The person you replied to is giving the classic “they must have been acting suggestively” excuse.

For playing and downloading the games, SteamCMD.

For viewing the store or community pages, a browser? Maybe you could get the Steam Deck version of the store page?

Note to app users and alternative frontend users (such as mlmym), there are some breaking changes so you will need to update the app or wait.

You’d be surprised what a squad of cops can do on break.

…and use that as a strategy guide to oppress others?

I think federation with Meta will improve Mastodon, and doesn’t affect Lemmy too much. Threads users will be able to post to our groups, but the discussion will be mostly within communities on existing servers.

The worry is if the bulk of discussion happens in Meta’s space. Yes, people will feel like they are missing out if they are on a Masto server defederated with Meta, but there is enough activity from people outside of that to be engaging. On the Lemmy side, (hypothetically) if Facebook Groups were to become like Lemmy communities, I’d be very concerned that most of the discussion would move away from places like here on lemmy.world and other cool servers to Meta’s. Then by the time Meta decides to leave or do something stupid then people will not have a place to go to.

Even Canadian news media was the same. Trump would be on there every other night at least, and people tuned in to see what lie Trump told or stupid thing he did today. Many even had a special banner attached to it, similar to special coverage done for Olympic Games, certain wars, events or elections.

Meh, I take all the news and developments with large lumps of salt for this topic especially.

I believe both that Hamas is operating behind human shields to curry favour against humanitarian law, and that the IDF is more or less indiscriminately harming civilians, refugees and militants of Palestine all in the same brushstroke to excuse extermination as merely retaliation (also against humanitarian law in case that’s not clear to anyone)

If it was a dollar an hour, then GTAV would be $1208…

But of course, TV AFKing took up a solid chunk of this time… because of forced waiting periods. Sooooo combine a pay-to-play per hour model and forced waiting periods then you’ve got MTX “Shark cards” with extra annoying steps.

lol

Ah yes, I wonder if anything happened on the 65th day of April, in the square close to the place which the sun rises…

Steam is a legitimate value add for sellers and buyers/users, that justifies its 30% cut. Other than free games, Epic has a seemingly easy-to-integrate online networking system, that’s about it. Steam has a modding platform, broadcasting, remote “parsec”-like controller emulator, Linux support, content sharing, forums and a developer news feed. That’s quite a lot.

What makes me stick with them is that they don’t preclude Steam and other gaming users from using alternatives but simply compete with their own well-made system… plenty of games have their own cross-platform mod-launchers that aren’t workshop for example. Steamworks DRM isn’t required and Steam networking services for multiplayer aren’t mandatory either.

That said, itch and GoG are great alternatives where they have games available. I’d just like GoG to provide better Linux support.

That’s an EPIC move by Larian.

Blender 2.79 and earlier was super-unintuitive. 2.8 gave it a fresh coat of paint it’s easier and more featureful with each version (Now 3.6, 2.8 was years ago!)

If I were on a court or jury, I would rule that repeatedly showing an annoying pop up until you press Agree, doesn’t count as actual acceptance of the terms, I don’t care what the rules are but fuck that practice.

I don’t vape, but when I received a depleted disposable vape from a roommate, I opened it up to find the battery was perfectly rechargeable. Such a waste and it is quite hazardous too to dispose in regular trash.

Your comment was on the top for me, Lemmy’s default “hot” sorting brings fresh takes to the front, so don’t worry too much about your answers always getting buried.

Are you thinking of beehaw.org?

I’ll be back with your dessert.
