I mean, not like it was his fault only, I blame the council who decided that “hmm, what if we force this young and insecure young man to spy on someone he deeply admires?” is the right course of action.

In general the Jedi are a cult forcing their members to get rid of emotions (which backfires like all the time) and I’m not sure there were any good sides in the prequels.

While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.

And if they don’t, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.

Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.

Doesn’t mean they’re pro consumer.

Somewhere in between that weird guy and jaded outcast.

Wayland replaced a shitty protocol with equally shitty one. So it’s still shit, but different.

That is, if Wayland works for you. If it doesn’t, running X inside Wayland won’t solve much.

Sure is! Especially when Wayland is broken all the time. Last year I had to be on X because Wayland was laggy as fuck and my eyes hurt from the constant flickering.

A year before that it worked flawlessly and now it works too. Can’t wait for the next major update, I just love the thrill of not knowing whether my PC will work well or not.

Modern or not, X just works. Wayland is broken all the time.

Yep, this is the reason, the service that facilitates this is called Lemmy Federate.

Yep, just couldn’t make it run on Win11 last time I tried, nor Win10.

Both the normal and remastered just couldn’t run well.

Well, there are games you can’t play on current Windows. Like I couldn’t get Fahrenheit work on it at all. On Linux it worked first try no modifications.

Probably not as many as 20% of games, though.

I mean, if ever there was a good reason for blockchain (aka immutable things that can’t be changed after being created), it’s this.

Digital everything is the future, like it or not, for long term preservation it’s better to focus on digital solutions.

I mean, not even 500k people in the whole of EU care about this apparently, so we get what we deserve, I guess.

That article is garbage, basically boils down to “did you know that this thing that’s not suitable at all for a model where you pay by milliseconds doesn’t work well on serverless?”

Did that person even read what Lambda etc. are useful for? Like, what’s their advantage? Hint: it’s not 15+ minute execution nor is it having a shared state with previous instances.

It really looked like it’ll be signed quickly in the beginning, I was really hopeful.

Now I’m not really sure it will pass.

J2ME are old dumb non-touchscreen phones. My last one was Sony Ericsson j108i. And just now reading the Wikipedia entry, it was actually the last non-smartphone phone by Sony Ericsson! Nice.

Damn, the nostalgia is real. And the design still looks much better than smartphones which look pretty much all the same. Back then, phones had personality.

The Sony Ericsson phones in particular had very advanced J2ME support that I didn’t see that much difference between that and my first smartphone (Nokia C5-03). Not that there weren’t differences, the smartphone was definitely more advanced, but it wasn’t that huge of a leap.

Nope, it doesn’t have a controller built-in and its main purpose isn’t gaming. You can’t run PS games on a Switch, does that somehow magically make either not a console?

You can play Mario on old dumb phones using J2ME emulators.

Another likely cause: you’re posting to a non-local community and you got hit by federation issues, while your instance thinks the post got created, the target instance doesn’t know about it.

Happened to me a few times.

Everyone also always forgets that they save money on distribution massively. And that the amount of games sold has increased significantly.

It’s not as simple as dollars had more value, games should cost more.

It’s a console and a PC in one package! Or you feel like the other consoles don’t have an operating system in them?
