That's refreshing to have some good news with no catch for once.

Also it's like every month Louis talks 5% faster or something, I hope he's alright and his vocal chords aren't going to become a fast-forwarding VHS tape eventually.

Not even enticing people with "free premium currency" just for logging in could entice me to play an Ubisoft shooter.

I can already tell Walz is prepping for it like a football playbook. Thing is he knows most of Vance's moves and his history, if Walz wanted to appeal to Trumpers he can always just put out the fact he was against Trump but just became a silicon valley billionaire-funded sock puppet to get the position within the MAGA party.

Uh. Can you explain why? What does disqualifying from being beautiful mean, who is the judge of that?

This is like the time Joe Biden said "you ain't black" if you're not sure whether Trump is for you, though his comment was tongue-in-cheek and yours I'm not so sure. One doesn't "disqualify" themselves of being a certain physical characteristic just because they believe something else.

Yeah seems legit, "party of family values" - let's rent some women for your photoshoot. I wonder if they consulted Mike Pence's binders to find them.

We need stickers that say "ad paid for by Uber/Lyft instead of paying drivers and tax" to slap on these signs.

Can someone over in Ontario, Canada please show this video to Doug Ford? Thanks.

Your use of Liberation Serif will not go unnoticed.

I can't deny that Steam has a large marketshare over the digital video game distribution market, and that it could abuse its position, and that the 30% distributor cut is steep. All true. Is it currently abusing its position? Arguably yes and no.

Looking through the evidence document provided in the video, the alleged link between decreased % of multihoming indicating the enforcement of a PMFN is weak IMO. Steam's support for Linux, its own Steam Deck, good customer service, return policy, family sharing and remote play are major reasons to be a Valve patron, not always about price.

The evidence at 9:05 in the video that suggests Valve says they "stop selling them altogether" was in response to a Steam Key inquiry. The other quotes were related to removing it from the front page and sales feature pages (not delisting but not there unless you search for it). That's not delisting but perhaps it is anti-competitively deranking it. I'm not sure what the rules are though, like a grocery store doesn't have to put a product at the front of a store when a rival has a steeper sale for it, but they could ask for the same discount while offering to make it similarly visible. Overall it's not nearly as serious as OOP makes it seem.

The 2 reasons you provide are actually why games that offer an offline mode functionality (more specifically that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet) are exempted from needing to follow this law.

I don't think this is a preemption of the SKG campaign but actually one of the realistic goals of that campaign. I don't think the ability to rent software for a limited time is an issue, but tricking people into thinking they can use something they purchased forever, to have it unilaterally taken away due to 3rd party licensing, decommissioning servers or other excuse is the problem.

That's amazing, I'm so happy for her. Hot pot is delicious.

I think this idea is good. I remember seeing those domain names last year. At the time it seemed muddy and uncomfortable to me, since there was a whole scheme of Reddit ghost accounts posting, while I understood there were good intentions behind it, mirrored posts were flooding users' All feed to the point I started blocking a bunch of subs, and many admins defederated.

If we can promote the community first approach where the domain is the space for discussion to be held and stored, with users connecting from across the Fediverse, this would be excellent, a good alternative to massive centralized Lemmy servers. Collective ownership would ensure preservation of content if one or more go offline.

 

People think vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is nice. But is he... too nice? From his dangerously folksy upbringing, to the National Guard, to teaching America's future enemies in China, Tim Walz's "nice" act isn't fooling anyone. This is the Dailyshowography of Tim Walz.

 

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

 

The edition is called: "Take The A Train 9 Version 5.0 Final Edition Complete Pack DX+"

Train Construction Pack Steam Page

Unfortunately, the ridiculously titled combo pack's Steam page appears to be region locked to Japan, the DVD version is also Japan/Japanese only.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.
