it’s guaranteed to be irreversible in 20 minutes

How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.

A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

Legality and morality aren’t necessarily the same.

Doesn’t change the fact that some forms of travel are objectively worse for the environment than others. If you can reasonably take a train or a bus instead of a plane or car, you should do so.

What VPN offers 12 months for $12 and is there a catch? I’m happy with Proton but having something cheap and trustworthy to recommend would be nice.

Honestly, off all foldables I find the Z Flip like devices the least desirable. You don’t get a bigger screen, you just trade height for depth, so they fit in pockets even worse (especially if you wear tight-ish clothes) and if you’re not carrying your phone on your body it makes literally no difference - all of my bags fit my regular form factor phone easily anyway.

I usually don’t, I’d like to but I generally don’t have the time for it. But many people do play on launch day, as you can see looking at the player charts on Steam. You can’t say “gaming on Linux works, you don’t need Windows” and then have all these little caveats. For the vast majority of people something either works when they click “Play” or it doesn’t work at all. This is an enthusiast community, but most people just aren’t that.

And I’ll admit that I didn’t recheck Starfield before commenting. Nice to see, it was a no-go on Nvidia initially.

No, especially AAA releases usually do not, or least not right away. For example according to ProtonDB Starfield (and yes I know, most people here don’t like it - but I do) still doesn’t work reliably, especially not on Nvidia cards. And no amount of indie puzzle games makes up for AAA titles working hassle free and on day one for the vast majority of users.
