To be fair, I don’t think Vance got consent from the couch either

To be fair he’s the Heritage Foundation’s guy to make sure that a Trump Administration actually gets Project 2025 work done. I forget what position he previously held with the Heritage Foundation but its pretty dang obvious that’s the whole point of selecting him for Trump’s VP

If Microsoft makes good on their threats to cut off all kernel-level access to third party applications, that might help with that

Oh yeah I would never browse the internet unprotected by an adblocker, but knowing that normies are feeling this way now too? That's something else entirely

I mean, the best public health alternative to water fluoridation would be to impose limits to how much sugar is allowed in foods and force changes in marketing, since sugar consumption is one of the biggest causes of dental problems

Imagine dying for $250 or so

Biggest thing I learned from that article is that over 1/3 of users use an adblocker. I did not know adblockers had become so prevalent amongst normies

I've been slowly reading through rimworld and honestly I love how Pratchett balanced out the existence of magic by making it such a pointless persuit that wizards are basically just beurocrats

If it's a game like an MMO (which several on that list are) they'd have to publish the server software in order to avoid fully killing the game. And to publish the server software that was only ever expected to run in their own datacenters they'd then have to publish documentation, dependencies, etc. and this is all assuming that it can be contained in a single installer for a single machine without relying on additional services they host, and assuming it has reasonable system requirements for average users to self host.

That's also assuming playing an MMO alone/with only 1-2 people doesn't suck. Play some 2009scape single player without adventure bots. It feels lonely as all heck

Plus there's all of the legal and PR hurdles to ensure you're not exposing yourself to undue risk.

Basically a million reasons for a company to not spend a thousand work hours ensuring their crappy MMO (I've tried out a couple of the listed MMOs, they were unsuccessful for a reason) can continue to be played after they've divested from it

However, that’s not the only way to use Secure Boot; I enroll my own certificates in addition to Microsoft’s, allowing code that I sign to be booted into. This requires some UEFI setup once.

Do you by chance have a guide or documentation you followed to do this that you could link?

I don't have much advice to offer, but I wish you the best

I do have a friend who self medicates with marijuana and CBD products for pain management. They have a number of undiagnosed and late diagnosed health problems they're working through that cause different kinds of pain. Depending on local legality and availability that could be an option. Just keep dosage extremely low of you've never tried it before, as in single digit milligrams low dosage as the side effects of too high of a dose can be unpleasant
