I hope "normal people" start exploiting that decision too. Training AI to consume stuff from big corporations and using the result to create open source/copyright free stuff from copyrighted works.

Oh man, I would kill for this...

Just STFU man

This is not about the App Store service's quality, this is about option. They could charge 50% for all I care, if we had the option to buy iOS apps from another store other than Apple's.

Unfortunately, boycotts and labels are not enough. I wish we didn't have to involve the government in this, believe me. There are dozens of different dark patterns and malicious compliance that companies apply to trick customers into buying things. You might be someone informed enough that would not fall for those tricks, but there a lot of people that would benefit from a law that prevents companies from doing that in the first place (children, people with mental disorders like gambling addiction, etc).

Wtf are you talking about? He specifically says that he wants to have a conversation with people that will give constructive criticism, not someone that's just complaining and not giving any solutions or alternatives to solve the problem.

God, finally someone with common sense. The devs do not need to change the software for you to host a server in your 10 year old ThinkPad, they just need to make the software available. It's not up to them to figure out HOW you are going to host the game's server, they just need to make it POSSIBLE.

I agree. Louis brought a good point when he talked about Gran Turismo licensed content (like Ferrari cars and etc), that some companies have licenses that will expire for content in the game. But you know what? THAT'S NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM. You buy a game, you should be able to run it until the end of time.

Which is pretty stupid, if you ask me. Owning the mods and custom maps just killed the community around it.

Yep. And wtf happened with LAN multiplayer? Even the Beta from Diablo II Ressurected had it, but they REMOVED IT from the release version. I call BS on what this Thor guy is saying.

He's the successor of Hugo Chavez and is president since 2013. Hugo Chavez was the president since 1999. Venezuela was once a great place to live but now people are leaving the country because they are going hungry. Do you need more evidence?

I live in South America and I'm gonna tell you something EVERYBODY here knows: Maduro is a fucking psychopath. I'm seeing a lot of people saying that because the US is interfering, it must be false, but let me tell you: fuck the US, but this is real. Maduro should be killed.

Now this is the real solid advice

I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could've happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

I don't know exactly about Woodpecker CI because I haven't used it very much, but GitHub Actions is Beta software. Has A LOT of bugs, no QoL features, spaghetti codebase, the Runners are AWFUL to selfhost... and I could go on.

And it would be even more useful with Windows than SteamOS, Windows only has the desktop mode.

Well said! The people behind the Steam Deck are passionate about gaming and making a device they would use.

That's a good point! Apple, Samsung and others have been destroying the consumer electronics space for years.

I agree. First we need to solve the Linux compatibility issues, then we can start thinking about new CPU architectures. It would have been too much to deal with at the same time.

Yep. I mean, better hardware specs are a really good thing, but that alone does not make me want to buy a device.
