Afaik, there are only two dead Boeing whistle blowers, so you can't form any sort of actually meaningful statistics on their life expectancy due to the small sample size. However it's enough to say "that looks very suspicious and I think these 'suicides' should be investigated as murders", and I think the meme is just meant to draw attention to that.
The rest of the whistleblowers need to die before their life span can be added to the data.
Main reasons are for better software support and the option to use different desktop environments. For a gaming focused device I think SteamOS is great, but if I was docking my deck and using it as a development environment I would definitely want a less locked-down linux OS.
The appeal of Bazzite is that you still get all the benefits of SteamOS, but you also have more options for software and desktop environment. Other linux distros like OpenSUSE would have a even less restricted OS, although you would be making tradeoffs for some of the other nice things about SteamOS.
As far as I know, you can probably use chromium. You'll have to set that up yourself though, or use a 3rd party tool.
I agree, but I'm sure there are completely different teams for each and I appreciate this team choosing to support Linux more.
I haven't tried it, but I'm assuming the steam launch shortcut will have custom launch arguments to launch chrome as a full screen web app instead of the typical browser UI.
I get that, but this is paying to basically rent someone else's gaming PC so it's somewhat understandable I think. Main problem I have with most subscription services now is they either are charging a subscription for something that should be a one time purchase, or they're raising their prices while offering lower selection/worse service.
Truly a groundbreaking day.
I don't know exactly, I was just referencing what was said in the article I linked above, which has quotes and statements linked from both the hacker and some apex/eac teams.
I'm not entirely clear, but it sounds like the hacked Apex games were on computers at different locations, which would make me think they were likely hacked remotely without physical access to the hardware. The hacker claimed he performed the hack by using a vulnerability in the game process, and that his hacking method only let him compromise the game and didn't give him any access to the people's PC itself. The developers said that it was EAC itself being exploited, but that the specific exploit shouldn't allow him access to owner's PC.
The combination of statements makes me think this was a remote hack that exploited vulnerabilities in EAC/Apex Legends. Thankfully there seeming wasn't an escalation to give full access to the PC, but considering the level of access that kernel anticheat has I would be very concerned about the possibility for any future hacks that compromise anticheat systems.
There was a delay in federation between sopuli and lemmy.world (probably caused by the kbin federation spam bug) so I'm just seeing your post for the first time now. From first reading your post it sounded like a mod issue, I had to go back and disable several of my cp2077 mods after the last big game update because a lot of them broke. I would probably recommend just disabling it for the time being.
Looking at the mod page for it, the dev said at the beginning of march that he's going to be releasing a new version of the mod with optional files. Hopefully that will fix your issue once it comes out.
Sure, and to be honest that was my first thought when I heard about this plugin. But after actually trying it, it's a much nicer experience for managing my epic games than Heroic in my opinion. Once you have it set up and logged in, this is the closest I've come to feeling like the deck has native support for Epic games.
