Oh please, stop the act, we can see your shitty referral link.

Yup, that’s how it works.

If you the flea caravan has already moved you’ll be out of luck for now. You’ll be able to fight it later on though in a slightly different spot.

What’s extra funny is that I already did all of this, and yet, I’ve been informed that my developer account is subject to deletion because I’m not active enough. Since my game does not get regular updates I said F this, let them delete my account. It’s still available for sideload on itch.io anyway. Jokes on me for believing that.

So yeah, it seems like Google is actively hostile towards building a library of software/games that just work and intentionally only wants live service garbage apps on their platform because those make more revenue.

I feel like a big problem is that a lot of people never learned how to learn.

Adding onto your examples, I’ve also heard about a study once where they were given similar basic Excel tasks. However, you didn’t even have to solve the tasks. Instead, just trying to get help from the help function or searching online got you into the highest skill bracket. That bracket ended up being the smallest group.

This, so much. Looking back, it’s just insane that pretty much every program you don’t regularly use will beg for updates on Windows. There are some bandaids like WinGet now that I appreciate, but it’s still nowhere as seamless as when the OS and the whole ecosystem around it are designed with a package manager in mind.

A huge chunk of the time I have to spend on tinkering is probably already saved by me not having to wait for updates.

I mean, becoming owned by IGN was ultimately a good thing, as the previous owners were apparently preventing DF from going indepent before. At least that’s how I understood it from their announcement video.

I’m actually a bit impressed this feat was done using a regular office stapler and not an industry stapler.

In a way, focussing on the countries was always ultimately pointless (aside from encouraging votes througj country rivalries). It’s almost impossible to not have required countries after the million votes milestone. You’d have to male something very specific like “make dutch the only language in the EU” in order to not make that cut.

It’s also less waste if one of your charging methods breaks, as you can just swap over to the other method and might even find ordering replacement parts unnecessary.

Though ideally I’d also like to see more than one USB-C port for even more redundancy.

My current toolkit (as a 3D printing hobbyist) on Linux currently includes:

• FreeCAD: Takes some getting used to, is a lot stricter, but that might even improve your CAD skills in the long term, as it forces you to think more about what you’re actually doing. The closest thing to Fusion360.
• OpenSCAD: You’re basically programming your models. Very powerful if you need parts with repeating sections and/or want something with easily adjustable parameters.
• Blender: Useful when I have to do some quick&dirty modifications to a model I’ve downloaded from somewhere.

Depends on how you break it. Broken partitions? Sure, Gparted it is. Everything else? Most often can be fixed with a quick arch-chroot and then undoing whatever caused the mess.

So yeah, I agree with the Ventoy suggestion. Such a neat little tool that it’s earned it’s place on my key-chain.

On the other hand, I’ll be curios how far Steam Input integration will go. Assuming these don’t self-destruct every few weeks like the original Joy-cons, these might make a neat portable controller.

And then there are those people that put a whole damn song as their notification sound.

They’ve basically set up Pavlovs conditioning experiment and inserted themselves as the test subject.

There are some caveats, but you could always extend your storage capabilities with a USB-DAS. I currently have two with 4 slots each extending a small NUC-style server.

PS: I don’t see a mention of at least one SSD. If not already planned, you should at the very least use one for the OS.

Agree. I wouldn’t even mind it if they were more open about what they’re actually doing, as picking a well working set of apps from the sea open-source apps can have value.

That said, if you read through that site it feels like they want to appear like it’s them who created all that software.

This is now the third post in the last 24 hours where I stumble into a needlessly long thread because this user is completely obtuse and can’t handle being wrong or a different opinion.

It’s great that these devices finally exist. For the longest time your only option for handheld gaming was Nintendo, or maybe Sony for a short period of time, so I always went with Nintendo as a companion device to my PC.

When the Switch launched, I started wishing for a PC with that form factor, unrealistic as that was at the time. At some point in time I even got hardware-banned from anything online because I dared to install some things on it in order to transfer my save files between PC and Switch. Even lost the ability to download a game I had already bought but not yet installed.

Thankfully, around that time the Steam Deck was announced, and the only time I booted the Switch afterwards was to dump all my games and saves.

I’m almost certain it’a troll, maybe even a previously banned one. Given their username it would be very ironic otherwise, considering that so far, in the week since they’ve created the account, they’ve only commented in order to rail against things that respect user freedom.

Good catch. Never used Remote Assistance, so I don’t know how different it is, and if it actually requires telemetry.

Although the broader issue isn’t the why, it’s that it does those things at all without clearly communicating them to the user. Even their documentation has severe lack of any kind of explanation.
