2 that got a story conclusion and it couldn't have been more perfect.
- just feed the thing to any base64 decoder like cyberchef:

Isn't it just basic problem solving skill? We gonna let AI do the thinky bit for us now?

- > only 8 gb of ram
I still have fond memory of my brother upgrading his windows XP desktop to 1 GB RAM to play BF2142 and I was like "school hasn't even taught me that number yet".
What the hell happened to software development when "only 8 gb of ram" is used sincerely?
- It's both frustrating and all too common to see blatant historical falsehood being casually thrown around as if it's well known fact. Doubly frustrating knowing that in order to rebut such falsehood, you have to either do your own lengthy research to find the evidence of __absence__ (which is a lot harder comparing to the evidence of __existence__), or hopefully someone else already did said research and more hopefully you can unbury it from the increasingly enshittified google search.
And by the time you managed it the falsehood already netted a few dozens/hundreds/thousands more victims in the best case scenario where the rebuttal actually managed to attach itself right next to the falsehood.
Regular folks just can't compete with professional disinformation spreaders and their horde of victims.
- >Generally, my advice would be to stick to country code TLDs.
Why? Unless you're talking about the country code of the same country you are operating in, (mis)using ccTLDs is basically gambling your domain's survival on the generosity of the country or even the very survival of the country itself. See Mali taking back .ml domain for a recent example.
Just stick to .net, .org or maybe .com for stability sake with only slightly higher but capped pricing.
- While it's been improved a whole lot, it's not all sunshine and rainbow as some game companies decided to drop support after they decided kernel anti-cheat is the way (notably GTA onlin & Apex legend).
That being said, I personally use proton compatibility to gauge whether a game is worth my time so I'm not too bothered by this. And I'm constantly surprised by how much the Venn diagram of games that don't run on Linux and games that have off-putting bullshit unrelated to Linux looks like a single overlapping circle.
- I appreciate your effort to reign in some reality here to show how privileged Americans are, but the word of the day is "trajectory" and it's aiming right at bottom right now.
- Judging from the way things are going, what's the difference?
- In the future these kind of "whatabout" comments should be auto-flagged due to how unproductive they are.
- Xitter is the least of the issues considering his tie to China and Russia and the all-you-can-eat buffet happening right now in the US government.
- From my own experience:
1. It makes git diff less noisy when I need to add new element at the end since you don't need to add an extra comma at the end of the now-second-to-last element.
2. It makes reordering the last element a lot more pleasant during development since you don't need to add and remove comma when you are moving the line.
And the same applies (or I wish applies) to SQL. Time and time again I wish trailing comma is a thing in SQL when I'm constructing and testing even slightly more complex queries.
- > But being someone who HATES trump as much as they hate Hamas is a bit lonely
Sometimes I genuinely feel like the world is being shoved into some manufactured simulacrum where we must reside in one of the two arbitrarily binary political camp. You must either be a maga loyalist and bow to the russian overlord, or be a "liberal" and unconditionally accept islamists as victims of oppression and hamas is the final solution.
- > Israel has likely also created multiple generations of anger and hate against themselves
Israel would have created multiple generations of emboldened anger and hate against themselves if they failed to respond to the massacre and mass kidnapping.
- reading the comments gave me a headache...
I used to feel this way until visa/master pulled that project-2025-mandated stunt on nsfw games.
