- this is a member only article so people are going to mention the (pay) wall
- this is about a tweet from 2020
- what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?
It’s telling how you get downvoted, but someone saying the same shit about Apple in this thread gets upvoted.
I hate shitty practices like everybody else, but please keep them to the same standard.
As someone who found elementor the only thing that was working at the time - any suggestions to do better? I have no coding experience fyi
I see the problem, it looks like Amazon. Stop shopping there
Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3
The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven’t seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated
That’s exactly what they’re trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn’t have pricing clauses that doesn’t allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.
Idk any tech support communities, but you should try booting into BIOS to see if your storage drive is detected. If not, it probably failed (read: it’s dead, fam)
You could try to see if you can reinstall the OS but if the BIOS doesn’t detect the drive, I doubt the OS setup will.
While the data loss will suck, a new drive isn’t very expensive. Plus if you’re still on a HDD, it would be a good time to replace it with an SSD.
Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don’t really understand why people played HL.
Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.
I dove straight in without looking and thought this was more of an ad than some independent writing. Then I realized it’s the official blog. Oops.
If you’re into video walkthroughs or tips when gaming I highly recommend the SponsorBlock add-on to get right into the important bits https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/
It never was. It’s freedom of speech without having to fear governmental penalties, broadly speaking. Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.
Lol I was thinking of this one when I saw the thread title. Still, I don’t see a way to filter those out
Is the level in the demo? Gonna check it out regardless, I love games that are meta and turn themselves inside out
Has what you said been proven and documented anywhere? All I can find is threads of people claiming things, but no actual (investigative) journalism that covers these parts.
Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly. Still, I don’t mind being proven wrong if you got the proof to back it up
I agree with the general sentiment but it literally says it will update outside of active hours. So as non-disruptive as possible.
And the privacy toggles are set when you install the OS. You can untick all of them the last time I checked.
Sorry for being such a pedant
It might be the perspective but fuck they are shooting so low in the footage of blowing up the Ukrainian UAV that they seem to be hitting the residential buildings behind
Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said “what?” or a variety thereof? Good times.
It would make sense to require a company to release the code for players to host their own servers, which has been done by many games in the past. Not to continue to run it themselves.
That’s basically what people are asking for. Instead of not being playable anymore, give consumers the means to keep it going for themselves.
This could mean always-online having to be gutted from the game after it’s support ends so you can play it offline. Or server hosting files to host your own private or public server.
The goal is to have games not be impossible to play after X amount of time. How companies reach that goal is up to them.
As https://lemmy.world/u/efstajas pointed out, it’s pretty common.
Discord doesn’t sell your data. They repeatedly state they don’t in their terms of service, and they would be in big trouble if caught lying about that.
Edit:
Discord’s privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:
We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.
We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.
We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.
No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.
This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They’ve already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for “took people’s personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn’t do that”
Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to “sell” your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.
Thanks to a redditor for this write up
I couldn’t read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we’d share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss
