If you’re on Android, you really need to use Kotatsu. If one source is taken down, you have a couple hundred other options and it doesn’t change the overall experience.

The ACLU is a freaking joke, not sure why you’d trust them. They’re literally making up excuses to try to prevent this from passing. Makes you wonder about their reasoning.

I genuinely wish nothing but the worst for Denuvo. Scum of the earth. DRM sucks, I do my best to avoid games with Denuvo.

Let’s hope it passes this time. The “controversy” seems to be the typical, forced nonsense. It’d be nothing but a win for children’s privacy and mental health.

What I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter where the information is. If it’s absolutely crucial information, archive it, but if it disappears from Reddit or wherever, it’s not like someone else will be incapable of asking again, here or elsewhere.

At this point, I actively encourage people to boycott this thing. Steam Deck is better anyways.

A good first step. FOSS projects have GOT to stop using Discord as their primary engagement and documentation method.

Eh, if the information already exists on the web somewhere, why reiterate it? Seems excessive to insist on asking on the Fediverse unless that information can’t be found on a search engine or through AI.

I agree entirely. An argument could be made about native Linux releases being too much but most games run with Proton if the devs don’t intentionally cripple it through kernel anticheat or other arbitrary limitations.

Privacy is not necessarily anonymity. Signal uses a phone number to prevent spam and DDOS attacks on their network. Session doesn’t do this and got wrecked by DDOS attacks to the point where most of the major groups are pretty much dead.

Use Signal to talk to people you know. That’s what it’s for. You don’t use it for anonymous chats.

That could be what they’re waiting for.

However, I do not believe SteamOS is going to be the silver bullet people think it is. I’m somewhat of a fanboy of Valve but SteamOS is really only good for a console-like PC experience.

People who want to ditch Windows need to look at Linux as a whole, not just SteamOS.

No. It’s an advertisement of political beliefs veiled as a retro games post.

“Look at me, I’m a leftist! Oh, and it’s relevant because a retro game made me one, see???”

Give me a break. It’s nothing more than an advertisement.

Yet again, the analogy fails. This is a community themed after retro games. As is on point for the Fediverse, folks can’t resist shoving their political views into everything, then they act as if it’s unreasonable for people to say they don’t appreciate the attention-seeking, echo chamber nonsense in a totally irrelevant community.

You don’t get to force politics in a non-political community, then tell people who disagree that they need to go somewhere else. Nope, that’s not how it works.

The lack of “kink shaming” is one of our biggest problems in society. Just saying.

Doing the Lord’s work. Followed!

That analogy might work if not for the fact that I’ve attempted to block political discussions from my Lemmy feed through instance blocks, community blocks and word blocks, yet I still see people obnoxiously shoving their political views into everything.

Yes, because there’s literally no reason to make it about political views. And yes, those titles would be just as ridiculous in my book.

Again, discussing themes in a game isn’t the issue. The issue is that the title was very specifically written that way to catch clicks. Clicks from similar culture warriors and from those who disagree. It’s disingenuous and completely unnecessary.

That’s laughable. It was nothing BUT a cult back then.

You can bet your life that they would, had they won in November.
