OMG this, and the breathless media reporting about that fictional title are part of the problem. Just the dumbest way to run an economy.

I forgot about Heroic, I’m checking it out now, thanks!

A lot if people, myself included mainly care about price and drm. So Steam is not something I care about, just price or GOG.

I’m with you. Although if the game is only on Windows, I’d rather be on Steam to make the Linux compatibility automagic.

Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.

Ooh, Mythmatch sounds delightful, I’m downloading the demo to check it out!

This article doesn’t mention the limitations of remote access for Jellyfin, which requires some tricks like reverse proxy or Tailscale. I think Jellyfin is a great option if you only watch/listen on your home network, but if anyone wants to replicate the remote access capabilities of Plex, I typically warn them they are going to have to roll their sleeves up.

+1 for the Fables comic series, entertaining and deep storytelling, they were great!

I switched to CubeTrek 2 years ago and have been generally happy with it. I sometimes miss the social aspects, but then I just text my friends and we ride bikes together anyway.

I assume they are all running for the public exit because they are losing money faster than they can raise it and don’t have any reliable business models to which they can transition in the near term. If they can’t become profitable, the next best thing is to go public while the hype is hot and to cash out ASAP.

Love this, good on them, but it also doesn’t surprise me, most bike people are pretty nice. We all know we might need help with a flat, etc. sometime ourselves and it does foster more empathy.

Yikes about the heart attack, though, the dude was lucky (and highly trained, obviously) to survive it.

That was WITH uBlock Origin enabled. I can only imagine what a hellscape that site is without it. But uBlock doesn’t block in-line images or inserts, and there were more of those than actual content of the article.

Just an aside, that site (PC Gamer) is almost unreadable with the interstitial videos, popups, etc. I haven’t read anything there in a while, and I can’t say I’m eager to go back.

I like the terms “moto” and “e-moto,” and they are accurate in these cases. They work in many languages, too, which is cool.

Ecosia and Qwant are trying to change that, but it’s an uphill fight.

Ha, my first reaction to this title was “What, is the other half sailing the seven seas for shows?”

Considering that every Cybertruck ever produced has been recalled, it’s fair to point out that it has been a short, troubled history for this platform.

Also, 173 units is a devastating indictment, probably the wildest part of the article.

And you melt it down to form a sword that can reveal and vanquish serpent men.

Until they stop offering it for free, after making you get dependent on their service. The Google Photos playbook.

If the reporting is accurate, your data is still sent to Google’s servers for processing. This doesn’t appear to improve privacy, it’s more like an extension of the user surveillance business model that Google has pursued in the past decade.

I was in a small town in Maine that did that informally, there were a handful of shops and a ban at one store was applied everywhere. They all had signs warning about the policy. It was apparently very effective.
