@fulano Oh my, that's terrible! At least they should give another option to communicate!

@John_Coomsumer Besides the mentioned Nvidia drivers, I use Steam. Steam isn't bad by any means, but I wish it was at least an Open Source GUI that uses it's proprietary backend service. This way we could have such a variety in Steam GUIs. Actually impressive that almost everything is Free and Libre software on my system!

@Greenpepper I actually appreciate how Musk ruined Twitter. I was never fan of that service anyway. That means alternatives have a chance to grow. :-) Thank you Elon.

@mojo True. He made a good introduction into both tiling window managers and holding off his own opinion/decision until end of video and only spoke 2 minutes out of 38 as a final verdict. He also do not push people into one system, just offering options and an opinion. In my mind this was well done first look for people to decide what they try next and what they await.

However it should be noted this was all in X11 and not Wayland.

@fuser I can see one downvote on this comment. It would be so funny if that one person is one of your friends. xD Just joking, but I want believe it!

@esty To be fair, the suggestion to use these extensions is good. But I prefer Firefox. It was the only way I could use Reddit. kbin and Lemmy are useable by default, even though it has some problems too. And dense people are everywhere, in Reddit, in Lemmy, in kbin, in Twitter. That does not mean everyone is one. Just the chance to hit an idiot is higher on Reddit and Twitter, because idiots would never consider switching from mainstream and shit on others.

And that's good. Good people switch, idiots stay on Reddit. Best filter ever. :D

@Raji_Lev Imagine putting the money into actual development or some online infrastructure. Oh wait, that would make sense. Yeah, not gonna happen.

@GamerKick Game is dead on arrival. There was rumors before the would be always online. Which at least most (not all!) people would have ignored, because this is an online focused game. But Denuvo? As if the masses would pirate an online focused game, that is online only anyway. I don't get this. Hopefully they will remove Denuvo after some time, like some other devs/publishers do.

Is piracy really such an issue for the PC Gaming industry? They must have some data we don't know. Why would they pay millions of Dollars otherwise?

@alessandro Valve knows what binary it is, but that does not mean Valve would know what distribution it is. There are no hidden data sent to Valve. On the other hand, Valve knows exactly how many Steam Decks are sold. This fact can be used in the statistics. The question is, if these statistics are ONLY about the survey results or if such information is included as well?

[–] thingsiplay@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

@alessandro But the Steam Deck does not get hardware survey in Gaming Mode. It only has a chance to get a survey, if the user logs into Desktop mode and then have to stay there for long time in order to get a chance. So I don't know how the statistics are calculated here.

@cloudsheep0 Finally the game comes out of Beta test period. (Edit: This is a meme reply. The game wasn't in Beta. We just call it if games release on other platforms first and then later come over to Steam.)
