But at a certain point, it’s still a cop out. And part of the trick. If you drown anyone in enough bullshit, you can’t expect it to all get called out – but that doesn’t mean it’s not all bullshit. It is divide and conquer in another form.
You also can’t do shit with their service, app and web, if you’re on a VPN. It just refuses. Even – and this may be illegal – unsubscribing from their emails.
This is the way
+1 for Pop. I fully expected to distro hop but have had it on my main rig for over a year now. Surprisingly pleasant.
Just to make sure it’s clear: not being Deck Verified doesn’t mean it won’t run on the Deck or on Linux in general. It means Valve has not hit their testing threshold for the title to mark it as verified or unsupported.
More specifically, it means Valve cannot guarantee a) the game will run (though anecdotally, I’ve had most if not all unverified games I tried work without issue), b) that the text is large enough to be readable on the Deck, or c) that the controls are usable (=you might have to just use the configurator yourself).
I think a danger Valve has introduced with the verification system is people thinking that not verified == no worky.
This result is predictable for a lot of different things that started as products and seem to be ending up as services.
Microsoft wants Windows to be a subscription service with the associated perks to the company (namely, targeted ads, and also extreme control over anything the system does, including this ad scheme), and so an increased number of people seek a more traditional OS.
The movie industry pushes streaming down everyone’s throat as a highly fragmented market where media ownership no longer exists; thus an increased number of people start to return to physical media.
Car companies push to paywall features of their cars behind subscription services. An increased number of people seek used cars which have no such paywalls.
The patterns are clear, in my view, but the C-suite is always driven by a naïve lust for ever-increasing profit.
And not to mention: the original versions actually run fine to this day. Pure money grab and they made the product(s) worse to do it.
Yeah some apps do, some don’t. Connect for Lemmy had it until the latest update
Meh.
It’s not designed for or good for VR gaming. As an AR device, I find it a bit silly since I can just look at a real screen. It would be a novelty at $100, but at the price Apple wants I kind of think of it like a joke.
My thoughts exactly. By this reasoning, Candy Crush Saga could get taken down for copying Bejeweled.
$3000 is way too much for a tarp stapled to the back of an overpriced pile of shit
I’m waiting for it to start using units of banana for all quantities of things
When did it die?
We paid for the development of the internet. We contributed the content. Now we watch the yacht owners take advantage of both because regulators are asleep at the wheel owned by corporations.
Streaming.
It’s the new cable, in that it sells to customers based on intentional market fragmentation. It’s actually a worse, because anything you “buy” on a streaming platform is actually just leased.
Yeah, maybe. Much more system overhead on Windows and the driver situation is different (AMD drivers are now just included in the Linux kernel).
As someone who regularly plays Arma 3 on a 6600 XT (and on Linux no less), I’m kind of scratching my head here.
Ugh
Love it
When will people stop supporting this clown?
Remember when some people were like “well, I don’t support him, but I’ve had this Twitter account forever, so I’m not leaving.” This is what happens. Things just get worse until you gain plausible deniability for continuing to support the bullshit.
