His linktr.ee from his official website links to that account. So it’s official.

I think the question is: is it actually him using the account, or is it a social media manager?

If you accidentally ban linux users in three[1] different[2] banwaves[3], then linux was only halfway supported in the first place, even if they overturned (almost) all of those bans.

I think the real reason they did it was EA’s financial situation. Since money is tight, the amount of resources they were willing to put into real linux anti-cheat probably dropped to “none at all,” and now we’re here. Otherwise other cheater-prone games like Counter Strike, Overwatch, Halo, The Finals, DayZ, Hunt Showdown, etc would have probably dropped/blocked linux by now too.

Don’t worry, Seth Evans (touring and studio musician for Black Midi) helped produce this song, and Black Midi’s drummer (Morgan Simpson) is credited on Greep’s new album, which is set to release in a month: https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/6uPLM4h3oBnZ3IKUL4f20H

Cameron Picton is also doing a solo project called CameraPicture or something

For the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:

• Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
• Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
• Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
• Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
• Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
• Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)

Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.

English-speaking population is about 1.5 billion worldwide and 300 million of that is in the US (first language or additional language), so the US is about 20% of the world’s English speakers. The 2nd and 3rd countries with the most English-speakers are India and Nigeria, so factor in internet access, and the US is almost certainly >20% of the English-speaking internet.

Was wondering why I hadn’t heard of this bot before…

How detailed is .world’s IP logging? I’m sure many privacy-minded users think that’s important to know before disabling their VPNs.

Additionally, would it be possible to allow posts/comments that don’t have any links or images? Or does even that introduce too much risk?
