FTA: The ~~standard~~ income deduction has been increased for seniors such that 90% will have their Social Security income completely covered by the deduction, meaning they won't pay taxes on that income.
Edit: Crossed out a word.
Smaller studios have been consistently putting out good games as of late anyway. Indy and AA studios have the freedom to make fun things instead of having to check every box on a spreadsheet.
Linux isn’t stable enough to do production work
Linux runs most of the world's servers. It's pretty damn stable. One of the reasons it is generally chosen over Windows for servers is specifically because of its stability.
I'm not telling you to use it, mostly just this concept of instability is off.
According to Steam: in the last 3 years there has been 150% growth in Linux users
Steam deck.
The Steam deck is less than 10% of Steam's linux installs. It identifies as Arch, and that category also includes Arch, which is a popular distro in general. The 150% growth in Linux users is certainly helped by the Steam Deck, but it isn't the primary growth driver. People are simply using Linux more and more as Linux continues to improve and Windows backslides.
From Steam's hardware survey:
you can safely use Windows 10 PCs connected to the internet for the next decade.
Do not, absolutely do not, hook an OS that is no longer receiving security updates to the internet. Out-of-date machines can get pwned simply by being on a network or loading a website's ad, no user interaction required. Vulnerabilities are discovered, never patched, and thereafter every script kiddy can get into the old machines with little effort.
Yeah, they are still on the NFA. So all other rules around them apply, such as the application process with the ATF, fingerprinting, etc.
The other commenter mentioned above that this does open legal challenges against this portion of the NFA, however. As gun registries are illegal and if this is no longer a receipt of tax payments...
Suppressors are literally a hearing safety device and noise pollution inhibitor. To respond with a comment like this is baffling.
Well, I'll certainly take the win here.
It's a bone that either party could have thrown gun owners for a long time now. It amazes me it has taken this long.
According to Steam: in the last 3 years there has been 150% growth in Linux users
And according to Pornhub, in 2024 there was a 41% growth in Linux users.
I don't think there is a Steam entry for the game, but you can install it with Lutris, which does the setup for you. I don't actually play the game, so I can't speak much more about it.
Had a look at Offbrand Games' games and none of them have recent review bombs. I really have no clue what PirateSoftware is talking about.
I'm not surprised he was pushed out for fear of such review bombs, but I'm not seeing any evidence of them actually existing as he alleges.
