Thank you, not just for showing respect and appreciation to the people behind Lemm.ee but because these posts are a magnet for the kind of trolls everyone should block before migrating elsewhere. 👌

This is the stuff I’m in Lemmy for. 💛

Baby don’t drift me 🎶🎵

I don’t usually like Disney but I’m already loving that blue mutilated snake. Bring it on.

Someone clearly has never used context menus or opened their account settings in Mastodon.

The entire world needs European services at this point.

Was about to comment that. I’m never trusting dual boot with Windows installed.

Supporting DRM-free games is key either way, but being fair there’s A LOT of work to be done to make it more accessible. GOG’s installers for instance are not better than compressing a game’s files yourself. Certainly hope they’re working on better installers. If it was in my hand I’d have them employ someone who makes game repacks. Anyway, I’ll take a peek and push for Steam to tag games as DRM-free when they are.

And Steam. You just have to be picky. Even GOG sometimes lets a game with it’s own DRM slip. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_Games_on_Steam

Had a gamedev from a respected studio tell me that same rumour about Steam pushing exclusivities. All it takes is a little digging to find out that’s false. Some people were upset when Steam was installed with Valve’s own games as a launcher, and later more and more devs launched their games on Steam as a store because they wanted to. The alternative, Games For Windows Live, was lame and unstable. It was just the a smart choice for those that didn’t want to make their own launcher. Also, don’t feed that other troll who’s been posting nonsense everywhere. 🤣 And yeah, even if some good came from milking tons of cash from spoiled kids (I was glad for Oddworld Inhabitants to name one), as a consumer it’s best to just delete your EGS account. If you got a game there for free that you wish to keep just copy its files elsewhere ASAP before deleting your account. Epic Games is known to have randomly deleted games from accounts because of server issues and their customer support will reject complaints about this by default, so getting attached to it’s library is not a good idea.

Oh! One more thing. Epic Online Services. If it’s optional in a game just disable it. You’ll have less connection issues and in some games you just won’t be able to play online at all if you don’t disable that crap. Same goes for Epic’s Easy Anti-Cheat, some mods let you disable that in a few games and doing so fixes some stutters it causes (night and day difference in Elden Ring). You’re welcome. 🫶

I’d make backups of my purchases and share them with love for preservation and promotion of their authors hard work. “Piracy” was already shown to increase sales, not reduce them. If you really want to do something against an artist you no longer align with, dont consume their products. Don’t purchase, don’t download and don’t share their stuff. Just look around for other artists you do align with, get hooked to their art and support them instead.

Let’s hope they consolidate their social media presence further and stop posting on most of their other profiles as well.

It’s their call anyway, as is anyone else’s to keep using their services or not. I don’t think most of these companies’ use of their official social media profiles benefit anyone, and it’s certainly not a meaningful enough news for the echo they’re getting. Anyone truly interested in whatever Proton AG is doing will probably have a Proton account and undoubtedly receive frequent emails from them. Any stunts made by community managers representing them are just ephemeral noise.

Important to note Aaron was helping democratize information while companies like Meta, Amazon, Google and Microsoft just centralize, twist and redact information to monetize access to a dumbed down and censored version of it.

I recently switched to PDFgear. Much more easy and comfortable to use, but sadly still not open source. Give it a try if you’re interested.

Parece que #Kbin ha llegado a callarme la boca. Antes contaba con peor federación que #Lemmy y ahora pasa al contrario. #Kbin parece llevar ventaja.

As silly as applying review scores to art? Take a moment to really think about how dumb that is.

Oh, people still pay attention to review scores? 🤣

Everyone can be a friend when it’s easy and convenient. It’s during the bad times, when they suffer and it’s not so easy to keep cool, that their true values or lack of come to light.

Not any that actually let you edit properly. The best thing I’ve found is Xodo but that’s not open source.
