I’ll buy another Ubisoft game when they get rid of microtransactions, pre orders of multiple different collector’s editions and all the other anti-consumer monetization schemes. So, right after hell has frozen over.

I had the no audio issue once. It “fixed” itself after I shut down my deck, connected it via a different dock I have lying around from my switch, rebooted and switched over to the original dock again.

Don’t ask me why, I guess somewhere something “remembered” a wrong audio setting or something and was forced to reset with the other dock.

Or it might be I had a cable not properly set and got it right when plugging back in.

I also frequently have an issue where I get no signal at all to the TV when waking up the deck, and that’s usually only fixed by rebooting the deck. Which I have to do blind or unplug it, because the deck knows it’s in TV mode, the TV just apparently doesn’t.

Also, yeah, I pretty much only play 2D / pixel art games docked. It’s not powerful enough to output a good looking picture to a big TV screen.

What baby? In game purchases? That’s not a baby, that’s a big shit somebody took in your tub. If transparency is too hard to implement, publishers should feel free to get rid of them altogether.

“Specific use cases” here seems to be “has a Nvidia GPU”

My 1080 Ti was plug&play in Mint …

Baldur’s Gate 2. There’s no game I’ve played through more often. BG3 is a very fun successor, but Larian’s writing can’t hold a candle to classic Bioware.

Can’t be late if it doesn’t arrive at all.

Mine used to say “can you make the picture on my screen go away?”. The “picture” was always a pop up with very clearly written instructions or questions like “would you like to save before closing?”.

So they actually, provably, lost the ability to recognize writing.

That reminds me, a customer at a place I was working front desk for once managed to shove their money into a small gap between the cash slot and the outer case of a vending machine. I’m talking paper money and it was completely gone, so they really had to work to achieve this. Of course they got mad at me for being unable to open the case or get a technician to do it on a Sunday morning.

show me what you were doing

Nothing! I did nothing! Things just happened!

My mother once threatened to evict me (was still living with them) because I asked her to back up her important files for me to carry them over to the new office computer I had set up for her.

She flat out refused to even attempt it or answer any of my investigative questions. This woman had been using windows computers for work for over 20 years at this point, but the thought of opening an explorer window apparently terrified her so much we got into an actual shouting match over it.

Not even the lemmy instance you’re on needs a license to your content, and it is stored there and displayed for the world to see. Why is that? Because storing and displaying your posts is the very thing you want it to do. That is the service it is providing for you, and you declare that you want it to do that by clicking “send”. They would need a license if they wanted to do anything else with your stuff, which doesn’t directly have to do with displaying your posts in the fediverse.

The browser is supposed to take my requests and inputs, carry them to the server that I’m talking to and bring back the answer. The mail doesn’t need a license to my letters. That only changes if they want to open them and do something I originally had not intended.

But you know who claims a license to your content? Meta. Because you’re the product there, not the costumer.

And let’s remember that the last thing Mozilla got heat for was the introduction of a method to anonymize bulk user data for sharing & selling purposes, as opposed in addition to the granular, extremely invasive tracking that 99% of websites are doing these days.

Ftfy. It’s never going to replace more invasive tracking and just constitutes yet another party collecting my data.

I see a company that needs to make a decent amount of money

Mozilla already makes enough money from passive investment income. They don’t need to make any money from Firefox at all (but they do, it’s from google). They also don’t need to pay their CEO 6 Million a year.

Edit: Typo

2%

It’s called inflation.

Then how about putting that in the language? “We don’t sell your data, except if you’re in California, because they consider x, y and z things we might actually do as selling data.”

The browser manufacturer doesn’t need a license to my inputs to process them and give them to the server it’s supposed to give them to. If you type a text in Libre office, does it ask you for a license to the text in order to save it?

I switched to waterfox. Looks pretty much the same, no issues so far.

Switched yesterday, feeling right at home so far.

Which jurisdictions? What kind of broad way? Give one example please. I dare you.

Firefox is in the process of enshittifying.

Thank you for doing this. I particularly like the GOG part as I usually prefer to buy from them. Most of the Linux gaming advice and news out there is catered to the majority of 100% steam users though.

So, let me get this right, there’s been a shit storm about… A slightly different haircut?? They couldn’t even find a boob or butt that looks smaller than before?
