  • It’s probably just not worth it. MS makes the vast, vast majority of thier money on Windows licenses from the corporate sector and OEMs. Any revenue “lost” to MAS is a rounding error on thier toilet paper budget for thier offices.

    Both those posts on reddit are people being paranoid (especially the pchelp post, that user is self-admittedly ignorant), perhaps not wrongly, but it is open source and used frequently enough I’d imagine someone would have said something if there were issues.

    Personally, I’ve used it probably 3-4x without any issues. Take that for what you will.

    EDIT: Manual instructions are here if you wanna be really, really sure.



  • I have no particular suggestions for the Pi, but for the x86 box I’d go headless Arch, install docker and go from there.

    Also, I’d personally suggest switching to something that’s not Manjaro. Arch has an install script now which I really like, but there’s also distros like EndeavorOS that don’t have a history of letting thier SSL certs expire multiple times like Manjaro does…









  • You end up saying something similar to yourself after you read and fail to understand a LKML archive because it’s the only available documentation on this specific flag that you may or may not need and if you don’t need it why not turn it off. Repeat this many times for much learning (eventually).

    It was a great experience but next time I’m building everything not strictly necessary as a module.




  • The more relevant section is here

    “It’s not uncommon for larger game companies like Bethesda to have mixed reactions to fan-made projects of this scale, we saw this with things such as Fallout: The Frontier,” says Carter, referencing the game-sized mod for Fallout: New Vegas that launched in 2021. “They often tolerate projects’ like ours’ existence as long as they don’t infringe on their intellectual property or negatively impact their brand.”

    That said, I agree with you. The Frontier had issues because they put problematic shit in their mod. Bethesda has explicitly given shoutouts to Sim Settlements (I’m pretty sure there’s others) in the recent past.
