- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 6 days ago:
Probably because it’s easier than making EULA for every state and county
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
In many ways I agree but the point of not being able to use expansion packs across platforms is a kind of lock in. I wish more tech companies were like Valve for sure, but they too need to be kept on check.

High bitrate 1080p > mid/low bitrate 4k and 8k.

Sounds good. Valve are doing a lot of things right but I often find that they go under the radar when compared to similar stories around Google and Apple.

True but rather have that then sorting through that myself.

I like the ai assistant answers, seems to not include much SEO bs. Ddg, bing, google, startpage, whatever… All shit SEO results imho

I’m stupid. How do thet even produce the keys?

The Sonic Racing series is great but still isnt the same. Maybe nostalgia :)

Experienced this first hand. Don’t understand why something better has come up. Everyone agrees that this system is broken
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 months ago:
I was interested in your perspective. You are free to have your own opinions. You blocking me doesn’t really help your case. Runs well with you calling people you disagree with for fascists. Disagree with me and you stop the conversation because I disagree. Great mindset to have a democratic debate - something I would think that you would be interested in, qua your views. Guess not.

Good job! Fighting the good fight
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 months ago:
Care to explain or do you simply call anyone you disagree with for fascists? Words matter, so stop pushing this “baaaah everyone in government are fascists”. It is incorrect and honestly tiring to hear (speaking to a relatively large group of lemmies who always throw the Nazi or fascist card when that disagree on politics).
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 months ago:
It actually is a problem for small businesses, especially start ups. Not agreeing with the approach but the GDPR law is extremely complicated to find your way around - talking from experience. Support the idea, implementation could be better.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 months ago:
While this is awesome we still need to have the same performance on Windows. Yes, some games run better through proton for some reason, but that’s the minority. Hopefully, proton will not be needed for new games in the future and we get native builds like CS2.

Wtf is “willingness to work from design-first principles”? Do Wired realize that the form of the handle follows the function of designing for better aerodynamics?

- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 4 months ago:
Exactly. I don’t get why people even cares about what this dude is saying. Dont like the game? Refund it ffs.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 4 months ago:
Stupid comment indeed but this is the gamer community as we know - thet feel SO entitled.
Listen, you can try the game for two hours and get a refund on steam. If you didn’t notice the performance issues on your rig within those two hours, well, what’s the problem? If did notice, then why didn’t you just refund on get on with your life? It’s because of this crazy feeling od entitlement thet gamers seem to have. Whenever something doesn’t live up to their arbitrary standards, the world must burn.
I don’t like BL games and I don’t like poorly optimized games. Doesn’t run like I wanted to? Fine, I refund, maybe try when I upgrade my hardware and the game is on sell. Lots more of these incoming because developers not being able to work with UE5 without optimization issues, e.g. the new Metal gear remake). Also, I know nothing about how devs deal game optimization.

- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 5 months ago:
Also, only officially browser for MitID is fucking Chrome. Always works with Firefox or libreWolf, though. However, I have contacted MitID two times about issues. They are always referring that I should look at the help page supported OS/browser blah blah. They don’t care about the part of the population that doesn’t use Chrome. Ironic that the same government now screams and shouts about how we have become too reliant on US big tech… Idiotic tech noob politicians.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 5 months ago:
It’s on per default when signed in to OneDrive. Actually a really nice feature tbh. However, you will be promoted to hell and back if you aren’t signed in to OneDrive. I like the feature for work but I don’t like the idea of it being the default setting.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 5 months ago:
LibreOffice does everything I need except that their version of Power Point (forgot the name lol) is a mess to work with in terms of making the slide deck visual appealing. Automatic guide lines, snapping and smartart, to name a few.
Thinking about onlyoffice but I’m not sure if I can trust them since I read about then trying to hide their ties to Russia.

- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 8 months ago:
I don’t consider YouTube to be in the same category as these other streaming services. I use YouTube way more as the content is more interesting to me. But still…
- Most of the streaming services have subscriptions (some with ads). YouTube is completely free with ads (ublock origin saves the day).
- Content on YouTube is very different from other streaming services. I know YouTube have dipped its toes in the tv show market e.g. the karate kid series but nothing compared to the big productions like white lotus or lord of the rings.
- Length of content. YouTube is anywhere from 1 minutes to infinity (almost). Traditional shows on streaming services often is around 45 minutes +/- 15.
- YouTube had the worst recommendations algorithm nowadays. Seems to be the general opinion yet YouTube aren’t listening.
Probably more points I haven’t thought of.
