Explains why control panel and settings are both still a thing like a decade after they said they’d be removing the former.

You can take my .moe from my cold, dead, hands (๑˘･з･˘)

Given the size of lockfiles this would not surprise me but who the hell counts lock files code. Their barely configs :/.

I really hope this is one of those tactile hit it from the top and it’ll trigger from the bottom designs. But more likely they just never expect you to use it.

How? Like someone would have to have access to the device and also know how you hid the crypto and then presumably despite having the former decides to only take the latter. Unless I’m misunderstanding. Like crypto is cool, but you know what’s a cooler, a phone that also has crypto in it.

Find God and switch to templeos. /s

Jk. Everyone knows Hannah Montana Linux is the next big thing.

Because their an ad company and they don’t like any threats to their revenue stream. Same logic as video game companies using DRM. Selling a worse product at a bigger expense to tell shareholders their compelling pirates to pay (even tho most pirates will just not play the game rather than suddenly start purchasing it).

It’s a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that’s hemorrhaging users and engagement.

Yeah, you’d make your version basically impossible to search for unless it massively blows up

If the choice is spend more to hold onto the byproducts or let the byproducts slowly make the entire earth uninhabitable I’m kinda in favour of the former. Ideally completely green energy would be preferred but I guess it just doesn’t scale well with consumer demands and patterns :/.

So games sold on storefronts owned by the same publishers as the game should be 30% cheaper right? Right?

I think the common incest fantasy in the west isn’t too far removed from this too. Like all the actors are above age minimums but they pretend to be step kids or babysitters like these roles aren’t commonly associated with children and older teens. It’s clearly a form of deflection IMO.

I’m aware but last I checked the adaptive triggers and some haptic were unsupported. Was asking if that’s supported now or not.

S.N. not sure why you’re being downvoted.

How’s the dualsense running on Linux? I opted for Xbox elite purely because I thought it’d have better support for the back pads but still not over bluetooth :-(.

This is absurd. Where’s the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?

Videos haven’t had a single ad in years. It’s always multiples bunched together and inconsistent as to whether you can skip or have to wait it out. Shows only ever have one opening (sometimes an ending as well) and their less predatory.

What is the basis of consistently here. Take2 broke Linux support for bioshock infinite a couple years back and valve refused my refund request. IME they have not done so. If they are for GTAV that’s great. Maybe they only started doing this after the steamdeck came out but really they should have protections in the TOS to safeguard consumer purchases.

But in the end you get more feature for a higher price. In this case it’s the same app for different prices depending on time frame… not to mention the app has no purpose beyond finding a wallpaper so it only really has 1 feature.

I legitimately avoided rockstar for years because they force you to use their store even when you buy on steam. I still haven’t played rdr2, despite critical acclaim. I finally caved and got GTAV on sale cause I realised none of this shit works. Consumers using purchasing power to enforce standards is a losing battle. The storefronts or legislators need to enforce this shit. I think it should be valve. They have the market position and userbase to actually succeed or at the very least convince publishers to not break shit that was already working fine.

I still blame valve a lot for this. Their TOS offer us no protection. Publishers should not be able to retroactively lock down a game. Diminishing the game performance or adding unwanted DRM after purchase should be a refundable offense. People choose whether or not to buy games based on properties like these.
