Came to give AirVPN a shoutout too. Been with them since 7 years. Using both their client and native wireguard kernel module. Very happy.

Poutine is great!

Could be both. You can enforce it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/activate-reader-view/

In my homelab I have Debian VMs originally set up with Debian 6 in 2011 which were upgraded another 6 major releases to now Debian 12 over the years. When I think about Debian I always get a very warm cozy feeling.

Since it has to happen in windows safe mode it seems to be very hard to automate the process. I haven’t seen a solution yet.

It is annoying. Some possible solutions:

On desktop: Using Shift + ALT you often can overrule this and select text anyway.

On mobile: Using the reader mode or the Print preview often works. It does for me on this website.

Gandalf, hast du gerade auf nen 2 Monate alten Beitrag von mir geantwortet? :)

I didnt argue anything like that. I earlier suspected that you were just playing dumb. Maybe what I actually argued really was too much to process.

And you’re saying there’s no difference between playing Black Mesa today vs playing Half life today, and therefore he might as well start out with Black Mesa? Or what is the meaning of your reply?

Hard disagree. Games like Half life have a huge historical value for their impact. Playing the original is worth it. Especially if one takes the medium itself seriously. You wouldn’t say an original movie and a 22 years younger remake are “the same”, right? I think you’re playing dumb with me.

Love the Wikipedia link btw. I’ve played Black Mesa in its early access phase already and then later on again when they released Xen.

You are saying the third party remake in another engine from 2020 is the same as the original from 1998?

If he never played the original I think it’s good he starts with it. Black Mess is great, but the original Half Life has a certain historical value (and is still a great game).

I don’t understand what argument you are trying to make. Can you elaborate? You mean we shouldn’t do it because there might be a counterreaction?

That’s a good thing imo. We do this so we can build up an industry for these things at home. That’s an important long term goal, too. If the last years have shown us anything it’s that being solely dependent on another state for certain critical stuff is a bad idea. And I’d say this is especially true for China.

Edit: btw German talking here, not American.
