For sure. With the world moving towards fully digital records that child is going to be absolutely fucked in the future.

Born outside of the hospital system with no record of the birth. Essentially an unregistered individual.

It already is illegal, and euthanasia while "tolerated" is also illegal to perform by a medical professional.

What are they going to do, arrest a corpse? Fine by me.

If you post the magnet link I will put it on a seedbox and forget about it for a while ^^

I dealt with it by choosing to not have kids years ago. I didn't ask to be born, and I refuse to force that on anyone else.

Once things become too difficult, I'm pulling my own plug.

I'm giving it the VVVVVV treatment, which was sometimes referred to as V6. This has 15 so A15 it is!

A toxic and abusive family, and my partner (marriage) is Dutch. It was an easy decision!

This past year hasn't been easy and it was the first time I felt any regrets and a desire to return.

From my understanding, we do, to an extent (as in no one did anything about it) and up until this year no one cared enough to actually do something about it besides provide lip service. 1 January was when we got a new website and phone number to actually report things: https://discriminatie.nl The wonderful thing about that is, I can report past discrimination. Due to my Deafness, the recruiters are forced to communicate with me through email. I'm a data hoarder, which means, I've got receipts, bitch! lol sorry got excited there... but seriously, I've got quite a few emails turning me down for work, even at McDonald's.

The McDonald's one was the most infuriating one, as I worked at one for 3 years before moving to this city; my application was several months after I had moved. I had a good recommendation from my previous managers, and the new location still insisted on gatekeeping with "you're Deaf, how can you do this job then?" before any interview took place.

Some sources for the discrimination claims are linked below. I've translated the following titles word for word, with more correct translation in parentheses (articles are in Dutch, the site should work in any decent translator)

Women, foreigner, or limited (disabled)? Then often discrimination feelings at work:

State's commission: racism and discrimination work everywhere through (throughout everywhere)
https://nos.nl/artikel/2501700-staatscommissie-racisme-en-discriminatie-werken-overal-door

In the same vein, in English - they're all from the same site, as I'm subscribed via RSS:

https://nltimes.nl/2023/10/30/structural-discrimination-racism-among-civil-servants-dutch-municipalities-study

These are housing and racism (also English):

https://www.iamexpat.nl/career/employment-news/how-to-deal-racism-workplace

That's just your everyday discrimination. I'm not going to bother to go into the recent elections and incoming policy changes that have left foreigners feeling quite unwelcome in this country.

Disclaimer: not lived in the US in over 10 years

I'm Deaf and used to rely on interpreters. The ADA improved quality of life immensely, as I only needed to inform doctors, schools, and employers when I needed one, and they would provide instead of the burden being on me, the person who didnt ask to be Deaf. My right to an interpreter during interviews, performance reviews, and meetings was violated several times. After a few reports, that got resolved.

Now in The Netherlands? Thats another story, we desperately need an equivalent of the ADA here. The discrimination is DISGUSTING.

Oh damn, you're using the snap version of Steam, this is unfortunately outside of my area of experience :(

Some key error messages I see are:

/home/pokko/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper.sh: line 53: /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone: Permission denied
/home/pokko/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper.sh: line 60: /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces: Permission denied

and

flock /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf LOCK_SH failed. errno = 13vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed, unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan.
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!

You've got permission errors and a GPU driver issue somewhere, likely related to the permission errors. The flock errors stand out to me also, as they are fonts. Maybe required fonts for the game to run?

I don't have any idea about your hardware issues. They're likely unrelated if the game has already been played without issue.

For the steam diagnosing, start with running steam from your terminal, by running steam. You may get lucky and the error is clearly identified in the console.

If that fails, backup $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/221100 - the 221100 is the app ID of of DayZ on the steam store. After backing it up, delete the original 221100 directory and re-launch the game. This doesn't delete the game, but rather deletes the Proton prefix for the game.

If the game launches, copy any save files (if any) you may have in the backed-up 221100 directory over to the new one.

The above worked for me when I had similar issues when playing Batman: Arkham Asylum.

To be thorough, have you tried any other games to rule out your hardware being an issue?
