#Metro2033 #Free #Gog #Question #Linux #Proton

So, Metro 2033 is free for a few days on Steam and GOG: gog.com/en/game/metro_2033_red

I am fetching the GOG version.

Does anyone know how to play this on Linux without using Steam?

🦇

ETA: Beware the terms on GOG:
"By clicking the ‘Add to library’ button, I agree to receive marketing communications from GOG and CD PROJEKT on my email address and through GOG services and GOG’s Trusted Partners’ services, to get Metro 2033 Redux."

To think
that everyone wants to be like that

NO that's not what everyone wants!!!
__

To take
what you want to take

To have
what nobody has

To possess
what is unique

To enslave
So that one can rule

To dehumanize
To gaze at the faceless

To rise above everything
to be able to look down on everyone

Who does that remind you of?
A list is also welcome

Do we live our feelings the way we should?

The way we want to live them?

Full of passion
intense
Loud
Powerful
Dramatic
Tragic
Are we living as we should?

Or have we learned
to suppress
what is disturbing
what is excessive
what seemed wrong to someone, at some point, and it became socially unacceptable

Do we suppress our feelings?

Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.

(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."

etc. etc.
Yeah...

Image says- That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows Snapshotting and AI processing a screen every 3 seconds. What could possibly go wrong? Dan Goodin – Apr 11, 2025 2:45 pm | 157 The Recall feature as it currently exists in Windows 11 24H2 preview builds. Credit: Andrew Cunningham Security and privacy advocates are girding themselves for another uphill battle against Recall, the AI tool rolling out in Windows 11 that will screenshot, index, and store everything a user does every three seconds. When Recall was first introduced in May 2024, security practitioners roundly castigated it for creating a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device. Privacy advocates warned that Recall was ripe for abuse in intimate partner violence settings. They also noted that there was nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal. (...) later stated "First, even if User A never opts in to Recall, they have no control over the setting on the machines of Users B through Z. That means anything User A sends them will be screenshotted, processed with optical character recognition and Copilot AI, and then stored in an indexed database on the other users’ devices." -from arstechnica, bad scripts. You get no link.

#question Is any of the Raspbery Pi compatible with XP-Pen Artist 16 drawing tablet? I try to use it with my linux mint, but the computer just allows for either my screen or that tablet's screen to show an image.
I suspect with a raspberry with 2 HDMI Ports, It should be possible to use both screens as long as the graphical card/RAM allow?

Original post to the effect of,
'If I run windows 10 beyond support, what are biggest risks with low online use?
'
I use a desktop to run midi and audio programs. These don't need online presence, unless I want to download additional plugins, upgrade my DAW or associated software from an online source.
My question is, if my software, programs are functioning in W10 , what is the benefit in upgrading to W11.

Je vais faire un #kefir de fruits. On me donne des grains "pour 3 litres". Vous croyez que je peux les assommer de figues et de citrons ?

J'ai vraiment trop de figues et de citrons, j'ai envie d'en utiliser plein, et j'ai un bocal de 6 litres…
