Seems convenient, I never really felt assed to install and set up additional tools but this being built into the Steam client would make this kind of thing more likely for me to use.

That being said 95% of my games are going to be bottlenecked on my RTX 2050 anyway (paired with an i7-8700 that’s still holding strong)

Q. Aren’t you asking companies to support games forever? Isn’t that unrealistic?

A: No, we are not asking that at all. We are in favor of publishers ending support for a game whenever they choose. What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary. We agree that it is unrealistic to expect companies to support games indefinitely and do not advocate for that in any way.

For desktop I’ve been getting playlists I like from the web Spotify UI, then using spotdl to download them.

On mobile I’ve been trying out Kreate (YouTube Music frontend) and so far it’s not bad. It doesn’t have a real algorithm but I tend to browse by genre until I land on a playlist, or go to a song I feel like and hit Song Radio. UI is still a bit clunky in my opinion but it has worked so far for me otherwise.

And what’s the insinuation here, given that being told the instance admin is a woman your response was “That explains a lot”

Open source Windows activation scripts

I got absolutely fooled by a tech YouTuber posting that Microsoft added OneDrive ads to the blue screen, so it felt good to get got for once.

However with real life news, I tend to agree with you. The distinction between satire and real life is getting ever more minuscule

Oh, would’ve been so frustrating! I remember having a Pentium 4 laptop with an NVIDIA GPU and that thing unsurprisingly cooked itself, so I then tried 1NSANE (Codemasters’ soft body physics car game) on my crappy little netbook instead and it just couldn’t handle it.

It would be some time before I was gifted an Acer Aspire with dedicated graphics and a busted screen that I could play 1NSANE again

Colobot - don’t think it was “shareware” but it absolutely came as a demo on ceebot.com (still hosted there today I believe). Literally THE game that got me into computer programming and whatnot.

Otherwise for actual shareware, I loved Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Crazy Gravity and The Worm (found it!)

I really wanted to play a couple shareware games called Jetpack Joyride, and Hot Chix n Gear Stix as a kid, but neither of them would play on my Windows XP netbook as they had a hard check for if you were on either Windows 95 or 98, even with compatibility mode.

I love how that video has aged even better by the fact the guy’s using Windows 8

I meant it in the sense of using an obscure operating system to be less likely to be targeted by a threat actor.

Or to be more general, using obscure software for increased security, over actually correctly configuring and using secure software.

Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn’t be the primary defense strategy for your device.

…security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you’ll see me over on FreeBSD instead

Sky News being least biased with high factual and credibility??? And the mods are surprised when we users keep protesting and downvoting this damn bot.

Enshittification truly is a shame, because my old school GPS actually does this already (Turn left past the McDonald’s) and while I have no idea whether it’s paid promotion or not on my device, I like that feature. If that feature is equally applied to any known business as a landmark (heck, even other services like police stations, fire stations, etc.) it would be appreciated by users.

Instead, and here we are beating this drum again, capitalism gets its grubby fingers in this pie too and uses it for further advertising, turning a good feature into a bad one.

I had to do a double take between this comment and the one by @davidgro@lemmy.world
