Would’ve never rented from them had I known this.

Fuckem.

EonNShadow ,

Nintendo is just on their own planet when it comes to… Basically everything, including game pricing.

…microsoft.com/…/privacy-and-control-over-your-re…

Better yet - according to this page it’s on by default

(as long as it’s supported by the hardware.)

EonNShadow ,

The 5th circuit is already notoriously conservative too.

Should be fun.

EonNShadow ,

Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.

EonNShadow ,

Iirc Smite turned off their EAC Linux Restriction awhile ago, might be worth looking into.

Haven’t tested it at all though, so ymmv

EonNShadow ,

Supergiant has the level of respect from me that early Blizzard had.

They have done nothing but release complete, solid games throughout their history. Everything in their library is at least an 8/10 and worth the money imo.

I have no reason to believe Hades 2 will be any different based on the tech test and the couple hours I played today.

EonNShadow ,

The tech test was already feeling really solid. New characters, more detailed art, continuation of the story from Hades 1 with a new big bad…

I’m a fan of Supergiant in general, so I’m really excited to get further into it.

EonNShadow ,

Pyre was arguably a miss

But I see it as more of a red-headed-stepchild of their games.

It still has the trademark excellent writing and gameplay, but it didn’t sell well because it’s just a quirky game.

There was no market for a “wizard-basketball visual novel” (their words, not mine)

EonNShadow ,

I thought this was only in a few states (5th circuit) and the SCOTUS refused to hear the case?

Still bullshit don’t get me wrong

Just trying to set the record straight

EonNShadow ,

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

EonNShadow ,

There’s always Xcom - the shining example of what a mobile port could be.

I wish other companies would see that and go “yeah, that’s doable”

Instead, this crap happens.

EonNShadow ,

I remember when this was a ballot initiative in CO.

I voted for it, but it was shocking to see just how much negativity there was surrounding it.

EonNShadow ,

Great photo!

For context: they’ve been remodeling the interior of the airport for a few years now, all the walls here are temporary

EonNShadow ,

The weird gargoyles are still there, near baggage claim.

That’s the main terminal above security in the photo.

openSUSE Tumbleweed Begins Rolling Out KDE Plasma 6 Desktop, But No Wayland Default Yet (www.phoronix.com)

The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages. Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn’t yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.

EonNShadow ,

I’m just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don’t have the programming chops to try and make something myself.

I’d love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.

I don’t even mind if it’s Xorg or Wayland at this point.

EonNShadow ,

Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.

EonNShadow ,

The customer is only right if they threaten to cancel their service

Even then, if the cost of improving service is more than one customer’s cancellation, the customer can kick rocks

“disable your adblocker”

No, I don’t think I will

EonNShadow OP ,

Hmm. Seems to be working for me just fine

EonNShadow ,

Sounds like enough to pay all those workers they laid off

EonNShadow ,

Free hardware is the best hardware!

EonNShadow ,

I’ve had trouble using any kind of VPN on ABB. It’s pretty frustrating.

EonNShadow ,

Second time Sony has done this in almost as many months. Fuck Sony.

EonNShadow ,

I fell for an April Fools joke years ago saying that an upcoming character to be released in Smite was The Morrigan, then confidently posted about it on Reddit weeks later.

This was years before she actually was released, and long before development was started on her.

EonNShadow ,

Hello! Would you like to destroy some evil today?

"Bots talking to bots." Came across this subreddit that appears to exist only to take advantage of how appending "reddit" to search terms is being favored in SEO. (www.reddit.com)

It's mentioned in this really good Verge article about SEO. I don't think it's a good sign for Reddit to just allow such blatant spam and makes me think how much subtler spam is out there too....

EonNShadow ,

The “sure,” at the beginning lmao

EonNShadow ,

The World of Tanks/Warships fans are getting out of hand again I see

EonNShadow ,

Guess I’ll be putting Helluva Boss on my Plex server.

Meh.

My prime was already cancelled because they billed me in early January, when that extra $100 could be used on Christmas gifts, so it always snuck up on me.

I didn’t use it enough to justify it anyway.

EonNShadow ,

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

  • Plex
  • 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
  • Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
  • anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

  • Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
  • Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
  • single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Anyone that says J6 was a “peaceful protest” that “got out of hand”

We all saw the footage of that day. There were gallows and calls to hang a sitting vice president.

It was an insurrection, fomented and encouraged by Donald Trump’s speech and actions leading up to that day. Plain and simple.

The right-wingers who say it wasn’t as serious as it was are gaslighting their base.

Edit: Victims of gaslighting in my replies

EonNShadow ,

The wife and I have really enjoyed playing Ravenswatch.

It’s an early-access rougelite that plays a bit like a Diablo/League (sans toxicity because it’s co-op, not competitive)

Farm efficiently and level your hero within the time limit and fight a boss at the end.

It’s a great time and 20% off on the sale

EonNShadow ,

They’ve already been trying to bring “raise the voting age” into discussions.

Plex+Plexamp works great for audiobooks

For some reason the regular Plex player would restart tracks on me after being out of the app for a long time. But Plexamp seems to have that one under control.

Oh, also, while we’re talking audiobooks, check out Graphic Audio versions of your various books. They do a great job

EonNShadow ,

The thought of someone’s Linux install failing catastrophically, displaying a “MSoS”, then the user switching back to the is MS OS because of it is funny to me.

EonNShadow ,

FYI

Prophecy Games Inc is a Hirez subsidiary.

Expect all the same shenanigans and monetization hell that comes with that. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s not.

EonNShadow ,

That would be a welcome surprise.

I only did a quick Google, so fair enough.

You can always buy them and make a “backup”

EonNShadow , (edited )

The way I’ve been using is to use the Vivaldi browser’s inbuilt adblocking. Comes with the added benefit of syncing to other devices and background audio playback so I can lock my phone and still have audio playing.

The mobile version of the website is also functionally identical to the app, sans advertising.

EonNShadow ,

Meh, I prefer Vivaldi because I use it on PC too.

I like the extra customizability and features they offer vs the competition.

EonNShadow ,

Nah, gotta exploit the Housing Shortage rule and NEVER upgrade to hotels

The game requires you to build houses before hotels, so if there are 32 (I believe) houses on the board, no one can go straight to hotels.

Even better if you own all the houses.

It’s like a hidden Monopoly in Monopoly

EonNShadow ,

Which means he sold at the top, then bought more at the bottom so he can ride the train back up to do the same thing again.

This isn’t a good thing.

EonNShadow ,

Wage theft is significantly more common than petty theft and occurs because the victims often don’t have the ability to fight back.

I see where you’re coming from but you can’t deny that these corporations don’t prey on the very people they employ.

EonNShadow ,

Reasons being they want to justify their purchase of a very expensive office space

EonNShadow ,

Spectroscopy is a really interesting tool
