A cold plunge is essentially an ice water bath for a human. It’s not food.

Brave uses their own search index, so they are quite literally trying to do that.

Welcome to Debian! Listen to @treadful@lemmy.zip, that’s the easy advice.

If you check this list and this list, many games on Steam will actually launch without Steam running. I don’t think I can say the same for a lot of other platforms, excluding GOG and itch, of course.

I don’t disagree with you about why it exists and that it’s bad, but the fact remains that it does exist and Remedy and Epic, as companies, need to face that when making these decisions and factor that into sales projections accordingly. They should have known what they were getting into, and forcing people into using Epic isn’t really the answer to the lock-in problem anyway.

Edit: Turns out a bunch of other platforms have DRM-free games too, TIL.

Respectfully, using Epic means using yet another platform. I have games spread across Steam, GOG, itch, Amazon, Ubisoft, and probably at least one more. If I buy a game on Epic, chances are I’ll forget about it, so I don’t bother.

This isn’t to mention that the one game I do have on Epic, GTA V, has 3 different launchers when used through Epic (when it wants to actually open). It doesn’t do anything Steam doesn’t and doesn’t do many of the things Steam does. I don’t even really love Steam either, because it crashes constantly on Debian for me, but I already have 500+ games there and it’s got ~20 years on Epic. I’m also a Linux user, so Proton is essentially one of the only ways I can reliably play most of my library.

Platform lock-in should be a consideration for companies, even though it sucks, because it’s an objective reflection of the reality of the games industry. Remedy knew that they would have fewer players going Epic-exclusive but seemed to underestimate to what degree that might hurt sales; this past couple of years have been sort of bad for the average person, so maybe they used previous sales data that didn’t really account for lower levels of consumer spending.

The game wouldn’t have been a massive success even with 30% more money than what they ended up earning. They didn’t want to pay the fee so they didn’t, that’s their choice and they were free to make it; the result isn’t Valve’s fault, they weren’t involved at all. When it’s on GOG or Steam, maybe I’ll buy it on sale, but at this point there’s no reason to lock myself into another janky platform. I did this with Control: the GOG version of Control is great and I don’t have to use Epic.

My parents (who are nearly 70-year-old computer users, by the way, and threw away their 2010 Apple laptop in 2015 because it essentially stopped functioning) absolutely don’t have the technical knowledge to do something like this. I think you may be vastly overestimating the average user.

I’m waiting for when the US votes to get rid of libraries because it’s hurting profits. This is an insane reason not to let people play games you can’t even buy anymore.

There’s a setting called “Steam Input” that I’ve enabled and I haven’t had any issues with that using my Steam controller and my Xbox One controllers. When it’s not enabled, I’ve had some weird connectivity issues and sometimes the buttons aren’t recognized properly in fullscreen.

Steam supports most of the more popular controllers out there (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Steam controllers, plus other Bluetooth-enabled brands like 8bitdo).

Vaguely? I went to look and (since I don’t spend time in racist circles) comment #14 made my mouth actually open in surprise. It’s not vague at all.

Damn, I really appreciate that. It’s hard to deal with, so it makes sense that the main advice is getting used to it. I take meds but I also don’t have a lot of income right now (kind of due to this problem but also other personal reasons) so I’ve been rationing and I think that was a mistake. My main symptom is intrusive thoughts so dissociation helped manage that at first but now it’s like, really debilitating lol.

Anyway, thanks to you and your roommate; I think other people will probably also find your comment at least somewhat helpful.

Anyone got actual tips for dealing with this?

Well, there are a lot of helpful suggestions in this thread, and you can also check out this thread on the Proxmox forums.

Looks like something in your config is wrong, because ghcr.io/v2/ is not a public address. GHCR is a container registry, so your app shouldn’t be trying to pull directly from /v2/. It should be ghcr.io/home-assistant or similar.

Cool, now I have to find something else to sync my Obsidian vault to my phone. It just worked! Fuck. =____=

Neat! I wonder how long it’ll be before we see it in a screenshot on !unixporn@lemmy.ml.

Without noticing or without caring? These thugs went to their victims’ job interviews with them and forced them to work over 70 hours per week.

human suffrage

I think you may want to look into what suffrage is. :B

Yeah! It lets me focus on content instead of building the actual site so I thought I would suggest it given OP’s use case.

Also the CSS can be modified with a separate file that overrides the default, so it’s pretty customizable without touching the actual config files at all.
