Yeah, totally different vibe here on Lemmy I’m happy to say. There are helpful people on Reddit too of course just few and far between depending on the sub.

Reddit is shit now. PCMR is just memes and weird Linux vs Windows rivalry, Piracy sub is just memes and moral grandstanding, most gaming subs are just bots posting “news” articles, AIO/AITAH are just karma farming for people selling accounts or fanfic quality fantasies, many Linux subs are either insufferably elitist, have a weird fetish for distro-hopping or are just circlejerks (looking at you r/linuxmint).

The only thing it’s still good for is niche interests which I doubt will remain the case for long.

So they ban that IP or range of IPs and the offender moves to a different IP in a matter of seconds meanwhile the people still trying to legitimately access the site from that original IP can get fucked. Doesn’t seem like it solves anything much to me.

Do you have a VPN? I can access it from Mullvad Dublin but get the Forbidden message with Mullvad Amsterdam.

They still exist because Google isn’t really a technology company anymore. It’s an advertising company masquerading as a technology company. Their success depends on selling more ads which is why all the failed projects don’t seem to make a difference.

Well no shit, that’s pretty much every ruler/ruling class in history.

Buying a game on Steam gets you the same perpetual license for your copy of the game as it does on GoG (the same as any software). The difference is Steam’s DRM (requiring the Steam Client to run the game). AFAIK Steam have said in the past that they have a plan to remove it if Steam shuts down.

Here’s a video that lays it out in detail as to what game ownership means amongst other things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw.

The big question about all this stuff is how far companies (both game and non-game software) can push their “you don’t own your software” agenda before facing a significant legal challenge and what the outcome of that legal challenge will be.

a majority of us DID choose him

77m voted for Trump which is 32% of the voting age population.

As a percentage of the overall population it is ~23%.

Just the breadcrumbs to go! lmao

Now that’s a shit post.

Can’t wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.

He’s also a thief of course, as that’s the only way to become a billionaire.

home despot

This is the perfect typo for this post lol

Spot on lmao

Actually, I think the most common phrase conveying this is “it’s like talking to a brick wall”. The hardest thing here is including both inability and active choice.

Inarticulate?

I looked into ready made NAS machines but wasn’t sold on the software that came with them. Ended up building a small PC and installing OpenMediaVault on it which I have been super happy with.

Depending on how many HDD bays you need you can just buy a refurbished office Dell or HP and it’ll do the job more than adequately.

I pronounce it AUR btw.

(In all seriousness I pronounce it like Aura without the 2nd A)
