Might be a marketing thing, since the big ones are all using some variant of Linux as an option on their handhelds now. I also only remember one using Windows as a positive part of their marketing, and haven’t seen anything from them in a good while
Yeah, I couldn’t get it to either. For collections there’s a way to copy the nxm links and paste them into downloads, for individual mods I just download them from the website to either. It’s one of those “It works, just not with all of the features it would have natively” kinda things for me, which I’m fine with for how I use it. I only really use it for skyrim collections xD
Weird, when I did it on steamdeck all I did was install it under the same prefix as skyrim and it worked? Wonder if there’s something in the background that Bazzite isn’t to make it work
Yeah. And while Vortex does work on deck/Linux, it’s a royal pain to do, and in my experience you need to install multiple instances of it. I’d love to see them have native support, and make it so I don’t need a different installation in every single wine prefix
I mean, I’m personally not spending a cent there until the CEO stops assuming everyone on Linux is cheating at their games, but y’know. Maybe if they slander an entire demographic of computers enough they’ll bump their numbers
Almost certainly. I’d say Project Entropia is also screwed, but that is literally a casino of a game, so as long as there are players, they’ll be making money. Second Life is more worrying, though. Both games let you “cash out” your funny money to real money, but Entropia literally functions as a casino, where SL is more like a full economy
Oh, this is gonna have implications
Since they determined that in-game assets are real property of the player, basically every MMO is gonna need to change their ToS if they operate in the UK, because all of them that I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot) have something in there that “All assets are the property of $gameCompany” to stop these kinds of shenanigans. But if all it takes is being able to tie the game dollar to real dollars in a capacity officially supported by the devs… Yeah that’s gonna be some lawsuits
I’m not sure if bluetooth hacking is enough of a concern to be a problem? I’ve never heard of any major cases of it, and of all things, I doubt a music player would be a high enough value target for them to bother with? Could do something meant to spread to other devices, sure, but… I doubt the risk is high enough to be a primary concern.
Semi-related, but I did learn something: The modern name for MP3 players is DAP (Digital Audio Player), which can help with searching for them.
It’s opt-out. The default experience of DDG is with AI. They have a subdomain without AI, and you can disable it on the main domain.
Opt-in would be if it were disabled by default on the main domain, and they had a subdomain for AI.
Not sure where you are in the world, but 4tb drives are $80? Which like. $80 is a lot when you ain’t got it, but in computer terms it’s probably the cheapest part in the box
RAM’s expensive, storage has gotten pretty cheap, at least for HDDs.
Given your sunny disposition, I’ll politely decline.
Most countries. The bigger concern is typically whether they can compell them to keep logs, which not all can. Sweden (I believe) is one where they can compell a company to share logs, but not keep logs
For comparability with each other, this table from Hagezi’s block list on github is a good reference
Honestly the difference mostly comes down to the software you use, from what I can tell. Generally if you use an extension it will be more comprehensive in the blocking, since some sites (like YouTube) serve ads from their own domains.
Also, the Adblock format is what’s used by a lot of the software that blocks ads at a DNS level, at least that consumers will use. Per the table it supports Pi-hole, AdGuard, AdGuard Home, eBlocker, uBlock Origin, Brave (only in aggressive mode), AdNauseam, and Little Snitch Mini, which is pretty comprehensive.
Aside that there’s hosts if you want to do it on a Linux desktop. I don’t recommend that, as you need to manually update the list every so often, though I’m sure it could be automated if you really want to.
Personally I just shoved one of Hagezi’s into AdGuard Home and called it a day. I check it about once a week to see what domains are getting pinged most, and block any suspicious ones.
Edit: No idea why the table condensed that much in the picture, removing it since it’s not really useful if you can’t see the whole table
It’s very wrong about my entire setup, but it’ll be because it can tell you didn’t download some things
