Just add this to Steam launch args and you’re good to go: faketime '2023-04-21 20:30:00' %command%
(Don’t set the LD_PRELOAD var yourself bc it breaks stuff, use the included wrapper script as I showed above)
The needed info for SteamDepotDownloader is on steamdb, the feature I mentioned was added on the april 17th 2023 build. Still didn’t check when it was removed but it’s still present on the april 20th one.

So, wie Audiophile um Rock-Platten aus den späten 1990ern und den 2000ern einen großen Bogen machen (zu Sound-Matsch gemastert wegen Loudness-War), werden Bibliophile irgendwann mal bevorzugt Bücher kaufen, die vor 2023 erschienen sind. Weil man da weitgehend sicher sein kann, dass diese Bücher noch ohne AI-Unterstützung und ganz sicher nicht von einer AI alleine geschrieben wurden. #justthinkin

Elon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla pay plan wins shareholder approval -
That's paying Musk 9 times the total turnover of Tesla in 2024 (which was 1% higher than that in 2023). Sounds a bit over the top. It's also more than $100 for every person on earth. The combined result of the greediness of Musk and the craziness of Tesla's shareholders.
“Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world.."
Oh really?
1) Emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising
2) The degree of decoupling is far from enough
3) for the United Kingdom, the reduction 2015-2023 was -18.41%, average
-2.51% per year. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, an annual reduction of 10% is needed.
4) Those decoupling countries are not compensating for the growth in emissions elsewhere.
Last night was the second anniversary of the time that somebody hit-and-run -ed my house, destroying the gas main riser and sending me out in the pouring rain and dark, barefoot, to hold the roaring gas leak closed with my palm like that apocryphal Dutch kid and the dam.

I know some complain about George R.R. Martin and his speed of writing his book series: he started writing "Song of Ice and Fire" in 1991 and so far published five big books (1996, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011) with two more planned.
Beginners.
Ever heard of Donald Knuth? He started writing "The Art of Computer Programming" in 1962, planned in 12 chapters. So far, six and a half chapters have been published, in five big books (1968, 1969, 1973, 2011, 2023) with thre…
