That was always Gabe’s intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.
Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.
Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.
The media creator runs perfectly in wine. But isos are easy to find as well.
I use batch renaming all the time, very little of it for programming. Media management, and general file organization are my most common uses. But there are plenty of third party free programs that let windows do this without the need for running python scripts.
TBF I couldn’t read very well when SMK came out so I don’t really know if the game mags were trashing it.
.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I’ve been liking .zip so far.
I’m so annoyed by all the “why isn’t it another RPG?” Complaints in the video comments. Why would southpark lend itself only to the RPG genre? Does anyone complain that Mario kart isn’t a platformer?
I’m not saying they won’t try, just that it doesn’t matter. They have no power here
When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the “right wing extremist” tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.
Looks like it was to give independence to the French African states.
That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.
Eh, it’s unenforceable. Just theater from a bunch of politicians that don’t understand the technology. I wouldn’t worry about it.
That was the first way I installed Ubuntu. I remember the bootleg ones on eBay for $5 also.
I haven’t touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It’s still there with all my purchases intact.
According to one person, that likely made it up for fake internet points.
I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it’s just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven’t logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).
I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.
Don’t forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.
Not sure if it’s right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.
