That sounds better - now I just wish those were the games that I play.

...which is a completely valid point if you don't mind not playing those games. But if you do want to play them (for example because back when you got to love them, they didn't have this), you have yourself a dilemma.

Unless you want to play against a shitload of cheaters every day (ruining the fun whenever you have 30 minutes to wind down), your game should have a decent enough AC to detect when someone loads a cheat, including the lowest level. And guess who doesn't have a problem with 3rd party programs accessing ring 0.

So there you have it, you either stop playing all multiplayer games (not even just competitive ones!) entirely, or stick with Windows and all the awful things that come with it. I've been wanting to switch to Linux for the past 20 years, have been playing various multiplayer games over the past 2 decades, and it was always either the AC or just the sheer incompatibility (especially in the earlier years). There was even a time when people could happily cheat on Linux and get away with it in Counter-Strike: Source, because VAC simply didn't work on Linux.

And the position of that literal oil (and fat) painting.

Thanks for the clarification. So it's probably the first point.

I know about blocking communities, and probably will do - I just feel that blocking a community is a bit overkill, especially if otherwise I don't mind seeing posts from them, just not that many. Also, if I want Lemmy to grow, prematurely blocking communities before things could get traction seems somewhat conterintuitive to me. I also use the Subscribed feature when I get bored of random/spammy content, but my curse is that I'm interested in niche, slow communities, so I can choose between these two.

It's alright, the rest of my problem is not relevant here anyway, and you answered my question, so thanks a lot!

Hmm, can you give me an example or two to those pidgin phrases? Are they akin to car<->carro?

The accent on the German is rather thick, though.

Spoken: 3 at best. Counting to 10: 6.

Not just counting, but sometimes I might say a word or a phrase in another language because I find it sounds humorous in the moment. Poor Italian gets ridiculed the most 🤌🤌.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the circumstances. It puts stuff in a different perspective.

Making them resistant to HIV. How does he test it whether they actually are...?

Nice, we also have the backline dodgeball thing with teams!

Wait, does it mean that your version of dodgeball is literally 'burnball'? Or does poltto have two different meanings? Either way, I love the word already.

Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.

...and on top of that, about ~4372 other employees will have to deal with constant free biscuit requests from greedy people who have heard about this.

I hate the vile stuff that the Hungarian government has/had been doing in the past fifteen (!) years, but if there has ever been a chance to overthrow them, it's now(ish). I know that a year is still a pretty long time, and I'm sure they will switch to overdrive now that they feel it might be their last year, at least in the 2/3 majority, but there's another election coming in April 2026. I would hate it if the country got expunged juuuust before a possible change of regime, even if that change probably won't be Earth shattering.

I just hope the EU comes up with some creative solution to keep these evil autocrats at bay for the "little" time until then.

Oh, so THAT'S why they brought Excel into this! I didn't make the connection and just thought Excel would even consider a glass of water a date.

Thumbsticle?

Virgin Cola?

I'm sure there's one weirdo responsible for ~70m liters, peeing at the floor at every opportunity.
