Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

And much of the US "journalists" are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government's positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:

The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration's National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they're not exactly a source to be trusted.

I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I'd be surprised if the game didn't run as-is without any tweaks.

I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.

These days the GNU rm specifically warns you and asks you to confirm before proceeding

One of the multiple lemmy newcomers that defederated from us; in their admins' words, because we apparently "deny certain genocides".

@[email protected] what "genocides" would those be exactly ?

What's the browser you're using ? and also please do:

glxinfo|egrep -i "^direct"

You're looking for a line that says "direct rendering"; specifically whether or not it says "yes". This will help pinpoint if you're actually using your GPU or some onboard chipset instead.

With that being said, even assuming you use the latter, stuttering video playback in the browser is weird; if using firefox, out of curiosity: try to disable or enable hardware rendering (options > advanced > general), and try again. Switch it back to what it was when your test is done.

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

I stand corrected, that does look close to noscript's feature, thanks !

Though I don't know if it has a "whitelist mode" (all JS disabled by default everywhere but content still fetched) like the default noscript has.

uBlock Origin does not block javascript execution depending on the domain. They do not serve the same purpose.

noscript is essential security-wise IMO

because the capitalists, backed by fascists, are here to loot European countries and rip the wiring out of the walls as the profitability crisis continues

Healthcare-wise this is already well under way, at least in France and the UK.
