> claims most steam games are drm free

> shown that most games that people play aren’t drm free

I missed the part where I cared about this conversation anymore. Enjoy your weekend!

Alright 🙄

Did you miss the part where I said I mostly excluded them?

The steam link should explain it, it’s the biggest games on steam in terms of revenue.

Out of the non-free games 2/6 platinum games have DRM. 8/9 gold games have drm. And that’s ignoring DRM via being live service game without support for self hosting server (a big portion if you also check the silver games).

Disclaimer, I used perplexity.ai to ask if each individual game included drm or not. Ignoring DRM that is one time verification and support offline play.

This new law should absolutely include every game store on the Internet.

If you buy a game on GOG, you can download the game and put it on 100 USB sticks and sell each one of them with a fully working copy for perpetuity. You buy the game on GOG. Just because the shop may go down doesn’t mean you lose your product.

GOG guarantees that every game is DRM free and can be offline. Steam makes no such guarantees, and most games there will ship with some form of DRM.

Yeah, it’s why I always choose GOG over Steam when I have a choice, even if it costs slightly more.

Hmm, I thought it was more recent, but it sounds about right!

There was a lot of noise surrounding GOG a few months back about something like that. GOG was going in that direction but had to pull back/remove the game(?) to due backlash.

The sea should be marked as C considering that’s what you’ll discover when you get deep into it.

There was/is a few communities that are just bots mirroring a similar community on reddit. No idea if those got canned though.

Damn, never a lemmy thread this weird before. People need to grow up and shed those game insecurities, let people enjoy their hobbies.

Just buy the correct size…

Transparent LED screens + head tracking

dare I say Arch is easier and users friendly than Ubuntu

No, please stop trying to fool Linux beginners into starting out with Arch.

This exaggeration gets tiresome, there are some great uses for LLM. The copilot autocomplete got to be one of the greatest QoL functions in a modern IDE.

It also generally work great for tech support, and lowers the skill requirement for installing and maintaining a Linux distro. Nowadays I will usually just redirect tech support questions from family members to an LLM.

Just because it won’t solve cancer in 10 years like the tech bros preach doesn’t mean the tech is without uses.

3, about two lines per contributor

The only two people arguing against the change were both authors/contributors of is-number lol

It’s sandboxed, but still there. Most stuff should work as normal.

Check out Graphene OS, it supports the pixel lineup and is pretty easy to install if you know how to read and copy paste.

I think I sleep more often with a pillow on top of my head or hip than actually using the pillow as intended. If you need head/neck support, the comforter is better suited for the job as you can fold it to the right shape.
