agreed but barely touch is not the same as never touch that’s why I think they are looking at play time as some kind of real metic where it’s been broken from the beginning. You make a really good point as well about offline can also impact that as well.
alternative headline “steam users have a ton of games they got from a humble bundle for super cheap and we didn’t take that into account and used the msrp value of each game for this shocking headline.”
Also some games don’t count time on older games. i know I have games like half life 2 episode 1 that i have beaten that show I never played them since I played them before they started tracking time.
aa it should be
Can you imagine what it would’ve be like if more companies has these handover moments. Support is officially handled over to the community. People pick up touch and the developers get to move on.
it’s like the story of the USfighter jets they built it to the avg male thinking it would work for anyone but ended working for noone.
not as big as the whole US but it was big like a low key burnout paradise but bigger
great I will play my copy of test drive unlimited 2 to get ready… oh wait I can’t
why post the short when the full interview is only 5 mins and Linked in the short’s description?
it depends on if I heard a voice of that character before for example Batman is always Kevin Conroy and the joker is always Mark Hamill. another usecase is if I listened to the audio book then start reading a text book. Ray Potter shows up alot.
only someone running arch or debian sid or an bleeding edge rolling release on an internet exposed ssh port. the idea of that configuration would sound ludicrous. even so we should be building off git repos not tar balls.
the weird part this situation has made me feel safer. the amount of work that went into social engineering this and it only lasted a month tops for people that run distros that would just not be or should not be used as an exposed server ever.
it shows open source works. This is more embarrassing than anything and we deserve it. We need to pay core library devs and have a mechanism that core libraries can be handed off to a trusted org.while another upstream maintainer can be found or the project shut down and other projects move away from the un maintained project. When the person maintaining the project gets burned out or has other issues.
I agree but with timeshift im able to be back up and running in 5 mins tops so I take more risks.
honestly I think it’s 95% there and would get that last 4% if you could go to a retail store and just buy one. the perception would be enough to get hardware and software vendors to start supporting it in a very short time. kinda like how cyberpunk has a steam deck present.
Would it be over night? No but real change is never quick. Perception has to change before the change happens. Why do you think MS and other Software vendors pays so much money to PC manufacturers to stay on Windows.
Remember with a windows PC purchase and bloatware. You’re a customer and a product, your desktop is a billboard. So it’s against their interest to give you agency in what OS you use.
The logic I always subscribe to is, issues in Linux can be fixed maybe not by you or me but someone at some point in the future. On a long enough timeline we win. Where as it’s not an issue with Windows, but a business decision to annoy you and thus can never be fixed.
anyone else see Ryan Reynolds in that picture?
It’s Insurrection not treason. Treason is very narrowly defined as giving Aid & Comfort to a foreign power. People misuse treason way too often.
it was worse than that and even dumber the UK was a founding member and had extra perks. That other EU members didn’t get and they threw all that away. Even if they do join back they will never get that deal again.
can a state be named after interstate 35?
Big Tex is dead he caught fire roughly 10 years ago. the one there now is an impostor
not open source but free to use for personal use and cross platform Obsidian.md uses flat files that can be synced using a number of file syncing tools or synced to get for version control
this is what i have been saying all along
