I'm a PC player but I always wonder when people have this take. I dislike, hugely, their treatment of fans in the preservation space. However, as a company they seem to not do big layoffs, rarely buy companies or IP, and have a history of leadership falling on their swords (financially) during hard times to keep their employees.

I don't dislike them as a whole because of those elements that are dead at large.

I could be wrong, I'm not deeply knowledgable outside of a handful of articles over the years.

I would rank Microsoft way worse though and I used to be in their ecosystem as a big fan. Biggest pusher of owning nothing.

The guy who made the Backblaze software said it was already done and was easy for their standard client to work with Linux but never got rolled out because Linux users are power users. I wonder if that is the real reason when it comes to Proton. It's not unlimited but maybe there is some power user use that they anticipate and don't want to deal with.

I hope your right. My experience in life has been people will constantly loosen what they find acceptable and it does not stay contained but spreads. 😟

I either use Firefox or LibreWolf. I was just conversing.

The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

Isn't that most of the web?

I enjoyed the article. I don't think it's coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren't savvy tend to not use extensions. That's just my experience though.

I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

Do you feel similar shortcomings from lemmy compared to reddit?

I apologize for not having more to add. I just find it interesting to see what others feel who swapped to mastadon and lemmy.

I never got to play the original, but I remember it had more character in its trailers.

If it can be done in the goaled 25, that would be great. Ubisoft has a history of making their games take way too much time for my liking. It all starts to overstay its welcome.

Remember, they thought it was okay to release the Switch version.

Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.

If anything I thought the show treated her with kids gloves by the end. She did monstrous things to the people of the town. I cannot recall the exact line, it's been a while, but they described the type of torment it was.

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

I recently encountered a song I could only stream but not buy anywhere without DRM. Kinda wild because it has over 5 million YouTube views.

If anyone knows how the buy Slow Song by The Knocks, lmk.

The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn't a company that is going under, so it shouldn't be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I'm pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.

Did you ever play the first Divinity?

The recent London video from three weeks ago is approaching 400k views. Searching Fallout 4, "10 Hidden Mechanics in Fallout 4" from a day ago has 250k views.

I'm stoked for London but I think most people are just pumping it up from the show. Which is good because I just finished the show and I need more.

I wouldn't be surprised if they assigned another studio to make another Fallout already.

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don't expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it's important to know what information a company retains.

For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I'm not interesting enough to overthrow anything.

That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.

I'll accept Middle-Earth though.
