I posted a link in my original comment about using WeChat to spy...

Tencent owns 40% of Epic. That is very likely a controlling share which means being able to decide who is on the board and influence their decision making.

I reckon energy companies should be responsible for industrial sized storage to make better use of the feed in but I hear you.

Been working untouched for a long time but might be time to update. To that maintained one, thanks!

I'm OK if you own the game you are making exclusive to your platform. Bribing devs is shitty practice. They also sit and wait for a game's early access to gain momentum on Steam first before offering them money to leave.

NOW this is interesting. Still won't give Epic my money but I get plenty of games from Twitch for EGS.

The one upside is if the game flops it gives lots of users a chance to not buy it. But any game with multiplayer it effectively kills the MP mode.

MW5 and Satisfactory amongst others were limited to Epic for years.

We waited years for MW5 to come off Epic and finally got it. Same with Satisfactory.

That's literally the point of their Launcher.... DRM.

I'm sorry but Epic is owned by Tencent. This means at any point in time, China's Government can enforce trojans to be installed into your PC. Maybe not as relevant for you if you are not in a position of interest.

It is known PC Launcher exclusives actually hurts the company and the game's popularity.

While Steam is certainly not the good guy, they are not owned by a known Government organisation.

I'm a big fan of Twitch Channel Points Miner v2 for getting all the hats (MT items) from Twitch without watching anything.

100% the explosion of custom maps from WC3 set the stage for the next generation of RTS.

HoN, HOTS, DOTA, League, etc relied upon these foundations.

We're also contemplating batteries because the amount you get paid to feed solar in isn't like for like with usage. 25c cost vs 3c feed in.

How would the timed tasks be handled if they're offline

N8n just got 50k stars on github

There are bots for syncing both repos to the latest merge but understandable.

FYI hashtags look odd on lemmy

I've been playing around with Go, I quite like it.

Weirdly I can't see any of the comments on that post

If that's what you are doing there is definitely heaps more you can do with casaOS.

The apps are basically docker made easy and it has a lot of connections that are hidden behind ease of use menus.

What do you think you are missing out of aside from more explicit controls?
