TimLovesTech (AuDHD)(he/him)

The wild part is how he goes on and on about how we (the US) are being screwed on trade deals, and you can go back and watch an announcement of him making that deal during his 1st term. He has spent more time reversing or just fake adjusting his own trade terms this whole time while blaming Biden who left most of it untouched so as not to tank the economy he was trying to bring back to life.

Your generic “barcode” for something like a UPC is considered a 1D barcode and uses things like the spacing of the lines and thickness to encode data. Although some 1D barcodes can detect the barcode is damaged they cannot do error recovery.

Your 2D barcodes, like QR or Data Matrix, store data in both directions and depending on format can have varying levels of error correction (duplicate data) built into the barcode. They also obviously can take up less room and hold the same or more data as well. You do need a scanner that can do 2D barcodes though, as not all scanners will read them.

They are not at all the same thing.

A QR code is just a 2D barcode that can be used to hold a certain amount of alphanumeric data (and amount is limited by size).

While pkpass is an Apple format used in its wallet app to store data.

Sure, but then if a legit issue made the game unplayable by even the most devoted gamers, then someone with a handful of hours shouldn’t be surprised at all. Either way this meme makes zero sense.

Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he’s shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it’s been a “radical Left” issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way is just full panic.

They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the “evidence” they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

Have you tried any of the suggested working proton flags on protondb?

Hogwarts Legacy

Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn’t install TLP did you?

It is a bit of weighing the convenience of Steam dealing with your catalog of games, making them all just a download away, and keeping them outside of Steam and needing to come up with your own currarion method. And if you are buying (licensing it - because apparently nobody actually owns their games) the game outside one of these storefronts, you still have DRM to deal with most likely anyway.

Just have to weigh the pros vs cons.

If a group of people are influenced by whatever, and suddenly write a bunch of negative reviews I would consider that a review bomb if they played 0 hours, or 10k hours. Adding the weird stipulation that it needs to be people that never played it is not a requirement I’ve ever heard. Now is it more likely that the trolls will be people who haven’t played, absolutely, because the low cost (nothing) of doing so while the people that play games are actually gaming.

Review bombing is a coordinated online campaign where a large group of people post a deluge of negative reviews for a product, service, or business, often with the intent to harm its reputation or sales. This tactic is usually employed as a form of protest, coercion, or even just trolling, and is often seen in response to perceived issues with the product or its creators.

• Googles stupid AI

As the only platform that cares about gamers I would say it’s your only choice under Windows also. Unless you pay for boxed versions and then rip/crack them so your not messing with physical media constantly, but then disk space becomes and issue fast.

The thing about this meme is those people are either review bombing because “reasons”, or they are all masochists, either way I would disregard them as spam and look for better reviews.

“It obviously needs some tuning, but this is the radical left blowing a small thing out of proportion.”

• Twitter/Musk at some point (probably)

Do remember this is the guy who did 2 full Nazi salutes at an event for his presidential candidate, and America voted Trump in anyway, they give zero fucks about “blatant”. And training his AI on Nazi material is going to make his bot pro-Nazi, not rocket-surgery.

Before and after. Like you said, the occurrence of one unfortunately doesn’t stop humans from carrying out another elsewhere.

I mean this was kinda the plan for Twitter, and for his AI all along. This isn’t a bug, it’s working as expected.

All good! The internet makes it even harder to tell because I can’t “read” anyone over the ether.

I don’t think they need to make their games FOSS to do right by the consumer. If you have an online game and no longer want to support the server part, it would be super cool to share that code, but at the very least companies shouldn’t be trying to shut down community servers. The same goes for the game itself, the source code would be very cool, but not going after people who still want to play the game they’ve chosen to no longer support seems reasonable.

If a company is ending support their ability to enforce copyright should also end, outside of people that are trying to profit off trying to resell the game as their own (which probably doesn’t happen all that much).

By 2035 we could be under water, or all living in a radioactive hellscape. And the argument of paying people to use a free service breaks logic.

Well a bunch of them are using WSL to do their work, which isn’t the same, but shows how many people are just stuck with a Windows box.

In StackOverflow 2024 survey ~17% of both professional and personal use users were using WSL.

Edit - A word went missing due to my battle with autocorrect. 😩

Instead of Garuda I would suggest CachyOS. The best of Arch but made simpler for people that don’t want to customize everything.

The US district judge Vince Chhabria, in San Francisco, said in his decision on the Meta case that the authors had not presented enough evidence that the technology company’s AI would dilute the market for their work to show that its conduct was illegal under US copyright law.

Why is this not the same bar for people who got busted on Napster back in the day, or torrents more recently?
