Games is the one example that actually makes sense though. The game code size hasn’t really increased tremendously, but the uncompressed assets have only gotten more detailed and more numerous.

Agreed. I hope it doesn’t become so popular that it turns to shit.

It’s way worse than that.

Even if you somehow magically have the same settings as everyone else, you’re mouse movement will still be unique.

You can even render something on a canvas out of view and depending on your GPU, your graphics driver, etc the text will look different…

There is no real way to escape fingerprinting.

That’s still half the US population though.

It’s no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they’re not here yet.

As opposed to other social media platforms like reddit where you can only have one, right? 😜

To be fair, nerds will tell their tech-illiterate friends about this change and probably influence them enough to consider it. Especially when it’s something as easy as downloading an application.

It’s much easier to switch a browser then it is to stop using Google, Facebook, etc.

This should be the American catch phrase 😅

The problem isn’t that there are no libraries out there that parse Markdown. There are, in fact, plenty for all different languages. The issue is that every site has its own flavor of it. Lemmy does it one way, GitHub another, and something else does it completely differently yet again.

It is, unfortunately, kind of a mess.

I feel like a big hurdle is the way you have to type out cross posts. There was just something elegant about Reddits solution: /r/subreddit.

As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.

I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U…

You know, you are technically correct.

Same, friends. I don’t care what operating system people use, as long as Valve keeps supporting Proton and making it possible for me to game and therefore stick with Linux.

Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

This argument always bothers me.

Do you really expect people that are involved with child pornography to go “Oh well, now that it’s forbidden to have private messaging I guess I will just stop looking at children, because the law is the law and I have to follow it.”?

These people know they are breaking the law and I can promise you this. They will find a way to privately exchange their shit while the rest of us now have even less privacy…

Yeah it’s really weird. I have done what OP has done for a while now on an Nvidia GPU and Pop!_OS with KDE and have had 0 issues. I don’t use a 2x2 grid though. Can that really be the issue?

Maybe pay off would be so far into the future that they don’t want to risk it? Who knows how long crypto will be a thing.

It’s worth mentioning thought that Microsoft did step in after they bought Bethesda to get the game to even run at 30fps on their consoles.

However, I very much doubt that they would have tried to compromise the vision of the game after paying premium for the company. Keep in mind that Bethesda had delivered some beloved games in the past.

The mistake was to trust them. A mistake that it looks like they don’t want to repeat with Blizzard judging by the huge amount of layoffs.

Why not just say “no, thank you” to such an invitation?
