What if they want to use the branding again in the future? They will do a gatcha mobile game with a never ending story. Don't forget to try your luck on getting the Assassin's Creed collab!

Sometimes things are unlabeled, and this is for that
Deadlock doesn't look bad
Disable downloading DirectX and any other redisfributable
You are on Win11, you already have them
Ok but XP was literally 2000 with a prettier default theme
To be honest that would be more Instagram, where I've seen people get shown exclusively meme videos with audio quickly and constantly repeating the n-word
Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?
I use Newpipe
Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future
To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.
- Let's say an application requires
libexample1. It works, the library is available too. - Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
- But eventually a
libexample2gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn't work on this version. The older release of the library then get's abandoned. - Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
- Now application is borked
Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.
An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.
I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.
Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.
On the Chinese only servers they forbsure don't allow it
The only difference is that Reddit's doesn't work. You can skip days it will resume counting just fine. It is just a counter of how many days you interacted with the site, for now.
