  • A handy graphic to bring you up to speed on the Katy Perry/Ruby Rose situation.

  • Wait, is Katy Perry the ostrich. or is Ruby Rose?

    Non?

    That's okay, we forgive you.

  • Steam lawsuits in a nutshell

    Jump

  • i like their program where they make older games Legally playable(IIRC Steam used to do the same?).

    The big difference between Steam and GOG here is Steam will happily host older games but doesn't seek them out. GOG actively seeks out older games that aren't published anymore and tries to get the right to distribute them, and patches them in various ways for modern hardware.

  • Linux reaches new massive peak of 5.33% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: March 2026

    Jump

  • Even the game's page on steam is usually useful. If you click on details in the deck verified page it tells you exactly why it's not verified. Most of the time it's something like not selecting the deck's screen resolution by default, or needing the keyboard to enter a character's name.

  • Just don't be a fascist about it

    Jump

  • You know... this coming out so publicly under ordinary circumstances would probably be a good thing™.

    The blackmail material is already public knowledge. It can't be used for leverage.

  • I have an HP LaserJet 4050. I bought it with 450000 pages on it, and have likely put on another 20000. It was built in 1997, and still works perfectly. All of its maintenance parts are user-serviceable, its toner is generic and readily available, and it supports postscript and pcl. All you need to use it on a modern computer is a serial or parallel port, or use its internal network server that uses both the standard lpr protocol or HP jetdirect.

    Yes, there absolutely was a time when HP made good stuff. It ended in the mid 2000s. When they stopped production of the HP 48 and 50 series calculators was the end of their good years.

  • Germs are just dirty microscopes. Have you ever seen one with the naked eye?

  • I must have the sauce.

  • The worst timeline

    Jump

  • .. no. I was dead serious about trying FreeBSD on the Steamdeck. FreeBSD supports almost all mainstream hardware you'd see on a normal desktop. Figured it'd be similar for the steamdeck. So now my weekend project is to try out booting FreeBSD 16 off a USB stick on my steamdeck.

    After a small amount of duckduckgoing I found that it somewhat works already. GPU hardware is detected but can't initialize. That's a reasonable starting point for someone like me who isn't afraid of kernel-level code :/

  • The worst timeline

    Jump

  • More-or-less bog standard amd64 with amd graphics? Assuming the generic AMD video drivers work FreeBSD should be able to get to a graphical UI out of the box. Might not have controller or gyro drivers, but a keyboard and mouse should work fine.

    Now I have a project. Thanks, Droechai...

  • The worst timeline

    Jump

  • That's glorious. Now I want more information.

  • Hurr durr

    Jump

  • So they expected it to be a purely infosec war?

  • Canada Conservatives Want Chinese EVs Barred and Their Software Banned

    Jump

  • Yup. If there's a radio or some other permanent network connection involved no software from any country is trustworthy. We'd be right to put Chinese software under scrutiny. We'd also be right to put US, French, Israeli, or Japanese software under scrutiny. Those other countries would be just as right to put Canadian software under a microscope.

  • Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff'

  • I don't disagree with your main point, but I think the Mario sprite thing is just as easily explained by technical limitations as artistic ones.

  • Nah, the farts would be behind her if she were using them for thrust.
