  It does mean doing something: they have to spell out whether consumers should have rights on this or not. Currently it’s undefined, which is equivalent to “not.”

  popularizing your viewpont

  And the initiative works against that? You say the cause could have gotten more publicity without it? I really don’t see how that could happen, or understand the point in guilt tripping over it.

  energy wasted

  I’m starting to think this argument is energy wasted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s entirely backwards. I’ve boycotted these online kill-switched games pretty well, but that means fuck all because the general public is incapable of collectively caring about anything. Regulation on the other hand does have an effect, and should the initiative pass, EU is required to properly answer it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m aware of the drama. I just didn’t expected this level of stonks to turn up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Until last week I thought it was done, but somehow it flipped around. Things are looking pretty good, with massive youtubers and streamers taöking about it.

  I’m glad the ball is rolling again. This can change gaming and set a precedent for other things as well.

  A steamos device should be very much plug and play. I don’t know how good this would be in practice, but with a few clicks, non-steamos linux in can be set to boot straight into steam’s tv interface, which has the necessary ui for power off, system updates, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is all subjective, but because of nintendo’s bs, switch 2 is their first console I have almost zero interest getting. If your kids specifically really want the switch, they’ll be disappointed by anything else, but if not, I recommend looking into steam deck or other linux handhelds.

  It’s not enough to make it available as an option somewhere so it’s there when you need it, they need accidental clicks to inflate metrics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best laptop under $200 to buy for YunoHost Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At that price point, something used and not particularly recent. Even an old laptop will be good performance-wise, but not necessarily storage-wise.

  However, buying a laptop to run at home might not be the most reliable or economical way to host Lemmy: you can rent a virtual server for not much, provided that you have access to a computer to remotely access the server with.

  I have zero experience with YunoHost, so I don’t know how that may or may not limit the options. Probably the most common way is to use Lemmy-Ansible. It’s easy (well, relatively speaking) and is maintained by the actual lemmy devs themselves. Managed services (ones where you don’t have to deal with the server) should also exist for lemmy, but I’ve never used them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I did read it. Obviously Apple didn’t use those exact words, but the argument is the same: users are incapable of making safe decisions and need to be protected from themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When instances federate, they don’t send old content. Old content will be fetched if a user tries to open it, for example by clicking a link to an old post (on some apps) or pasting its url into the search box.

  The data copied to the other instance will stay on the other instance, unless manually deleted for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not very likely. Translating cpu architectures is completely different from from what wine/proton does. A compatibility layer for arm would be even more difficult and expensive, and have a performance penalty. They might plan that for further into future, if arm takes off for PC though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using obsidian notes for a lot of things. I have a kanban board there that goes buy->bought->in progress->finished->100%

  The last step is pretty useless because I never even want to 100% a game. I should remove it.

  Cool, I don’t need another watch, but I’m interested to see what kind of mechanical movement one can get for $5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the not too distant past this was a thing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like the right price range. Maybe yours was just massively discounted for whatever reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the not too distant past this was a thing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All of those seem to be quartz and not mechanical.
