Oof.

Yes, I established that was an exaggeration for effect. 👍

What did you mean by this?

That I love my partner very much.

Yeah, I understand Linux gaming was not great until fairly recently. Heroic and Lutris have been around for a few years now as I understand it, though I admit I’m still new to the scene. Honestly though, in my experience, Steam still doesn’t just work in some cases, and I’ve admitted to myself that’s just going to be the Linux gaming experience. I check Proton DB before buying any game now.

And yet you decided to continue this thread by saying that you weren’t exaggerating.

In fact, I never said that.

Of course the %age I used was an exaggeration. Sorry, was this conversation being driven by the assumption that it wasn’t? I exaggerated to make my point.

I think you drastically underestimate how much I love my partner.

I wouldn’t say it’s an anxiety, I’d say it’s a cost-benefit analysis I’ve done and decided that having cell service to catch a potential emergency call is more important to me than that one extra level of privacy like OP. Hell, I don’t want to miss a call even if it isn’t an emergency. I love my partner and want to talk to them any chance I can get; if they’re calling I want to answer.

I would not be comfortable not having mobile signal. Public WiFi is not going to cut it. Even a 0.00001% chance that I’d miss an important call from my partner is no bueno for me.

If you care this much about not using Steam, why would this be the deciding factor? I can play GoG games right now on Linux.

Do any of these Google Maps alternatives have any traffic functionality? That’s been my sticking point so far. Most people who are switching off Google are doing it for privacy reasons, which is great, but that generally means they’re not giving up location data for traffic purposes.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

It is the article, to be fair.

I’ve been using Nova for, gods, something like five years now or more.

What are some good ones these days? When I started using Nova, it was very highly recommended.

I can’t tell if you got it or not, so just in case, I’m pretty sure OP was making a Wii/Oui joke.

Holy hell that is embarrassing.
