This might sound rather stupid but, have you tried having a separate /boot partition, alongside /boot/efi? I think just having / and /boot/efi is not enough for Fedora and its ilk.

Trickle-down AInomy!

It has to be more nuanced than “self-published”

It doesn’t need to. Definining it as “self-publishing” is enough.

otherwise everything EA craps out is “indie”.

And because of the above, EA games might very well fit the definition, yes.

This clearly shows that maybe we shouldn’t use “indie” to describe good games (or the lack of it to describe bad ones). It should just be used to define “means of publishing”.

The fact that they were there in the first place is a problem.

Why does a game that has been published by some other company calls itself “indie”???

The term itself is becoming more and more meaningless with the passing time.

If a feature needs a button to disable it, it IS opt-out, not opt-in.

You too are falling for their bullshit, as well as to my blocklist.

plonk

Since when a kill switch means “opt-in”???

You are falling for their bullshit.

Except this particular ban happened in 2023, way before the paypros got in the scene.

Along with the official release date of the game (December 2), the statement revealed that Horses was indefinitely banned on Steam in June 2023 – days before it was set to premiere on IGN’s Summer of Gaming event.

You forgot the part where the installer fails just right before the end. Every time.

Had this occuring on both my laptop and someone else’s that I was trying to install Bazzite to, which resulted in installing Fedora on their laptop instead (and back to EndeavourOS on my end), and even Fedora’s new installer errored out too. Thankfully the OS was working though.

I am suspecting your 6th point for that one, which even if it wasn’t I consider it a colossal failure on their part because it is NOT TELEGRAPHED AT ALL. I shouldn’t have to stumble upon random forum posts to learn about it, come on.

What about Fooyin?

What’s this made of?

“AI is a tool when it comes to AI art”

I find that rather dumb. Because tools are made to help people. You use a hammer to nail things, for example. You don’t leave the hammer to do all the nailing by itself. If your only involvement there is just with your prompt, then you didn’t do anything, the computer did. This would be like saying “I commissioned a drawing from this artist and told them what to do, therefore I made this drawing and this artist is a tool”.
