anti-DRM policy

What anti-DRM policy? They included DRM into their own game, what kind of policy is that?

“I have a strict, non negotiable anti-beer policy! Except every weekend when I drink a 12 pack! And sometimes in social events! And at night to take the edge off! Sometimes on Wednesdays too!”

Did I ever claim Steam is a “strongly DRM free platform”? Did Steam ever sell itself as the non evil alternative due to a quoted “lack of DRM?”

If you’re trying to follow my argument, you’re not doing a good job.

strong DRM stance

They have allowed content protected by DRM into their store four times already, which is not surprising, given GOG is owned by CD Projekt Red who included DRM into their own DLC for Cyberpunk, including on GOG. That’s not “strong” in any sense of the word.

So in other words, they sell you the “feel good” anti-DRM narrative but quickly look the other way when it’s good for business. At that point, might as well purchase on Steam, where DRM is common but optional and Valve actually cares about making the games platform-agnostic, easy to backup, easy to share, etc.

EDIT: cool downvotes, doesn’t change the fact that GOG provides software protected by DRM on their “strongly anti-DRM platform”. There is no amount of downvotes in this world that can change this reality.

The N64 is got objectively better graphics - being able to do perspective correction, having actual awareness of the fact that 3D objects have depth (z-buffer) and floating point precision. It’s just extremely harmed by the low storage of the cartridges.

The PS1 can barely do 3D, being forced to calculate polygons but having no idea what to do with them, with warping geometry and textures deeply distorted.

Even though the myth is quite prevalent, the red and white color scheme for Santa is not related to Coca-Cola.

A massive amount of this world’s plastic waste is related to Coca-Cola, though.

I use it as a “laptop” a lot, using a case with a stand and Logitech’s mini Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I like it.

Cats and kidney disease is a combination that unfortunately is way too common. I’m happy to hear he had a loving caring owner and lived many years, sorry to hear about his passing but I’m sure he had a great life.

I like sharing this little nugget recipe around just because it’s very cheap, and healthy for children, pets and to be fair us adults too, I like nuggets haha.

Cooked chicken breasts with a little bit of egg whites on a food processor or blender (use water if needed) will result in a paste that can be nugget-shaped and cooked.

Muuuuuch healthier for your cats, and for you too. For the cat, include some source of fat to make it more appealing.

2 completely different things that have the same name.

That’s how grouping works, yes. You and I are clearly different, yet we are both called “human”. In fact, you and a giant panda are both “mammals” despite being radically different.

I’m not the one who decided to create a post in a science fiction community claiming a huge portion of science fiction isn’t “true science fiction” based on my own tastes.

Of course the point is semantic, do you want me to base it on what? Your favorite novels?

They’re indeed very different… yet both are science fiction.

There’s a difference between tech geeks and tech bros.

The tech bro is selling you NFT web 3.0 AR experiences, the tech geek might be learning Docker to self host a Lemmy instance, not because he needs to, but because it’s fun.

Both have always existed: one was selling you some horrendous domain during the .com bubble, a plot of land on Second Life or even a perfect marriage based on a secret algorithm running on his Commodore 64, the other was busy playing muds and learning how to make free calls by ringing weird tones into a public telephone.

Sometimes you want to read something that blows your mind and innovates at the edge of philosophy.

Sometimes you want to turn your mind off and be entertained with interesting but predictable stories in interesting futuristic settings.

Both are equally valid experiences, both have merit, and both can equally be science fiction. You don’t get to gatekeep and entire genre based on what portion of the experience appeals to you.

You’re very optimist if you expect ketchup to have any hint of tomatoes if regulations didn’t exist.

It would be tap water, sugar and red food colouring.

We know they do, actually.

All US companies provide the NSA with backdoors. All modern AMD and Intel CPUs have the ability to run remote code signed by their manufacturer and snoop into memory.

Put the two things together and now you know.

Double check if Secure Boot is disabled, xone and xpadneo have known issues with secure boot.

Bluetooth controllers actually do behave weirdly on the Deck, the polling rate is sub optimal. You can modify certain system files to help, but you’d have to reset the setting after every update.

But for audio, it’s mostly fine. I really do not have issues using this phone to Deck setup. You could consider a full system reset if it’s that bad on your end, it’s supposed to work well.

I believe you might want to double check your phone and/or headphones. Or even the Deck itself.

I use it daily and apart from the expected latency, the audio is great with no flaws. No interruptions or jank.

Bluetooth 4.0 is capable of handling around 8 connections simultaneously

That’s a loophole that can be used indeed, but keep in mind zero calorie products actually do exist. As in, they have zero calories at all.

Frequently these artificial juice packets are truly zero calories because they can be made with a simple acid, some food coloring and an artificial sweetener that can’t be absorbed or digested by your body.

Such a product does have calories in the physical sense (you could combust them) but they have zero calories from a physiological sense.

To be fair, cheating on a MMO is very different from cheating on a precision FPS game.

If you do pixel perfect inputs on a MMO it barely matters. If you do pixel perfect inputs on a FPS you can win an international tournament.
