  • Bazzite delivers the SteamOS experience Windows handhelds need - and it's terrific

  • Never heard of it, how is this distro for new users? I run mint for reference, but I'm always trying to learn about other distros.

  • Anti-piracy company Denuvo is tired of gamers saying its DRM is bad for games: "It's super hard to see, as a gamer, what is the immediate benefit"

    Jump

  • I'm aware the Streisand effect is specifically regarding concealing info causing way more attention drawn to it, my point is that highlighting the fact that gamers hate Denuvo and trying to change that fact will most likely only amplify the hatred.

    I will be more specific I hate any software that isn't required for a game to work. The reason why I worded it vaguely is because I'm not just talking about DRM, but anti-cheat and launchers as well (even though launchers aren't 3rd party).

    As far as metrics are concerned I'm perfectly ok with that, as long as I have the option to opt-in or at the very least made aware of it.

    What it really boils down to is I don't want any unnecessary extraneous packages with the software that I actually want. For the most part I avoid games that add these things.

  • That's why I avoid games with launchers for the most part. I also specified what I meant by third party software, I could have worded that more concisely.

  • I think them trying to win gamers over is just going to Streisand effect the hatred instead. I don't want 3rd party anything that I don't elect to install, even if it doesn't effect the performance( which I also don't buy).

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • Mint's sweet I switched from 10 a few months back. Biggest difference is getting use to the different file system, only 2 games have been unplayable (didn't try to make them work tbh).

  • North Carolina live updates: Death toll rises again with new Henderson report, up to 97 [in NC, 200 total] | Helene becomes fourth deadliest hurricane to hit US since 1950

    Jump

  • Ahhh I misunderstood your tone my bad, it's a bit of an emotional topic for me. I've been checking in on friends the last couple days to make sure no one's dead.... I thought you meant that last sentence as an "we're being censored!" Bit

  • I'm gonna guess you're just trolling or unwell mentally, I am from WNC and a majority of my family and friends live there. There is one granite mine that supplies for chips and it is in a specific town called Spruce Pine. The government did not manufacture a hurricane that covered a third of a state so one town can give away mining rights

  • Sssssssss.

  • The night vance cometh

  • Asheville has been isolated after Helene wrecked roads and knocked out power and cell service

    Jump

  • There are lines for grocery stores but it's mostly because the store itself is throttling the number of people in the store at the same time, gas is non-existent, no cell or Internet connection, many without power or water or both. I don't know if it's as bad as Katrina but it is certainly pretty bad and way worse than when the area was hit by multiple hurricanes in the late 2,000s.

  • Zelenskiy to Push US for NATO Invite, Weapons Guarantees

    Jump

  • A Nation in active conflict cannot join NATO, you silly silly person

  • $10M ad campaign by White Dudes for Harris targets white men

    Jump

  • Eh I'll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next

    As sad as it is, it's actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics

  • Boeing workers vote overwhelmingly to strike, halting aircraft production

    Jump

  • For reference here are inflation rates YOY since 2017:

    2017 2.10% 2018 1.90%

    2019 2.30%

    2020 1.40%

    2021 7.00%

    2022 6.50% 2023 3.40%

    Just to make up for the last three years of inflation they would need +16.9% instantly. Assuming +2% inflation over those 4 years (which is the average but not right now) that means from 2020 to 2028 inflation rose 26.3% so if they started a +25% increase over 4 years this year, the workers would have the same spending power they had in 2020.

  • 1.25×40×52= +2,600 per year before taxes, they would hit +10k after 4 years which almost certainly won't keep up with inflation. So at best they would have equal spending power to when the 4 year period started

  • Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?

    Jump

  • We've been having this discussion in the group I game/ play TTRPGs with. Like 7 of us total all windows, me and another switched to Linux, a third is a computational scientist who is forced to work with redhat frequently, and a fourth member was thinking of switching. After me and member 2 switched, member 4 saw that we had problems (entirely discord for me, all games have honestly worked so far) and changed his mind about switching because he doesn't want to deal with stuff not working OOTB.

    I can't fault people who want that, hell I do, Linux is well worth it to me but I will begrudgingly admit there are draw backs to Linux.

  • The Germans Dropped a New Funny Number, Anyone Know the Meaning?

    Jump

  • I can't read German but I definitely believe it was translated. I completely missed the 42 being a reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I was hoping y'all came up with a new funny number haha.

  • Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all

    Jump

  • Linux, while overall almost botherless, still looses to windows.

    Been using mint for around 2 months and I would say this is pretty accurate. Pretty much every game I play works out of the box. Discord however crashes the whole system sometimes and I can't figure out why. Would still recommend Linux over windows but you will for sure encounter more issues.

    Maybe this is better for everyone

  • Vegans have been refining these arguments for a decade now and can present clear sharp moral stances with a counter to everything you have to say

    Lol they fuck they can, they couldn't even properly present and defend their own sources.
