That’s the one lemmy did suggest: you can see yourself in the previde lemmy itself auto generate vere insidie the post.
I guess pcgamer sneak the clickbait title in the metà data so they can have clickbait whenever their article are shared, but don’t take full responsibility on their own very pages
Valve is “de facto” monopoly, bit the actual monopoly potential is in Microsoft hands. Microsoft is for PC gaming industry what Google is for the web browser one. Sure, there may be other cool web browsers, but it’s Google that (through Android base) decide whic web browser will be delivered with the next billions of Android mobile device: some elderly people on smartphone don’t even know what is a web browser (“oh, you mean when I Google? I don’t know: I just Google”).
All future new PC will be sold with Microsoft Store and Xbox junk ware: Microsoft has been exceptionally shitty for not being the actual monopoly in the PC gaming industry. But that’s a very feeble protection: break Valve business is just a mandatory “security update” away to happen. They can break Steam little by little (such as suggested by Tim Sweeney) or just a big blow by sheer monopolized manipulation (such as Google not allowing adblockers to chrome to feed their advertising business)
They fire the developer who says “2+2=4” and hire the one who says “2+2=5”… then the hired developer is absolutely free to say his/her “5” anytime they want until EA doesn’t roll a new formula. (they is fire&hire again)
The problem is that also… Apex Legends was fully linux/steam deck supported. When developers are insecure about their ability to provide protection against cheater… Linux is usually the first target so they can “show” they are resolute (in truth, insecure indeed) about anti-cheating.
Kernel level anticheat, is the foundation of insecurity by developers. An example of “non-insecure” developer is Valve: all their efforts against cheater are nearly kernellevel-less.
From the quote of Noja, switch the word “Russian” with trump, like this:
repeats what trump disinformation campaigns say, doesn’t understand why they’re banned… huh
and you get the identical quote of Amnesigenic…
Just because you don’t like the people saying it doesn’t make it misinformation
but from Maga.
1·30 days agoPicture this: it’s early 1900’ and you’re a opera singer or an actor for a Shakespeare’s play and you’re asked to give your opinion on Cinema… and someone theorize even TV to you.
I know what you’re going to say: these talentless people is coming to steal your job.
Cinema is not a recognized art form: is a gimmick, a trick made with a huge number of photos.
Those who want to call themselves “actors” are just talentless people who need “one right shot” and being patched in a sequence of “right shots” to complete a wanna-be play. But that not how you make are: every night, every play, you need to walk on stage, in front of the public and deliver “true” art.
Advice? If you were an actor for live theater in the beginning of the 1900… just shut up for a a pair of decades to make sure is not actually art: or you’re going to record in the history how much of a… uhm… short sighted person you were.
Humans make arts, humans decide what’s art… Usually this happen in the switch of the next generation of humans: everything can be a tool for art, future generations of humans decide if they want to call it art or not.
I would add
[]to the title, just to be sure
UK, France, Canada and Australia are all in the ICC: this mean both Hamas and Netanyahu are wanted criminals if any of these put feet on the ground of these nations.
Netanyahu would be reasonably safe in China, Russia, USA and Hungary tho.
Last week argument in the PR team: “do we middle finger to our possible paying customers or not?”
It was an heated discussion.
As some muslims in a muslim theocracy don’t think they are the only worthy to be saved: they go around saying they know they are.
Which is the universal annoying self-centered people who have no real nation, religion or actual belongship: they give a fuck about their flag/religion/social group only in the measure it serve their damaged, narcissistic, ego.
Soda Maker at home.
Any device that come with SteamOS by default, is a device that doesn’t come with both Windows and Xbox game store by default. Basically Valve isn’t paying for the OS, it’s paying for devices that run Steam Store by default (instead direct, unfair, competition from Microsoft)
Can Windows PC come by default with Steam Store? Of course… if Microsoft allow them to.
mini PC things.
…or PC things, but mini.

Nintendo: We are not going to do that.

One year ago, right at the beginning of the petition, PirateSoftware came out misreading the initiative by suggesting the idea the petition was about forcing indie developer to host their server, at their expense, forever and other stupid idea on this line. A fabricated these narrative to act as the typical popular youtubers that say endlessly: “this is st0pid, they are st0pid”. The fabricated narrative confused other popular YouTubers with mixed feelings; and there was very little support. This assured PirateSoftware the first place on the youtube rankings when you search for “stop killing games”, plus had lot of kids brainwashed into thinking " this is st0pid". This kind of criticism never went away completely, the were partially silenced by the very recent roaring as people understood correctly what it was actually about. As SKG keep hitting its milestone the angered roar did lowered, so now you can ear again the “this is st0pid” team

It’s not like Devs can afford to say “Hey, you! No, not you, the other one… hire me now!”
All monopolies come into being super user-positive: it’s the moment they need to make money that shit hits the fan.
Is: Google Chrome is an overly appreciate, open source, web browser… then they came to shut down ad blocker “we gotta got +80% web browser share, what are you gonna do about it?”
