I think nowadays it might be best to use your personal account as new account can be suspected as bots.

If the US had a long term vision and totally embraced renewable energy, it wouldn't have this problem.

But it's not a problem in Linux: https://www.techpowerup.com/...

Curious, which subreddit banned you?

I joined Lemmy during the Reddit API controversy, which resulted in my favourite iOS Reddit app being removed from the market.

I'm enjoying it here. It reminds me of Reddit in the early 2000s. You can actually have meaningful conversations here, whereas on Reddit your contributions get lost in all the noise, and the karma system makes conversation less organic. I'm enjoying my time here.

Good. If we're being realistic, AI is not going anywhere and it needs to be perseved as a simply a tool among others. Humans still need to be experts. Children needs to learn how to think critically so that they can use it effectively

But that paragraph is an exception. For example, take this title from Le Monde:

J. D. Vance avance que l’Iran a accepté le retour d’inspecteurs de l’AIEA sur son sol

An English speaker can perhaps understand the gist of it. That Iran accepted the return of inspectors of IAEI.

To be honest. Downloading Flatpaks from Flathub is the way to go.

And don't believe the stories that take too much disk space. Libraries that Flatpaks depend on are only downloaded once and are shared with all the Flatpaks.

Yes, but everyday speech does not solely use Germanic words. Usually, Germanic words are mostly used in the realm of the familiar or personal, while words of Latin origin are mostly used outside that realm. This is why I think people will be able to understand the context.

So Sony isn’t looking at Steam as a failure. It is seeing it as a warning sign. PC players bought PlayStation games but they didn’t transition to PlayStation’s ecosystem where the real money is to be made for Sony. If the best of Sony’s catalogue keeps arriving on Steam, waiting becomes the strategy.

That's what I thought. They want people to enter to the PS5 ecosystem. But in this economy?! That's less than likely.

I selfhost because I want to be in control of my data and own it. Closed software is the antithesis of that. They're just bots trying to advertise their software.

Indeed. I think their failed attempt to integrate PSN into Helldivers made it clear that they couldn't profit from the PC market as they wanted. But, as you said, too bad for them.

Sigh... As always, life must be balanced. You can't go from one extreme to the other. It's a spectrum. I self-host what I deem important in order to keep it under my control and not on a capitalist platform.

It's an adventure, each month, you learn more and realize that you can host more services yourself.

Self-hosting is a community effort in which the whole community helps each other to self-host their data, including programming the services people use for this purpose. The problem with closed-source software is that we don't know what's happening behind the scenes, or if it's indeed sending telemetry.

Even worse, if that service is ever no longer supported or updated, I'll be left with data on my server that can't be used to its full potential, and a service that won't receive security updates.

Open-source software, on the other hand, is a community effort. If, for example, software is no longer updated or supported, it can easily be forked, and my data can be transferred to the new service.

Sigh. Because people can't think critically, they're easily brainwashed by these companies. After all, YOLO (you only live once). It's materialism at its finest. People are not content with what they have. They always want more to fill the void, but that void cannot be filled with material things.

I'm just ranting about the capitalist world of today.

You can consider whether upgrading to a newer PC makes sense for other reasons as well. Or if you’re technically confident, you can look into whether your motherboard BIOS has a community-supported update path, though we wouldn’t recommend it.

Or one can install Linux and be free of Microsoft Slop. I installed Linux Mint on my father's laptop and now he no longer calls me for support He likes it a hell lot more than Windows.

sigh, Algerians always have an excuse when stuff doesn't go their way.

The final window on display for the Steam Controller is simply marked “2027” with no specific release period for the device. Valve explains that it has “no plans to stop making” the controller, but the current demand has massively exceeded their internal estimations.

I really wonder if their estimates have taken into account scalpers and how to stop them.

As a Canadian, I won't be travelling to the Republic of Gilead anytime soon. That country is becoming worse by the minute.

And since Americans think I'm Latino (I'm not), I don't want to be shipped to El Salvador.

Long story short, if the Steam Machine gains enough market share, game publishers will want to join in because it will mean more money for them. It's all about money.
