  Two F2P games? Most sales happen on Steam, except those few rare examples.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet they also are the ones who pushed gambling and the whole skins economy

  They’re also the ones that are accused of abusing they monopolist position regarding store prices (if you sell on Steam, you can’t sell cheaper elsewhere)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve abandoning their 30% greedy cut? Never!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the point? The entire point of a phone would be compatibility with apps. You can already run something nice and repairable and relatively open if you go over the fact that many features won’t work with it, like some banking apps, NFC payments…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t steam machine have a lot of soldered components? But yea they’ll probably sell spare parts so at least that’s a good point

  As someone who used to get sick in cars and boats, I got it, so you might as well

  If the technology interests you, then sick or not, you’ll probably like it. Won’t play every day, but it’ll be a nice experience.

  Start with games with not a lot of motion (beat saber for example), then move to more intensive games. You’ll get sick after 15mins, then 20mins, then 25… until you last for a couple hours, and at this point you’ve built your resistance.

  Just stop playing when you feel sick and try again an hour later when you feel better or a few days later

  But yea, VR isn’t straightforward or an obvious purchase. It requires time and will, and money, obviously

  Also given how common it seems to be anecdotally to get sick from it, no one wants to jump in just to have to jump back out.

  you can build a resistance to it. It takes time, and it was the case for me

  Who?

  Thanks, I’ll watch this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That works if you have a correct sleep schedule… this feature only enabled like 20 times in my life, and half the time it disabled itself because I used my phone during the night

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We always want better :)

  Well, if they realize the problem and do nothing to fix it and don’t advertise this problem, it ends up being a less worse type of planned obsolescence, but it’s still planned obsolescence imo

  I meant @Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.ml

  Thanks for the additional infos!

  Here is the protonfixes repo for reference: github.com/GloriousEggroll/protonfixes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So 60% for top 10?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re the exception

  Most people play the same 3 FPS games that don’t run on Linux. They’re probably not the type of people that would use Linux but hey, some might

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From their readme:

  Things it contains that Valve’s Proton does not:

  • Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
  • AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
  • FSR Fake resolution patch details here
  • Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
  • Raw input mouse support
  • ’protonfixes’ system – this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
  • Various upstream WINE patches backported
  • Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed
  • NTSync enablement if the kernel supports it.

  But a woman can deny as many potential pregnancies. The count ignores women who are already pregnant, both as men or women

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not ejaculating inside is risky and not 100% reliable, but it surely gets the odds in your favor indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whats that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends what you mean by trust

  If you mean trust that they won’t sell, then yes

  If you purely mean security, then Google

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uneducated answer

  Proofs? Their privacy policy, the fact that Google is an advertising company, the fact that the “data sharing” of iOS gets leaked regularly and they’re never sold basically

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They make a significant margin on them, but note that material cost isn’t the only cost involved. Development and R&D should be included in the price. Same goes for taxes, and different spendings like renting the workspace…

  If your cheap phone is made by underpaid workers in China, then you have a part of the answer. Those cheap phones sell your data to make their margin. Some others charge you premium because they’re good and they know it. Obviously they’re making good profit on them, but I wouldn’t say it’s “so much”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People spend multiple monthly salaries to buy a car that they’ll use less than their phone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never said more secure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And then there’s the drama and CoMaps…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it’s up to how much one values having slightly better privacy over the rest. You can’t blame someone wanting the best of both worlds without too much effort but at a higher price

  Besides, iOS has had a relatively good interface and the best chips and energy efficiency, one of the best cameras, but ofc lacks in other areas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to decide, a few months ago everyone was blaming OpenAI for not doing anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still believe the majority don’t know shit and repeat stuff like the video from The Hated One, which only apply if you run a custom Android ROM, and even then, it’s based on their opinion only and no metrics or real data to back it up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s worse for your data than iOS
