- Comment on The Steam Summer Sale is live now! 3 days ago:
I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren’t set up to pirate. And even if they were, it’s inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don’t think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.
If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out
- Comment on Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly 6 days ago:
From the post:
Whether it’s a local or a cloud-based model, if you want to use AI, we think you should have the freedom to use (or not use) the tools that best suit your needs
- Comment on What's a good budget home server? 1 month ago:
That’s about the minimum price for what you’re asking.
- Comment on What's a good budget home server? 1 month ago:
What are the VMs for? Could you use containers instead?
- Comment on @pixelfed: Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated Using #ActivityPub 1 month ago:
Yes, everyone deserves a bullshit free social experience. You’re more than welcome to go start your own instance that only federates with other hardcore nerd instances
- Comment on Roguelite atrategy 2 months ago:
In FTL you unlock new ships and variations. In Into the Breach you unlock new mech classes and get to keep a pilot and all the experience they gained.
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 2 months ago:
I think you’re overstating the compute power and understating the amount of cardboard Amazon uses
- Comment on What web services do you subscribe to? 2 months ago:
Namecheap supports ddns out of the box too, no additional service required. You just need a cron job that calls their API to update your IP periodically.
- Comment on Breathtaking colorized video from 1896 of around the world 3 months ago:
The original scenes didn’t happen in black and white. I’d argue this is even more accurate to the original (real life).
- Comment on unRaid is NOT switching to a subscription model 4 months ago:
But if you already have a license they aren’t changing the agreement with you? I also don’t think there was ever any agreement that everyone else would get the same agreement as you
- Comment on Photofield v0.15.0 released: Google Photos alternative, now zoomier than ever! Plus related image search, map view, arm64, tags (alpha), and more! 4 months ago:
There’s nothing special you need to do to support Unraid beyond providing an image.
OP is likely talking about getting it added to the Community Applications app store, but tbh if you don’t use Unraid yourself it’s probably better if someone else who does maintains the template.

Here’s my headline: Why obsessing over battery degradation is unhealthy and you should just do whatever is easiest for you
- Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 5 months ago:
Nextcloud has been super solid for me using the official docker image.
- Comment on Bluesky posts are finally open to the public 5 months ago:
You could build all that on top of Mastodon too though. E.g mozilla.social uses Firefox accounts to sign in and the Elk theme.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 5 months ago:
Well said! I agree with almost everything, except I still want algorithms. I think I’d say “free from algorithms that serve corporate interests” instead. Algorithms that help me find content I genuinely enjoy are sorely missed.
- Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C 6 months ago:
Oh no, not their production targets! Allow me to play this song on the world’s tiniest violin.
- Comment on No More Will to Play 7 months ago:
I mean if you’ve beaten the main line and faction quests, you’ve likely put in at least 80 hours. If you had fun, that’s pretty good value. Why does it need to be longer?
I got bored after 30 hours, but had a good time. I’m not complaining.
- Comment on What's the best game you played this year (that didn't come out this year)? 7 months ago:
Inscryption
- Comment on [NEWS] Important update about the campaign against browser-levelcensorship in France (SREN bill) 7 months ago:
This has much broader consequences than just France. Imagine if France succeeded in passing this, and browsers had to implement capabilities for government mandated blocklists.
You can be sure governments across the globe would be rushing through similar legislation as fast as they can.
- Comment on Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average 8 months ago:
The actual installation is easy, the finding equivalents for your years of accumulated workflow is the part that isn’t.
I just spent 4 hours trying various window managers and shell extensions to replicate what I had with fancy zones in Windows. Finally came close with the gTile gnome shell extension, but it’s still not quite what I had.
It’s not even a Linux deficiency or anything, but let’s not pretend that switching operating systems is a trivial endeavour.
- Comment on Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. 8 months ago:
Ah my bad, then I agree!
- Comment on Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. 8 months ago:
You can’t give UBI to a subset of people. Then it’s not universal anymore.
But if you did give artists a basic income, how much art would they need to produce to qualify? What qualifies as art? The law doesn’t do well with those kinds of questions.
Better to implement true UBI. Give it to everyone, and afford more security to folks who want to focus on art.

Am I the only one who came to Lemmy for more of that shit?
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 9 months ago:
Those are the way.
I bought a bulk bag of the shitty kind. Worst purchase of my life. I was too stubborn to throw them out and it took a decade+ to get through them all.
- Comment on Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold 9 months ago:
There absolutely have been new heat pumps hitting the market in the past year or two that are blowing away the previous generation.
- Comment on Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold 9 months ago:
Sure it does. Unless your average temp in January is under 5C? And on those really cold days theb gas furnace kicks in anyway, so you get the most efficient heating no matter what.

One option could be to sign up for the VPN or pocket premium. That goes to the corporation rather than the foundation. Though it would still partially fund products other than Firefox.
