Lets hope this goes somewhere. EU is punching well when it comes to putting a stop to rampant monopolisation, greed, and deceptive conduct of tech snd digital companies.

I don’t do early access, but looking forward to the full release to give this one a go
There’s no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don’t let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.
No, just running a game through steam link to the headset. Adrenalin looks to run it’s own settings over the top of the application, thinking it’s improving things because it knows the monitor specs, however it doesn’t seem to account for the parameters when you are using something like steam link to stream to an external display device.
Ahhh ok, that makes sense, thanks!
Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn’t ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?
Been waiting for full release before trying this out. Fingers crossed the campaign is fun and well fleshed out.
A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
Yeh, tried ALVR but ran into to many issues to troubleshoot that I just gave up. Figured it might only be a few months wait until Steam sorted something out, give how much effort they have been giving to improving the linux gaming experience.
Exciting. Hopefully Steamlink for Quest on Linuz might be working soon.
Having to install a dual boot to windows again after many years has been such a horrible experience. Modern windows is now just openly hostile to the user, fighting you every step of the way, telling you it knows best and “if you would just submit to it, this whole experience would be better for all of us”. Like some nightmare monster created by combining an NSA agent, a control-freak abusive ex, and power hungry dictator, all rolled into one operating system…
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
My theory is that it’s just the fact that there is always a new generation of people around the corner who haven’t learned the lesson of how capitalists work. Therefore, there is always a market vulnerable to being swindled. They can keep using the same tactics, there’s always a delay in people figuring out the grift, then by the time they do there’s a new group of suckers ready to fall for it.
It’s taken longer than I expected, but more and more people are realising streaming services as a model are not good, by any measure.
They cost more in the long run, you are made powerless as a consumer (perpetually increasing costs and removing your favourite content), and you can’t even get ‘everything at the convenience of your fingertips’ cause the market is fragmented and they remove things periodically. You own nothing and pay more. Absolutely stupid model that deserves to die.
I tend to avoid using it at all. It usually ends up damaging your own party more than the enemy.
Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.
Tell me about it, it’s way to cold for chrissy! 30 - 35 degree chrissy with some beach and bbq are the best.
Walled-gardens are fundamentally bad for communication. Discord is not a solution, it’s a problem.
