My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it’s smooth as butter. I guess what I’m saying is Linux for everything at this point… for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.

If Denuvo has no negative impact on sales, what’s the need for their recent PR campaign to “rehabilitate their image”? https://feddit.nl/post/22918778

Denuvo is a deal-breaker for me.

And I can refund the game if I don’t like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.

Steam Deck support?

Don’t forget you can ignore publishers.

Following the trail of your comment: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets does indeed cite https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaq0216, but I’d love it if you could provide more details on your criticisms of methodology.

If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Speaking of unhelpful, eurogamer.net is littered with ads. They add no value to the original Reddit post (https://old.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1emb4ch/valve_is_finally_addressing_bad_reviews_issue/).

I’m actively working on building something for this. In the interim, most phones have something akin to a voice recorder with transcriptions.

Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.

Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn’t even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.
