  It’s easy to say that Valve should make a stand, but wouldn’t be able to sell games anymore.

  I’ve recently learned that, if you connect your Battlenet launcher to your Xbox account, you can in fact play Diablo IV, Call of Duty and whatnot with your gamepass subscription. That works even on Linux.

  It’s not the same thing. The ROG Ally X is an AMD Z1 Extreme and the Xbox Ally X is an AMD Z2 Extreme. It’s not clear yet how well the Z2 Extreme performs in comparison to the Z1 Extreme.

  The Phawx did some testing with the Legion Go 2 and their Z2 (non-extreme) performs worse than the ROG Ally X. -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVdOkbJ9Npo&pp=ygUVTGVnaW…

  My cautious expectation is that it will perform marginally better than the ROG Ally X, maybe be 10-15%, though I’m not touching anything Microsoft at this time in history.

  I’m confused. The Xbox Ally X costs pretty much the same as the normal ROG Ally X. Don’t people in the US that prices in the EU usually include tax?

  Take the hint and start participating in housework and learn how to cook.

  Born via surrogate with the acclaimed actor’s ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith, Airyn told Them magazine that hormone treatment into becoming a woman began in 2024.

  Airyn has always been a woman. Hormone replacement is (one of the) treatments for body dysphoria.

  Isn’t Canonical up to some crummy schemes, too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I understand this correctly, then this restriction only applies to Turkey. Which is exactly what you’d expect. If you violate local laws, then there are local restrictions. On a global level, everyone else can still interact with you.

  Have I understood this correctly?
