I’m not going to buy it, but I’d download it the second it came to gamepass.

Just finished sea of stars and the combat system and writing in that game left me wanting more.

His argument is essentially that people are not toxic enough in online meetings to innovate.

I was very excited until I read this line

Python calculations run in the Microsoft Cloud, with the results returned into an Excel worksheet.

That’s an instant non starter for me.

Not to mention this integration seems very much focused around the graphing libraries of python and not using it for data processing. It’s not the ‘excel powered by python’ I dreamed of.

I mostly agree with you, the internet must change, and it’s changing for the good with these non-profit decentralized networks like Lemmy.

These companies abused the internet too much and it’s hit a breaking point. People are taking the power back. I look forward to a user-owned internet again where the content I see is not entirely controlled by corporate interests.

I think these websites will genuinely die within the next decade. There’s just never been decentralized social media(of this kind) to compete with them before.

Yeah, I saw this coming at least 5 years ago.

It’s the way Linus talks and acts, how their whole business revolves around a parasocial relationship with the viewers.

He actually became what he hated about NCIX so much.

Worse than I thought it would be… Some of my plates are larger than that entire sink.

Does anyone have a mirror of the video and posting? I’m curious to see just how bad it was.

Public key auth, and fail2ban on an extremely strict mode with scaling bantime works well enough for me to leave 22 open.

Fail2ban will ban people for even checking if the port is open.

Before people get worried about this, this is how literally any online service works. If you have an account anywhere, you trusted that service to not record your password.

Only exception is oauth, which actually might be a good idea for Lemmy.

That is a lot of words to say ‘they can’t see your password, but they can try to guess it. Make a secure password and you won’t have any problems’

Canadian problems :( and probably Australia too.

So many sports clips straight up not available here.

A little bit puzzling at first, but it does make sense.

With starfield coming out, they don’t want people to get the trial to essentially play it for free and then stop using the service.

1 month is just about enough time to beat a large game for someone who has a few hours a day to play. 14 days won’t be enough for most people.

Incoming proprietary cable that won’t let you data transfer or charge beyond 5w if you use a generic one.

A ‘no take, only throw’ mentality.

You want descriptive answers? Make a descriptive question.

It can be as simple as ‘what is “x” and why?’

If you are logged in they still have access to your activity and usage statistics which they can sell to third parties.

So it’s true that you are not ‘directly’ generating profit for them in an easily measurable way, and they would consider you among the ‘freeloaders’ that they called all third party app users.

However, you still indirectly benefit them just by using the platform. Especially if you leave comments or post content. If you just use it, lurk at most and come to lemmy for the discussions.

I always use milliliters and grams for cooking, unless it’s measuring volume of something solid.

I also use time for long distances.

Yeah, they really ought to be getting cracked down upon by governments for their monopoly on desktop computing.

Simply opening directX would solve a lot of problems with gaming.

Ultimately you will have to accept that you don’t ‘own’ your Xbox. None of us do. Microsoft does, and you paid $500 for the hardware, which they can decide to brick remotely at any time.

This is the tradeoff between console and PC. Console is significantly cheaper but you don’t get any control over it.

Ads are never going away, and will likely only get more intrusive until people start hitting their breaking points.

And directly in windows….
