How long before an AI company buys all the hard drive supplies and foces us to use cloud storage?

Evil, greedy little bastards…

so you yourself is an example of how sales don’t make you spend money…

personally i don’t really buy random games because they are on sale. like, i go through the list of games shown on the steam sale page and most of the time i will find nothing interesting. what usually happens is i would wishlist games i want to play, then wait until steam sales and see if i get a discount.

Which is not great, but is a lot better than actively destroying the fabric of the society, like all other billionaires are doing.

So your position is a store should never have sales? Besides, pretty sure games need to willingly participate to be on sale. e.g. factorio has never been on sale.

I have a pro-Valve bias because I do like them. But I still do want to make a fair argument and would like to be corrected if I fail to do so.

So, yes, Valve’s refund policy in the past was bad, and yes, they were forced to change. But since then they have fixed their mistakes, and have arguably the most generous refund policy out there. Last time I bought digital content from Nintendo store I had to waive my refund rights.

They could have limited refunds to Australia but they didn’t. This has to count for something, right? Valve is a for profit company in a capitalist system, and yes they have bad practices. But surely we can agree they are one of the better ones?

oh my god

our org forbids plain http

is redirecting http to https also out of the question? because let’s encrypt HTTP-01 accepts http -> https redirects:

Our implementation of the HTTP-01 challenge follows redirects, up to 10 redirects deep. It only accepts redirects to “http:” or “https:”, and only to ports 80 or 443. It does not accept redirects to IP addresses. When redirected to an HTTPS URL, it does not validate certificates.

Half a dozen sounds like a lot, kinda curious what you are running? If they all are web services maybe use a reverse proxy or something?

Depends on which DNS service you are using, a plugin might already exist that would do it for you. e.g. I use cloudflare for DNS and certbot is able to automatically set the txt record.

Well it should be as short as possible while still being practical. LE doesn’t have infinite server compute, renewal also takes some amount of time, plus if they make the validity too short people might stop using them (pretty evident judging from sentiment here) and move to other CAs and make what they do pointless.

45 days are still plenty of time yet people are already complaining. Does make me worry.

You can already get 6-day certificates if you want to https://letsencrypt.org/2025/01/16/6-day-and-ip-certs

I’m sorry but if you aren’t using automated renewals then you are not using let’s encrypt the way it’s intended to be used. You should take this as an opportunity to get that set up.

Wait, how’s this worse? This makes the Internet safer by reducing the window a leaked key can do harm.

Win10 already supports TPM 2.0, it just becomes mandatory in 11.

And no, TPM doesn’t spy on you.

It’s basically steam deck minus the screen. If you are used to the steam deck it’ll be fine.

So 93% of the Linux users use English steam. I wonder how much of that is because Linux users just don’t bother to set system language (I am one of them), or maybe the language was not detected correctly.

Linux on exfat?! Do you mean ext4?

I don’t get you people. The founder of FUTO literally platforming a fascist is beyond just purity test level of bad.

I can call Eron out for being a supporter of fascists, while using FUTO keyboard because it doesn’t spy on me, that’s perfectly fine. I don’t get why using their keyboard means you have to defend the horrible position held by the people behind it. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.

A diarrhea hole.
