A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

Legality and morality aren’t necessarily the same.

They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.

Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny.

Ironically, .ml seems to be blocked in China.

Oh, cool. That one flew completely under my radar. I’ll have to check it out when I have time.

Are there mobile apps yet? Because if no that’s one huge advantage Lemmy still has over Kbin/Mbin, and it’s why I switched to Lemmy when Artemis started having issues (it went down completely since) instead of going back to Kbin.

Daggerfall Unity.

Lemmy doesn’t have a left-wing bias as much as it has a far-left and authoritarian bias. Though this heavily depends on instance. Continental European instances tend to be far more moderate than Anglo-dominated instances, probably because at least parts of continental Europe have actual experience with real socialism.

No, you don’t. That’s your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.

I read the books first, and while there are plenty of omissions and outright changes from the source material that I disagree with, cutting Tom Bombadil is not one of them.

It also doesn’t allow you to actually exclude keywords. Which can be utterly infuriating if you’re looking for a specific entry in a franchise or a lesser used definition of something.

Or just straight up mine that crypto on someone else’s power bill. Much less obvious, so people may not even realise that their systems are compromised.

What VPN offers 12 months for $12 and is there a catch? I’m happy with Proton but having something cheap and trustworthy to recommend would be nice.

As someone who enjoys modding - please don’t.

I usually don’t, I’d like to but I generally don’t have the time for it. But many people do play on launch day, as you can see looking at the player charts on Steam. You can’t say “gaming on Linux works, you don’t need Windows” and then have all these little caveats. For the vast majority of people something either works when they click “Play” or it doesn’t work at all. This is an enthusiast community, but most people just aren’t that.

And I’ll admit that I didn’t recheck Starfield before commenting. Nice to see, it was a no-go on Nvidia initially.

No, especially AAA releases usually do not, or least not right away. For example according to ProtonDB Starfield (and yes I know, most people here don’t like it - but I do) still doesn’t work reliably, especially not on Nvidia cards. And no amount of indie puzzle games makes up for AAA titles working hassle free and on day one for the vast majority of users.

We are running the latest release candidate for Lemmy, version 0.19.0-rc.1. This release candidate includes many changes.
