Form over function. They probably have aspirations of getting VC funding and for that you need to look like every other web app.

Thank you both for telling me the answers to your security questions.

I generally do not trust manfucturer preinstalled OS.

Especially pertinent for Lenovo.

What if you symlink the SD card steamapps directory (since its unmounted the mount pount will just be a regular directory on the root filesystem) to your internal storage steamapps directory?

“Cloud storage” in the North is just a drawer full of usb sticks confiscated from people smuggling K-dramas in from the South.

You get incremental backups (snapshots) by using

--link-dest=DIR         hardlink to files in DIR when unchanged

To use this you pass in the previous snapshot location as DIR and use a new destination directory for the current snapshot. This creates hard links in the new snapshot to the files which were unchanged from the previous snapshot, so only the new files are transferred, and there is no duplication of data on disk (for whole-file matches).

This does of course require that all of the snapshots exist in the same filesystem, since you cannot hard-link across filesystems.

I checked your Mastodon timeline but I don’t see the post, only the one where you relate the story.

Yes the volunteer software authors should work to the beat of the drum of the baying and braying users who insist on using cutting edge software before its wider ecosystem has adapted to its novelties. A very good point.

It really is a shame that they force you to update to the new version. If only there was some way to continue using the existing Gnome version until the extensions have been updated by their authors.

better luck next time

We’ll relaunch crowdfunding with a functional prototype. We’re also in talks with investors who respect our values.

I haven’t seen this youtuber’s videos before. Do they normally drop 40 minutes of spoilers for a game that came out just 6 months ago? I thought this was going to be a review and it turned into a walkthrough less than 10 minutes in.

There are multiplayer games from 30 years ago that still have 30 people who play on the first Friday night of each month, and they will put that in their calendar and keep the game alive.

The idea that multiplayer games need huge communities of players otherwise they are “dead” is what is killing multiplayer games.
