On the other side, if you don’t want to sell it, then gathering private data can theoretically be seen as theft, which in turn could protect your privacy. Generally, it would be nicer if ownership of such data would not be transferable.

Actually, things seem to get better with age, just not as they seemed to be before:
Whereas happiness was once considered to follow a U-shape – with a relatively carefree youth, a tougher middle age and a more comfortable later life – the experts in wellbeing say our satisfaction now rises steadily with age instead.

I’m quite sure that limiting access to information and communication is supposed to reduce and prevent any form of organized protest. That’s why the Russian government is doing it in the first place.

Why do you think that helping the Russian government to enforce censorship is a good idea?

Changing Biden’s mind won’t automatically feed those people. Providing food and basic necessities to the civilians trapped there should be the first priority.

I would at least expect outstanding genocide and human rights abuse topics to be at the top of the list of things needed to be clarified before anything else can be discussed.

Playnite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.

As I previously said, I don’t advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

Can you please tell us something about the process of creating the tracks?

That’s what I thought too. But then again, there’s no “The Starcraft Band” which could record a new master. So I think that in the case of video games soundtracks which are not attributed to specific artists, “remaster” becomes a bit of a fuzzy term. You mention remix, but it could also be a cover or it could be accepted as a remaster (if it would be something official).
All of the above, including my original question is just curiosity and not meant to diminish the effort put into creating the audio tracks.

Bastion has a good soundtrack of which some tracks could benefit from a higher dynamic range.

Did you have access to the original material?
Edit: I’m trying to understand what “remaster” means in this context.
I doubt that I’ll ever get that far. I used to play games on “hard” difficulty and explore/find everything. Today I’m just glad if I find the time to play, have fun and enjoy the games, even if I need to play on “easy” difficulty. All the completionist aspirations are gone.
Thanks for the unintentional recommendation.

That’s not how the Covid vaccines work. It’s all a game of probabilities and you can still get sick. They may also help you get more easily through the sickness, but it’s not a guarantee. Previously having additional health issues and age are also factors to take into account.
So maybe his concerns aren’t completely without base.

I played it again a few months ago. IMO it’s still awesome. I should probably play the first part again too.
I used to love playing Netstorm and Darwinia.
