I think the venn diagram overlap of linux users, and users of adblockers or noscript users that block such tracking is quite large. Must impact the statistic significantly.

Guess the issue is that us big bads are blocked in china. So while ccp can leverage social media to monitor western countries. Western goverments can not leverage western social media to do the same in china.

If you compare with excel or similar. They do not write excel the program. But there is a lot of tinkering with algorithms and functions to get the wanted results.

From other countries that have regulations: prevent known criminals, known serious mentally ill people, known abusers, from having guns. Enforce gun lockers, and responsible ownership. Enforce education and training.
Most countries still have guns you know. Even just the gun lockers would prevent the us rampant murdering toddlers.

They can not possibly ban using ip? That is wild. With the amount of CGNAT beeing used, hundreds of people can be behind a single ip.

Never been an issue for me debian+kde+steam it started right up the first time i tried. No tweaking needed.

What anyone mean when they say get rid of dst is to stop the flipflopping.
But i guess you are technically right. Witch i have heard is the best kind of right. Even if very pedantic ;)

I would not mind if americans used whatever. As long as anything exported from america always!! used metric. As it is now we need 2 complete sets of nuts and bolts, pipes and fittings, tools and gizmos, csbles and connectors. Just imagine the space we could save in our shops and storages if we could /2 the requires spare part storage. Not to mention the time and frustration avoided when doing basically anything on almost anything.

You can make summer time the regular time you know. Removing dst is about getting rid of changing the clocks twice a year.

Why not all of the above? If you have a service, you want to sell it to as many customers as possible.

Avoiding those are priceless

Family sharing is also very great

Same i have friends that have crashed perhaps once or twice a week on windows.But never been an issue for me on linux. Only had it for the last month tho. Could be an older fixed issue as well.

Having launch issues seems to be the norm nowadays.I do lot think anyone expects complex software to be bug free.
But the response and speed of fixing issues from arrow head are very good, and an example for others to follow.

Dedicated servers are awesome tho. And all great games have that. Makes the game live forever if the community cares enough. Cnc renegade and enemy territory still have players.

Probably the best game i am playing, 6000h+ into it now. If you like that type of game, you will love factorio.
Has a free demo on steam, so you can try before you buy.

Other xmpp servers that want to yes. But i have nobody that uses xmpp again.

Hosted my own xmpp server back when you could talk to facebook messenger and google chat users via federation. But when they closed their walled garden there were nobody to talk to so i stopped it.

Now with matrix i have again a homeserver. Bridged to messenger, google what the new thing is called, slack, and a few others.

While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.

Want to know more? sorry, been playing to much helldivers 2. ;) https://www.ted.com/playlists/470/how_to_pop_our_filter_bubbles

The science is not conclusive tho. Perhaps i am in a bubble… messes with the head…

That too that there are 3 different .docx does nothing for standardization

Same in norway. The phone spam opt out works suprisingly well. Not had a unsolicited call in years… If not decades.
