It's a cracked version of the game that has been heavily compressed to reduce download size. This is why the installer will eat a lot of CPU resources during installation. While you probably won't be banned, I would generally avoid playing these games through steam as a precaution. Usually multiplayer doesn't work normally anyways.

But what does it actually infer? The article is very low on details on that.

I wonder when the employees knew. From the news it looks like the closure had been decided on the C-level.

I would not be surprised if a new studio springs into existence from this.

I know this is the FOSS community but I personally recommend inoreader. It has great usability through its keyboard shortcuts and the ability to pull the full article from the website without clutter (similar to reader add-ons).

If anyone knows a FOSS alternative with similar features, I'd like to know.

Lemmynsfw uses a custom version that that removes the blur for nsfw images but that's it I think.

Thanks for reminding me the next season is airing!

My guess is that it goes back to when your instance first started following the community or all the way in case of a local community.

While traveling an American also admitted that it was refreshing to get a straight answer to their questions instead of the usual "bs and second guessing". Seems like it must be hard to have a serious conversation in the states.

I live in Munich and it's not crazy here at all. At least by American standards. While people call Munich a big village it does not come with the backwards political attitude of villages and people generally don't openly advertise their political views. The state of Bavaria often likes to protrait itself as first among equals in politics which I think is where the reports of conservatism come from but it's not a problem I think.

Ok the queer subject: there has been a specifically gay subculture in Munich for quite a while and I think there are quite some queer folks in the local chaos computer club chapter as well. The Christopher street day is also celebrated in Munich.

Munich is a beautiful city, I'm sure you will feel quite at home once you got past the (comparatively) frosty German attitude and made some friends :)

OSM is one of the sources for this and apparently the plan is for this dataset to feed back into OSM as well

I would suggest not separating the storage from the server that far. It would probably be wiser to run the app with less latency to the storage and accept more latency on the web frontend. In short: use your VPS as a gateway only and put the actual host for the respective app into your home behind a VPN.
