Low quality article from The Guardian. Pretty much entirely composed of quotes from the family with no independent corroboration. According to The Canary (so take it with a pinch of salt) a former Guardian journalist recently admitted to publishing a wholly false anti-Iran story back in 2010 so I'm a bit more skeptical than usual.

I tried finding more detail and it was mostly trash sites republishing the same content but I did find this article from an Iranian human rights group based in the US (again, pinch of salt) that has some more detail. According to them these twins are part of the "Isfahan Shohada Square case".

16 citizens were arrested and prosecuted on charges including “moharebeh (enmity against God) through carrying bladed weapons,” “destruction of public property,” “assembly and collusion,” and “propaganda against the regime.”

It's a bit murky. I don't really know what to make of it. Are these inflated charges against legitimate protesters or is there more to it?

If I can find this context through a quick Google though why can't The Guardian?

What I am saying is that based on this twitter spat I would not call her a holocaust denier. You are free to make your own judgment.

Thanks for the source although I think that's quite specific. It seems mostly about her being ignorant and doubling down on her war against trans people rather than a blanket denial of the holocaust which the term "holocaust denier" conjures

Your article frames it this way:

While Rowling has not denied the Holocaust itself happened, she is accused of engaging in a form of Holocaust denial for questioning the persecution of trans people under the Nazi regime, a fact which has been well documented

I'm not denying she's a cunt but I think it's important to be precise with these sorts of allegations.

I don't see anything about holocaust denial in your link. There's a 2018 article discussing parallels between her work and the real holocaust but it doesn't claim she's a denier. I don't really care for Rowling but I also don't like misinformation. If there is some evidence can you please share it?

 

We do not officially support Linux and we cannot commit to having support for launch. We are still working on Official Linux Proton compatibility.

This official stance has not changed since pre-release.

We admit there was a mistake in communication by our CM which was unfortunetly screenshotted in our Discord and then posted on the linux Reddit, when the official stance has always been 'we are working on proton compatibility'.

Any previous Alpha/Beta test where Linux worked was by happen stance, which led to some users discuss the game as being Linux compatible. However, as previously stated - we do not yet officially support Linux and we are still working on our proton support for WARDOGS. We will update our stance once we have this confirmed. That is our goal.

We cannot commit to having Linux support for our Early Access launch. So please, refund the game if you mistakenly bought it thinking you would be able to run Linux via Proton on September 10th. We hope to have you back as soon as we can confirm official compatibility.

We know this is not what you want to hear... but the continued demand for Linux has been heard and it is still in our sights. Thankyou.

It's definitely not infallible but neither is anticheat software. How do you tell if someone is using a DMA cheat? Even kernel level anticheat can't detect that.

 

Head tracking is a gamechanger for flying or driving games. I've used opentrack successfully with Star Citizen via lutris but have been struggling to get it working for steam games. LookPilot seems to work well and is fairly cheap but isn't FOSS. I know there are loads of other alternatives so I'm wondering what have you found that works well?

Is any anticheat as effective as a community server with active moderators to ban cheaters?

Because they actively encouraged users to prepurchase the game, play the beta, and refund if they didn't like it. Many prepurchased based on previous comments about supporting proton and are now considering refunding based on recent comments.

In the beta last week the game was perfectly playable via proton which is why people are frustrated.

Pretty annoying if true. I preordered with the idea that I could refund if the beta didn't work. It worked great so I was happy to wait for release but now it looks like I'll have to refund after all.

Worked fine with linux in the last beta. Why disable it now?

Google the history of Facebook. It's on the wiki. It's in the film.

You have a clear bias and are working backwards from there in order to justify it.

 

The increased flexibility to work remotely has been liberating in many ways for workers however it also poses challenges when it comes to organizing.

I've found that the primary means of communication between remote workers is owned by the company, for example slack and teams. This leads to a reluctance to discuss unionization due to the perceived threat of the company eavesdropping and taking action against them.

There are also less opportunities for the kinds of informal conversations that lead to solidarity and organizing that would usually happen over lunch or after work at the bar or pub.

What challenges have you faced in organising remote workers and what solutions have you found?
