My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it’s smooth as butter. I guess what I’m saying is Linux for everything at this point… for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.

If Denuvo has no negative impact on sales, what’s the need for their recent PR campaign to “rehabilitate their image”? https://feddit.nl/post/22918778

Denuvo is a deal-breaker for me.

And I can refund the game if I don’t like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.

Depends on how you get it. Consenting adults donating their own they can afford to lose? Vegan. Caged up toddlers that can’t consent? Not vegan.

Steam Deck support?

If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Just copy/pasting something I wrote in another thread as it applies just as much here. https://lemmy.ca/comment/4835622

Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn’t even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

I’ll happily debate political beliefs, but not here. In vegan communities, I’m here for the animals and welcome anyone here with similar motivations. Fragmenting the community by requiring increasingly narrow adherence to beliefs X, Y, and Z is not helpful.

I’m actively working on building something for this. In the interim, most phones have something akin to a voice recorder with transcriptions.

Its the same “power corrupts” story again and again. Karina Gould gave an impassioned speech on electoral reform (http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/house/sitting-64/hansard#Int-8963139). But after replacing Maryam Monsef as Minister of Democratic Institutions, her views suddenly became far more simplistic. In a 2017 interview on CBC’s Metro Morning, she was asked “Why is it important that people at the very least believe every vote counts?”. She replies “Because they do. … We literally count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, up to the majority that wins.”

Agar is only going to work if you heat it. Xanthan gum might be the best alternative here that requires no heating. It’ll certainly make it more viscous, but might result in a less than appealing texture. I’d experiment with maybe heating a xanthan gum and agar mix, then removing from heat and stirring in the yogurt. I dunno, requires playing around depending on desired results.

Things that contain six pairs also contain two pairs. :P

Until they reach a deal with mobile carriers and start shipping with SIM cards…

In addition, theatres advertise a starting time of X:00, but the movie can sometimes start as late as X:30 after 30 fucking minutes of ads and trailers. That was my previous and last experience in a theatre.

“When other people take notice of an individual’s identity-related behavioral intention, this gives the individual a premature sense of possessing the aspired-to identity.”

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I’m surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.
