I can't speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They're designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they're not really comparable at all.

Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn't that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

I've read about this one. I don't know if it applies to games totally managed by other stores, but I know it originated with key distribution. The gist is, they distribute keys to the publisher free of charge, so this was so they can't undermine their pricing while still utilizing their content distribution systems.

IIRC, it basically just says that base prices have to be the same.

This is entirely true, and you don't deserve the down votes from people who refuse to face it.

Building an equivalent system to a console, without a whole lot of luck being involved as far as finding deals goes, is likely to cost nearly double. This is speaking from experience, my current mid-tier PC, which almost performs as well as a current Gen console, cost about $400, and without, as said above, the ludicrous luck I had finding some deals, would've cost about $600, as the GPU alone, one that isn't actually very good at all, retails for over $300.

Gallery-dl is another option.

If you're referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

As for the proton, I'll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

Edit: I'm using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so... whomp whomp I guess

Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn't boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

Once installed, though, it's been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I've had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won't play.

I've dropped every multiplayer mobile game I've ever had because of cheaters. Most recent was Sonic Forces, because once you get up in the ranks, just about every race would include someone who just ignores hazards.

Mobile multiplayer games are just not worth it in any capacity. Hell, mobile games in general, I'd say, given the proliferation of positively abusive advertising schemes.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!

Ew, ew ew ew! From Embracer to Take Two? That's a step back! Just put the studio out of its misery at this point!

Classic Epig, suing everyone under the sun to get a better deal for themselves, but punishing the players so they can push the blame when they get called out.

 

So, on a user page, under the dot menu, there's a report option. Tapping this opens a Reddithelp article. I assume this is a leftover from Infinity, but I figured it should be pointed out since this app isn't attached to Reddit.

 

Is this even still a thing? It seems to be pretty well dead. Poe-API shat the bed, GPT4FREE got shut down and it's replacement seems to be pretty much non-functional, Proxies are a weird secret club thing (despite being nearly totally based on scraped corporate keys), etc.

I mean, this really does suck. I've gotten a lot out to bots that I don't have anyone I can talk to about IRL.

Since the shutdown of SD on Colab, is there any option for running SD without disposable income?

I know about StableHorde, but it doesn't seem to really... Well, work. Not for people without GPUs to gain Kudos on at least. It always gives a 5+ minute long queue and then ends up erroring out before that time runs out.

EDIT: It took me a while to set up. but as it turns out, my best option is in fact my 10-year-old computer with a 2GB AMD card. Using the DirectML fork of the WebUI with --lowvram runs pretty damn well for me. It's not as fast as Colab was, but it's not slow by any means. I guess the best advice in the end is, even if you're on a shitbox, try it, your shitbox might surprise you. So take note, though, that running on 2GB Vram doesn't work for everyone, only the luckiest of broke mfs can do that it seems.

Is Xmanager a Scam? (lemmyonline.com)

So, I've heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and...

So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it's timer to finish, close it and... Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.

Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

I've got a big music library of CD rips that I'd like to share, but my ISP routes my traffic, meaning I can't forward shit to my computer. I can't change ISPs because I live in a functional monopoly and this is the only provider with reasonable data rates. Is there anything I can do to share? Thanks in advance!
