A new analysis finds that tech giant Palantir Technologies paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, despite raking in hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to build out a mass network to surveil Americans in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Palantir, which has landed multiple massive contracts under the Trump administration, made $1.6 billion in net income last year.

It grew so much last year that it joined the list of the 20 most valuable U.S. companies, with its stock more than doubling in value in the first half of 2025 alone. In a report to shareholders, the company said it was “crushing” expectations in terms of growth, with revenue growing 93 percent year over year at the end of 2025.

    No operating system stops that, just changes the number. Found frashes to be fewer and milder on linux.

      Yeah New Vegas is relatively easy to get going it’s keeping it going that’s the problem. Regardless I wouldn’t say it’s a standard for me for what’s modable, for reference I’ve modded everything from Deus Ex to Arcanum to fucken Jedi Academy which in my experience are the real bastards to get working.

        Unless youre using the original version if the os the mod framework was written for, linux/wine/proton or full emu is better than windows.
