  I’m fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they’re doing so. Like the fact that the review didn’t disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam is one of the few apps that I’m fully okay with having on my phone and using for 2fa. I especially like that when I go to login it’s like Discord where I can scan a QR code to confirm from the App instead of having to type in a number that expires. Like it would be nice to have the other functionality as well but I’m content with their current system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay so where’s the value here? Like I’m sure the phone numbers are worthwhile but including the 2fa codes with the phone number doesn’t seem like worthfull information, unless steam doesn’t properly have OTP setup and they don’t expire in a timely manner, but I’m willing to bet that a company like steam has a properly configured system

  Not to mention the “see this big alert saying this isn’t safe? Well for this one time it /is/ safe so do so” While curbing the mentality of “oh it was safe last time so it must be safe this time”

  I don’t regret buying them, they are good games, but I don’t Condone shitty practices. If you restricted yourself to moral or ethic right companies only you would have nothing to buy sadly. You buying a game != you accepting the ideologies of the leadership of said game.

  Just get games you know you enjoy, and ignore all the dramatics that are involved. Life’s to short to lock yourself down with it all.

  yea for real… like I didn’t even know it /was/ being review bombed, but as an avid fan of the Ori series… this puts a real sour taste in my mouth

  no, they countered saying thre wasn’t enough zeros, and then they rectified the problem. Gotta make it seem like its a concern

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For real though, like I don’t see their monetary gain here. The only thing they’re encouraging is people to just not bother buying the switch in the first place in favor of other projects. I believe if they manage to go through with this and actually enforce these new terms, that were just going to see A Renewed effort of a completely independent emulator that can run their games. One that would allow third party modification and firmware

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IANAL but, If I’m understanding this article right, it sounds like their new terms are going to give them the authority to brick your Nintendo console if you reverse engineer it. If this is the case I firmly expect this is going to be challenged in court because if I understand the current laws right this directly contradicts the end users right to reverse engineer Hardware that they own. Nintendo would be allowed to terminate your account and block access to the network with them over it as that’s something that they actively maintain, however I don’t believe they can legally remove access to a piece of Hardware that you purchased, soley due to the fact that you reverse engineered and installed a third-party software to it.

  Now don’t get me wrong, they can definitely refuse warranty if(and only if) that modification caused a malfunction, however it’s a big jump to go from we’re not going to repair your device and you’re no longer allowed to access our Network to this $400 object that you purchased is now a brick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I understand your argument here.

  I think a better comparison would be am I going to feel bad for the kid who got punched in the face with padding on, then decided that getting punched in the face was OK so they removed the padding. And the answer is firmly no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I put a negative review for a company making their game worse, because that’s what they did.

  The fact that they did it without a court decision saying “yes defo in the wrong here” didn’t help the decision making process.

  I am firm in my decision, a game as big as palworld was, just bending over backwards to a patent bully like Nintendo doesn’t deserve a good review, and nothing is going to change that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if patents were actually used properly it would be no issue. They were meant to prevent other companies from stealing your mechanic as you were still in development, however it’s changed to be an abuse tactic to prevent others from entering the field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld had to remove game features because of Nintendo lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and just like that, my temporary negative review just became permanent. Heavily against allowing bullying like this.

  I mean concidering Tesla lost the EU market, it’s likely this will go unchallenged. but yes shitty but expected from the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  discord is not a forum (even if they want it to be with the forum channels), its never been a good location to store information. That being said, its amazing for real time communication unlike forums. I hate that devs use it for FAQ and bug forms and stuff. I stopped reporting bugs if it requires me to join a discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this is what i meant yea, just delay shipping to store outside the initial batch until all preorders are completed. Or in a perfect world not at all until preorders have been made. It’s obvious that its possible after the ps5/xb1 launch where the shelves were basically bare for weeks at a time after launch.

  Just have everyone join the queue and call it a day, or better yet, make release day a Nintendo only thing, and then after pre-orders are handled, then start giving to the stores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so dumb.

  “We had way more preorders than expected, in order to fulfill our preorders, we will be delaying in store sales until after preorders have been completed”

  that would bd such a simple solution. It’s not like they are out any money either way, and pushing an instore sale date back to make other prior commitments work isn’t a horrible thing, it just means that people who didn’t bother to preorder won’t get it day 1, but most who wanted it day 1 would have pre-ordered it anyway.

