Honestly, I'd argue it's about both.

Imagine being a staunch supporter of party X that gets involved in a scandal. 90% of the MPs defend the scandal, while 90% of the party X voters oppose it. With proportional representation the party could split and voters could support party X2 and actually have a voice.

As it stands, voters get fucked with a "keep supporting us or you're letting your enemy win". I think the above applies to Liberals, Conservatives, whomever.

I just ran into this last night and discovered the solution as well. Unclear why they chose this migration behaviour!

Preventing this oscillation between governments in power is a strong argument in favour of proportional representation. I would far rather have slow shifts in minority governments where we can actually plan and accomplish infrastructure projects instead of this wild "we abandon what the last government didn't have time to complete" seesaw.

Honestly, I stopped pirating games decades ago. I just have no desire to install rootkits for games I've purchased.

On one hand, the Duras Sisters disprove your point. Then again, "You have manipulated the circumstances with the skill of a Romulan." Yeeeeaaaahhh... Point taken.

My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it's smooth as butter. I guess what I'm saying is Linux for everything at this point... for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.

If Denuvo has no negative impact on sales, what's the need for their recent PR campaign to "rehabilitate their image"? https://feddit.nl/post/22918778

Denuvo is a deal-breaker for me.

And I can refund the game if I don't like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.

Depends on how you get it. Consenting adults donating their own they can afford to lose? Vegan. Caged up toddlers that can't consent? Not vegan.

I'm new to Summit, but not new to Lemmy. In other clients, I've subscribed to several clusters of communities. I'd love to be able to group them into multi-communities in Summit.

Desired behaviour: That the "Create Multi Community" page show you communities you've subscribed to that aren't yet in any multi community.

Desired behaviour: That searching for communities in the "Create Multi Community page" indicate which of the search results you're already subscribed to.

 

When picking avacados to buy, aim for the ones that are longer than they are round. If it's as round as an orange, you're going to get this kind of all-pit bullshit.
