I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Sure we can add you on there. I see there’s another post with a pending request, did you want to work together on the community @[email protected] ?

    You can totally have the community and build it up, but for some context on why it isn’t active currently:

    From memory, the r/onguardforthee mods set up the community here during the API migration, but did not have the capacity to keep it going alongside the subreddit. Since [email protected] covers much of the same content, and we don’t have the history that r/canada and r/onguardforthee went through, there hasn’t been that much demand for that community. We also have some existing communities that fulfill the sub-niches, such as [email protected] for memes or communities like [email protected] for political party specific content. You can see the sidebar in [email protected] for a list of those.

    You’re welcome to take over the community and build it in a way that makes sense to you. If you wanted a connection to the subreddit (ex. sister communities), we might be able to put you in contact with the subreddit mods

    Unless someone has more information on this, I’m going to chalk this up to AI-generated rage bait.

    The kitchen area still has the same items on that shelf, there’s an ugly hole where the old CRT TV is (despite the room being “finished” looking), the reflection on the TV is still the same, and the patio turned into an office meeting room. I’m not going to spend time on perspective calculations, but something about the beams on the roof and the placement of the railing look off.

    Unfortunately some of the stuff that allows fingerprinting falls into a convenience vs privacy argument. It allows a website / web app to make changes to display things more appropriately, or have helpful functionality. That’s why when you use a browser that is very strict about fingerprinting, some stuff will break.

    An even simpler example is the screen aspect ratio. On a small screen, you want to use as much of the space as you can, but that information can be used for fingerprinting. This was annoying on browsers like mullvad, before they updated the aspect ratio to something more modern.

    That doesn’t excuse companies that abuse that data for malicious fingerprinting.

    I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.

    The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.

    Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.
