Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.

.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy's technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.

I've been liking .zip so far.

That was always Gabe's intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.

It seems to me the steam deck already meets this regulation, or would with very minimal change. It does not say you need to have an access door like gamboys had. It just says the battery needs to be easily replaceable with commonly available tools (or included tools). To replace the steam decks battery you just need a size 0 Phillips screwdriver and something to pop it open like a guitar pick or a credit card. You would easily be able to get all the tools you need at any hardware store.

Don't forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.

Not sure if it's right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.

I haven't touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It's still there with all my purchases intact.

Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.

It's NKY, it's in the headline

I'm so annoyed by all the "why isn't it another RPG?" Complaints in the video comments. Why would southpark lend itself only to the RPG genre? Does anyone complain that Mario kart isn't a platformer?

The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I'm the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

I haven't tested them per se since that is not what I bought the back plate for, but there is absolutely a noticable difference in the heat that radiates off the device.

Originally, because I was a poor middle school student with a bunch of dumpster hardware. I could not afford a windows license (this was the XP days). I immediately liked Ubuntu (gnome 2 at the time) more than windows, everything felt faster and more customizable. It really screamed on my pentium 3. I used Linux of various flavors all the way through school and continue to use it as my OS of choice to this day. I remember my teachers always being mad that I didn't use "times new Roman" font when I turned in papers, explaining that I used Linux and TNR was not an available font didn't do much for me. I would switch to windows for AAA games back in the day, but that is quickly becoming less necessary.

The biggest benefit I have seen over the years is that it is so much easier to keep old hardware alive (and still secure) with Linux. If your old matching is starting to bog down you can always find a lighter weight distro to load it up with. And when you are ready to upgrade hardware the old stuff can easily be turned into a server, game console, or PC for grandma. Anything to keep it out of a landfill is pretty easy to do. It used to be that you never had to worry about paying for an upgrade either, but now that windows is essentially free for upgrades that is no longer a huge benefit.

I don't think it really matters. Meta has proven time and time again that they don't care about your privacy. Even if they are doing the right thing this time, trust needs to be earned.

I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it's just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven't logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).

Humble monk has DND at 1 every Sunday. I believe it is dropin friendly.

I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.

If anything is worth investing in it's this. How often does a city get a chance to add several acres immediately adjacent to their CBD, and reconnect a huge swath of long neglected land to the rest of the city at the same time? This is a no brainier on the benefits front. The only question I would have is on the technical side, like extreme grades and curves that cause more accidents. But I'm confident those issues can be ironed out.

Decent ideas. I tend to err more on the BRT side knowing money is finite, and good will for transit in Cincinnati is even more so. BRT is a great starting point with pretty low investment costs, then lines could be upgraded to light rail if the BRT is run well enough to improve the regions view of transit.

The Cincinnati to Oxford line will happen, no doubt. Oxfords Amtrak station (on the Cincinnati to Chicago line) should be opening in 2026 or there abouts, and the return to daily service will be a huge boon to ridership. Especially as the relatively wealthy Miami student base wants to come into the city for more entertainment options. This will eventually warrant more than daily service, but I doubt management will ever be taken over by a regional rail authority.

That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.
