Yep. Fuck Nintendo. I don’t care how good their games might be, they’re not getting another dime from me for as long as they’re hostile to their community and customers.

Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.

It’ll be Ubislop, or your money back!

Good. You don’t get to invade another country and expect that they won’t hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don’t belong in.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

FYI: Bitwarden has integrations for SimpleLogin, Addy.io, FastMail, etc. for their username generator, so you can easily generate aliases for every site, regardless of what alias provider you use.

This is just me being pedantic, but I keep seeing this mistake when UTM is mentioned (specifically in headlines), so I feel like I have to say something:

UTM is not an emulator. It is virtual machine software that uses an emulator (QEMU) to virtualize operating systems.

The difference: emulators emulate hardware. On which, the virtualized operating systems run.

The person you are talking to also believes the narratives that Russia spins about their invasion into Ukraine, so the don’t have very sound epistemology to begin with, unfortunately.

Here’s a neat tip:

You can go to most publisher or developer pages on Steam and “ignore” them to prevent Steam from ever showing you their slop again.

Example:

1. Go to: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/Ubisoft
2. Click the “Settings” cog.
3. “Ignore this creator”

You can do the same with EA, 2K, etc. Don’t even give these parasites microseconds of your time when they release their next slop title.

You say that as if companies haven’t been imposing greedflation/shitflation on everyone for many years.

Voting with your wallet isn’t an effective means by which to motivate a company to do anything. You’re just a drop in the bucket, so your distaste for a company will never influence their behavior. You know what does? Shareholders.

Thankfully, Proton is moving away from that harmful influence by becoming a non-profit, so that will be less of an issue for them and they can focus on delivering services that users actually want instead of shoveling in anti-features and forcing arbitrary price-hikes on their customers like most for-profit companies do.

Friendly reminder that conflating Jewish people with Israel is highly antisemitic.

Ethnostates should not exist. They will always result in the exclusion and harm of the excluded groups, as we are seeing now with the government of said ethnostate attempting to genocide Palestinians.

Both Nazis and the genocidal government of Israel are willing to enact violence to uphold their ethnostates, so in that regard, comparing Zionism (not Jewish people) to other ideologies that aim to build ethnostates is perfectly apt.

Hope this helps 🥰

Russia can end their invasion whenever they want to. All they have to do is get the fuck out of the country they have no right to be in 🥰

Servo cannot come soon enough. And yet… it’s so far from being even close to ready for real usage.

If you’re mad that the flag of Israel is depicted next to a Nazi logo, I would remind you that Israel is not the same thing as Jewish people, nor does it represent them. Israel is representative of a Zionist nation-state, and nothing more.

Both of the ideologies depicted in this meme are centered around genocidal ethnostates, so nothing being said is untrue.

I’ve never heard of it before. Is it this? I don’t see any mention of it being FOSS or even where to download their app.

They only just added the option to use a self-hosted instance a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly. If it’s not there now, it should be there soon.

Is there a guide for how to do this in a more declarative fashion?

Maybe, but the thing that makes iOS Shortcuts so great is that it basically offers an extensive GUI to interact with all of the system’s APIs.
