Oh wow, if steam is still 32 bit, forget the offshoots, fedora itself won’t be worth using. I’m on fedora but if I can’t run steam, then I’m finding a new distro.

On the flip side, what’s the reason they want to drop 32-bit support, given steam depends on it, which they should understand means it’s integral to the size of their current userbase?

Danish millennials and gen xers who work in retirement or old age support roles should change careers. And zers and alphas getting into it should consider hiatuses.

One… glances to the side hundred… more furtive glances billion… number two giving thumbs up and nodding dollars!

To take this in a different direction, legal or not (considering the “higher power” generally gets to define what is and isn’t legal and might do so for its own benefit rather than in the best interest of everyone, if there even is such a thing), how can it be determined if a subset of a power structure breaking away from that power structure is a good thing or bad thing? What arguments other than “we’ll use force” are there to support a region needing to remain under the thumb of a power they no longer wish to serve?

Feels kinda like a game of crusader kings iii where you’ve gained some territory but worry that your opponent’s allies might send a large army at any time, plus your vassals are rumbling about revolt, so you want to get that war finished asap but don’t have enough of an advantage to force them to accept your terms.

Except it’s OK when it’s crusader kings because that’s just a fucking video game and people aren’t really dying on both sides for your ego or power hungry imperial bullshit.

It was naïve to believe they’d honour a delete in the first place. Maybe early reddit did, but it would have quickly become apparent that the deleted comments tend to be more interesting ones, so they could hold on to that more interesting data by just setting a “deleted” flag in the db, or maybe moving deleted comments to a different table for optimization reasons.

Same thing with edits. Instead of replacing the old comment with the edited one, just have the edited one be a new comment while the old one is just hidden now.

Can’t say I’m surprised that try undid all of that when the intent was to lower reddit’s value by removing helpful comments. It wouldn’t surprise me if they stop even pretending to go along with edits and deletions. It’s out of your hands now and always was from the moment the comment was made.

Same thing with lemmy btw, though through a different mechanism: federation. Anyone can clone all of your activity by just creating a federated instance running custom code that handles deletions and edits differently. I’d be very surprised if no one is already doing this. Federation makes censorship and community control harder but the cost is privacy and control of your own content. The fediverse won’t sell out to AI trainers because those entities can just grab the data for free. If there’s something you don’t want known, the only way to do it is to not post it in the first place. Trying to delete or edit it will probably just mark it as more likely to be interesting.

Is there a good resource that lists all games known to require a specific version rather than being fine with the latest? I don’t really have the patience to check each game these days, so a list to skim would be nice.

Yeah, when I made the switch, I checked a bunch of the games I played the most for steam deck compatibility and thought I had to give up on some of them, only to find that they were still fine because my desktop is much more powerful than the steam deck. Plus it has a keyboard; if a game requires a keyboard, it hurts the steam deck compatability score (how much depends on if it’s required for playing the game at all or just needed every now and then to enter some text).

So treat “steam deck supported” as “works on linux” and “steam deck unsupported” as “maybe works on linux”.

I think the better indicator of not supported at all on Linux is the “3rd party kernel anticheat” marker in the store, though I tend to avoid games with that anyways, so I can’t really say for sure.

With the 9/11 reference above, it had a similar effect on airport security. The TSA has been making traveling hell ever since and I’m not sure if they’ve actually stopped any real threats (cursory search says nope).

I’m going to be flying from Canada to Canada later this year and want to make sure the flight path stays inside our airspace.

Valve existed at that point, too.

And every year, sand takes the trophy.

Do they need consent from the owner of the house or home? If it’s a rental, the landlord owns the house but it’s the tenant’s home.

Though it’s always kinda messy turning a human-made rule or idea into a physical law.

Though it makes me wonder why they don’t use actual wings to maintain control over the boat when it goes too far out of the water. Why isn’t the ideal basically a plane that has a propeller sticking down into the water?

Even with civilisation or society, there’s always been a subset of people looking to exploit whatever facet of existence they can, whether it be religion, politics, crimes of opportunity, weaknesses in social systems, or even the justice systems that are supposedly meant to deal with those flaws.

And to add even more complexity, other people who aren’t pieces of shit looking to exploit others form emotional attachments to those who are and are fooled by their lies and will defend them. Others don’t have attachments but see parallels to themselves and worry that attempts to deal with the problematic ones will result in the same treatment being applied to them (and aren’t necessarily wrong because even justice trying to act in good faith can get it wrong).

It’s all a complex web of power struggles and religion is just one set of stands.

Tesla and DJT have lost similar amounts in the last month.

Even if the original question was asked in bad faith (not that I think this was the case here, but to address what you’re implying with this comment), responding with “go look it up elsewhere” doesn’t negate its effect for anyone reading. I believe it plays into those bad faith hands because it looks like you don’t want the question answered here to anyone already suspicious of the situation.

Which is kinda funny because I’ve recently started getting my old files off of burnt CDs older than that and was surprised to find that (so far) there haven’t been any noticeable degradation issues.

The pressed discs are supposed to be longer lasting than burned discs but evidently WB just went really cheap with their discs. Kinda makes me wonder if they didn’t just cheap out but deliberately did this to fuel a future format upgrade cycle or drive people to streaming even after purchasing their movies legally.

Though at least they didn’t make them install rootkits to try to prevent any disc ripping, whether it was related to piracy or not.

The problem with imperialists is that they might say they are happy with whatever the current concession is on the table today but will still want to expand their power beyond whatever limits it currently has tomorrow.

The avatar bit is kinda funny because, if anything, between Ang and Korra, I (male) find Korra more relatable. Their ages had a bigger impact on that than their genders.
