A friend had a cat move in voluntarily, so guess that would be one way. It's still an outdoor cat and can come and go as it pleases, it just seems to prefer staying there. It just gets food, scratches, and a place to stay, but is technically pretty much a wild animal. It behaves as if its lived with them for its whole life and tends to sleep next to my friend in her bed at night.

Yeah you're correct on the accusations, I should have clarified.

But with that approach it doesn't sound like there is anything an organization could do against false accusations that would absolve them of wrongdoing. I'm all for bashing corrupt/horrible companies, but it feels like there should be at least some presumption of innocence unless there is any kind of proof. Painting all accused with the same brush just leads to devaluing the brush IMO. But like you said, people may (and will) believe what they want, and people are under no obligation to watch or support any creator unless they want to. In my case I just haven't seen any proof of wrongdoing (in this case, gamersnexus controversy was worse IMO).

What do you think a company should do in that situation, assuming it is being falsely accused? What would a "perfect" response be? I cant think of a much better one than what LTT did, given their circumstances, but would love to hear what a better response would look like.

They hired an external firm to investigate themselves and they found nothing, while the accuser had zero proof. There is plenty of things to accuse them for, the gamers nexus thing for one, but I'm a bit annoyed about false accusations sticking so hard when there is little reason to believe it. If anything it makes people less likely to believe actual victims.

Feels like I remember that one getting pretty good proof Linus didn't do anything, but could be wrong

Not sure how great it holds up today since it was a while ago I watched it last, but The Thing is for me still one of the best ones.

If your data is very important you should definitely prioritize implementing your backup for at least the most important stuff. You could probably move it over, but in case something happens your data will most likely be gone, or best case very hard to recover.

Fedora is a great distro, but they are decidedly bleeding edge on purpose and IMO not the best choice for a server hosting critical data.

A better option would be running a hypervisor like proxmox (you can even convert your existing Debian install, but I havent tried this personally) and passing your GPU to a virtual machine that runs fedora.

This gives you both a very stable environment for your data and and a bleeding edge environment where your hardware decoding likely works great. I do this exact thing personally and it works great.

If you try it (which I very much recommend!), don't be afraid to ask for help and further try not to be discouraged if the wrong type of person (eg "read the manual noob" type people) respond. The Linux community is full of both the most helpful and most elitist type of people, and an unfortunate amount of new users get scared away by the second group.

Everyone may deserve a living wage, but if im awful at art there are probably more useful things I could be doing for the betterment of all.

Yes, its possible to check. Data has to be sent through some connection, and we are able to monitor all traffic going through connections we control. Its not happening on wifi and not on 4G/etc. So unless there is some other connection that is not a real issue.

If you don't mind, could you explain why one would want to buy these kinds of microtransactions, especially if you don't even enjoy the game? I just cant understand it, but obviously people enjoy it or the business model wouldn't work.

No judgement here, just genuinely curious.

Might also be undiagnosed ADD/ADHD, which in general is a lot easier to treat than pure depression.

Which model? Currently searching for one, and that sounds bearable
