If I had money to spend on FOSS projects, this is definitely one of the ones I'd support. I likely will from next month onwards.

Bottles is a very convenient way of managing individual wine prefixes. With its GUI it's very easy to install dependencies and change settings. I can highly recommend checking it out. I use it not just for programs, but also games as it's just easier to use than having to use winetricks.

And yet cats kill billions of birds each year. Wild.

This is where you point out to whomever banned you that:

You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them, or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

Nowhere does it say anything about how to vote, except for later on the page:

Lemmy attempts to limit the visibility of votes to protect user privacy. But due to the way Lemmy works, votes cannot be completely private. Instance admins can see the names of everyone who voted on a given post or comment, and community moderators can see the names for the communities they moderate. This helps to fight against vote manipulation.

They don't explain what "vote manipulation" is.
But if an admin saw you were downvoting most posts, then that's probably why you got banned. I just don't downvote stuff unless I feel like it doesn't belong, or if someone isn't actively contributing.
Or maybe they saw multiple users from the same IP as you downvoting a lot of posts.

This is apparently how vote manipulation looks to them.

Until 2021 when I got my new PC, I still had a bluray/cd/dvd burner, although I don't recall ever using it for burning anything. I guess that era is finally getting laid to rest.
Also, way back when it was a requirement to burn CD's and DVD's in order to install operating systems like linux, I don't ever recall using a CD-RW disc. I guess I thought of them a bit like potions in skyrim where by the end of the game I end up with hundreds of them and then never using them when I really needed to.

Like Cypher said in The Matrix: "Ignorance is bliss".

The article somehow managed to link to the 3.2 version, so here is the correct link to the 3.3 version. They also suggest flathub, but at the time I'm writing this, they haven't updated to 3.3 yet.

EDIT: What a battle getting the dependencies to match in order to compile. And it took 19 minutes to compile. ;_;

One of the few games based on the Quake 2 engine. Which is a shame, I quite liked the chunky feel of it.

I barely remember the story of SiN, but I do remember enjoying it when it came out. That whole "guy in the chair"/mission control shtick is probably why I hold this game in the same category as Deus Ex in my head, even though they're very different.

I tend to stop torrents when they hit 1000, I feel like that's a "good enough" contribution on public stuff, except when I notice less than 100 seeders, then I tend to keep it going.

Top 58 I guess. Especially proud of the 800+ ratio on a 78 GB one (78*800≈61TB).

Sorry, but anyone taking up space in my pigeon brain is "big enough" to be petty. I don't know what qualifies as big enough for you though.
And just to be clear, I'm just talking about boycotting, not leaving nasty reviews or messages.

The removal of the holiday? No that was for all of Denmark.
