Bye now.

You don’t know shit. My search turned up nothing more concrete than your own apeing of the plaintiff’s claims as though those were evidence, so I didn’t bother.

Meanwhile, the subject at hand quite literally revolves around Steam and Steam-Keys. We don’t even have to get into third-party distribution without Steam-Keys to disprove your argument, although that market also remains alive and well as ever.

The rest was just me matching your energy, but I’m not exaggerating when I say I should have just blocked your belligerent ass a while ago. You can’t be bothered to prove your own points, yet keep pretending to be the most “mature” and “focused” person here. It’s painful to watch the trolling this far off the rails.

You honestly think I didn’t do a google search before reading the two relavent articles reachable from the OP? Nothing I found, nor the fact that I regularly buy games/steam!keys cheaper than via steam, meshes with the plaintiff’s claims.

Telling others to act like grown-ups while accepting un-founded claims that happen to reflect your argument at face-value, how very mature of you.

The allegations of the plaintiff are not necessarilly the written or enforced policies of the defendant. Please consider linking something of substance when accusing others of being un-serious/insincere.

You made a claim without linking to it in the first place. Its not my job to substantiate your arguments.

Sure. Not being able to sell literal Steam keys on other platforms for less on other platforms for less according to the terms is the same as being prevented from selling on other platforms for less at all, nevermind that Valve gets a 0% cut on Steam Key Sales made like so.

Also, there is no mention of said policy in either the OP article, nor the separate article about the lawsuit it links to.

Steam does nothing to prevent running non-steam games on any platform. Charge 20-30% extra on Steam and call it done.

You, me, my brother-in-law. For some reason, its the progressive* men in my life who understand the need to get our families away from this shit, somewhere they can avoid suffering and death, or radicalization, or recruitment to a losing cause. One thing we’re definitely NOT heading for is a quick civil war.

Meanwhile my wife and all the other white progressive women we know seem perfectly happy to play wait-and-see straight through until its far too late.

*Even most of the MAGAT men I know would jump at the chance to remove their families from this sinking ship - they don’t want their kids caught up in this shit either.

Moreso than idiot though. It’s almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you’re looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by “cuss-words”.

They said “pretty sure”, not certain. Statistically, they were right, until routers started shipping with “secured” wifi settings by default. Nowadays, its the reverse.

Sounds like its making no-one all that happy.

Talking 10ish years ago. Today you can get KDE apps running on Windows as Native stand-alones, but at the time, you first had to install KDE4Win.

digiKam was the first Linux application I encountered that was so polished and useful for what it does that I tried to shoe-horn it into any and every DE I experimented with, as well as installing it onto my windows machines under KDE4Win.

Her father, not his father. Situation is either stomach churning, husband is stupidly immature, and/or he’s always poking fun about something and went too far this time.

This is literally any site, including forums, lemmy instances, and more; ANY and all of those that allows the uploading/downloading of GIFs, PNGs, or videos up to a certain filesize.

The common 5, 10 or even 25 megabyte limits were one of the reasons these snippets became popular in the first place. Generally, you can e-mail such things as well.

That is to say, the federated version has been here all along. Certainly before tenor, giphy, or Vine became things, for some reason.

I think its less a question of the technical feasibility, and more of an issue that we, as users, don’t want more closed-source blobs in our kernels. Meanwhile, the publishers insist that they can’t open-source their anti-cheat code; Their idea being that if we know what’s in it, it will be easier to bypass.

Basically, one distro or a few(at most) may get anti-cheat integrated one day(like, say, SteamOS), but it will likely never be in your standard Linux kernal.

They could go the rought of kernel modules, I would think, but for whatever reason, we’re still having this conversation.

Those three years do nothing to protect you from those things though? No dating until you’re old enough to do so drunk? That’s ridiculously arbitrary, if not backwards.

Personally, I joined up from an entirely mercenary outlook; No delusions about accomplishing good in the world, but there were thing$ and experiences/training(mostly) I wanted out of it. Getting away from an overly-controlling/meddlesome family was high on that list.

I literally clutter my space in the vain hope that random mis-positioned object x will remind me to do task y. Blank wall isn’t going to remind me to do shit.

For the prequels, you want the Anti-cheese Fan-edits.

You added a “y” at the begging of the url which screws-up the link, but thanks. My own search had only turned up stale forum garbage. Figured I was out-of-date.

Don’t even get the Star-Ship Troopers fascistic bare minimum of Service Guarantees Citizenship in the US. You’ll find stories of veterans having to fight against deportation under the last several administrations.

The US is a crock-of-shit unless you’re born here, white, and to relatively affluent US citizens, and God help you if you’re anything besides a MAGAt.
