Google reacts angrily to report it will have to sell Chrome
  • I am curious how selling it would even work when Chromium is a BSD license. Or do they only have to sell Chrome and not Chromium?

  • "Windows Intelligence": Microsoft may drop Copilot in major AI rebranding
  • I don't think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.

  • Guitar hero on Linux
  • One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'
  • The multiplayer also works no problem without Steam. I own the game on Steam and I did a playthrough with friends who torrented it. They just had to keep the patches up to date manually.

  • How the success of Baldur's Gate 3 and Monopoly Go are driving Hasbro's "all in" digital strategy
  • On the bright side I would much rather see a Divinity Original Sin 3 than a Baldur's Gate 4 from Larian. Now they are free to do their own thing again.

    Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?
  • I didn't say or imply anything about behavior. Just that merely having the assumption is not sexist. I didn't even say people should have that assumption, just that it's statistically reasonable which it is.

    Your comment here does more to chase people away than what I said. Now I see why a lot of people block hexbear.

  • On the internet as a whole? Sure, you have a point.

    But on Lemmy I'm fairly certain the demographic is at least 80% male in the same way there's an over-representation of Linux users. If you assume a user is male you're going to be right the vast majority of the time. It's not sexism it's statistically a reasonable guess.

  • Is this true about Generation gap in Piracy?
  • You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.

    I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • Unfortunately the hostile takeover of the developer/publisher makes it hard to recommend buying. It's a must-play but not a must-buy.

  • The Disappearance of an Internet Domain
  • I guess by "cybercrime" they mean piracy, because that's the main thing I've seen .su used for.

  • How do VPN companies get away with DMCA?
  • PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That's less than half of pretty much every other provider.

    I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.

  • Apple couldn’t tell fake iPhones from real ones, lost $2.5M to scammers
  • If you want to do less math you can just drop some zeroes and say it's the same as making $70k while losing $2.50

  • Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube
  • +1 for MXroute. I have unlimited domains with 25GB of storage for $30 every 3 years. So less than a dollar per month. Looks like they are still offering it. It's more than enough for email especially considering the Gmail account I used for 15 years was under 5GB.

    I switched to them at the beginning of the year so about 9 months ago and have not had any issues.

  • The answer will always be no to any general question like this. It's not like the U.S. is a monolith. It's a culturally, racially, and geographically diverse collection of 350 million people.

    Grab 10 random people and the chances of all of them agreeing on almost any subject is near zero.

  • AMD announces unified UDNA GPU architecture — bringing RDNA and CDNA together to take on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem
  • Even on Linux where their drivers are supposed to be better, my 7900XTX has been crashing randomly for at least a month and it was only fixed in the latest 6.10.9 kernel release yesterday.
