  • If you live in a shit hole like the US, yes.

    It's totally illegal over here.

  • Exactly - the platform owner usually can do everything. Can a third party crawler? I don't know

  • an impossible encounter

    That's kinda the point of Souls games though. The encounter isn't impossible, and once your skills and attitude change, you get through it - even though the encounter itself didn't change a bit.

  • Sure, but the original context was a new user wanting to try Linux on their gaming laptop.

    Both Bazzite and SteamOS will result in headaches from their limitations.

  • We do have fairly precise numbers of how much energy it takes to train the models using the best GPUs available, and slightly less precise but also reasonable estimates on how much it costs to run servers for users to toy around with.

    It's extremely high, but not different from what it would be like if these were cloud gaming or 3D rendering servers.

    The main point is usually is it worth it and that's highly subjective.

  • It's also very hard to keep track of licenses for text based content on the internet. Do most users know what's the default licence for their comments on Reddit? How about Facebook? How about the comments section of a random blog? How about the title of their Medium post? And so on

  • If you're assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS' write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches. The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.

    I strongly suggest going with your other proposal, something like plain Fedora with KDE.

  • RSS is good for "I like this site, please show me new content when it releases".

    But Pocket was more like "I stumbled across this article on my phone, I want to read it later so I'll save it and sync to other devices, I don't necessarily care about this site"

  • Potentially a collaboration/society of existing employees. That would be the best alternative for those hoping to keep Valve as the Valve we already know.

    Because his son is completely uninterested, he's entirely focused on racing cars, which if fair enough, but likely means he would simply sell the company given the chance.

  • You can't trust those "app has tracking in it" flags because they usually have scary wording for extremely basic and normal things that wouldn't impact your privacy.

    An app anonymously tracks if an user clicks a button or not. This becomes "ThIs APp pHOnEs HomE tRaCkiNg uSErS"

  • I actually quite enjoy the functionality, especially as I try to move away from centralised aggregation like Reddit.

    I just don't like the privacy and monetization tactics used by most of the solutions in this niche.

  • Every. Single. Time. I read "Embracer" as "Embraer" and spend 30 seconds trying to parse why an airplane company is investing into entertainment.

  • 🤨📸

  • Power

    Jump
  • Recruiter: "Oh, I see you left your previous company soon after joining, what happened there?"

    "They used Microsoft products, so I refused to touch the computers"

    Recruiter "..."

  • We are talking about a driver for the Xbox One wireless adapter.

    Microsoft never submitted a kernel driver for this, it's a third party module. It's not Bluetooth - it's WiFi, using a proprietary blob for authentication.

    Not a single one of your claims in this entire thread have been correct.

  • This isn't a Bluetooth adapter.

    That's how little you know about the subject you're trying to rant about.

  • The wireless adapter functions extremely well and is no different than any Wi-Fi 2.4GHz dongle, in essence.

    This driver also works really well.

    I fail to see how two things working well together somehow results in your rant.

  • Can you imagine your partner being so focused on the 5 minutes it takes a waiter to bring food to the table that, rather than having a conversation with you or something, they stand up and go pick up their plate unlike every single other human being in that restaurant?
