All these companies saw steamdeck and just said “I know how to make that but shittier!”.

Seriously people don’t let friends do this. A few months of the data and subscription and you could have just gotten a steam deck. And a steam deck can go other places a car can’t. Many other places in fact.

Seriously how many people are going to be sitting in a parking lot playing this? Or if you have kids or if you are in a car a lot and aren’t the driver… Why not just get a steam deck. It’s a dumb idea.

I’m aware, we aren’t going to make a massive dent. However, for this 2 million dollar settlement, how many people would need to be swayed to not buy a switch 2 to make the settlement more expensive? In other words, how many sales would need to be lost because of us not buying the console to make the settlement moot?

In the case of 2 million, that’s about 4,500 switch 2s, not counting the loss in games bought or accessories.

If just 4500 people were convinced not to buy one because of this settlement, then the cost to their brand being tarnished is worse than the loss of potential sales due to the chip.

There’s a dozen other factors too, legal costs, what drives these potential sales, etc. what I’m trying to say is that if they’re willing to be this litigious over a few thousand console sales, then that means that even small groups like us not buying consoles can actually be noticed. It may be a simple dip in sales on a chart, but they’ll notice. To a greedy corporation willing to go after a single guy in a garage, they’ll notice a couple thousand people not buying consoles.

I continue to not buy Nintendo devices or software because of their continuing nonsensical litigation like this. Whatever value they think they lost because of these chips I say compare that to their continued tarnishing of their name.

If your drm can be altered with a chip some guy made in his garage then it’s your drm that’s at fault. Financially ruining the guy only hurts the Nintendo brand.

I have not… but I will now!

They don’t see all the ways it could have terribly gone wrong!

Thx im fine thx 4 always being thrre xxxx

Yeah I honestly can’t tell if it’s probably or anti AI, or if it’s humanizing it, or what

I did synapse about a year ago but kind of wish I had done conduit, it seems so much simpler. That being said, all of the bridges and add-ons assume you’re running synapse

I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

My recommendations:

• No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

• Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.

Followed with one of their friends saying “Yeah Tim’s an asshole” and them replying either “Yes he’s such an asshole” or equally likely “Please respect our privacy”. Either way, super annoying.

I feel you exactly the same. I don’t know how my coworkers do it. They can literally get screamed at, called out in a meeting in front of others and it’s like nothing to them. Meanwhile I fight back tears and my voice raises and I panic. In the corporate world that means I’m weak. I’m damn good at my job but in a situation like that I just crumple, and to leadership they don’t look at my projects or outcomes, all they see are those few instances.

It also haunts me years and years later.

Oh god now there is a concept I long forgot about!

Vaguebooking. At least it died out for me, when my age group grew up past high school. Specifically, the vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass “motivation quotes” or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life, usually pointed at someone.

I still have one person who never moved on from high-school who still does crap like this, but now I just still follow them for the pure nostalgia and the joy of seeing these. Seriously, they show how immature they are, unable to actually go talk about their emotions a veil so thin of “please I want my privacy” while posting about it online.

A game plagued by too many cooks in the kitchen. You could tell there were just too many ideas, and everything was solved in committee. There was no laser focus on any one thing and so it was just kind of everywhere. I enjoyed it on its own, but it just can’t live up to civ 5 in my book

Weird, launchers like this have such a small niche community already. I’m surprised they want to piss them off. Linux/nerds like us aren’t well known for being forgiving.

And the whole thing is “does it matter?”. To us, no, it doesn’t matter at all.

God damn you love ness monster!

This is good. I know distros are antsy to drop it, but it’s the legacy apps that need to come around too. I think steam is one of the worst offenders

Personally I don’t subscribe to that. I’m sure Linus and Torvalds disagree, but I don’t care. I remember reading about the corejs developer begging people to donate because he couldn’t afford food, meanwhile react, angular, and thus every major company depended on it. Story happens too often. I wish we could be completely open, but it just gets exploited

Truly the age of enlightenment
