Amazon provides ad and marketing services, hosting, support, and more importantly, logistics.
Yes, but if its not sold on Amazon, they don’t do these logistics.
Games sold outside of Steam have no access to Steam features
And steam allows that too. Their only problem is with distributing the steam keys yourself for less.
The act of reading is something only the fewest people can do, apparently
Thats the neat part: they can make weapons the same way I can theoretically make a bomb from enriched uranium in my backyard.
That is another situation
Amazon is a seller. Steam is (aside from selling) a service provider with their workshop, forum, etc
While it would be way better if those were all in a different tier for devs, so for example they can select to get less of a share for those features, what they are basically doing is sidestepping a provider
Or in the case of photography:
You go to a Photo shop and lend their camera equipment and services for free, but they take a 20% cut for every copy of that picture sold.
If you buy a picture, you can download it indefinitely and get some services like changing the color grading on the website. The photo shop hosts the picture for free and only makes a profit through selling licenses. The owner also has an option to get infinite licenses for these services for free.
What youre allowed to do is host the picture on your own, pay your own cloud provider, and sell the picture that way.
What youre not allowed to do is generate infinite licenses for free and sell them without ever paying the photo shop for their services, while still using them.
You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?
install windows Euro version
it dosent include direct sound
direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that
nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)
I should go to the „add or remove features”
type into searchbar, find it instantly
can’t find
apparently I’ve been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus
so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu
install
wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code
repeat until I go back to linux
What? There were so many ways to not download this, from using a certificate provided by telegram to… Well just downloading it from telegram directly.
This is not something that would need such drastic actions as blocking everything thats not from one authority, and even with that I’ll remind you that google as an authority has in no way better standards in many ways.
Also, feddit.UK, so show me your I’d.
So, they are adopting what Graphene had for a long time
standard security practice used everywhere from Linux distros to updates everywhere now a thing in biggest Mobile OS
The ones with the most servers can just fork the chain when something that they don’t like happens
Generally, zero trust means zero privacy: they can at any point just discriminate anyone
But now its everyone instead of those who have money, so yay I guess?
Crypto is only better because of the hosters.
Watch the Video Line go up by Folding ideas. Crypto is just as much controlled by the people having the means as the banks are
May be, if you have cancer and Burnout, you just shouldnt have cancer and Burnout
like Gen alpha and z
As a gen Z who started with Linux with 12, daily driven it since 14 and dipped into Gentoo and arch at 15, I feel offended
Afaik its only gonna be used for stuff like screen reading, which if you’ve ever tried an open source speech synthesis model, you’d know even an old lightweight LLM model is better than it.
I’d also argue that if you actually care about local llms, you can just set up ollama and use that.
Many say its really bad because they are complying with subpoeanas, but email itself is most often not encrypted anyway
But if youre using your acc for stuff that needs actual opsec, use something else
I personally prefer fastmail tho
Please tell me which
The only one I saw is Fedora, and that’s it. Even with something like Silver blue you can Live-apply the updates
Nice
Just like a month after Heroic games (Works on win too) did it already.
I am indeed a gamer. I also prefer My software to not stop me from gaming.
For example, 1/5 of my windows system is in Hungarian. This is a common problem when creating a windows iso. It is not possible to create one without leaving some trage of the last system behind. There is no fix to this.
Here’s a list of the rest:
Or in your words: It can’t game if I install Windows (See point 1). Aren’t you a gamer??? How can’t you game without games?
Or, to not kill the few remaining braincells of the people who still have some: I’d prefer to play 99% of my library without having an aneurism than 5 more games (like, fortnite, Arena Breakout Infinite, Tarkov (Delta force also, but that game is dead)
A lot of aftermarket chargers claim to support up to 120W etc.
That is called deceptive marketing.
Vapes are OK if you just want the nicotine gone, but its still a habit
Also you need to make an investment first since most cheapo options like dispo or elfa have 20mg nic salts
OK, I know English is hard, but you should at least know what alleged means.
This article describes allegedly that that is happening. The same way I can say that alledegly my guinea pig has just started to talk to me in perfect English. It means literally nothing until either lawsuit no. 4 suddenly finds this to be true (yes, there have been at least 2 before, all of them dismissed afaik) or out of nothing you find some clause saying this is true
Either that or Mii Mii lends you their hard drive.
