Naming it incognito was a mistake. It was always clear to me all incognito is, is a non persistent container to keep your browsing data separate from your regular browsing data. All its hiding is your porn browsing habits from your mom. But of course, the name implies much more.

Man, so many influencers do this. It’s really a shame what kind of world we are building. People who actually have reach - influencers, staying quiet about real issues in fear of cutting the hand that feeds them. Off topic but damn if it doesn’t hold true.

Music folder on a network share. Navidrome and plex and jellyfin all have access to that library, then pick your poison for the client app. Plex is also DLNA enabled so my dumber AVR can access it too. I mostly use tempo app on android though.

One could argue the article is anti consumerist since its talking about de cluttering, albeit in a weird way. At least, that’s what I’m assuming. As for organic conversation, beats “did you see [sports game] last night”. But that’s just me.

What I’m seeing in Europe is a few sellers selling them, sourced from other steam decks. Used parts from non reputable sources. This is what I’m talking about. Yes, I could use them if I really needed it, true.

And, as luck would have it, the thing that breaks on mine is the track pad and I cant find a replacement.
- Comment on Day 332 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 1 week ago:
Well said. I adjusted my expectations and found myself liking the game. I didn’t find the planets lacking in anything, really. I expected things to be barren as it felt more realistic. The game is photographiclly beautiful. While a lot of the gameplay and writing critique is valid, I didn’t think it was a fundamentally bad game, just mediocre in some parts and excellent in other parts many people simply overlook.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 1 week ago:
I believe it uses DRM that doesn’t work on newer Windows versions. There’s a fan patch that removes the drm and the game should run. Online is probably not an issue.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
Not sure if you’re trolling or what, but I still play MK Wii regularly with friends on local co op. Used to play it on the console, I now emulate it on a steam deck. There’s nothing that matches the quality and charm of the game on any platform and I say this as a regular opponent of Nintendo. I don’t find it unfair as it strikes a good balance between skill and luck. Everyone I’ve played with, gamers or not, pretty much agree.

New to this? You go to the website and claim the game, then never play it and go back to playing whatever you were before.

You can buy it yourself. Then list for 9k again and point out it’s previously been sold for 10k. It’s been done.
- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 3 weeks ago:
I thought your point was it was never happening? I provided examples where it did happen in the past and where its happening now. Volatility of the price vs USD is not the biggest issue if the payment processor gives the vendor USD back after the transaction. If the vendor believes in crypto, they can decide to keep it as well. Had Valve chosen to hold their crypto earnings in 2016 for a few years, they’d have seen even larger profits. But thats beside the point. I personally believe they canned it more because of transaction fees. At the time, bitcoin network was oversaturated due to an explosion of popularity which reduced it to unusable levels for everyday transactions.
You should be focusing on why other vendors are still supporting crypto and asking yourself why.

Never gonna happen is a bit of a stretch. It used to be a thing. Steam accepted bitcoin. They stopped accepting it due to volatility and high transaction fees at the time. You still price things in your local currency but convert at checkout. There are “plug and play” payment processors who can handle it now… Spar in Switzerland accepts it.
But imo, its not something regular people should be using anyway.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
I generally agree with you and its what I did, but why do i need yet another device plugged in, draining power all the time? I dont want to leave an even larger co2 footprint and software support on existing hardware could aid in that. The android box is a workaround, not a green enough solution in my opinion.

So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 4 weeks ago:
Here it boils down to:
- Network power (fixed fee based on your max power needs, depends on time as well)
- Network energy transfer (fee for energy transfered, here its about 0.018€/kwh)
- Energy (fee on the energy used, about 0.146€/kwh right now)
- Taxes
- some bullshit for maintenance and running an open market portal for companies to buy/sell energy

Geralt could go on a Gwent tour… but what’s this? Upon entering this new land of Walachia, some bandits stole his Gwent deck while he was asleep in his camp. And he had the ultra rare nude Triss card in it, too! Open, The Witcher 4: a quest for cards.

- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I remember it being in W2 as well. Its just been so long since I’ve played either, I really cant articulate it well why I liked it so much. I just know I did but didn’t feel the same way about W3. In the end, I loved each of the games because they all had their own thing going for them. I don’t have a favorite.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 5 weeks ago:
What I appreciated with the first Witcher is seeing the story from all sides and I dont recall it feeling black and white. Humans were shown as hating elves for their attacks, but then you get to the elves and learn their part of why they were attacking. The writing feels raw with hints of racism, vulgarism and the like. It felt right for the setting.
The Botching story line (the barron) in W3 was probably my favorite and that was a side quest. I didnt feel the same momentum going forward in the main story of W3. - Comment on Burned Loss 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for the context. I only looked at it from within the frame of the comic. From that perspective, it only seems strange to have such a tonal shift - a usually comedic comic presenting a more serious issue. So the problem was the context, got it.
