Proton Mail Bridge + Thunderbird works fine yeah. That’s what I use.

I’m back to Terraria for the umpteenth time. This time a thrower class with the Thorium mod. Currently building an alpine resort with a ski jump as my base before entering hardmode. Next up is starting the Metro FPS series.

OK, not like I brought it up. Go be aggressive somewhere else.

some doctors and scientists

The person you are replying to very clearly did not mean all doctors and scientists.

They still exist because Google isn’t really a technology company anymore. It’s an advertising company masquerading as a technology company. Their success depends on selling more ads which is why all the failed projects don’t seem to make a difference.

Buying a game on Steam gets you the same perpetual license for your copy of the game as it does on GoG (the same as any software). The difference is Steam’s DRM (requiring the Steam Client to run the game). AFAIK Steam have said in the past that they have a plan to remove it if Steam shuts down.

Here’s a video that lays it out in detail as to what game ownership means amongst other things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw.

The big question about all this stuff is how far companies (both game and non-game software) can push their “you don’t own your software” agenda before facing a significant legal challenge and what the outcome of that legal challenge will be.

Can’t wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.

He’s also a thief of course, as that’s the only way to become a billionaire.

I looked into ready made NAS machines but wasn’t sold on the software that came with them. Ended up building a small PC and installing OpenMediaVault on it which I have been super happy with.

Depending on how many HDD bays you need you can just buy a refurbished office Dell or HP and it’ll do the job more than adequately.

That is 2 words (or 3 depending how you count the abbreviation). You’d think a dictionary could get that right.

Aye, Cinnamon i’d say is pretty Windows like now (taskbar, start menu and tray) but definitely not as good as KDE. The average user would be happy with either I think.

If you didn’t know, Ubuntu is based on Debian.

Mint has the Cinnamon desktop environment which isn’t that different from Windows/KDE. You’re probably thinking of Gnome?
