Before you ask, the accent varies based on diet.

They've already burnt up thousands of tons of satellites and plan to burn so much more e-waste in our atmosphere.

Bummer their company didn't work out but good on them for not screwing over their customers!
- Comment on Is it reasonable to tell a person you once loved about the fact years later? 2 weeks ago:
It kinda depends but the answer in most cases is no: Err on the side of caution and say nothing unless she expresses interest and you feel the same way now. Then it might be OK to admit you had a crush on her back in the day.

Holy shit who said anything about worshiping? Unhinged response. Follow your own advice and touch some grass buddy.

Steam delists games, however, if you already bought it, you still have access to it.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
No, I don't.
I can (and should) look at each one on a case by case basis, compare the parts, the actual costs of said parts, and make a determination from there. In the case of Steam devices, I do not lot believe they are price gouging - you can build a similar device that's going to be on par with or less expensive than their machine, but not by all that much.

Yeah, that seems like it could be alright.

I chimney up the stall about halfway and drop that deuce like a mountain goat.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Maybe you've have enough Internet for today but before you go, allow me to explain:
When someone says something like that, they don't literally mean it.
"I love tacos" does not actually mean that I have actual feelings of love for them, even if they are delicious.
It's just a phrase.

Support the devs when you can. Most pirates end up spending far more on games and other media than the average person in the long run.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Supposedly if Steam ever goes under they'll unlock everything, but if you ask me: GOG is just the thing for you!
Or set sail if it's a shitty company that stole the game you bought, arrr....
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Why do you think that? Turning off DRM would be trivial and they might even end up being legally obligated to do just that either because of laws or because of how whatever hypothetical bankruptcy they go through might be structured. Never mind Valve going belly up seems highly unlikely to begin with. If it does ever happen and it happens in the way you describe, piracy will absolutely skyrocket and people will stop buying games online after they've had their trust shaken.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
The cost of making the Steam Deck has gone up. Valve can't sell them at a massive loss or they'll go out of business. That's not Valve jacking up the price, like I already pointed out:
Go re-read my post, because you clearly missed an important part
the only reason their hardware is expensive now is because part manufacturers are mostly price gouging (lying about AI being the cause of ALL the increased costs, which isn't true, just like it wasn't entirely true with the bitcoin mining craze).
Building a PC has skyrocketed in price too, blaming Valve is just ridiculous.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
So, you are blaming Steam for other platforms being way shittier: Maybe the other companies should be less shitty instead instead of trying to nickle and dime their customers while offering up garbage-to-mediocre services. Blaming Steam for making a platform that isn't a fucking dumpster fire is ridiculous.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
I did read and I disagree with your assessment: It was not really explained.
- Comment on Don't mind me, I'm just trying to bring back mothposting 2 weeks ago:
More of a bean guy myself, but I wish you the best of luck!
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
If a corporation does something good, it's OK to say, "Hey, good job. I love that!"
If a corporation does something legitimately shitty, it's definitely OK to criticize them mercilessly too (I do it all the time, would recommend).
What's not OK is trying to tell me people what they can or can't praise/criticize.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Valve has not jacked up prices: Their game prices have been consistently among the cheapest and the only reason their hardware is expensive now is because part manufacturers are mostly price gouging (lying about AI being the cause of ALL the increased costs, which isn't true, just like it wasn't entirely true with the bitcoin mining craze).
It's also worth pointing out that Valve has made massive contributions to Linux gaming (and Linux in general), which enables people to game on potato-spec machines and compared to other gaming platforms, they are far better than almost all of them except for GOG.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Mint is cool, but have you tried Bazzite? I just switched a while back and it's been a pretty solid gaming experience.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
What else would purchases be tied to??? This criticism doesn't make any sense. Support has been great for me and no, it's certainly not a monopoly: There are dozens of game stores online. Just because Valve created the best one doesn't mean it's a monopoly, it means that all the other ones are shit (except for GOG, they're awesome and even better in some ways).
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
Fuck yeah, love you Valve.
Love your contributions to Linux more though.

So, the Teams instance you're connecting to and all of the data therein is company property: Their IT/security team or teams are still obligated to protect that data and allowing the use of any and every app could potentially cause problems or exfil proprietary company data.
Whether the phone is owned by you or them is irrelevant, the data is still compromised either way, so I doubt they enacted that policy by mistake.

NoScript is good stuff but some folks might not have the patience to use it.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Oooh, ok, that looks like a policy setting your employer has. Looks like you might have to get them to make an exception. It works fine on my Pixel 8 and where I work but they may not have the inputs locked down.
There might be another way around it but if it's a company issued device, it's not worth getting in trouble over.

I'm not sure I follow you regarding Teams: Heliboard works fine in mine? I have Gboard completely disabled on my phone and it doesn't even show up as an option in my Teams client on Android 16. What's happening on your phone? It just doesn't allow you to select it as an input when you're using Teams?

Heliboard is what you seek.
