Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.

Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.

But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I’d recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.

DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.

Most people will use their internet company’s DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it’s blocked instead of to the website server.

More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.

0.19.4 was only released a few days ago. And Lemmy.world, the biggest instance, sure ain’t gonna be the guinea pig!

Ah yes, thanks, edited. Using a new keyboard and the autocorrect is still learning.

You already have Jellyfin, maybe test out adding a music library and using Finamp or Fintunes to access it?

You’re not gonna grab some lactase pills with part of the cash, or spend that $15 on dairy free ice cream?

You can’t keep your comment history on a brand new account.

Aren’t the Lemmy volumes bind mounts, so not in the docker volumes folder but instead on the file system as mapped in the docker-compose.yml file?

Unfortunately they don’t take requests for new subreddits anymore. In addition, they don’t mirror comments so in terms of answers to questions it’s probably not that helpful.

It looks like if you enter an “Other” option, it adds it to the list for others to select. Some troll must have added the others you can see on the results page they are marked as “(Other)”.

As another poster alluded to, digital goods aren’t really considered property in the traditional sense. Digital property is protected under copyright (and other IP laws). The owner could sell the game, but then they wouldn’t own it anymore (e.g. when one game studio buys another, they are buying the games as well). Instead, they grant a licence to use the game, which is how Steam works as well.

If Steam let you transfer your account to someone else (e.g. bequeath or sell it), then they would need this in the licence (which they could do in theory). Other than the logistics of that (especially how to handle people selling accounts - and the scammers that inevitably come with that), the AAA publishers are unlikely to agree to those terms. Ultimately the Steam licence is likely a compromise between Steam’s vision and all the AAA publishers that wouldn’t publish on Steam if they didn’t get the licence they wanted. A bit like how Netflix doesn’t really care if you use a VPN, they just have to enforce it so studios will let them use their content.

Is this any different from selling an account, which I presume you’re not allowed to do?

I have a 2016 Nissan Leaf. It’s a short range commuter car, it makes a great second car for a family but it’s no good if it’s your only car.

I live in a left-hand drive country that gets heaps of used imports from Japan (who is also left-hand drive), so they are cheapish and easy to get YMMV,. The entertainment system is not touch screen, it has physical buttons including controls on the steering wheel. I’m not sure if it can phone home since it’s no longer in a supported country. We use Bluetooth for music and that’s it as the Nissan Connect stuff doesn’t work here.

I use it, and like it. They dropped prices a while back so now you can get unlimited searches for $10 a month (they also have a $5 limited tier and a free trial).

First thing is I’d like to live in a world where search engines (and the internet in general) don’t have to be ad supported. This is a different model so I want to support it.

But also Kagi has some nice features. My favourite is how I can block Pinterest, and boost the ranking of other sites like Wikipedia. Basically you can have some control over search results.

If you’re familiar with SearxNG, that’s basically how Kagi works. They run the searches on a bunch of search engines and then present one cohesive search results page. But SearxNG for me takes several seconds to get the results, and Kagi is almost instant.

I don’t know if it’s significantly better than the free options, but I like using it and it’s pretty cheap really.

Kardashians?

Are we talking kraft or made from scratch?

I can’t imagine it being worth it for one game. The occulus quest headsets are probably the cheapest entry point, especially second hand, but you also get Facebook lock in, and they sell them at a loss so they can better show you ads and make more money. So I’d only go for the quest if you are desperate 😆. Objectively the Quest 3 may be a better headset than the Valve Index, but that’s because the Index is like 4 years old at this point. Many people still think the Index is better, but it depends what your priorities are.

A new Index is still like $999 all these years later. You might be able to get a used one cheaper, but probably not super cheap if it still works well.

VR arcades exist, so it might make sense to find one and play the game there if they have it! However, part of the appeal of Alyx is the use of the Index controllers (Knuckles) that have finger tracking fancy stuff. Arcades might be using the Vive Pro, so you’d have to check if they have Alyx and if they have an Index you can play it on.

I guess this also applies to getting a Quest. It will be fun but not the full experience, Alyx was designed for the Index.

I like the whole series. Others are talking about 1 and 2, so I’ll add Half-Life Alyx. It’s a VR game, and at the time the PC VR scene was almost all indie games. I remember working out that if I wanted to carry more stuff I didn’t need to worry about only being allowed to hold two grenades, I could just pick up a bucket, fill it with grenades, and carry that around.

I also remember being able to pick up pens and draw on a whiteboard.

I’m not sure how it holds up these days, but at the time it was quite the experience.

I don’t know about that guy but you can’t even get cheque books in NZ anymore. They were phased out, mostly because electronic payments are ubiquitous and most places already stopped accepting cheques a decade or two back.
