I wouldnt buy it until after release given the Denuvo probability. I’d hold off until it’s proven to work and doesn’t break for Linux users. Civ6 currently works as both native linux and priton/windows version on my machine, but I know others have had troubles with the native version. If Denuvo prevents proton running the windows version then many linux gamers may have an issue.

I definitely counsel a wait and see approach.

I have bought civ3 through 6, I’m interested but def not committed to 7 and Denuvo and its personal datagathering is a redline no for me.

YMMV

That sounds…low.

I assume it’s only confirmed civilians on territory Ukraine retained ? Because Mariupol alone was a significant number.

Here’s the link to the previous post with denuvo as a question

I’d have to go back and find it, but no my recollection was that it was based on an official statement.

Certainly the survey was an official firaxis one.

Yeah previous ones ran fine, however there was a post on here maybe 4 months urging everyone to fill in a survey to convince firaxis not to cut off linux by using a particular anticheat that locks linux out in the new Civ7. I just assumed you were the same guy.

I’d hold off pre-ordering and wait for release as while there are Steam specs like you posted I also found a blurb about a denuvo DRM.

Having said that Steam are pretty good for refunds if stuff doesnt work

Have they abandoned the anti- cheat kernel bollocks that was going to lock out linux users then ?

The Saudis footed the bill for most of that $44bn - most is only out of pocket about $10bn of it iirc.

Fwiw he didn’t actually intend to buy it, he was shitposting and got nailed by the SEC, only THEN did he try to work out what to do with it.

Unfortunately the “what” turned out to be destroying democracy and helping Trump turn the US into a feudal state

Got the captcha endless wave yesterday using freetube on linux until I changed VPN nodes. I don’t think it’s proxying (not checked though)

Original S had the free supercharging attached to the vehicle and therefore transferable, they killed that around 2017 or 2018 iirc, everything after that was non transferrable.

There were two incidents of pedestrians being deliberately killed in Melbourne back in 2017 but neither were terrorist (both mental health and drug issues)

Probably the Dec 2017 one who was an Afghan refugee. 1 dead and 17 injured.

Yes, the Tory plan for the NHS is a sibling of the American “starve the beast” model where you make it hard for a public service to function effectively then go “see it doesn’t work, it needs to be got rid of” when it inevitably has issues.

The end game is to privatise it, making money for tory mates in the process and removing yet another social benefit paid out of tax revenue.

The problem for the Tories is that even Tory voters love the NHS, so they can’t just privatise straight out it like they did everything else. They need to make a case for why, they need to break the British attachment, or at least get people to care less.

Be aware, if you’re not, that stealth privatisation has already been done through outsourcing mandates. This increases costs (because the outsourcer wants to make profits) rather than saving it, helping accelerate their case.

Well there’s zero chance Macron will resign, so we’ll need to consider the other options…

So, his attempt to co-opt the far right into supporting his agenda failed, so he either has to make more concessions to RN to get them onboard (doesn’t really matter who the PM is, more what he will promise to get their support. Or he will try and get the NFP to agree to his agenda…which they won’t particularly after shunning them and refusing talks.

So, it’s either play a game of appointing PMs who lose confidence votes to run out the clock, or Macron making concessions to one side.

I’m betting on running out the clock, he seems utterly unwilling to negotiate with the left, and if he rolls over for the right the centrists get annihilated next election

Canada and Australia have significant Uranium reserves, it doesnt need to come from Russia and Kazakhstan. One of the African nations is also a significant source iirc

There has been peer reviewed published papers a number years ago (nearly 10 iirc) that phenylephrine is no better than a placebo. It’s not news and the stuff should be shelved with the homeopathy products.

Hmm thanks for that, I read some very different messaging over the last year. I’ll try to dig it out

Because they’ve been told by the US they’re not allowed to use their US supplied arms to do so. They’ve been asking for permission for at least a year. Refer also constraints placed on Ukraine

Article forgets to discuss how a removal of sanctions due to withdrawing would help alleviate the economic crisis.

That assumes sanctions would be quickly removed. Given the massive list of war crimes Russia has committed in UA I sincerely doubt many in the West are lifting sanctions before the offenders are punished - something Putin is unlikely to agree to.

It is a catch22 because that gives him limited reasons to withdraw. Russia are very much in “crash through or crash” mode now because they see no way out and still hope the west will withdraw support.

To answeryour question. Withdrawal of sanctions will remove some pressure points - improved revenue by being able directly sell fossil fuels and thus getting a higher price per barrel; ability to buy critical components such as aviation parts and ICs. Most importantly China will be able to buy significant major assets and invest (they’re avoiding overt help to avoid sanctions themselves)

That will take significant time to make a difference though, the decimation of the workforce will still be an issue. Russia will become a Chinese serf regardless of whether they retain Ukrainian land or withdraw completely. Their economy is now in such a bad state their only hope is a rescue by China. One which will be priced at firesale “cents on the dollar” prices

Timeshift for configs to a locally attached drive. Home partition to cloud with rsync

100% correct until the last sentence. Actually millions of EU nationals left never to return.
