  While valve has a lot of deserved goodwill, that’s always the problem - they’re well-behaved, but set up in a way in which the customer has no leverage if they where to change their approach tommorow.

  Good thing drm-free games run just as well on the steam deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on Warframe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I play it about once a year to check for new story content. It’s fun. Grind is annoying, but if you don’t want a crazy build, you can mostly ignore it.

  For games like this it’s almost always licenses for cars or music. They probably weigh the cost off renewal vs likely future sales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly, that turned out to not work since people apparently don’t like ordering via voice interface. Doing it via an app or website tends to be faster and more convenient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None of my techy friends use Alexa, and the people I know that do almost certainly aren’t open to paying a subscription.

  AntennaPod is nice and FOSS. I went there when Pocket Casts started to introduce more and more subscription features after they went free to install, and never looked back.

  I feel like odesli/song.link uses screen space more efficiently, but it kinda comes down to preference.

  There’s also song.link in case you don’t use Tidal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is quietly installing the Copilot app on Windows PCs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a Windows Partition that I need for a few proprietary programmes, and manged to get an Enterprise Edition license key for it. Definitely against their license agreement, so they could take it away if they ever felt the desire to, but holy shit, it’s so much nicer. Group Policy Editor isn’t the most uncluttered piece of software, but under Enterprise Edit on you can still use it to deactivate pretty much all annoying things Win11 does.
