Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.

It only matters if people are educated enough to understand why it’s important.

There are widely available options as it is. The majority of people don’t care at best. And get offended at the notion of using them at worst.

Idk. I built my first computer at 6 and ran an irc server for my class mates back in middle school. And I’m sure not many people would have done that back then either.

Im sure there’s plenty of curious and tech inclined kids these days. They just aren’t the majority. But we weren’t back then either.

why do investments from large companies matter?

Because we are talking about a large company de investing from something.

It’s kinda the topic we are talking about.

Is Lemmy dead?

I mean. Yeah ? Can you imagine any large companies investing in this in any way? I sure can’t.

I don’t see how what they said was contradictory. VR gaming is indeed dead. And Linux gaming with 5 times less users is also even more dead.

There’s a reason why game devs completely ignore Linux as a platform.

Passkeys are basically passwords that you don’t send to the server. So they are safer against phishing.

Basically the server has a message. They will scramble it with your public key. And send it to you. Your private key unscrambles the message and then you send the message back to them. So if they receive the original message back. They know you are you. And they never got their hands on your private key at any point. It’s awesome.

2fa is an entirely different thing. And I do wish it was more standard how it works. Some places if you lose it you lose your account (bitwarden). Others you don’t (protonmail).

Everyone should use passkeys. 2fa you have to decide if your case warrants it.

Edit: example of passkeys:

Step 1: they have the message “cat”

Step 2: they encrypt it with your public key and it becomes “acm”

Step 3: they send you the encrypted message “acm”

Step 4: you decrypt the message “acm” into “cat” with your private key.

Step 5: you send them back the message “cat”

Only your private key would be able to decrypt something encrypted with your public key. So they now know you are you. And they never got a hand on your private key. It’s the same as a password except you never send it directly to the server.

Depends on the license I suppose.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

The first mistake was liking a company.

Were you using Firefox? On my phone, FF browser takes ~5% battery per hour,

Mine drains about 6% per hour, it’s absolutely unsustainable. Just uninstalled firefox, let’s see. I regret getting it so much (pixel 7) lol.

edit. wasnt it, what a piece of shit this phone is.

DRM is never good for the end user.

As a necessary addendum to the comment above: I bought the game 2014 and back then I was thinking to myself: ok. I’ve waited enough. It surely is releasing either later this year or even if they delay it. 2015 at the latest.

If you do decide to buy it. Expect year-long delays for anything they say might be coming out.

Oh SQ42 is in polishing? They have claimed it was done back in 2014.

Google the history of xmpp. This is exactly the same.

It’s not a good thing.

I hope steam is broken up. Monopolies and DRM are never in the users favor.

the recipe may be visible to all, but the chef’s expertise in crafting and adapting the dish, as well as the dining experience provided, is what customers pay for.

I mean, you cant ctrl+c ctrl+v the dish. That’s the difference. If anyone could ctrl+c ctrl+v meals I think most restaurants would go bankrupt. Right?

When software is open-source and monetized, it strikes a critical balance. Users gain the freedoms associated with FOSS – the liberty to run, modify, and share – while developers receive the financial recognition for their contributions.

I never understood how these two concepts can coexist.

Lets say you made something FOSS and sold it to one person. Can’t that person just… redistribute it for free? Which kinda makes you trying to make a living out of selling it much much more difficult or downright impossible?

Destiny

When I first played I had a wiki open on my second monitor for about the first month I was playing.

Love the game. One of my favorites. And the artwork and music are second to none.

It definitely has the worst onboarding experience ever though.

BG3

It does have deep systems. But you can just pick what feels right to you and the game will accommodate you.

It’s a masterpiece.
