  • Capcom's Steam Deck Verified Games are being made unplayable with new DRM that only punishes paying customers

    Jump

  • Only because it's a game big enough for the relevant people to take notice. A smaller game would just stay broken, due to some suit's whims. This practice needs to end.

  • Florida House of Representatives approves bill to ban social media for kids under 16

    Jump

  • Ah yes, just what Florida needs: even more closeted everything.

  • More like digital wrongs management.

  • Google search might be getting worse - and AI threatens to ruin it entirely

    Jump

  • Sounds... at worst just as bad as using Microsoft's or Google's search results. I get that the Brave CEO is a POS but Google and Microsoft are Google and Microsoft.

    So basically a drama over nothing?

  • Wait, what happened to Kagi?

  • Scammers placing keywords related to a different app, hoping users get confused

    Jump

  • Judging by what OP was searching for, they're probably aware. And the scammers are too.

    CNN blocks Firefox with uBo

  • GDPR doesn't require them to ask if they would just not violate our privacy. In other words, it's perfectly legal to assume "no" if they have no means of asking.

    USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!

    Jump

  • Do you have any source on that? I planned to get one soon and that's worrying. So far I've found this post after a quick search, which claims PD is supported.

  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology

    Jump

  • It's not about whether they actually care. It's about whether I'm worried they might care. It's very stressful for neurodivergent people.

  • X11 tiling WMs

    Jump

  • There is no "best WM", only "best WM for you". If you're deep enough into this rabbit hole to install an alternative WM, at this point you're the best judge of what's the best, really.

  • TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off

  • With my bear hands?

  • YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave

    Jump

  • We can simultaneously move along and criticize their decisions as exploitative double-dipping on their users. Criticizing them thankfully doesn't require a subscription, or even an account.

  • Google may let you choose which of its services are linked, thanks to EU

    Jump

  • Just wait for some corporate white knight to come here and explain how EU is stopping innovation. Love these guys, I always have a bag of popcorn at the ready.

  • YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave

    Jump

  • And yet they were perfectly okay with providing the service for free while they were still busy starving off the competition. No tears for Google shall be shed here.

  • Why is there no USB-C (female) to mini-B (male) adapter?

    Jump

  • The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you're interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/

    In your specific case, it's twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

  • Threads will allow you to follow Mastodon users by year-end, according to Meta meeting details

    Jump

  • Now let's see whether Mastodon users will allow Threads users to follow the Mastodon users.

  • When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

    Jump

  • Maybe you're right, the jump from pure GUI to the Windows CLI is probably a much bigger paradigm shift than between these two CLIs. I was mostly worried about OP getting discouraged from ever dabbling in CLI due to the Windows one being terrible.

    Jump

  • The Windows command line is nothing like the Linux one. It's much less pleasant to use too.
