midnight CET: 753k! thats +30k in the last 6 hours. it’s speeding up, i didn’t expect that tbh. 50k people in 12 hours, wow

you need an digital ID to sign, so bots wouldn’t help.

no more transformations or trans molecules, transmission is extra banned with Brainworm believing into miasma instead of germ theory

that sounds like either the last game ever made or the largest money grave ever made, make your pick 🙃

IIRC that was caused by a buffer underflow, his probability to try to go nuclear was set to literally zero, which was stored in an unsigned int, and in-game policies reduced it further, causing a nuke-maxing ghandi

in the “supporting information” is a video of all 5 study participants btw

Valve will not change at least as long as Gaben is in command, and since it’s a money printing machine for the owner I’m pretty sure it will stay consumer friendly for quite a bit longer than Gaben. Enshittification is a direct consequence of a company being beholden to shareholders more than anything else, and in this case there are none.

anonymity is not the issue when you have people posting fascist shit using their real name without consequences.

the latest beta update for the steam deck offers an new option to limit charging to 80/85/90% btw!

those guides are great - had to swap out my display because i cracked it, was done in under 1 hour. the repairability of this thing is insane

I am sure that MS is very concerned. If i take my usecase, the things that held me on windows from dos5/Win3.1 up to Windows10 were gaming and that i grew up with it. I sometimes dabbled in linux, but since there was no meaningful way to use my game library, i switched back, because even dualbooting made no sense (what for? just so i can boot back after browsing a few web pages?)

This time after 3 days i deleted my windows partition, even while i was still fighting a bit with the Wayland/NVidia combo - that was shortly after the explicit sync drivers were available.

The young’ins want to play their games, and now they can without ever coming into contact with microsoft at all if not for the anticheat-outliers (who knows, maybe there’s some money flowing that stops them from activating linux support? i know most anticheat in theory does work under linux). And if they start playing on Linux, there’s no reason for them to switch over to Windows at all.

try finger but edge

(my android phones don’t have buttons and haven’t for years)

Sorry to break this to you, but the people writing bots can also get over this barrier very easily - see that link to the faceswap in this thread? That makes it possible for every person with a bit of tech understanding or at least a bit of persistence to ignore this. it’s not even a speed bump for people whose job (yes, job) it is to write bots.

This does nothing to make the bots go away, but it gives Meta a full facescan, which is the fucking last thing to hand over to anyone - a data breach at Meta would mean that everyone around you will get scammed by videocallers with your face; not even your bank manager would be able to detect that something is off if he knows you personally (a short phone call with you to get a voice snippet makes the illusion perfect!)

The political shenanigans in the US are also a reason to NOT give facescans out to anyone.

The solution to bots does not lie in giving up your anonymity. There are no shortcuts here that don’t do more harm than good.

I’ve set up my SO with adfree alternative clients for Youtube 3 times now, and she always defaults back to the adinfested youtube app - and she’s at least a competent user. i cannot wrap my head around it, but it’s her time and attention she’s wasting, not mine.

hardcode all the ip’s!

Dude, my Steam Link and Steam Controllers are still in active use and get updates to this day. I even have 2 backup Steam Links - at the end they were selling them at 5€ per piece, and since i use it to stream pretty much everything to my TV, i got some in reserve.

I’m still on the first one, and one of the Controllers is now working with my Steam Deck out of the box.

I agree (a bit) on the Steam machines, those were pretty much a flop when seen as isolated device - but they laid the groundwork for the Deck.

Publicly traded companies are detrimental to the health of the (gaming) ecosystem. A Titanfall game would have been a financial and cultural net positive for sure - maximizing for profit means losing out on everything else.

as a GUI pleb i just doubleclick the file, which opens kate.

i edit the file and click save, get asked for my password

and all is fine.

How many hit points had the Pope, an high level archpriest? he was sick, so he definitely wasn’t at max hp, but he fumbled that roll hard.

that was literally me yesterday when i had to backup my wifes windows pc. maybe i can get her to switch on her old pc when support runs out…
