The EU actually just released an app that enabled users to proof their age to an apps or website. This enables the user to stay completely anonymous, only the minimal required information is passed on to the app or website.

US take not please. We don't need your BS.

Quoting: Liam DaweThe article is correct, the GitHub page explanation just isn't particularly great right now. It works with non-Steam games, that's part of the point of it.

Thank you very much for clarifying (I'm honored).

Well, in that case I have no idea how this could possibly work (and I am a game developer). Unless you have some kind of hack per game (?)

Or this article is incorrect, or I don't understand the technology behind it.

How I understand it: It is for getting Steam achievement offline and without using the Steam API. This is why it requires a "Steam Emulator".

Thus, this will not work with games you buy on Epic or GOG. It still requires a game from Steam.

In my understanding

Quoting: JarmerI'm in the market soon for a laptop ...

I'm very happy with my 14 inch Tuxedo laptop. Might be interesting for you as well.

Probably cheaper than Framework and lots of configuration options.

That was last year was it not?

Which failed IIRC.

They are doing another one now. As we speak.

Quoting: KimyrielleBut hey, that's just what should be done. I have ZERO faith in any lawmakers on the planet to introduce "business unfriendly" legislation, unless people start dying left and left. And that won't be the case here, so...

Maybe your are this synical because you don't live in the EU, but in the recent years multiple laws have passed to improve the environment, consumer health and animal welbeing, to name a few. And these laws were definitely not friendly for (local) businesess. You should really look into it, I hope it makes you a more positive person :)

I would like to be able to wishlist games I already own, so I can gift them when they are discounted.

I am used to playing Minecraft via the Prism Launcher (because I am on Linux obv). But I recently had "the pleasure" to experience the default Windows 11 Minecraft Launcher. And.. it's horrible. They really want you to buy these texture packs, rent servers, and buy other games. Everything screams for attention. A real master class on how not to do UI/UX.

An excellent example of:
On Windows they want to control you. On Linux you are in control.

It's so weird that Linux users have the better Minecraft experience.
