  • It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.

    When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.

  • Valve confirms your Steam account cannot be transferred to anyone after you die
  • Previously, if you shared your library and someone else was playing any game, they would get ejected from said game and be unable to play any other game, as soon as you started to play any game whatsoever.

    This made it more or less useless.

    Now they changed it to where you can only play the same game as many times as your family collectively owns it. So, if your family member plays a game you only have a single copy of, they can keep doing so, until you start that exact game. You may still need to activate the client beta for this, but it'll be active for everyone eventually. (Don't know if it is yet, as I'm using the beta)

  • Bing outage shows just how little competition Google search really has
  • As someone also using Kagi:

    1. There's a free tier, so you can try it out as much as you want (technically you only get 100 searches, but as with all free trials you can just make a new account)

    2. There's a cheaper tier at $5 now, which gets you 300 searches per month. Depending on how much you use it, that might just be enough.

  • European police chiefs call for end-to-end encryption roll out to include public protection measures
  • I know what you're getting at, but generally homes are actually built that way.

    Law enforcement can always go through any doors or windows if they have a warrant. You'd have to build a bunker to be save from them.

  • Please help preserve your 3DS and Wii U SpotPass data before it's too late!
  • I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn't really play anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

    The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I've never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading that it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two modded 3DS' and send my data.

    Even if there's nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.

  • Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays
  • and then they break it and decide the cost of a repair isn't worth it

    Yep, that was me with my previous phone, which I did indeed have for over 5 years.

    But there's another major factor to it.

    I use Android phones, which get official software updates for only a couple years (3 years for the most part). This includes security updates.

    So when I got my current one it was one of only two I even considered, because only those two manufacturers promised 5 years of (security) updates at the time.

    It has gotten better though, but except for Fairphone they're still all very hard or impossible to repair.

  • Download from Nexusmods without account
  • My Nexus account has a simplelogin email adress. Granted, it's one of the premium domains so the free ones may fail, but you could try that.

  • With a number of people moving to Boost, I'd like to give a huge thank you to the developer for Connect 💛
  • It's at the very bottom of the settings page inside the app itself.

  • my lemmynsfw account fell off my profile?
  • Mine vanished as well, but after I added it back it now works fine again.

  • I wish I could experience a game with the ambience of the Submachine series for the first time again
  • I remember trying to play those (and failing miserably because I of how young I was). Maybe I should give them another go.

    You might want to give the "The Room" series a shot. It starts out as just a digital puzzle box, but gets more involved as the series goes on and explores lovecraftian themes. There are monsters, but they're set pieces or serve to further the story and typically only show up for a couple seconds or so in cutscenes. I personally dislike horror games, mostly because of jumpscares, and I'm completely fine with these games.

    There are versions for iOS, Android, Windows, Switch and even a VR one, that is really well made. I would personally recommend the Steam versions, because they are a lot more detailed.

  • Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
  • I know that. And Indie Wiki Buddy redirects to the new wiki, while libredirect doesn't.

    I used ORS as an example. The same goes for most wikis I personally use. Path of exile, Terraria, etc. all have migrated to new wikis and Indie Wiki Buddy redirects all links from the old fandom pages to the new wikis.

  • Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
  • I have also used that in the past, but when I did it only redirected fandom to BreezeWiki and not the other independent wiki.

    For example, Indie Wiki Buddy does this, while libredirect didn't: oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com -> oldschool.runescape.wiki

    And it still doesn't say it does that. Am I wrong with that? Cause I'd definitely use libredirect if that was the case.

  • Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
  • For anyone who wants to avoid fandom: https://getindie.wiki/

    Redirects any fandom wiki to their Indie alternative which are in most cases the only ones actually being updated.

    For every wiki where that isn't possible because they only exist on fandom, it redirects them to alternative frontends, which remove all the fandom crap.

  • No Instagram Threads app in the EU (for now)
  • It's times like these where I love having a Gouvernement that actually cares about protecting my data.
