Probably a few more but all users of the Flatpak versions are lumped together no matter if they use Arch or Fedora.

I’m not defending Microsoft but to say that Stardock is sketchy has no base in reality.

Costs money but works with only minor quirks when switching between iGPU and dGPU.

I mean the choice between only two browser engines isn’t what I would call “free” though, especially since Firefox is also pulling more and more bullshit.

Gecko and Chromium are both fully free software. Old Edge isn’t.

He made a good overall point.

No. It was a very weak defense of proprietary software.

Just saying he is wrong doesn’t actually make him wrong.

Just saying that doesn’t make it wrong but the “argument” is wrong.

Doing so reduced the amount of diversity in rendering engines

It killed the last proprietary engine. It made the web more free.

That’s a loss for the Web as a whole.

You’re wrong.

Moving from a shitty proprietary web renderer to participate in Chromium development was an improvement.

Aber zahlen muss ein komplett werbefreier Kanal nichts?

Meines Wissens nach nicht.

Dann könnte man ja tatsächlich argumentieren, dass auf YouTube schauen dem ÖR Kosten einspart.

Aber dann wäre ja noch offensichtlicher was für ein Betrug am Beitragszahler die Depublizierung von Produktionen ist.

Wenn’s keine monetarisierten Kanäle sind, kriegt der Uploader nichts. Das ist ja auch der Grund, weshalb Tagesschau von Telegram weg ist. Im Kanal wurde Bannerwerbung angezeigt und es gibt keinen Weg zum Opt Out.

Nicht, wenn man unkompliziert Dokus verschiedener Quellen in eine Wiedergabeliste packen will. Ich brauche so etwas in der Richtung zum Schlafen. Ich habe Tinnitus, lebe aber gleichzeitig in einer Gegend, in der draußen gerne mal zu gottlosen Zeiten Krach ist.

Deswegen habe ich auch YouTube Premium und natürlich auch Sponsorblock, um auch die ganzen Abspanne wegzukriegen.

So nervt mich weder das Fiepen im Ohr noch der Krach draußen und zum Einschlafen und Aufwachen lerne ich spannende Dinge über Jupiter und was Kleopatra so tolles angestellt hat.

How many embedded DRM-controlled news article videos are you watching on your living room tv though?

Obviously it’s only a fraction of the overall DRMed content out there but it exists, most notably for live sports that TV stations stream for free on their website but require paid subscriptions when using streaming apps.

Then I won’t watch those, simple as.

Doesn’t change facts for millions of others.

🏴‍☠️ Well 🏴‍☠️ I 🏴‍☠️ don’t 🏴‍☠️ care 🏴‍☠️

Random clips on the web are DRMed these days, like news articles with an embedded video. Many CMSes just DRM all clips. Totally BS but I’ve seen the video frame staying black on a bunch of sites now.

“Kann ich frische Tassen zum Mitnehmen haben?”

Offizielles OK, klebt nicht und sind auch keine Kitschen dran.

Oh, the ones who made the last steam machine

Valve made no Steam Machine before the upcoming one. Are you confused and meant the 3rd party devices that were branded Steam Machines? Those were not by Valve and not by the Half-Life development team in particular.

and controller and supported them for 10 minutes

Steam Controller 1 is still fully supported and got Bluetooth firmware several years after release: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/353370/view/3931035846865617357

My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.

There is a decent chance the USB-connected charger/receiver for the Steam Controller 2 could wake a docked Steam Deck LCD, btw.

Which valve? The one that made half life? Lol

No, the SteamOS and hardware teams are actually different groups of people to the game developers.

People who connect TVs to the Internet only invite malware. They usually don’t receive big fixes after a few years and tend to spy on all watched content.

Pretty sure DRMed content refuses to play on those.

it’s for running x86 linux applications on android.

No, it’s not.
