@prophet_goddess @witchfynder_finder Dark souls 3 is my favourite one >_>
@DialMforMara I've been playing through it again on my phone, and... I don't think it's worth it.

fun with linux
Amazing.
I have the Zoom client installed on my computer (the only things I use it for don't need encryption). And every time I leave the computer for any length of time, when I come back, the Zoom client has started on its own.
It's not a specific interval. It's not a specific time. It just seems to be any time I'm away from the computer for more than 15 minutes; when I wake the computer back up, Zoom's sitting there, waiting.
I check running daemons, I poke at background tasks - nothing.
Finally, it occurs to me: "when I wake the computer up". So on a hunch, I check xscreensaver - which has an oooold screensaver called "zoom". I don't have that screensaver installed, but it's listed in the possible screensavers, so xscreensaver checks for it - and it doesn't just check the screensavers directory, it checks $PATH too.
I remove the "zoom" line from ~/.xscreensaver - and the problem goes away.
@rey not much. happy that I'm up early in the day, though

Epic Games Store and money
@DaisyHead they don't have a cart system, which is inherently frustrating, but I don't think that affects me if I'm just making one purchase.
I hadn't heard about the security problems though, thanks for letting me know
Epic Games Store and money
(the reason I brought this up is that Metro Exodus is currently on sale on both GOG and EGS, and I'm trying to decide if saving $10 extra is worth being locked into this platform)
Epic Games Store and money
@BatElite on steam it's absolutely the case - their legal terms are that you don't actually own the game, you own an "indefinitely long subscription" to the game, which they can cancel at any time for any reason.

I'm… slightly worried about the Epic Games Store.
Their current "megasale" has a special deal going, where *everyone* gets a $10 coupon just for signing in.
And if you use that coupon to get $10 off a game purchase.... you get another $10 coupon to use.
This (along with the weekly free games) doesn't seem like a financially viable idea…
It seems like they're desperately hoping for customers.
What's going to happen to all the games people bought if EGS stops working?
