Yep. Fuck Nintendo. I don’t care how good their games might be, they’re not getting another dime from me for as long as they’re hostile to their community and customers.

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

Removed by mod

They’re transitioning to a non-profit organization now. While non-profits have their own problems, and it doesn’t make them exempt from enshittifying, it removes the profit incentive to do so.

In other words: I’d give them a little more credibility when it comes to this sort of thing until they give us a reason not to. I’m hopeful that they can be a positive force in the industries that they are in.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.

God bless 🫡 Get the occupying force the fuck outta there.

Congratulations. Now you have a bunch of sick/harmed people that you could have treated for cheaper up-front. This is bone-headed as shit, all for the sake of being racist.

It’s analogous, and this is a comment section. Deal with it.

It’ll be Ubislop, or your money back!

war between Israel and Palestine

Not a war. It’s a genocide, and it’s Israel that is perpetrating it.

Surviving the AIDS crisis, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, “conduct unbecoming” in the military, strung up on fence posts in Wyoming, public arrests, family disenfranchisement, discrimination in housing, marriage, legal rights…just getting started

Cool. And you’ll get absolutely nowhere with reactionary sentiment like “fuck you, I got mine” as a part of your movement. The people that want to allow the genocide to continue are the same people actively working to take those rights away from LGBTQ+ people, and they’re not gonna let up just because reactionary twats like you think it’s okay. Not to mention the fact that the rest of the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t even have all of the rights you mentioned, but that’s none of your concern, I’m sure.

The fact is that rights movements and struggles for social justice will continue to largely ignore backward sentiment like yours, as it is necessary for the progress of all of the groups that struggle for them and your attitude toward people other than yourself would only lead to an erosion of those rights.

“I got mine. Fuck you.”

Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

Friendly reminder that these pandemics are the direct result of animal exploitation and carnists have themselves to thank for making the entire world suffer to an incalculable extent, just so they can have 5 minutes of mouth pleasure.

Those “super bugs” and antibiotic-resistant bacteria you’ve heard scientists express dire concern about for many years? Yep. This is it. And it’ll only continue happening as long as we allow animals to be systemically bred into existence and exploited.

Good. You don’t get to invade another country and expect that they won’t hit back. I wish Russia a very getting the fuck out of the country they don’t belong in.

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.

I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.
