I overall like it for entertainment. As far as I can tell, through the years of "scandals", Linus doesn't seem like a bad person. Just a person who means well but makes human mistakes sometimes.
I don't know the exact scenario being referenced above, but personally I don't believe in the death penalty for anything. I truly believe people can change and be reformed. Not that everyone will, but everyone can be. Death robs of any opportunity or hope.
I also understand there is a lot of nuance around this conversation. I don't judge anyone for believing differently, as long as its for good reasons.
I'm hoping they have a larger team working on another title, or an expansion that updates the foundations of the game. Its clear they're struggling to work with the limitations of the current server seup and game engine.
They are being downvoted because not only is this not a proper sponsorship - they grabbed a partener program link which AFAIK basically anyone can do. Proton is also not right leaning nor do they have a history of politically supporting such political figures. Yes, the CEO had that one tweet, no that one tweet does not make them right leaning. Anyone who thinks so is just reactionary, baiting, or being mislead.
Edit: proton appears to be working on an official response according to their reddit account.

Tl;Dr: they do have controls to keep them from being associated with political entities but those controls failed and they are working on it, while making sure to cut ties with this individual.
I ain't write a pass for shit, the article I linked said crime is a by-product of desparation and reducing desparation will reduce crime, being poor is a cause of desparation so a-b-c. I don't wamna type that all out because the middle piece didn't matter for the sake of the message "reducing poverty reduces the crime rate".
Additionally, just because something has a traceable cause doesn't mean its excused or OK, don't draw that line on your own. I also didn't mention police once, so I don't wanna hear that either. That's a different conversation entirely that I feel we both also have a very similar opinion on. It seems you really just don't like the word poor being associated because you want to draw a line to me saying poor people are bad, but I'm not. I'm saying desperate people are more likely to take desperate measures. Doesn't matter what class you're in for that, but poor people are, hopefully unsurprisingly, a lot more likely to be in a desperate situation, and in there did I never say that this makes anyone a bad person nor did I excuse any behavior.
I literally just woke up, sorry for the extra sass.
holy frick I love KDE. Looking forward to what they do next.
We're gonna need a lot of leashes, it seems
They haven't donated to political parties, have they? That would have been big news I'm pretty sure I would have seen.

I completely get it, but also keep in mind that tinnitus sucks.

I strongly feel the only reasons Linux is actually gaining traction right now are
A) proton/wine getting good enough interfaces for regular people to start using them (steam, heroic, hopefully bottles someday gets easier to use)
B) KDE making strides with their desktop envoronment.
C) flatpaks being easy to use and fairly reliable once someone learns to prioritize them
All still have a LOT of work to do with UX, but they are close enough to good that its less of a hurdle for new people to pick them up.
Hmmm maybe I should post more. Or we can make our own list.
A lot of people in here saying they have no use case for it, but if everyone had this kind of connection then the use cases could start to emerge.
Any chance you can go into detail as to why this is a game changer for you?

In interviews they have confirmed that spyro can swap between walking and free flight at will.
I'm still waiting for my future wife to break into my house and tell me we are now dating.
Sorry I'm not Jessica, but how's that game been developing lately? i haven't played it in like 3 years.
Yeah they're like the first words in it too, oops haha. Thanks!
I mean... What's the price? If it has "lukewarm" performance but only has a "lukewarm" price, then its competitive.
Can you rotate it in your head though?
