insert Arrested Development joke here

It's only illegal if someone reports you.

Freddy Mercury did.

Heroic is pretty good too. Supports a lot fewer stores than Playnite (only Epic, GOG, and Amazon at the moment), but it doesn't require any of the original launcher to be installed in order to download and play any games (with a few exceptions, such the the Star Wars games on Epic which still require the original launcher due to some fuckery).

Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and on the latter two, will even help you set up and configure Wine automatically in order to run your Windows games.

Think about it this way: by making their lives easier, you make life easier for yourself, too. It doesn't take a lot of effort to put a proper .gitattributes file in your repo, but in return, you'll nip any potential future issues from Windows users who are trying to contribute accidentally or unknowingly checking in files with the wrong line endings.

Inb4 "I don't care about contributions from Windows users anyways": a lot of apps are multiplatform these days (usually Electron). It's unreasonable to expect people to do all their coding in Linux and only use Windows for testing, especially when all the tooling already exists on Windows. VS Code will handle a repo with LF line endings just fine as long as you told git not to convert the line endings when checking out.

I'm on Windows 11 and it opens PDF files in Edge by default. While I find it kind of silly to use a web browser for that purpose, the built-in PDF reader is actually fairly good, it can even read your documents out loud using text-to-speech.

To be fair, the Bible says nothing about having to follow the pope in order to get to heaven.

In fact, one could even argue that Jesus would not have approved of such an institution, because in Matthew 23:9, he explicitly says this:

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

Meanwhile, the verse that the Catholic church bases the legitimacy of the papacy on (Matthew 16:18) is far more vague:

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The big issue with "trying" communism is that it historically has only really occurred through violent revolution. The political instability in these situations gives a perfect opportunity for the seizing of power by exactly those kinds of people.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that violent revolution is exactly what Marx said was essential in order to bring about the communist utopia he envisioned. That's precisely why communism has such a bad rep among anyone but edgy teenagers and college students. Are you telling me Marx was wrong about this? If so, please elaborate.

Almost had me with that. Glad you decided to put that /S at the end.

I tend to not buy a game on Steam if I already own it on GOG and vice versa. Why pay for the same thing twice?
