- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but 1000ms latency is super bad. No service has anything even close to that high.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 weeks ago:
It is rejected, for now. But that could change, only really takes one massive game to do it to open the floodgates.
U don’t think it will happen, but what if GTA6 did it? They would be big enough to be able to pull it off, and most of their revenue will probably come from online anyway, so adding a base game subscription could make sense for them.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 weeks ago:
Very much depends on the game though. A bit of lag in strategy/city builder/etc is not really an issue. But in a competive shooter it is a huge deal.
- Comment on ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Is Postponed Again — to November 2026 2 weeks ago:
I liked the DLCs as well. I know why they don’t do them anymore, as online is a money printing machine. But I really liked them and wished they had done more.
The world exists, so just add a story with a bunch of missions => nice DLC. But since they make such an obscene amount of money from online it makes no sense for them to do any more.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 3 weeks ago:
Getting a replacement SIM from the phone company is often shockingly easy, just a tiny bit of social engineering. And then you have access to the number and everything that 2FA “protects”
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
No, but it is a far more complex problem than what the other comment made it sound like. That it is only because they cheap out on server hardware and it could be perfect if they just wasn’t cheap.

Not always, latency is a huge problem especially in action games.

If you have physical access you have full access anyway
No, encrypt your drives.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 months ago:
This is exactly what it was designed to solve before cryptobros turned it into a pump and dump scheme.
If you want to buy something from seller X that is between you and X and no one else. No goverment, payment processor or other third party can get a cut or stop it for any reason.
- Comment on The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat 4 months ago:
Eh, you could make your own kernel module and require it being enabled for Linux as well. It would be a major undertaking though, and since the linux share is very small still it just isn’t worth it.

Boink! Right into the pillar, again

Rail and aviation are pretty much on par. Both are far far much safer than road traffic.

Maybe not, some immature kids think anything with X in it looks cool. Just look at Musk renaming twitter.

So close, why not Duff Man?
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 6 months ago:
Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.
The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.
Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

Eh, git is good but it is not like he invented source control. Before git there were subversion and before that CVS, along with a lot of others (mostly pay to use).
Git does some things really good and has become more or less the de-facto standard, it does other things not so good (like binary files). But it is not unique.
- Comment on I'm not sure I'm toning up my arms the right way, can you help me? 9 months ago:
Good advice.
Also, work on your form and not to increase weights. So many are doing some weird sort of back swing exercise when doing curls for, example
- Comment on What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists? 11 months ago:
Does this “Security Theater” actually scare away a would-be terrorist?
I very much doubt it. Also it would be a lot easier to just bribe/threaten/blackmail an airport employee to “forget” to lock a gate or similar and get anything you want in that way.

Nah, just don’t play the AAA bullshit. It is not worth your time to pirate

…and it drives me insane when it is not real links but some javascript/button/div-with-onclick/etc and middle click won’t work
- Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing? 1 year ago:
Recruiters can’t see the difference! (Ok, not all but a worrying high percentage)

Subscription based teeth?
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 1 year ago:
I think a better, but still not perfect, way to define it would be “This person wants to do X, but can’t support him/her/itself doing it.”
Of course, if you are already rich it doesn’t matter and then it is a bad metric (one of the reasons it isn’t perfect.) However, I think it is a better way to define it. Someone writing a few books as a hobby and then stops are not a failed writer, but someone that wants to be a writer but just can’t support it is.
Basically I think the intent matters, but that is impossible to measure (and people lie about it). So being able to do it as a profession is an ok metric.
- Comment on Who owns the servers for Lemmy? 1 year ago:
You can export the list of subscribed communities in 0.19.
If you do that every now and then a shutdown would still hurt. As all the communities hosted on it would be lost but at least you can import your subscription list on another server.

Factorio.
What do you mean, there are other games? No time for those. The factory must grow!
