You have no idea what you are talking about. You can own and resell any physical piece of game media. If you have a gameboy cartridge, nobody can take that game away from you. Also if you have DRM free game files from gog, nobody can take that away from you.

The only case where this disgusting lincense shit is possible, is when games require being online and logging in to unlock the DRM.

the fact that I don’t actually own my games

It doesnt solve this in the slightest. Steam and game publishers can always take your games away without prior notice.

PC Cases arent usually biodegradable if i recall correctly. What did you do to the poor thing?

I dont think the curve would look like this without valves efforts to push linux, so i am a bit forgiving when it comes to them wanting money to do random research and development. So far they have always been making cool stuff with that money.

Until it doesnt and your entire game library is done…

Ah yeah my bad its the number of sales where indie games win. In terms of money its almost 50/50 tho. People are sick and tired of expensive garbage games and that shows in the drastic changes in revenue from 2023-2024.

Ofcourse if you include in game costs, then it probably changes again.

Not me, but i do want steam to stay the main game platform, if the alternative is epic games. That means you want to keep big studios on the platform.

On the other hand the vast majority of the money that valve makes comes from indie games, not big studios.

Steam really needs something like this. Even the first 100k would be a great start for boosting indie devs.

Instead they do the opposite and reward the big players.

Steam actually reduces their cut as you hit certain milestones. For your first $10M in sales, they take that standard 30%. Hit the $10M mark, and their cut drops to 25% for sales between $10M and $50M. Push past $50M, and Steam only takes 20%.

Yeah i know, but thats not what the title says

Light years is not a unit of velocity, so the “at” in the title is odd.

They are the definition of move fast and break things. And they just keep breaking things while not even being that fast. But still there is nothing to replace it and the work they are doing is valuable.

If you want the new mobile client “element x” to work, you will need element-call on the server (a decentralized webrtc based call system). This currently only really works in combination with synapse, so i would go with synapse. Either the ansible playbook as mentioned by others, or look into the still quite new ESS community edition.

This is not great news for the matrix ecosystem

Is the PoE 2 tutorial boss any harder than the PoE 1 tutorial boss? Because if not, then thats actually crazy.

When asked specifically about how Bluesky might fit into these plans, a spokesperson would only comment on its ActivityPub progress.

Based. But yeah tumblr has been talking about activitypub for years now and i get that this takes a lot of work, but damn they are taking a while.

Its only an issue if you play like 8+ hours every day. For small movements most people use their wrist and that fucks your joints if you do it enough. That is one of the reasons for why pro players do it.

Thats crazy how much the preferences differ. I do like 2 spins with my big ass mousepad.

Im using quiterss. Its kinda old so you might miss a lot of modern features.

It only takes proper feed URLs like this https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCuNy42Y5egf07cSiHbF23wg so you gotta get the channel_id from somewhere, but you can also just import an .opml file that you exported from another RSS reader.

Im sure there are better ones but i just need keyword filtering and categories so i have somewhat basic needs.

Im on linux and thats all i know, so if you arent i cant help ya…

You can install mpv from your package manager. This should automatically install yt-dlp as a dependency, but probably not the latest version which is very necessary.

That means you have to get the latest version from the github https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#release-files Just take the first thing in the table.

yt-dlp | Platform-independent zipimport binary. Needs Python (recommended for Linux/BSD)

This yt-dlp file will have to go into your /home/user/.local/bin/ folder, so that it gets used instead of the outdated version installed by your OS when mpv looks for it.

That should be the basic setup. To use it you just do mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0 in your terminal, which will open that video. In my RSS reader i can define a custom browser application, so i just give it mpv as a browser, that way i dont have to open a terminal every time.

If you want to have a button that redirects youtube vids from your browser to mpv, that requires some more tinkering. If you wanna do that i can write another comment.
