What is the actual evidence trump wants to end democracy? I’ve only seen an out of context clip so far

Switch controllers can be weird but that’s probably just because I always try to remap them to Xbox layout and certain games disagree

Makes it work universally, even if the gui isn’t made with a standard toolkit

Also it’s ai they don’t care about efficiency

The 1 person down voting does not have a sense of humour

I think torrenting someone else’s copy of a game is still illegal regardless of if you own a copy yourself

I’m talking purely ethically, I don’t consider it to be any different where I paid for the game originally if I can no longer access it via that platform

Pretty sure roms are only legal if you rip them yourself from your own console.

I don’t think it’s legal for people to distribute them but torrenting makes that an unwinnable game of wack a mole to shut down so they don’t bother usually

So far I’ve had one hard drive fail and lose a bunch of my work from long ago (before I knew to use git), have physically lost memory sticks to similar effect

On the other hand I’ve still got everything in my Dropbox that I worked on as a child, everything on my old web server was still there until I pulled it down and cancelled it, all the contacts on my phone I have ever made, and I’ve never lost a steam game

I get not wanting to put your faith in big companies and I don’t like the idea but so far they’ve proven far more reliable than I am in looking after my stuff

(I also tend not to keep anything sensitive in there and open source all my code nowadays anyway so leaks and ai training don’t bother me that much)

What about when that HDD gets lost or dies, then I need a backup.

Without an automated system will be unreliable and a pain in the ass to maintain

If it’s automated and not just a hard drive I shove games on every now and then it requires a machine to run it and constant electricity

At which point what’s the point of even buying it if you’re going to torrent it later on anyway though

Would have just the same claim to ethically pirate it if I were to buy it there as if I bought it on steam

My concern with this and other platforms like gog is that I can be fairly confident valve isn’t going under anytime soon, and that they have no interest in taking games away from people

I don’t have nearly that same faith in a project that’s only just started and doesn’t have the amount of money behind it valve does

Sure, once you own these games you own them but that means having to store every single game I’ve bought somewhere incase they go under and it all vanishes

Just because you can take a hammer to it doesn’t mean that’s the best solution

In the right situation I imagine it could be a useful tool, much more subtle than just smashing the thing, less time consuming than taking it apart

Not that I know of, I meant it could be put in a pressurised spray bottle, for example a deodorant can

If it’s bolted to a wall and unattended neither of those things are an option

You don’t necessarily need to put it into the air supply, could just bathe the specific device you want disabled in helium from a deodorant can or something

Shame it doesn’t support wayland

Systemctl hibernate/suspend not work?

Ahh perfect the desktop shortcut thing was what I was worried about, doesn’t seem like an ideal solution

Props to you for making it work with the launchers directly

That looks awesome I’ll have to give it a go

I guess it just launches the games via the shortcut the same way rofi normally works?

The app knows if location permission has been denied though

You’re probably right but it wouldn’t be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves

Did the people there actually believe they were robots? Impressive acting of course but you can see they’re costumes in the video and I imagine it’d be more obvious in person
