"scores" = groups of 20
so somewhere between 40 and 100 players quit the game because they couldn't say a racial slur. In a game with apparently 2.5 million daily players. That can't be right. In a playerbase that size I'd expect the percentage of bigots with no life to be somewhere in the tens of thousands.
Guess it was a slow news day
Ah yes, because linux drivers never break!
You might not understand the pain if you don't own a tv tuner card but trust me, it's ROUGH!
The stifling of innovation. So that's more of a feature to microsoft
Linux has technical debt. The kernel only just stopped supporting the i386. I can't imagine what patches upon patches were required to make the same code run on even 2 processors released 40 years apart, let alone every processor released in between.
Rebuilding the app for the newer version is an objectively better solution, because it allows you to take advantage to new features. 64-bit migrations are a game changer for example. But its an ungodly amount of effort. Every single sodding package has a person responsible for building it for every distro that supports it. Its only because its on the distros to make a given program work on their distro that the system works at all. I agree that I'd rather it be rebuilt to fit into the new system. But that's a lot of work. Never forget that.
I'll say it once, I'll say it forever: Windows has better backward compatibility, period. Even compared to linux. Rebuilding an old open source linux app to work on a modern distro can be done, but it's a process that could take hours or days. And if you don't have the source code you're shit out of luck. Have fun getting that binary built against a 1 year old version of glibc to work. This, incidentally is what things like flatpak, docker and ubuntu's nonsense competitor to both (of which our hatred is entirely rational no really stop laughing) are trying to solve.
Meanwhile microsoft office still handles leap years wrong because it might break backwards compatibility with old documents. Binaries built for windows xp will usually just work on windows 11. Packages built for ubuntu 22.0 often won't run on ubuntu 23.0. You never notice this because linux are a culture of recompilers. Rebuilding every last package once a month is just how some distros roll. But that's not backwards compatibility, that's ongoing maintenance.
I hope they win. I want that president on the books.
Finally, I do wish there was a simpler, more paint.net-like editor rather than GIMP, and I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, but otherwise basically every thing on that list of features works well enough for me.

You think Bond villains weren't taking credit for their underlings inventions? What a high opinion you have of evil people.
Friendship over with Musad
Speak for yourself. Bees are an invasive species given an unfair advantage through their alliance with humanity. If they aren't native to an area, they are a pest that competes with local pollinators and drives them toward extinction
KDE, with breeze and a custom colour scheme. I find it less likely to lead to usability issues.
