In the end I’m learning how everything works “behind the scenes” with a shock therapy (disclaimer: while I didn’t use Linux as my personal desktop, I have a decade of experience with Linux servers, otherwise this migration would have been impossible to understand for me)

I was expecting for example an easy toggle for dark mode instead needs to set several constants on the terminal (for GTK, for qt, and so on)

Everything needs one hour of searching but I’m documenting everything for future reference in a markdown file

And I had to set home as a git repository because otherwise a literal comma in a wrong spot would crash everything and I wouldn’t be able to revert it

For example I wanted to show the WiFi status on the taskbar (default doesn’t show) and I forgot a comma in the JSON configuration file. The taskbar (waybar) didn’t even start next time and I was presented with a completely empty wallpaper lol

Instead of buying a license for a game for $70 you subscribe to a rental service that gives you access to 500 games for $10/month.

Or, instead of buying a $500 console or a $800 PC you just buy a $60 controller and you stream those games running on “the cloud” (=someone else’s console) for $15/month

Problem is that the service is provided by Microsoft at a loss and when they’ll get enough critical mass, they’ll enshittify it.

The economic proposition is good, but I think it’s just to teach gamers that “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”

That data is independently researched or Samsung gave that to the EU and it’s published as-is?

now they try to backtrack by giving another year of w10 updates if the user:

1. logs in with the microsoft account
2. enables backup to onedrive (presumably filling it so they can nag all the time “hey buy our cloud subscription”)
3. uses bing as default

question: if i’m using steam in linux under wine, it counts as windows or linux?

Set up automatic updates

You like to live dangerously, right?

You mean Teams or the other incompatible Teams, with the colors inverted on the icon?

Yesterday I installed cachyos and I was shocked to see that the 3gb install image was actually a net install and I couldn’t install it offline. I used my phone as hotspot thinking “how much data would download it anyway, maybe it just needs internet to do geo2ip for suggesting locale” (it actually does that) but instead it downloaded another 3gb

Imagine a country, they spent billions over the last two centuries to build influence and they got to the top. Foreigners are willing to pay thousands of dollars for getting a degree in such country but no, let them go to a different country and get influenced by somebody else

Because it’s completely impossible to create a fake account that worship trump and has a lot of maga posts

Don’t need any coding skills for doing apps. You can do it with a single well constructed prompt (and 400 other prompts trying to fix the initial bugs and all the dozens other bugs introduced prompt after prompt)

nah it’s a lazy fork so seeing how he chooses people (they’re either cheap or friends of friends or both) “truth” can easily have a totally new security issue

maybe the server has a root password that’s “trump454748$$$”

And then retrain on the hallucinated knowledge

It’s not normal here? I’m only Lemmy+mastodon (with a bsky bridge)

The problem is that the people that got banned did not pirate the shit and paid with real money the games.

If the hardware is mine and i paid a valid license for the game, i am then entitled to play that game whatever i would like to play it. I can’t get a $450 paperweight if one day they decided that those 8-in-1 multiplexers for the dock aren’t supported. Or if one day a production lot of cartridges is glitched and they blacklist people at random

If they blacklisted the console, then it’s ok to block online gaming (and I would 100% agree with that), but playing offline games should still be allowed.

I vote with my wallet and i don’t support this shit

i think you are trolling or you have some issue that limits your comprehension. I’m sorry if it’s the second.

When the machine it’s designed to work exclusively online, tell me how to keep it offline. To enjoy the nice premium wallpapers?

It’s not like the x360 era where online access was completely optional

it can be both. My hardware, my games and once i pay i should be able to do whatever the fuck i want with them
