- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
If you insist upon saying one store is more virtuous than the other… okay? I personally don’t like defending companies but you do you.
Could you please not put words into my mouth? Neither is “virtuous” and I am not defending them. Let’s stick to the facts instead. It’s clear that EGS is being actively hostile towards Linux, while GOG is merely negligent. EGS actively removed Linux support from previously supported games on at least one occasion (Rocket League).
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 4 weeks ago:
Not nearly the same degree. GOG sells actual Linux games with no 3rd party software necessary to play them. The same cannot be said about EGS, one simply cannot launch an EGS game in an officially supported way.

It depends. What’s your estimated net worth?

From the Lemmy World terms of service:
No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.
If someone lies to access the website, it’s on them.

Why stop there? Anyone even without a knife is potentially dangerous!

Just like any game ever sold on a CD.

Isn’t it illegal under GDPR? It seems to be the exact same thing Facebook tried to do.

Probably no, not in this specific form, that being said I don’t want to compare one tragedy to another. There are lots of disgusting parts of the human history, and that’s certainly one of them.
- Comment on obesity 5 months ago:
To my non-American ears “negro” sounds far worse actually. Probably because of how rare it is in comparison.
- Comment on obesity 5 months ago:
Frankly that’s something I do not understand. Why this single specific word? We have dozens of terrible offensive words. Why this specific one is considered so bad we cannot even talk about it directly, even when merely discussing it? I would think discussing it and not directing it at someone would be pretty reasonable. As with every single other word.

Yes, the Galaxy S5 was the only Samsung flagship using the micro USB 3.0 port. They backpedaled to micro USB 2.0 in S6 and S7, and then migrated to USB-C in S8. I’m not sure about the Note series.
- Comment on Absolutely deranged 6 months ago:
Unlikely, the A plugs are for the host devices while the B plugs are for peripherals. It got blurred with phones (see: USB-OTG) but in general the host devices were big enough to have full-sized USB ports, so the smaller USB-Bs are extremely rare.
- Comment on Absolutely deranged 6 months ago:
Yes, that’s what I meant by “the micro USB most of us know”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the A variant of micro USB.
- Comment on Absolutely deranged 6 months ago:
The micro USB most of us know already is a USB-B. Each cable before USB-C had USB-A on one side and USB-B on the other. The square-like one used for printers is a full-sized USB-B, as opposed to the one used in phones (micro USB-B).

It’s a nice wallpaper though for what it’s worth.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 8 months ago:
I have nothing against veganism as a dietary decision, I’m actually seriously considering it for health reasons and for easier food preparation.
I am sick of veganism as a moral high horse, especially with hypocrisy in the background. I have a friend constantly ordering stuff, including vegan ingredients, from Amazon of all places. If he’s going to low-key admonish me for hurting animals, I’d expect him to care about the Amazon warehouse employees to a similar degree. Unless it’s all just posturing.

As if! I’m sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.
