This only serves to weaken the Threadiverse further; even moreso than Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

I don’t support Russian fascists invading Ukraine, and do not want to support the growth of any instance with admins who promote Russian propaganda.

Tying the value of the company to the AI bubble rather than actual long term sales potential will just make the company’s stock price more volatile.

That’s just crossposting; in this case particularly useful for those who have lemmy.ml blocked.

Asking nicely? /s

The U.S. isn’t ready to make up, that’s the problem. Making up would be negotiating with European allies as equals, not undermining their foreign policy objectives in Ukraine or destabilizing the continent by pushing fascist propaganda.

The more countries that join it, the more international law breaks down by diverting resources from the UN.

Stremio might work better if usability on a smart TV is a factor. Otherwise, sites like P-Stream (Movie-Web successor) switch between a free array of online streaming servers, or one could obtain the releases individually via torrents, usenet, or sometimes archive.org.

Here WeGo is proprietary and not based on OpenStreetMap, but given that it’s the only option in the U.S. with live traffic data that didn’t stoop to renaming the Gulf of Mexico with fascist propaganda, it’s the one I’ve been using.

While their intentions are good, this will unfortunately probably lead to them losing their last two domain names.

I presume [UNTOCHED] is meant to be [UNTOUCHED]?

Not interested if it’s on .ml.

Valve is definitely the best and the most innovative, particularly in contrast to Epic’s attempt to bribe their way to success and intentionally ignoring Linux, but even the best have their faults.

Adopting the Euro is still de facto optional as long as a country’s government intentionally delays compliance with the five convergence criteria.

Wine can be set up in a similar way, but Valve’s default setup is designed to for use with Steam first and foremost.

A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open. A more open approach would have been to write independent driver software for the touchpads.

Valve’s far and away better than Nintendo, but has still designed the Steam Deck to be heavily reliant upon Steam to function. The Steam Deck is priced in a way that anticipates increased consumer usage of Steam, but in isolation of Steam, it would be more usable as a Linux PC if it were more software-agnostic.

Valve’s better than Epic Games, but they still have every incentive to keep users in their ecosystem with DRM. To that end, the Steam Deck’s Proton compatibility layer and touchpad driver are integrated into Steam, rather than functioning independently of it.

Using the Steam Deck is possible without buying any games on Steam, but making Steam the core part of the distribution inherently encourages its usage.

Edit: I like the Steam Deck, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out the aspects of the platform designed to encourage the use of Steam.

There’s understandably strategic reasons for undercounting losses, but actual Ukrainian army deaths are sadly about twice as high.

Thankfully, approximately three Russian soldiers have been killed for every Ukrainian soldier.

Tried it out of curiosity, but both server options threw an error. P-Stream or another option from the freemediaheckyeah list might also work, though I’ve found that Stremio with a debrid subscription tends to be more reliable.

He’s crazy, and therefore doing more harm than good in advocating for piracy.

Convenient that it’s only a “mistake” after people start complaining.

The Discord post also didn’t rule out continued use of AI in generating art, as they justified its use in the context of GOG’s limited resources.

They might continue using AI and simply be more selective about the output.
