1. Content that you cannot acquire by any "lawful" means.
2. Content that you already own a copy of (Yes, this includes "only" having a "license" to it; you own what you own).
3. Content that is outrageously priced, and/or from large companies where the people who worked on the product will receive nothing from sold copies. (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, etc)

All this says is that large game studios don't see anything but money.

Game development should be about making the best product you can. It isn't about getting paid 200 million for "development" costs.

Indies know this, and large game companies are A F R A I D. So when someone makes a product that's good, and it threatens their model of minimal effort/maximum profit, they start making hitpieces like this.

Customers do not decide what games you make. Quit game development if you think we set the bar.

Customers choose the best product for their time, and I'm sorry, if that's Baldur's Gate 3 tier standards, and you can't as an AAA studio with 10000 employees make as good of a product, that's on your lack of skill. Stop crying, git gud.

Do you ...

1. Admit your own military factory blew up due to a fuckup/enemy sabotage.
2. Or lie that it was actually something else to save face, like Russia has done for centuries?

1. USB headphones require new drivers constantly.
2. USB headphones are likely to use proprietary apps for basic features like noise cancellation.
3. Audio jacks use significantly less power/processing compared to USB.
4. Audio jacks do not hog usb bus lanes, which may or may not be an issue for mobile, but on PC it is.
5. USB headphones are in general significantly lower quality, because studio equipment uses 3.5mm or other standard jacks (XLR for microphones for example) as they cause the lowest interference.
6. USB introduces overhead latency which is a no-go for production use.

Imo this is why big projects that are borderline like this should use github alternatives, preferably self hosted solutions. This was always going to happen.

I wash mine when it starts growing mold. So anywhere from every 3 years to every 6 years.

You are mostly your brain, which extends to the rest of your body.

The thing about OOB cases is that the human brain is really good at faking information, or just generating it out of thin air.

In fact it never stops doing that, unless it is allowed to completely die.

If a person is resurrected, the brain generates "filler" information for the duration you were "out".

For some, that is seeing an "afterlife".

There is no universally specified "afterlife", it's based entirely on culture, and what the person has grown to believe in, even if they don't believe it anymore.

Pixel as a phone is good.

Google bad.

But it's not like other brands are any bit more ethical/pro-consumer.

So buying second-hand is always a goos option.

Probably just no more actually talented people where they were needed. Be it anything from devs to board of directors.

This. Unlike ReVanced that requires a bunch of hacks* to work, Newpipe is easy to simply download and install.

Has all the features premium youtube has, and unlike Vanced, it uses Youtube's API to serve the content, which means Google can't shut them down (They tried, and lost the case).

Because Newpipe simply doesn't use the advertisement API, you'll never* see ads in Newpipe.

HOWEVER. Please keep in mind Newpipe is currently in spaghetti code form, and that means fixing a bug causes more to appear. They're working on a complete rewrite, aka Newpipe 2, but it'll take a while. In the meantime, you may encounter some issues if you're on the road for example.

I've had Newpipe shit itself almost always while biking, due to constant mobile connection tower changes. For those errors you need to open the app up again, and press play. It unfortunately doesn't respond to bluetooth play/stop signals in that state.

Owned, unless you have proof they still do.

Edit: Looked it up a bit, the shares are 70% Sven and wife, 30% Tencent. Honestly not too bad considering at the time those shares were sold, Larian was almost bankrupt.

Chances are MS is still tracking you via TPM and/or hw/peripherals.

I can't not register Windows 11, because despite everything I try to erase my hardware footprint, it still ties it to my digital license.

This goes as far as upgrading every single piece of hardware on my PC, and using an entirely different ISP.

And no. I don't use any Microsoft services on Win 11. I don't use Internet in any capacity when installing. Nor do I use any cd keys for Windows.

Everything the installer asks me, I answer "No." to.

This should honestly be a huge privacy concern but alas.

Minäpä venyttelin selkääni yksi päivä, CIA soitti ja kyseli haluaisinko Amerikan Presidentiksi kun noin ryhdissä olin.

I was thinking it's only spam servers, but it might actually just be downtime for hetzner or something.

Instances do not get banned on lemmy. You can run any kind of an instance.

That said, part of this could be providers pruning "fake customers", aka spammers, scammers, etc, who "paid" for their servers with stolen CC and SSN.

Edit: Someone up to making an uptime map for Lemmy, placing servers on a map based on where they report originating at? This could help seeing if a specific datacenter has downtime.

It's more so lucky that there was someone diligently doing that. It could've easily gone unnoticed had there not been someone like him.

Tässä on nyt kyllä semmoinen juttu että suurin osa ihmisistä keskittyy pelkästään API muutoksiin. Tämä vaikuttaa vain ja ainoastaan kolmannen osapuolen sovelluksiin, ja moderaattorien elämän vaikeuttamiseen.

Se mikä tulee tuhoamaan Redditin on toinen muutos minkä kaikki tuntuu unohtaneen. Se mikä tappoi myös Tumblr sivuston.

Reddit aikoo estää NSFW subreddittien katsomisen ilman käyttäjätiliä. Se missä API muutokset vaikuttavat max. 20% käyttäjistä, NSFW muutos tulee vaikuttamaan yli 90% käyttäjistä.

Jos 5% ihmisistä käyttävät päätiliään selatakseen /r/tits, ja 90% tekee sen ilman tiliä, 5% vaivautuu tekemään NSFW tilin erikseen. Huomattanette mihin tuo muutos johtaa.

Prosentit on revitty perseestä, ja tilastoja ei ole, lähde on "trust me bro". En kuitenkaan näe Redditille tulevaisuutta.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like big fat ol' snake oil.

As in it sounds cool on paper, but in reality it's useless.

Yes, Vortex is awful. Wanna download a 100 mod collection without shilling money to Nexus, which they sure as fuck won't give to mod creators?

Lmao you better like clicking 300 times to finish those downloads, oh and the fucking buttons keep moving to combat "automation software".

Aka the spoiled brats.

Flashing Samsung phones nowadays breaks the "seal", which means some applications stop working, and the camera gets botched because it requires the native samsung app + "intact" phone. There's currently no way to undo that.
