Jup. So does the last.

Same here.

Game performance on Linux isn’t always the best. So I’ll keep a Win10 around.

Are Linux ports of games so hard to do? Genuine question. I am not a games dev.

Are “brother” the nice guys at the moment?

That is from a time when birds were still real.

Such a horrifying disaster!

I must buy a printer soon. Thank you for reminding me to avoid HP products.

Isn’t this basically the same as Android’s theft detection lock?

First of all: congratulations. Seriously. This is awesome! Secondly: you designed the most Steampunk looking heart you could. Bravo, truly a capital marvel of fine craftsmanship.

Can’t see anything I disagree with in her statements. Imo she’s spot on. The near future looks even bleaker now.

A few more, yes. More than 13.5 thousand more.

You need to watch more Star Trek, friend.

Specifically “The Next Generation”, Season 6, Episode 4, " Relics".

Thank me later. 😁

Correct me if I’m wrong, but platforms like GOG and Humble Bundle often provide the actual DRM free software which can be installedd independently of their platform and license.

Steam and Epic are not like that. Steam typically requires us to use its launcher to play games, as they are tied to our Steam accounts. Epic sometimes actually allows one to directly access the game files. Of course, the level of DRM can vary depending on the specific game and developer.

To be fair, the same is true of Steam, even with purchased games. We don’t own anything but a licence.

Conclusion: GOG > Steam/Epic

Here’s an argument for Epic: Their international pricing is WAY better than Steam’s. By what I gather, Epic is the go-to for many who live in low-income countries.

On the other side, their app still lags behind Steam by miles. For whatever unknown reason.

In other news, Lemmy will keep all its content open for free, making everything accessible to everyone.

Steam runs pretty smooth on Linux. Am currently using OpenSuse. Steam runs smooth. Games run smooth with one or two exceptions. For those exceptions I have a dual boot Windows 10 that doesn’t need Windows Update for anything I ask it to do.

This is deeper than it may seem.

Maybe an unpopular take:

Although we have basic needs, of course, like food, housing, and some entertainment, there is no true need for luxury or riches that go beyond our needs and some reasonable wants. The only reason we accumulate stuff is because there’s the notion that success can be measured by our net worth. Yet, this pursuit of material wealth leaves people feeling empty and unfulfilled. It’s a never-ending race for more, with no finish line in sight.

Riches are for those who do not see more meaning in life than being able to measure themselves against someone else’s numbers or having the feeling of “power”, which turns many into unlikeable, bitter jerks.

This proverbial diamond is nice. But it isn’t more than that. /rant

Reddit… Reddit? That was a while ago… huh, I have trouble recalling a previous life…

It ignores that people have consciences and forces such ones into violent behavior. That violates human freedom and dignity.

Some countries have implemented some sort of civilian service. Others just ignore the wishes of their citizens. You decide the moral path here.

Probably a stupid comment, but still: if you’re a coder, you might be quicker just writing such a script yourself. Just fetch the links, slice them up, sort them by version and wget the one with the highest number.

If you’re not a coder, maybe someone here can help out?

Thank you for using PeerTube!
