  • The only games I pirate are those that either :

    _ are completely abandoned by their publishers and literally unavailable through other means

    _ are stuff I already bought long ago and this is the most convenient way to get them to run (I have occasionally bought games again if it was cheap and convenient)

    _ have turned to such shitty business models I don't want to give a cent to the publishers (and I almost don't even do that one anymore since usually they've found a dozen more ways to turn the game to shit anyway).

    So yeah. Totally agree with the service problem.

  • I don't get it.

    Why do they do that? Even if the goal was to hide the source of original content à la shitty content farm site, what is there to gain doing that on lemmy?

    Or is that just that they get all their stuff from shitty content farms and have been trained to not give a shit about where stuff actually comes from?

    I am a backer and they haven't started surveying for platforms yet, in any case.

  • Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn't part of the exchange, twice. And then messed up the "@" when they pointed that to it.

    If it's even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn't allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.

  • The great thing about asking gen AI to look for problems, is that it's so helpful it will create new ones for you.

    Like arguing for hours that if you were to remove safeguards from your code, it would become unsafe.

  • would increase costs

    For us? Microsoft licences aren't exactly cheap, keep getting more expensive, and every single basic functionality is an extra.

    cybersecurity risks,

    Trust the megacorp with a huge target on its back that will deny any responsibility when it fucks up instead.

    limit AI and cloud services

    Sounds exclusively like a "you" problem.

    expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship,

    Sure, give that control to the US government instead.

    Fuck that bullshit. Hopefully no clueless politician falls for it.

  • Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim

  • Not a company since I'm in public administration, but my structure has a few thousands workers, most of them having access in some form to the network.

    They do filter our internet. I don't give a fuck whether people consume porn with their own devices and connections. But if you can download porn, you can download anything, including malware. And a bad actor having access to data on our network would be disastrous.

    Unfortunately, meta has that kind of data too. In fact hoarding private data is what their business is about. Not securing their network is criminal.

  • Absolutely. Or, as they say, "sporadic" amounts.

  • Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim

  • I don't think I really care who wins that one, but :

    Meta responded in October by filing a motion to dismiss, arguing the sporadic downloads were consistent with ordinary ‘personal use’ by employees and visitors on the corporate network.

    Oh, yeah, just your ordinary downloading porn on the corporate network of a tech giant megacorp, as you do.

    Either a lie or an admission of baffling incompetence.

  • New 0.5.20 Lutris Version broke everything...

    Jump

  • I don't have access to my machine right now, so I can't check exactly what worked for me. I didn't have the previous configuration either (the lutris scripts I used to install the games must have done this), so I just tried other options I had for runners. When I checked them they were all set on the last entry on the list.

    I think for the 32-bit prefix error I had to choose a wine one instead (probably latest wine-GE).

    For others that didn't show anything but had the gamemode error in logs, I switched to another proton version. I remembered being confused seeing two slightly differently worded entries that looked like latest proton GE, and using the other one worked.

  • It's certainly that. In fact as a French I didn't even realize people might not recognize the tale. Makes sense that not everyone was exposed to it the way we were though.

    La Fontaine's version of this is commonly taught to little kids, along others like the Fox and the Crow or the Wolf and the Lamb.

  • New 0.5.20 Lutris Version broke everything...

    Jump

  • Missed the point entirely, but okay. Note that I did troubleshoot it. I needed to know that it was a lutris problem to begin with.

    Having trouble making something work is not at the same level as an auto-update messing up all of your library at once. All I'm saying is, if we want more adoption of free OSes for uses like gaming, the tools we have for it needs to be version-controlled so less technical people are not completely lost.

  • New 0.5.20 Lutris Version broke everything...

    Jump

  • Kind of a bad take honestly. Some of us want stuff that just work, especially for their gaming environment. I certainly didn't expect to spend half a day troubleshooting why my library suddenly didn't work anymore.

    I am using Nobara and lutris was auto-updated through their updating tool. Also if it messed up the defaults in configurations, reverting might not even fix the problem.
