Step 1. Think of a game that you loved 10+ years ago and you can't buy anymore (like Black & White, Need For Speed: Underground,...)

Step 2. Go to myabandonware.com and use the search function.

Step 3. Use Lutris to manage the installation process.

You won't get everything. But you will get a lot of things.

It's not lost if you are capable of going to myabandonware.com and using ~~Kurtis~~Lutris.

Good effort, regardless.

The toolset they use to run their containerlike system wrapping the games is called "pressure vessel".

Very important.

For Germans there is

I'm sure there are other similar services in other countries.

Just to be clear: Dutch people agree that rapists of 12 year old girls (such as the convicted child rapist van de Velde, who raped a 12 year old girl) should be punished and not go on to represent their country at the Olympics. There may however be old farts and creeps in positions of power that try to make excuses for convicted child rapist Van de Velde who believe a technicality over an unprovable state of mind matter when it comes to the damage caused by having a convicted child rapist represent your country both to the victim of convicted child rapist Van de Velde and to the reputation of the Netherlands.

TLDR: Convicted child rapist Van de Velde should be kicked off his team and the Member of the committee that thought it was relevant whether he is paedophile or not should resign. Both are a disgrace to the country and should not be used as representatives.

  1. I don't see how the supreme Court has jurisdiction over the candidate selection process for either party.
  2. The VP candidate is picked by the presidential nominee in both parties, so I don't see why Trump changing his pick should be an issue (other than to confirm 100% that he has 0 loyalty and waffles on even the most trivial issues).
  3. They are not gonna swap him out.

Membership fee? For shaving?

No. He is bad and he should feel bad. He was sad because his evil plans didn't work out the way he had hoped. He is alone because he abuses the people around him because he considers himself a superior being for whom others are just play things.

His backstory of abuse goes a way to explain why he is the way he is, but it does not excuse it.

What is the upside of allowing the government to kill citizens?

Another reason to use Logitech mice: ease of repair. Apart from skates covering the screws on the underside, Logitech does not use glue to keep it's mice together. And due to their popularity, replacement parts (including the battery btw) are widely available even for older models.

If every country did as great as the UK per capita we would be completely and irrevocably fucked.

What I would like instead is a browser that treats tabs more like virtual machines that you can roll back, suspend to disk and resume. Little package of data that get frozen in time and are externally searchable.

Maybe look at ArchiveBox. IIRC it has pretty much everything you ask for including an import from your browser history and bookmarks.
