Dear wage slave: the free snacks (and the private jet) are costing too much, we need to cut back because we are struggling.

You probably know most of it so just some advice: Don’t format the Partition table (MBR to GPT etc.) on the disk whose data you wish to keep.

Shrinking a partition or moving it carries a small risk of data loss and will take significantly longer than creating a new partition (since data needs to be cut and pasted from one area of the disk to another). If your old laptop has an empty slot for another SSD or NVME drive you can plug that in, and still dualboot and having the new drive Linux only.

Also to deal with the occasional Windows cockups, just carry a boot-repair USB, the auto repair has fixed the Windows issue for me 90% of the time (the other times are usually boot order priority or other BIOS setting)

Congrats on finishing and publishing your game! Definitely is well-inspired from make-believe play that many of us have done as kids.

Neat, I did already transfer my budgeting to GNUCash a few months ago, but this looks shiny too.

Lamp oil, rope, bombs? You want it? It’s yours my friend. As long as you have enough bananas.

DDG only recommending older Reddit answers as a result of the Google deal may be a net positive for it then.

A new in-game plague? /s

If driving away sales counts as “it works”, then good for them.

Hahaha I saw the parent commentor of that chain notorious for getting into back and forth arguments, sometimes reasonable sometimes not, and I thought to myself, this is going to be fun. Then I recognized the username of that other .ml user as a known troll and I was like, yep now this is going to go way off the rails.

The whole point of casinos is to get people to feel like they are one play away from winning big, in perpetuity.

I don’t know how much of a bootlicker one has to be to get “verified” but if I were, I’d try to politely ask the staff how Denuvo can be bypassed or circumvented.

I bestow upon you the title of 凡人 (bonjin), in Japanese means an unremarkably mediocre person. You can tattoo it and tell people it means psychopath instead of course, who’s stopping you?

So how many chickpeas gets you a flight control system at today’s exchange rates?

The AI pilot of the Su-70 was rumored to be defecting to the Ukrainian side. The Russian airforce promptly dealt with it.

would be top on UK Spotify for one day.

umu, what’s this?

Jokes aside, I actually needed this since I used to run Proton just like WINE but after some version many games didn’t work by just changing “wine” to “proton”.

I remember using Reddit years ago on Links. New Reddit was borderline unusable, old Reddit worked… okayish. How is Default web UI Lemmy on Links? Is there a nice TUI client that I guess you would use more regularly?

I can’t deny that Steam has a large marketshare over the digital video game distribution market, and that it could abuse its position, and that the 30% distributor cut is steep. All true. Is it currently abusing its position? Arguably yes and no.

Looking through the evidence document provided in the video, the alleged link between decreased % of multihoming indicating the enforcement of a PMFN is weak IMO. Steam’s support for Linux, its own Steam Deck, good customer service, return policy, family sharing and remote play are major reasons to be a Valve patron, not always about price.

The evidence at 9:05 in the video that suggests Valve says they “stop selling them altogether” was in response to a Steam Key inquiry. The other quotes were related to removing it from the front page and sales feature pages (not delisting but not there unless you search for it). That’s not delisting but perhaps it is anti-competitively deranking it. I’m not sure what the rules are though, like a grocery store doesn’t have to put a product at the front of a store when a rival has a steeper sale for it, but they could ask for the same discount while offering to make it similarly visible. Overall it’s not nearly as serious as OOP makes it seem.

The 2 reasons you provide are actually why games that offer an offline mode functionality (more specifically that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet) are exempted from needing to follow this law.

I don’t think this is a preemption of the SKG campaign but actually one of the realistic goals of that campaign. I don’t think the ability to rent software for a limited time is an issue, but tricking people into thinking they can use something they purchased forever, to have it unilaterally taken away due to 3rd party licensing, decommissioning servers or other excuse is the problem.
