RocketWerkz is an indie dev with, from what I can find, 64 employees. I wouldn't exactly call that corpo material.

I have the exact same history with that site and its... creativity when adding stuff to my household download history that I know for a fact no-one in my household would be downloading. Safe to say it's extremely unreliable.

Never should have had it

In a twist of fate, "J'acuzzi!" is what French people yell when yeeting themselves into a jacuzzi.

I'm not using MS Store, Microsoft. I have my issues with Steam but it works a hell of a lot better than MS Store does.

This is why we don't support games with malware in them.

They stand to lose a lot more business if they bend the knee. What person is going to use a hamstringed VPN? It almost completely misses the point of having one.

That took me longer to get than I'd care to admit but well done.

Guess that's just knocked SB way down my list. Shame, that's one of the few games I've been looking forward to.

The bar was on the floor already but they still felt the need to bring a shovel.

That nothing sounds a lot more appealing. Please, tell me more.

 

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com @radix@lemmy.world and @Deestan@lemmy.world for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.
