This is why blocking ads and trackers is not just a suggestion. It should be a baseline of your online existence.

@matthartley it appears that the Linux gaming community has reached a market share threshold that the likes of EA can no longer ignore.
MistyIncidentally I do think that Windows 12 situation is interesting as an example of how this stuff gets laundered into social media bait. It was a multi-step process!
The original article in German on PC Welt wouldn't have trended since it was in German. Then it got roughly translated into English for PC World, and *that* version gave it the veneer of respectability despite being conjecture with absolutely no sourcing.
Gardiner BryantCalifornia just put FOSS devs on the financial hook for your kids "safety"
So California finally did it. They passed Assembly Bill 1043. And now your OS is legally required to collect your birthdate and report it to every app developer... so they can verify you're not a baby....

This is a horrible law. What it demands is about as effective as the "I am 18" buttons on adult sites.
And therefore lawmakers will escalate to even worse measures at a later point in time.
That this passed and was signed is appalling.
This law made California an untenable market for OS development.
Electronic Frontier FoundationBuying a track or ebook that you can’t pass on, share, or transfer isn’t ownership; it’s a rental. We need to restore digital first sale. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/rent-only-copyright-culture-makes-us-all-worse
Rent-Only Copyright Culture Makes Us All Worse Off
In the Netflix/Spotify/Amazon era, many of us access copyrighted works purely in digital form – and that means we rarely have the chance to buy them. Instead, we are stuck renting them, subject to all kinds of terms and conditions. And because the content is digital, reselling it, lending it, even preserving it for your own use inevitably requires copying. Unfortunately, when it comes to copying digital media, US copyright law has pretty much lost the plot.
@chrizzly_astrocg Lutris is great! But personally, I prefer Bottles so far. Works really well with the KSA Windows version.
The KSA devs just keep the hits coming. It's still early in development and they still found the time to create a Linux build pipeline. It's not officially supported yet, but It's still very interesting. Especially for someone like me who jumped ship from Windows to Linux.
First NATIVE Linux Build For Kitten Space Agency
I decided to look at where Kitten Space Agency currently is regarding building rockets. Check out my first multi-stage rocket attempts in Kitten Space Agency here:
