.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy's technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I've been liking .zip so far.

I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it's just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven't logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).
Short sellers, and the corporation that absorbs them at bargain prices.
That was always Gabe's intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.
Don't forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.
It seems to me the steam deck already meets this regulation, or would with very minimal change. It does not say you need to have an access door like gamboys had. It just says the battery needs to be easily replaceable with commonly available tools (or included tools). To replace the steam decks battery you just need a size 0 Phillips screwdriver and something to pop it open like a guitar pick or a credit card. You would easily be able to get all the tools you need at any hardware store.
Not sure if it's right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.
Eh, it's unenforceable. Just theater from a bunch of politicians that don't understand the technology. I wouldn't worry about it.
I haven't touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It's still there with all my purchases intact.
Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.
No it's not, unless they have a MacBook. And even in that case it's not hard to find an external SSD with a thunderbolt or USB3.2 interface.
The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I'm the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.
I haven't tested them per se since that is not what I bought the back plate for, but there is absolutely a noticable difference in the heat that radiates off the device.
Originally, because I was a poor middle school student with a bunch of dumpster hardware. I could not afford a windows license (this was the XP days). I immediately liked Ubuntu (gnome 2 at the time) more than windows, everything felt faster and more customizable. It really screamed on my pentium 3. I used Linux of various flavors all the way through school and continue to use it as my OS of choice to this day. I remember my teachers always being mad that I didn't use "times new Roman" font when I turned in papers, explaining that I used Linux and TNR was not an available font didn't do much for me. I would switch to windows for AAA games back in the day, but that is quickly becoming less necessary.
The biggest benefit I have seen over the years is that it is so much easier to keep old hardware alive (and still secure) with Linux. If your old matching is starting to bog down you can always find a lighter weight distro to load it up with. And when you are ready to upgrade hardware the old stuff can easily be turned into a server, game console, or PC for grandma. Anything to keep it out of a landfill is pretty easy to do. It used to be that you never had to worry about paying for an upgrade either, but now that windows is essentially free for upgrades that is no longer a huge benefit.
That was the first way I installed Ubuntu. I remember the bootleg ones on eBay for $5 also.
I don't think it really matters. Meta has proven time and time again that they don't care about your privacy. Even if they are doing the right thing this time, trust needs to be earned.
According to one person, that likely made it up for fake internet points.
That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.
I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.
I'm not saying they won't try, just that it doesn't matter. They have no power here
I honestly wish more programs did the app by app theming thing like steam and discord. I don't need my desktop theme applied to every program I open. I would much rather the program to have a consistent design language that works, rather than slapping themed buttons all over the place that don't fit with other aspects of the program.
Does that keyboard fit in the case while closed? I don't need a keyboard with the deck often, but it would be nice to have one with it all the time for that off chance I do. The times I need a keyboard I really need a keyboard.
Air pods are known to have connection issues with non apple devices. The solution to that problem is to just get headphones that are made with other devices in mind.
It's not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.
New MacBooks have their memory soldered directly to the main board and don't have an extra m.2 port. There are very few windows laptops that meet both of those criteria. But like I said, even in those cases you can install games on an external drive.
This was happening to me for awhile. Reinstalling jerboa fixed it. Are you using the store version or pulling straight from GitHub with obtanium? I was doing the latter.
I think the specialized tools thing leaves a lot of room for interpretation. For instance, Nintendo consoles likes to use triwing screws. A triwing screwdriver is a standard tool technically, but they aren't found at most hardware stores. I could see the argument that a triwing screw would not comply.
There are plenty of options for waterproofing removable batteries. They just tend to be large.
Looks like it was to give independence to the French African states.
When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the "right wing extremist" tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.
They already bought airpods, I don't think price vs quality is a part of their thought process.
I use batch renaming all the time, very little of it for programming. Media management, and general file organization are my most common uses. But there are plenty of third party free programs that let windows do this without the need for running python scripts.
The media creator runs perfectly in wine. But isos are easy to find as well.
I know you said not ms, but I still use a 360 controller with the wireless adapter. You can get them with an off brand adapter for 30 bucks all in on ebay since they are so old at this point. Best controller feel imo.
Go to one of the many stores in the airport and buy better headphones
Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.
