I think it’s “huge” for Linux gaming in general and for the general health of the gaming industry. It’s a Linux PC in disguise as a cool form-factor Steam console. I hope it drives more developers of all types to build Linux support instead of just Windows.

The timing of this is also great, with people getting forcibly dunked into the bullshit that is Windows 11 after the end of Windows 10 support. If all my games worked on Linux, I’d have no use for Windows at all.

There is no guarantee unless you could personally audit their facilities and inspect what they did with your account etc. But I would still choose one that states they have a good policy versus one that says nothing on the subject.

What about logging policies? Seems like that would be an important category to visit - which providers store logs or don’t etc. I’ve heard of some that use RAM-only logging that allegedly never gets stored on disk.

Same here, as I only use open-source clients on the phone. It’s been obvious for many years that the apps made by the social media companies are spyware, so I’ve stayed away from them.

But also I use the web mostly, and “switching” on the web just means closing one tab and opening another to visit a different URL. It’s sad that many folks who use the Internet don’t understand how or try to avoid the hellscape of app lock-in. The web is here for our open usage just as it has been for decades.

Nah many people don’t live in their cars. I have 2 cars and never use Android Auto even when I could. I’m usually busy with driving instead of fooling with phone bullshit when I’m in the car anyway.

picked up NMS on sale with this update and already built a rad corvette and accumulated 170M moneys, seems like it helped me “launch” my game really quickly.

I did get lucky with about the 3rd planet I landed on being a paradise planet with plenty of salvage containers. Only had to buy landing gear to build one.

Maybe it’s the commuters that failed to find a job that’s close enough to be tolerable. I worked one job for a few months where I had a 1-hour each way commute, and it sucked so I job hunted enough to find one with a more tolerable 30-minute commute.

That’s what I assumed also. They basically look the same in general

Another thing VLC can do that some might not be aware of is downloading streaming media to file for storage. If you can find the right stream URL, VLC can save whatever that is to MP4 or your format of choice. Save your favorite shows / streams / podcasts to disk and keep them safe in your own personal media server!

Coast to Coast of course

Space Ghost

The scroll duping was patched but there’s a similar one you can do with dropping item stacks into an empty container. Holding shift and dragging a multi-stack over to the container, clicking another item to dupe.

Norman Reedus and the Funky Feetus 2: Death Gear Boogaloo

More Metal Gear-like sounds awesome. Article mentions equipment customization, more weapons, camo options for stealth etc.

I called JD Vance an Eyeliner Gerbil and everybody clapped

That’s true but it’s not in the same ballpark as GPS tracking. The phone company knows what county I’m in but probably not what businesses and municipal buildings I enter on foot unlike GPS location services. Bluetooth and Wifi are also disabled when I leave the house to minimize those being used for device tracking.

It’s just good practice to disable all the unused wireless radios in your pocket computer. Don’t turn them on until you need them on. It saves a lot of battery life too.

My kids don’t even have phones, as they do not need them and they are unhealthy for the young brain’s development.

I also don’t use location services on my phones. Fuck all that tracking bullshit.

I’m going to be optimistic for now that this is a sign that the military is concerned with honoring their oaths to uphold our Constitution by following due process etc, after 100 days of profoundly disturbing attempts by the Executive branch to dishonor the highest of laws in our land.

Speaking of the M-cpu Macs and RPCS3, I got the old PS3 Demon’s Souls to work pretty well on an M1 + 8GB RAM Mac last year. Pretty nice to be able to play a “PS3 exclusive” Souls game on a Mac considering the total lack of Souls titles available for MacOS.
