One beast overrun.

Haste in green is wild though.

The senator is president of the party he is part of : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independents_%E2%80%93_Republic_and_Territories_group

EDIT: Ah yes I get it. His party is affiliated with Horizons from Edouard Philippe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizons_(political_party)

Nevertheless, all the other comments have a point: Edouard Philippe is conservative, not extreme right.

The consulat in Strasbourg has been opened since 1866...

This is so hard to build something but so easy to destroy it.

I read somewhere that Librewolf is not recommended because they are a small team and slow to patch vulnerabilities / integrate security fixes from Firefox.

Is it true? (Sincere question)

Mmm they don't mention achievement support...

Heroic has some basic support with Comet, but I haven't tried it yet.

Here the doc for the record: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Set_module_parameters_in_kernel_command_line

Note, they forgot to add to also blacklist the radeon module.

A friend of mine has a old Radeon HD 7850 that was not working with Vulkan out of the box. Since he didn't want to tinker with it, he gave it to me and I will have a look. I've read you can force the new Vulkan Driver on it with some kernel flags.

Even better with some tiers:

Tier 1 - your post is restored but with a disclaimer that an appeal was made

Tier 2 - your post is restored with no disclaimer. Nobody will know you paid for an appeal!

The possibilities are endless! /s

I have read your link but they didn't say the EGS is at loss specifically because of the 12% cut nor that the Fortnite money is subsidizing the lower cut.

It could be that the EGS is at loss because creating a new store and client from scratch costs money ?

To be honest here, we don't have the numbers to say exactly how much margin Valve is making. But my guess is the following: if EGS estimated that with a 12% cut they could be profitable if they had enough customers, it makes me think that the cut of valve is way overinflated in regards to their costs.

And yes Fortnite is awfully predatory. But the topic is Valve and Steam there 🙂

Yeah you're of course right, they are not a charity and shouldn't have to provide their service for free.

I expressed myself too quickly (the rage!). What I meant is the this cut of 30% is fucking predatory, mafia or middle-age money lender style. You get one third of the rewards of my efforts just for delivering my product? And don't talk about promotion because this store is now stuffed with too many games for visibility.

You can argue "but this is it the standard rate of the industry". Well it is predatory everywhere else and I hate Google and Apple as much for it.

A cut of 10% would be more humane. Or whatever to reach a "normal" profitability. But now the discussion becomes complex because we don't have the concrete numbers.

What is sure, is that it is possible without pain to take way less than 30%. This is something EGS got right, even if I dislike them for many other things (Epic and Tim Sweeney).

Yes you can workaround it. But this is still a society right they forbid you. And who can say that in 2100 they won't implement a cleanup job that lock all accounts that are over 100 years old ? 🤪
