I heard about it and went to the store page to check it out. Saw denuvo, and marked the title as ignored. Not even worth pirating at that point, fuck off with that garbage. I own zero games with denuvo and that’s not changing. Even if they remove it I’m still not buying it.

I hope piracy ends up beating denuvo so that garbage stops existing, not so I can pirate it.

In theory yes, but in practice no. Most companies have implemented them in the dumbest ways and have not used them to increase security. They can pretty much all be worked around with your phone number or email. It should also be a choice not trying to trick users into using it.

Amazon can fuck right off with their prompt to save on every single login. Microsoft will still try to save passkeys even when you turn it off in windowsso you can use a password manager. They are just creating a fucking mess.

Password + Passkey as 2fa would be nice.

Same but I went with Tidal. Mostly just because I don’t want to deal with organizing a music library. I used to have a huge library from ripped CDs until a family member installed iTunes on my computer and it destroyed it all by reorganizing everything wrong.

Bonus when you’re using a password manager so it’s guaranteed to be correct since you’ve filled it with that for years.

To archive the good ones, because you are correct. Modern stuff is mostly just crap.

It’s slowly becoming a documentary…

Everything on gigabit ethernet and everything is perfect. Wireless clients are ok but the occasional stutter. I wouldn’t even try the host being wireless. It’s more reliable that steam for me.

I only do 1080p60 streams because I’m playing on a TV if I’m not at my computer.

Their games suck anyways. Patapon was good but that’s about it.

NP, you have to do it on the web interface, not in the app. You can also decrease the frequency if you don’t want it to last forever.

I think his point is even games with no updates anymore can have frequent shader updates if using a proton version that is being rapidly updated. Like Proton experimental.

If it runs with say proton 10 then he should see less frequent updates. From the sounds of it, that game runs badly in general so older proton might not work out.

Netbird, it doesn’t use much for data for me, just disable expiry and it’ll stay connected. I would guess the third party app is part of the problem.

I switched to Fedora years ago. Linux mint has been not as good for a long time.

What a coincidence. Snaps being garbage is the reason I quit using Ubuntu.

If I remove a snap and install a deb package, I should not have to do multiple workarounds to stop it from being replaced with the snap package automatically. The firefox snap doesn’t work with a bunch of shit at all.

All of that should be blockable. They will never do it but it’s fucking dumb any of that shit was ever acceptable.

In my opinion widgets stopped being any good like a decade ago.

I like the idea, the implementation is just garbage.

Autostart as an option is good.

Not being able to block apps from autostarting is unacceptable.

Looking at you android, fuck right off with that shit.

Play protect will remove things that google doesn’t like, not malware.

Working at a phone retail place, I have never seen malware not from the Play store. There is fuckloads of malware on the Play store. Most of it faking Google’s own apps which you’d think they would care about, but they don’t. All of that walks straight through play protect and in some cases on Samsung phones will abuse their security features to not let you remove it easily.

Fake apps that replace your home screen, display ads every 5 seconds, and close any app that you’re in are rampant on the Play store and play protect will do nothing about it.

I’ve had green screens show up on Bazzite while restarting or if steam crashes(rare). All amd system as well.

Huh those all kinda suck, I switched to Joplin but it’s limited for collaboration.

I’m pointing out that by default Microsoft still installs it as part of the suite even though it is useless, as with half of Windows these days.