  In my eyes your native language is the language that you’re from birth because it’s the one that you started. It doesn’t have to be the one that you’re the most proficient but it usually is. The definition is

  the language or dialect first learned by an individual or first used by the Parent/Guardian with a child

  Your primary language is the language you use the most which in your case sounds like it’s English

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Firmly agree, what the US considers left versus with the rest of the world considered the left is vastly different. Even it’s left-leaning “parties” are borderline to moderate right when compared to the rest of the civilized countries who share similar ideologies.

  Any true left leaning candidates get their funding ripped out at the roots and get stonewalled off the ballets, even Sanders, while a breath of fresh air was still more centrist than leftist when he was running, it’s just the US scale is so off balance that he used the “socialist/leftist” tag to get into the news/boost his PR.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanna preface this with I had a small keyboard slide phone in school, not a smart phone by today’s standards, but I am firmly against this archaic mentality.

  It doesn’t address the elephant in the room, classrooms have become painstakingly boring. There is no real incentive for the student to actually do well anymore, or even pay attention. This is exclusively for the k-12 system though, as the issues seem to have become non-existent entering the college and university system. I went from being a solid D/C student in high-school to being an A/B+ student going into college

  I spent my time in grade school fucking around and barely paying attention, this was without a smart phone. I couldn’t keep focused on the class subjects, and so therefore I gave up. The college system has the process downpacked, it’s laid back, not hours on end in a row learning useless shit you won’t need, and you have the freedom to either listen or don’t, there isn’t the constant pressure from professors “You are failing you need to do better” like in high school. Plus the professors seem actually happy to be there and they make the content more enjoyable, its not just droning on and on on a subject.

  The only things removing a phone from a classroom is going to do is remove a potential learning tool, and just annoying your students even further. If your student doesn’t want to learn, removing items isn’t magically going to make the kid learn. Make it entertaining, do something OTHER than this stupid info cram shit where you just regurgitate information constantly. There is zero incentive on almost every subject you learn to actually want to learn it. You don’t learn any type of life skills, you don’t learn anything for your career/future. Hell they don’t even teach cursive anymore. My sister couldn’t even read a physical clock entering 7th grade. They don’t teach it. But you can bet things like “what happens in the 16th century” will be taught, or what basic cell structure is (I couldn’t tell you, I forgot all that info leaving that class room).

  Like I get needing to know history, and basic mathematics, but the current schooling system is a overburdened plug of useless information for society. Everyone knows it, everyone lies to their kid saying things like “yea you will definitely need to know what beware the ides of march means in life”. If things that people knew would be useful in life, and it wasn’t just a professor saying “ok class open your book, this is the lesson” for 3/4 of the year, you might have a better student attention span.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who else misses Battlefield 1943?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved this game, I used to play it on my PS3. It was really the only game I felt comfortable using the flying mechanics in and it didn’t seem super overpowered weapon wise to the point you just got stomped by people who were amazing at the game

  I doubt they will find anything copyright wise, patent wise maybe if they had patents for some of the mechanics, but if they don’t already have the mechanics, and try to file post-fact that’s going to backfire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seems to be considering paid membership option⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, I feel the community that is most apt to fall in line with their project goals, and want to support this change, is also the community they are currently outcasting. Personally I stopped using GOG when it stopped working easily on my Debian system. I shouldn’t need to use a third party program to get it to work, and I swear it feels like they intentionally made it so WINE no longer works for it.

  For a project that is supposedly for open use and game preservation, they don’t make it easy to actually do so.

  Firmly agree, I don’t believe he should have had access to change these password in the first place unless I’m misunderstanding their definition of test engineer, but if OP had the authority and permission to change the password in the first place, and that person deliberately changed it back to the insecure route again, there would some sort of reprimandment involved

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy disaster as LGBTQ+ and BDSM dating apps leak private photos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  my main question in this is, why does a test engineer have the credentials to change an admin password in production. Like I get that he needs to test things but I doubt he needs access to changing profile/account settings

  You will struggle to find a car newer than like 2015 that doesn’t have a screen, and it’s basically impossible to find one newer than 2018 at least in the US because it’s mandated at the federal level to have a backup camera installed.

  you may not find full on infotainment system, there will be some sort of screen involved. But many manufacturers go by the methodology that if they’re installing a screen anyway for backup cam they might as well just go the whole nine yards and have it be a full-on infotainment system
