Quoting: IronownerThis was my Tomb Raider 🥰

Quoting: Arehandoro

that will exclusively require DirectX 12

Booooo.

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneAs long as they don't improve the character physics/controls I don't care. Witcher 1 is still the only Witcher I could enjoy (and I know the controls were weird, but at least they worked).

that will exclusively require DirectX 12

Quoting: KirkyLADHaving said that, forza support tell you that Steam Deck is supported but Linux isn't.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNews flash, in case you've been living under a rock: Tons of people, services, entities, ... already know who you are and where you live, by far not only those where you have entered the info yourself, and all of that quite precisely.

But, we're human, and humans can be pretty stupid or just generally clumsy.

Quoting: PhlebiacDawn of War IV is being done by KING Art; I loved the Book of Unwritten Tales series, but this is a pretty big shift. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Quoting: mr-victoryBut android also reports linux, it doesn't make sense. Do they check linux + x86_64?

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: TheSHEEEP... The one asking for that information then only gains the minimum amount of data from that source...

Ever heard the phrase "The nose of the camel inside the tent flap"? It doesn't take long before the whole camel is inside. While this might start with the minimum amount of your private information being exposed, how long before they start asking for the maximum amount?

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneAgain someone spread these false information. Age verification is a huge problem. Sure, you are 18+ at the beginning, you do not expose a lot of information. But with your opinion you force all kids below 18 to expose their birth-dates. Once they hit 18 they have to change the entry to "being adult". Even if they do it a week after their birthday, there are less than 300.000 people each day that become 18. In additional services also often know where you are coming from (where you connect to their page from) and may collect further data and you are exposed very easily.

The almost perfect birthday is one of the best identifiers a company can get. In comparison your sex only half the amount of people from 8 billion to 4 billion while the exact birthday tells "you are one of around 267k people" with no additional information.

there's a sweet new startup movie too

Quoting: RrhapsodyBad, I want the original Trials of Mana, the SNES version.

Quoting: eggroleIt is staggering to me how the conversation barely even acknowledges that anyone that is younger than 18, and thus who these laws are "protecting", is a child. And children have guardians. If you want to control what your child can access, then do it. You SHOULD be limiting what your children can get to online. And don't give me the excuse that they can get access some other way. Because that same thing will still happen no matter what laws you put in place.

I'm so tired of daddy government being the arbiter of SaFtEy for the children. And somehow the conclusion, if you even accept such a premise, is that literally every. single. person. must comply with an ever growing complex of hoops to be jumped through.

Oh daddy government, if you care soooo much about the children... release the Epstein files!

Quoting: scaineIf you think a gambling website is going to take the risk on allowing Linux devices after this law passes, I think you'll be in for a shock.

Quoting: F.UltraI highly doubt that, for the very reason that the identifiers that they already use today can pinpoint you basically exactly.

Already back in 2006 researchers could use anonymized search data from AOL to identify individual people (down to name, age and address). Not only have this been finetuned over the 20 years since they, today we also have companies like Palantir.
