Also very unlikely, as (unmounted) network shares are accessed very differently from Windows and from Linux.

But maybe the right developer was working in that area of the code for a small fix or something, and happened to see what the issue was on Windows and knew how to fix it.

Can’t be, since it’s labeled as a Windows bug and the Linux challenge is obviously not on Windows.

I do appreciate the ability to download a fully offline installer from gog and the requirement that games be drm free. But people keep making statements similar to yours as if steam games have to include some form of drm. There is no such requirement. Steam can simply act as a downloader and patcher. Integrating stream services and failing to start if there is no steam or the active account doesn’t own the game is completely up to the developer.

So if they have a drm free build on gog, but the steam hype includes drm, that’s cause the developer actively decided it should be like that.

Popular game examples that do not include any drm in the steam version are Factorio and (the original) Kerbal Space Program. Once downloaded, you can freely copy the installation around, and just start the exe. These games start just fine.

The service part only applies to copies sold that include steam keys and therefore use the steam-API related things (workshop, cloud saves). I haven’t read about this specific case in detail, but as long as that use of steam for copies sold is part of what they wanted to leverage but essentially not pay for, that’s obviously bull.

This honestly is somewhat unexpected and I had to re-read the comment I replied to to understand it correctly, hence my misunderstanding of that aspect. It’s unexpected cause ubisoft in particular for the longest time had their own “store” and games required at least their own launcher. I haven’t played Ubisoft games in at least a decade, so I don’t know/remember if the games reuired your own ubi-account, or if the games relied on Steams systems (workshop/cloud saves/…). I would’ve assumed no, and that they only use it as a downloader cause players essentially wouldn’t buy it outside of steam (or at least not enough).

Top be clear: if steam allows copies of a game listed on steam to be sold at an arbitrary price as long as that doesn’t include a steam key, this is perfectly fine. Actively thinking about it now I would assume it does, as I’m pretty sure I bought games without steam keys for less than the listing on steam was.

if you have a separate non-steam version you can charge whatever you want.

This is the part that was unclear from the original comment. If that’s in fact the case, that’s obviously fine (and different from the Amazon case).

why wouldn’t they?

it’s called “competetive pricing”. If I’m a customer and have a steam account holding most of my games (like most PC gamers), why would I even consider buying it anywhere else if it isn’t even cheaper and now I got games in like 3-5 stores with at least 2-3 launcher/downloaders/apps. No, this most likely won’t make them more money but much much less with fewer people buying it there.

Amazon got slapped with a substantial fine (in the EU) for having basically the same “rule” in their contracts, that forbid cheaper listings elsewhere. So yes, in the EU hanging that rule is illegal. But if it applies to digital licensing is another matter.

You do know you’re only renting access to the game with a one-time fee, not buying it, right?

Edit: the original comment left it unclear if the price rule only applies to copies sold that include a steam key, or if copies that work completely without steam can be arbitrarily priced. If the latter is the case, it’s obviously fine. If it includes any game version, it isn’t OK.

What would be the point in this PC parts economy? There would be like 7 people buying it.

The specification reaches is 1.0 release. It can now be implemented. Until this can actually be used and I’m a consumer friendly easy will be years. Not to mention when hardware acceleration will be available. We only relatively recently got that for AV1.

Any reason it’s not using zellij but still tmux? I thought this use case was basically what zellij was made for.

To be clear, I’m seriously asking, I don’t really use the terminal to host fully fledged applications/screens

Absolutely fantastic game

Predecessor also works (3rd person moba, free to play).

It uses easy anti chat, but the existing Linux compatibility in that is clearly turned on, which isn’t to common unfortunately.

Didn’t pebble release a smart ring? I don’t know the price, but from what I understand their newer stuff (since the relaunch) is either fully or mostly open source.

I don’t know if it includes the sensors you want though.

I sure haven’t, and won’t. If that’s what their leadership wants, I won’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. There are many other games, I don’t need to play this particular one that badly.

These days, if you’re not on Windows you can use luks or just zfs with encryption enabled. Code is open and can be audited by anyone. But yes, VeraCrypt to my knowledge is also still a viable option.

It’s not a rename. Resources if a different app that already exists and will be taking the place of the existing system monitor.

The fact that this has an sfp+ port makes it instantly magically interesting to me. Probably not gonna be practical, as risc-v generally isn’t yet, but I do love where this is going.

Until very recently, I exclusively used the /56 prefix I get from my ISP exclusively. This is still relatively annoying in my case as this prefix changes at least daily for some reason. Clients get their IP via SLAAC.

I’ve added ULA literally less than a week ago as I have a local reverse proxy I want to handle both local and external request, in both v6 and v4. Obviously more hosts should be accessible from local clients. But I can’t tell local clients apart except by IP, and since the prefix is unstable this would require some sort of hook to update the proxy with that new prefix (might be possible, but seems like a real hassle). So here we are.

Yes, and I don’t know if it could even be classed as a collaboration. They just buy them and resell them with different firmware, basically?

I assume some part of acceptance is required for that in practice, but it isn’t like Fairphone ever advertised them as an official option (as far as I can tell or saw).

To anyone who owns a PS5 and thinks this is cool and wants to use it: turn off updates now, it just disconnect it from the network. This will be patched and blocked, probably very quickly.

No company that doesn’t allow you to install browser add-ons will allow you to run a pi-hole instance. Not on your machine, and much less as an actual pi plugged into their network. If you did plug an actual pi into the network it would probably reason to be just straight up fired.
