I posted about preferring Session over SimpleX chat before and it seems like the big gripe is the crypto currency tie-in with Session

Shout out to the open source engine recreation Force Engine. It’s a neat way of playing this game on modern computers.

Yeah I like it. It reminds me of how Ask Reddit used to be.

Ever since Ask Reddit removed the body section of posts, just leaving people with the title section to work with, I feel like it’s mostly been generic dull questions where everyone says basically the same thing and doesn’t elaborate.

Prime examples:

Q: Men what is something we can all agree on?

A: We’ve all fantasized about being the hero in some daydream scenario.

and

Q: What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?

A: Holding a conversation.

I’d rather hear about someone’s struggles to install Arch Linux

Yeah it’s weird how privacy and piracy have blended together over the years.

With some games you need to pirate them if you don’t want a Russian nesting doll of launchers and accounts that are able to leak your information and fill your computer with bloat.

I do find the argument interesting some YouTubers try to make about ad blockers being a form of piracy.

Even if I pay for a Ubisoft game through a place like Steam I still download it elsewhere because I hate going through their launcher.

Tremblay’s view on physical games isn’t that shocking, considering he’s a director of subscriptions, but he does leave out some concerns shared by many when it comes to subscription services. For starters, games actually do come and go on these services right now, with the most recent example being Grand Theft Auto 5 leaving Xbox Game Pass. If you play games only via subscription services, you can very easily lose access to certain titles on a regular basis.

Secondly, games that are pulled from online stores, for one reason or another, would mean they cease to exist in an all-digital future. Two high profile example are the original Alan Wake and Ubisoft’s very own The Crew, both of which were pulled due to licensing issues. While the former eventually returned to digital storefronts thanks to the recent remaster, The Crew can no longer be bought and will poof out of existence on March 31, 2024.

I can see a lot of people being fine with that idea when it comes to subscriptions. I think people have kind of gotten used to the idea with content coming and going off of sites like Netflix.

I thought this has to do with DRM and license agreements when I first saw it.

Yes. Crunchy Roll just got in hot water for illegally selling user data

I kind of felt that way about NerdCubed. I just felt like he was becoming too pretentious and that he was rebooting his channel every couple months

Hello all. I was looking for a specific Car diagnostic software package and I noticed that this type of software doesn’t come across often on the seas. are their any good places I can go to start looking for this kind of software. The software often cost up to 500 dollars or more and for me it would be a one time maiby 2 time...

You didn’t mention what features you need. I’m saying it’s option that might work for someone who just wants to fetch some metrics from their vehicle

That might be because there are free and open source versions out there

I know some of family don’t because they mostly rely on mobile devices and devices like Chromecasts where installing ad blockers can be a challenge. They don’t use traditional computers.

They know apps like NewPipe exist but the effort to port things over or not get recommendations is too much for them.

I do use ad blockers and open source front ends/software/alternatives. Ex. AntennaPod instead of Spotify for podcasts and Linux instead of Windows because I didn’t like ads in the start menu (amongst numerous other things).

Didn’t Twitch take back a lot of what they said?

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Yeah. I think that’s part of getting older and having some degree of stability. It’s not like grade school where new stuff is constantly coming at you

The one I’m using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?

It would probably help if you mentioned which app you are having issues with and what device you are using. I recently stopped using Jerboa because of login issues and started using Voyager. I find it’s less of a smooth experience but some of the other bugs I had with Jerboa like back spacing removing the space before the previous word aren’t present.

As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

I’ve done that with console games on multiple occasions. I’ll own a physical copy and already went through the trouble to back up my own copy with my console but I’ll download it anyway

Here is a Darknet Diaries episode about it where Garry Bowser talks about that and his history of modding devices and Team Executer

Pretty interesting if you have an hour and a half to kill.

“It’s the thought that counts right?”
