Windows 10 is still getting security updates if you enrolled for extended security updates, which I believe my Windows machine prompted me to do (though it’s possible I only saw it when I went into update settings to manually update, rather than a desktop notification).

okay lmao

As a Pixel 6 Pro user who occasionally has to interact with the Samsung devices my parents use, holy moly I don’t know how anybody puts up with this. We’re talking fullscreen advertisement lockscreen bloatware that can be disabled but not uninstalled, added to the phone out of nowhere with a recent update. The worst android keyboard I’ve ever used in my life. A UI and all of Samsung’s versions of existing apps that I’m constantly fighting just to use the phone. It’s ridiculous. I genuinely don’t know how anyone can run a Samsung device without installing a custom ROM or something it’s actually insane.

First paragraph indicates that it’s pulling from ProtonDB’s list of games:

However, the most recent stats from ProtonDB (via Boiling Steam) highlight that we are edging towards a magnificent milestone. The latest distilled data shows that almost 90% of Windows games now run on Linux.

I use a plugin for Jellyfin (which I believe is available by default you just have to click the install option on the plugins page in your Dashboard) and manually download subtitles through the subtitles menu for an item if what I download doesn’t include them.

The other classic

I’m a big fan of this very specific type of greentext

Try taking a look at the way glueten implements port forwarding with protonvpn. Hopefully it helps you piece together a script that works for your setup.

My understanding is that debrid servers do not seed, which is the primary reason I’ve been turned off to the idea of using one

Never read this article before, thanks for sharing!

It supports more codecs and I believe can store more tracks compared to MP4. Whenever I download a high quality movie or tv show, especially if it has multiple audio tracks and subtitles to choose from, it is always packaged in .mkv

Jellyfin natively supports playlists. Symphonium also supports playlists, both local and from your Jellyfin server.

itch capitulated in like the worst way what do you mean. they nuked a bunch of stuff and stole money that they hadnt paid out to creators yet even for non-delisted games. itch is hardly “fighting censorship” in that regard. dont bother boycotting them or steam though. call visa and mastercard daily to pester them about their recent changes that have affected digital storefronts and dont let up until they reverse course. thats where your pressure will make a difference. three people refusing to buy from steam anymore will do nothing at all.

My understanding is you can absolutely end up with a lien and other such things, so it wouldn’t be a good idea unless you’re ready to burn every financial bridge with the US for the foreseeable future. But if you’re not coming back, then that’s that I guess.

nO yOu HaVeNt sorry for not including a link that took me three seconds to google, asshole

Europe doesn’t use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

I’ve heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you’re stuck in Europe and can’t pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

Oh my god I think this is one of the two games from my childhood that I first played and have not for the life of me been able to find

The other is some weird frog sidescroller platformer I got at Staples as a kid in the late aughts or possibly early 2010s

He wildly misunderstood/misrepresented the initiative two videos in a row (and continues to ten months later), and he continually discredits the entire initiative because of contrived edge cases.

I think this paragraph from this twitter reply really sums it up:

My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to keep all games in a “Functional Playable State” after sunsetting which is not possible for all games and could limit what kinds of games people make in the future.

The idea that creativity would be hampered because games would have to remain playable when the company shuts down servers one day is ridiculous. Can you imagine if we talked like this about anything else? “We can’t force every phone to use the same USB-C charging port because it would be too technically infeasible to do so and hamper creativity.” “We can’t outlaw CFCs because they’re useful chemicals and it would be technically infeasible for some products to be made without chlorofluorocarbons (the things that fucked up the ozone layer).” “My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to ‘make cars limit their emissions’ which is not possible for all cars and could limit what kinds of cars companies make in the future.” Ridiculous.

It’s absurd that I’m not exaggerating when I say his opposition to Stop Killing Games entirely boils down to “I think companies should be allowed to take games away because it would be really hard for them to leave some games playable when they’re done supporting them 🥺”

I used to passively like Thor, but when I watched those two videos he made last year about SKG I lost all of my respect for him.

Okay 👍

That sounds about right. I don’t use it very actively but I do have it set up. I might set this up as well to have them side by side.

I prefer sqtracker’s UI, but I’m glad to have other options to choose from (and memory safety with Rust is a pretty neat bonus)!
