I guess you would need a lot of proxies. And they probably need to be on Googles good side to keep their VPN extension in Chrome

I’m sure part of it is to stop paying Denuvo the $20,000+ a month fee to keep it active, but regardless I’m glad they’re doing the right thing.

I wonder if they’re using the (paid) Google and Brave APIs, and are running Leta as a loss leader, or if they have some way to get around it

Yeah, I don’t blame Nord themselves for the breach, but not notifying users was bad

They’ve done other things, but the reason I don’t use Nord is that they had a breach where an attacker had physical access to one of their servers, and they tried to sweep it under the rug rather than notify users.

Cory Doctorow is an actual legend

I’m loving my Framework, have Mint on there. Thinkpads are also well regarded I believe

Scott Manley… Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

I switched to Nobara Linux at the end of last year, and for the most part when I consider how often I’d have to fix Windows stuff, it’s not that much more work. Still not the same though, and I keep a Windows partition around for certain stuff even though I groan having to load into it

Appreciate everything you do!

I had to do a triple take to make sure this wasn’t The Onion

That’s a shame, that was the studio that worked on Guitar Hero Live. I kind of liked that game

Thank you for saving me from a potential headache. Maybe I’ll come back later with a rum and coke.

I knew it, my aunt sent me similar photos a couple years ago

Nord has been on my shit list ever since one of their servers got physically penetrated and they tried to slide it under the rug rather than notify users

I’m not going to lie, I’ve been burned by every free VPN I’ve used due to one scandal or another. I just gave up and pay for Mullvad when I need one. I haven’t done much research, but the Brave VPN is probably a decent free one. Or Tor, but it might not be what you’re looking for.

Divinity Original Sin is their IP, there’s a chance they’re working on a game in that series

Mine is pretty similar, except I just throw my backlog into a big category called “Haven’t Touched”. Been meaning to make a separate folder for Early Access games I’ve temporarily dropped until they release.

They’ve only made a standalone video addressing stuff a few times on their channel, the vast majority of the time they save it for WAN Show or at most a community post.

He said on the WAN show that when they dropped Honey a few years ago, the news was going around all over creator circles and a lot of other creators dropped them then too. And they didn’t make a video because at the time only the affiliate yoinking was known, and the audience would probably call them shills for making a video about how they’re losing money due to their audience saving money.

I don’t think his defense is 100% airtight, but it’s useful context.
