The resolution of that story is presented as Picard, a representative of Starfleet, genuinely expressing a desire to find a more permanent and real solution for Moriarty. Unfortunately as established by Lower Decks (and indeed hinted at in the second Moriarty episode itself) Starfleet is actually really, really bad at follow-through.

A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding OP’s question and just suggesting places that offer free games.

OP is asking if there’s any not shady way to get a game that’s offered for free on Steam without DRM other than using the Steam client.

If the game is only available through Steam then unfortunately the answer is no. Depending on the nature of your objection to the Steam client there are some possible courses of action other than going somewhere sketchy though.

You could install it, download the game, copy it from the Steam install location, then uninstall Steam.

Alternatively keep a sandboxed Steam client installed in a VM to download the game which you extract from the VM.

Another option might be to just ask someone you know that does use Steam to download the game and send it to you.

I feel like there is detail missing here. I don’t understand how he rescued all six people without also getting himself back. Did he go back out to look for a seventh person?

Were you intentionally trying to provide an example of what OP was taking about?

Costco doesn’t give a shit about consumers. Costco cares about nurturing and communicating their brand, which is all about being pro-consumer.

You’re not strictly wrong, and I understand that corporations are not anyone’s friends, but the line between these two distinctions is vanishingly thin.

Yes.

O.P. used “Juggalo” as a derogatory term indicating a prejudiced and ill-informed person. The reply is in defence of ICP, and by extension Juggalos. Pointing out that they have made considerable strides in inclusivity.

Clearly making a thing that is already illegal double illegal will give the desired results.

If that were true they would’ve shut down long ago. Do you really think no one has tried to “put them on blast”?

I am unfamiliar with ICP’s content so can’t say exactly what is and isn’t in there, but horrifically, yes, “going with the flow” can very much include sexualizing minors depending on what decade you’re looking at.

For example, a now-infamous 1978 article in High Times.

No disagreement at all there.

Falling back to insults when you can’t provide a source isn’t terribly convincing.

I can at least provide examples of them stating directly the opposite.

I use Adobe Premiere for editing, and one of the many fun ways that Adobe is kind of ass is that it just doesn’t work on Linux.

• Luke, “My Linux Curse is NOT Over… But It’s Getting BETTER - Pt.2 Linux 30 Day Challenge 2026”, emphasis mine

Adobe is very clearly the party being blamed here, not linux.

Also:

The Proton compatibility layer has made incredible progress. Even actually during our last couple of months, it’s improved a lot. But it can’t do anything about developers who block their games on Linux.

From “I Can’t Go Back To Windows”, again emphasis mine. Again very clearly laying the blame at the developers of the incompatible software.

Presumably you can point me to a specific video, since you seem so completely sure of it. I’m not scrubbing through potentially hours of footage to try to find something that I don’t think exists.

As for your suggestion that he just reviews what he’s paid to do, sure, that seems plausible. I’m not trying to argue that it’s an impartial channel and people should be watching him. You certainly don’t need to defend a decision to not watch it.

There’s an important distinction between not caring about race in the sense that you treat all people you encounter with equal consideration, and not caring about race in the sense that you disregard all racially based socio-economic concerns. A person flippantly expressing a lack of caring reeks of the latter.

If a user needs Photoshop in their workflow then Linux isn’t an option for them. That is a problem with Linux, from a user perspective.

Who’s at fault for that problem is a different question, and I’d be surprised if LTT ever say that Linux is to blame.

The company I work for paid for Claude and has made it mandatory that we use it. It’s actually insane.

We also have “Code Rabbit” leaving LLM reviews on our PRs. It’s hilarious how often it completely misses the actual change and just waxes eloquent on the formatting changes that our linter enforces when we commit a change to a file that hasn’t been touched since prior to our current linter rules.

Even crazier, I’ve had a VP complain to me directly how much he hates reading LLM generated text that someone just spat out at him.

Yet here we are, still required to use it.

I cancelled my Netflix several years ago literally the very first time I got an error that too many people were watching or a screen wasn’t authorized or whatever the specific “you can’t share your account anymore” error was at the time.

The fact that account sharing was tacitly allowed was literally the only thing keeping the value proposition of having the account afloat.

Do you have any preferred method for submitting missing data? Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), The Shipping News (2001), and The Grand Seduction (2013) were all filmed in Newfoundland.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

I would be absolutely floored if enough people were on board to even make a noticable difference for just one week. Boycotts in the gaming space have been hilariously ineffectual, historically.

At least most responses seem to be pushing back on OP’s implication that this is some kind of double standard.
