They were trying to run it cracked through an alternative launcher.

My dog seems to agree with this sentiment.

I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.

No P2P with free Proton.

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.

This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.

Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

Yeah, no. As soon as I looked into this it requires subscription. Also, the GUI is suspiciously old. Like GNOME from 15+ years ago old.

Maybe I’m blind, maybe it’s me viewing this on a phone, but I legitimately can’t tell the difference.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

I’m not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.

You forgot the pop-ups, forced midi music, easily injected malware, difficulty in verifying sources, html frames that frequently broke, the entire concept of needing a site map, fucking keywords, true banner ads that could force clicks with Javascript, and RealPlayer to name a few. I don’t miss it at all.

The one time I’ve had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.

Yeah, including that was an odd choice. That made it clear that the author doesn’t know the target audience for this project. I would wager that the vast majority of modern gamers would give up on it in minutes.

Give them a low rating, then. Hardly anyone leaves ratings, and a 1 star could easily tank them below the 4.2 rating they need to avoid their account being deactivated. I’ve done over 600 runs and only 35 have left any kind of rating, for example. Super easy to tank the average.

Just as a clarification (not a defense) from someone that drives for DoorDash - every time the driver picks up a pizza order, they are required to provide photo proof that they own a pizza bag. I’m not saying this forces drivers to use them, but they have to upload different pics of their pizza bags sometimes with every pickup.

I have a horrible feeling that this kid is going to wind up like Kevin Mitnick.

This article is missing some stuff I’d really like to know. How long did this 1,000 km trip take? How often did they have to stop? What was the average range per day? All of the specs that would be great to know are missing here.

It was developed and abandoned, but The Rubicon comes to mind.
