  • Can’t pay, won’t pay: impoverished streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy

    跳过

  • It's ok, this is how capitalism works. When there's less demand then they'll have to drop prices. If your product isn't competitive enough then you'll have to find efficiencies and innovate. Those who can't improve deserve to die.... As capitalism deems fit.

    What's that you say? Blame the customers instead? Keep raising prices and decreasing content? removed please.

    Edit: swearing is censored here? WTF

  • Leaks again hint at Valve doing a proper Steam Machine Console

    跳过

  • The answer to making something mainstream accessible and acceptable is the experience for normies. This is where the Steam Deck really shines. Valve gets it. You say you don't get it. I don't fully understand peoples' tech anxieties either. But people won't install Bazzite or Steam OS themselves. Normies consider that to be akin to black magic. The Steam Deck doesnt even need the tiniest bit of tinkering. You literally start it up and go. And this is what has made it mainstream acceptable (even though the majorities of normies in my social group still need explanation......."PC games on a handheld? Is it like a laptop?, isn't the Switch 2 better?").

  • Piracy surges as streaming costs drive viewers away

    跳过

  • They could make a Steam style store for movies to buy individual movies that then stay on your account. Deep deep discounts on some oldie movies intermittently. People would eat that shit up and buy whole movie libraries to keep. Way more movies than they could watch (like people do with a Steam library).

    I've got my server more stable now so it works a lot more reliably for Jellyfin. Before now, my wife would wholeheartedly agree with this and insist on paying for Netflix

  • “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    When what you're selling isn't appealing, then people won't buy it. It's not super complicated.

  • Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2025? I'd argue yes — but with caveats

    跳过

  • Depends on what your usecase is.

    My brother wants to play demanding AAA games on a big screen. He doesn't see the point of a Steam Deck and is about to sell his.

    I play indie games and emulated retro games. The Steam Deck is perfect for me to play. I can sit with my kids when they play in the back yard. The hardware isn't going to go out of date for me for a very long time.

  • What was your first distro?

    跳过

  • The Ubuntu story is exactly what happened to me.

    OpenSUSE Table weed is what got Linux to stick for me though. Once I learnt enough with that to get started and my OS needed a reinstall, I ended up going with CachyOS too eventually.

  • What distro do you game on?

    跳过

  • Yes! Tumbleweed squad.....rise up.

    This got me started with Linux. Such a great first distro.

  • The RTS genre is sorely lacking. Even if they don't make a successor to the competitive multiplayer success of SC2, I would be happy with a good campaign.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    跳过

  • Look at the desktop environment first. KDE is like Windows. GNOME is like MacOS.

    Then look at some videos about how to get your GPU working on a distro you're interested in if you have an Nvidia card. AMD GPU works out of the box.

    I would recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Excellent implementation of KDE, GUI tools to do advanced things, rolling release (i.e. constantly up to date) but also thoroughly tested. Rolls back easily if something gets messed up. This gave me the least problems starting and I stuck with it for over a year. It was great.

  • Anyone tried cloud gaming?

    跳过

  • For home LAN use on the Steam Deck, the built in Steam streaming is very usable now and much much better than it used to be.

  • Dress code misunderstanding

  • First day on the job. I thought it was a formal dress code. Now they treat me like a pariah.

  • Watched a video about Debian and now I am not sure is the best for me.

    跳过

  • +1 for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

    I had noob problems with so many distros, and Tumbleweed gave me the least problems getting started. Good GUI based control with Discover and YAST. OpenSUSE really doesn't seem to get recommended enough.

    I follow the channel OP linked and he's had a similarly positive opinion of Tumbleweed (2 years ago).

  • Any security configuration advisable after install?

    跳过

  • While we have people giving input..... Any advice for securing a Debian server used for Docker containers? Using a connected Synology for reverse proxy to access apps.

  • Are distros really different or is it more about preference?

    跳过

  • Noob opinion: they're all the same, you're just choosing from the minor differences in the quirks one has over another and it would be easy enough to work around those if you were motivated to.

    The real difference is the DE, how quickly updates are pushed, good GUI on a package manager and if it is immutable or not.

    For noobs like me it also helps if it has a lot of users so I can find forum posts about my specific problem. Vetrans keep saying that online documentation is enough, but I wouldn't even know where to start with applying generic instructions to my installation (e.g. how is a wiki going to be able to tell me that my low framerates in Street Fighter 6 are because of split lock protections on my CPU). How would I diagnose the problem to know where to look? This is the major appeal of Debian based systems.

  • Gotta start somewhere. This cutoff might be arbitrary and nonsensical, but its better to let this go through and then argue to expand the scheme. If the argument becomes that "these people can't have this because everyone doesn't get this", then the govt will say that they don't have money to give it to everyone, so no one gets anything.

    Perfect being the enemy of the good..... Or something.

  • Despair of the politicians..... and especially not the people!

    What?

    I despair of the people, not the politicians. Shit politicians will always exist, it's people's job to make the right choice and vote correctly. I don't blame Conservatives for being terrible, I blame people for constantly reelecting them. I don't blame Reform, I blame people for supporting them. It's the people who voted for Brexit, I blame them.

    Same for America. They didn't have to vote for Trump, but that's what the people wanted, by a significant majority. At least the UK isn't stuck with just 2 parties.

    People, please choose better.
