  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • It's true, but it's Steam policy. If you haven't reached the threshold for the month, you are not getting a payment.

    damn, guess that's just how it is if you want to sell games on Steam I guess then :/

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • if this is true I'd recommend sending GamersNexus an email with the details as they might be able to help considering their past actions to hold companies accountable

    Steam policy rip, see comments down below

    at this point if Valve declared that they're open-sourcing Steam it'd be difficult to imagine any other marketplace competitor that could actually compete against Valve

    Intel's needs to put their pedal to the metal and open source everything as well in order to stay competitive within both the consumer and enterprise GPU market

    Mozilla Faces Privacy Complaint for Enabling Tracking in Firefox Without User Consent
  • Heads up yall:

    By deselecting/disabling everything under Firefox Data Collection and Use it should also disable Website Advertising Preferences which is the Privacy-preserving attribution (PPA) as mentioned in the article


    That and I would honestly recommend installing Librewolf as an alternative browser (it's Firefox but with privacy prioritized default settings)


    Installing as a Flatpak via Flathub

    sudo pacman -S flatpak
    flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.librewolf-community
    

    Installing on Arch Linux via Yay:

    ## Yay Install
    sudo pacman -S git
    git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
    cd yay/
    makepkg -si
    
    ## Enter super user/or root password when prompted.
    
    ## Package installs with Yay
    yay -S librewolf-bin

  • What if somebody wrote a virus that infected windows computers to replace the OS with linux?

  • What if somebody wrote a virus that infected windows computers to replace the OS with linux?
  • Even if it were possible, personally I wouldn't recommend using it as it would violate/contradict the system of trust and autonomy

    Forcing the belief of:

    • "you have to use Linux because I believe it's good"
      • "because I believe x means you should believe y";

    onto someone makes that idea inherently untrustworthy and the foundations of its origin would be unstable.

    My recommendation is that if you want people to use Linux or something because you trust it and want others to benefit in the same way; then it's existence and systems contained within it should act as proof itself and shouldn't have to be forced onto others

    Lawyers question whether a drugged French woman was truly unconscious during alleged rapes
  • Lawyers for some of the men accused of raping an unconscious French woman who had been drugged by her husband questioned her Wednesday about her habits, personal life and sex life, and even questioned whether she was truly unconscious during the encounters.

    that's absolutely ridiculous coming from the lawyers, what the fuck

    and reading the rest of the article.. was harrowing to say the least, so much nonsensical victim blaming going on

    If they've seen the video evidence and have seen no autonomous activity from her (if what she says is true), wouldn't you understand that none of this was consensual?

    Also Dominique Pélicot (the ex-husband)

    already said during the trial that all of the accusations against him are true, came out in support of his ex-wife, saying, “Stop suspecting her all the time ... I did many things without her knowing.”

  • Thoughts on AMD's Current Direction for Buyers

    [@BrikoX@lemmy.zip's recent post](https://lemmy.zip/post/22973459) gave me a couple of thoughts that I'd like to share;

    Preface

    Current Context (as of Sept 18, 2024): AMD's Reprioritization of Data Center Clients Over Laptop OEMs

    ---

    If AMD were to upgrade the consumer class to server class via their CPU feature-set expansion and partnerships, they'd have a higher likelihood of acquiring new developers to focus and develop AMD's drivers (esp on the Linux side; pending native support for developers) which could create a positive-feedback-loop for both AMD and the Linux community:

    • better Linux support on AMD = higher probability of adding new AMD Linux Devs
      • more AMD Linux devs providing improved Linux desktop experience = more Windows and macOS users jumping ship who would then also help improve AMD Linux desktop exp
        • (while writing, this made me think of SC2's Protoss Katamri Deathball)

    ---

    With AMD's current decisions I see:

    As a knock-on effect users would become more able to start new tech businesses powered by AMD components as self-hosting becomes more accessible via the AMD Linux relationship in addition to NVIDIA's albeit small but increasingly competitive strategies to enter the FOSS competition

    • FOSS startups are in an interesting position as the increase in competition from both AMD and NVIDIA in the Linux space is likely to simutaneously:
      • increase capital expenditures(startup costs) due to expanded mobo and CPU feature-sets (in context to the Linux ecosystem) but
      • also decrease long-term costs due to increasing feasibility for users to self-host their own services thereby reducing cloud-dependant subscription-costs

    As a systems analyst the current environment in the tech space really tickles my brain in delightful ways🤔

    ---

    Please note however: As I have no certainties about what the path lies ahead in addition to potentially being misinformed; please take everything I've said with a grain of salt in that all of this is speculation and are my thoughts alone (sadly I also have no insider information to provide further supporting evidence)

    AMD's Epyc server CPU gets shoehorned into consumer motherboard, overclocked to 6.6GHz
  • huh this post just gave me a thought;

    Current Context (as of Sept 18, 2024): AMD's Reprioritization of Data Center Clients Over Laptop OEMs

    If AMD were to upgrade the consumer class to server class via their CPU feature-set expansion and partnerships, they'd have a higher likelihood of acquiring new developers to focus on AMD's drivers (esp on the Linux side pending native support)

    With AMD's current decisions:

  • Laptop makers complain about AMD neglecting them, favoring data center clients
  • AMD is potentially letting RISC or ARM chip manufacturers enter and take over AMD's vacancy

    This is kinda insane if true?
