Well thats sounds like a pretty good source. What a joke Microsoft is ffs
- Comment on The WRC games rally behind a new publisher weeks after being dumped by EA 2 days ago:
Imagine all the buy ups of game IP slowly reversing because the publishers mismanaged so bad that the CEOs are scared that their 6th yacht wont possible.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 2 weeks ago:
It mostly still exists, you just arent interacting with it.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 3 weeks ago:
You have no idea what you are talking about. You can own and resell any physical piece of game media. If you have a gameboy cartridge, nobody can take that game away from you. If you have DRM free game files from gog, nobody can take that away from you.
The only case where this disgusting lincense shit is possible, is when games require being online and logging in to unlock the DRM.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 3 weeks ago:
the fact that I don’t actually own my games
It doesnt solve this in the slightest. Steam and game publishers can always take your games away without prior notice.
- Comment on Valve’s Proton, the reason most Steam Deck games work, has a version 10.0 beta to try 4 weeks ago:
This means they pulled in Wine 10 which is the thing that will actually have interesting changes. Proton updates are mostly just game specific bla bla. The real game changing (hah) things come from the libraries it depends on.
For example Wine 10 brings:
- ARM64 improvements
- An initial version of a Bluetooth driver is implemented, with some basic functionality.
- and more
- Comment on Bluesky will trap academics in the same way Twitter/X did 2 months ago:
Bluesky enshittification has already started. You needed 3rd party clients to use it properly from day one and they have central control over the whole platform. It will only take some politically controversial event and they will quickly show their true colors.
- Comment on Modder transforms Steam Deck with broken display into a mini PC, and you can too 2 months ago:
Nah 350€ is really good value for that hardware, but only tinkerers would buy it because mainboards in the steandeck almost never break i would assume. I think the issue is more that valve wouldnt get any ROI from selling a mainboard without steamOS on it because it might not be used for gaming.
- Comment on Modder transforms Steam Deck with broken display into a mini PC, and you can too 2 months ago:
From the beginning i just wanted valve to sell a standalone mainboard for exactly this purpose.
- Comment on The US just added the world's biggest games publisher Tencent to their list of Chinese military companies 4 months ago:
Yes we do, it is involved with military things and is technically a US military contractor
- Comment on The US just added the world's biggest games publisher Tencent to their list of Chinese military companies 4 months ago:
I mean yeah, they arent just a game company even if thats all people know them for. Its like calling Samsung a phone company.
- Comment on Data centers powering artificial intelligence could use more electricity than entire cities 5 months ago:
If i ever hear someone complain about CERN / LHC power consumption again i will just slap them.
- Comment on Valve dev details more on the work behind making Steam for Linux more stable 6 months ago:
Yeah sadly it just broke things for me. I appreciate the general idea but if it breaks games on stable debian then its not ready for release.
- Comment on 'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment' 7 months ago:
Most people that i know that use the word toxic, are the things that they mean when they say toxic.
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 7 months ago:
In a couple (maybe most at this point idk) EU countries you can use your ID in combination with your phones NFC and an open source app to prove certain parameters like age to sites, without giving up any identifying information. This is what should be used here and not fucking bank accounts.
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 7 months ago:
It also gives parents assurance that they arent crazy for restricting their kids access to these hell sites.
- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 7 months ago:
Nah i think its good to see. I wouldnt wanna walk around with glasses that filter out anyone wearing nazi symbols or something like that.
- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 7 months ago:
Your dumb ass probably wouldnt even know what NATO is without Wikipedia.
- Comment on Google Will Track Your Location ‘Every 15 Minutes’—‘Even With GPS Disabled’ 7 months ago:
Thats true but im not sure if i have more trust in the cops than google. The requests for cell location data are instantly waved through usually.
- Comment on Google Will Track Your Location ‘Every 15 Minutes’—‘Even With GPS Disabled’ 7 months ago:
Unless you physically remove the entire SIM module from your phone, this is not solvable. I have a degoogled phone too, but as long as you use a SIM card, you are being tracked.

They would get shit on in court if they did that. Amazon tried with prime and was not successful.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 8 months ago:
Words have meaning, doesnt matter what some company says.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 8 months ago:
Yeah no, thats not an “archive” you are talking about thats just a bunch of storage. Archives are for things like historical, government, artistic data. That stuff sits in airtight cases on tape storage in a bunker.
Obviously any drive that is constantly in use to deliver data to customers is gonna die, thats never going to change. But these were actually intended to be used for archiving but failed at doing exactly that.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 8 months ago:
Isnt the standard preservation system tape drives? They tested the longevity of different storage solutions ages ago to avoid stuff like this.
- Comment on Phone companies to be asked to help tackle rise in snatch thefts 8 months ago:
Maybe a bit cynical, but this sounds like an attempt at making it possible to remotely backdoor or at least disable the phones of people the government doesnt like. You can already track a phones location as soon as it is powered on. They should just get the phones back to the owner instead of bricking them.
- Comment on Clearview AI hit with its largest GDPR fine yet as Dutch regulator considers holding execs personally liable 8 months ago:
Pleeease. Put them all in jail. Never let them out. We need to set an example for the cesspool that is silicon valley.

Bro left out the most important part (i know you are said OP, its okay)
- Comment on If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe 9 months ago:
I assume so. I signed it earlier. You can either fill out a form or use your ID to verify your identity online.
If your country shows up in the list, then it should work. eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
