Hi

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Sony is gaslighting you. This is why they want you to connect PSN: (www.playstation.com)

we collect the information that you provide by entering it into certain Service features. For example, when you want to post in a forum, you provide us the content for the post (which could contain PI which we collect and then display for you on the forum). Likewise, when you use other features such as voice or text messaging,...

So again, just because it standard means its okay? PSN, and really all major companies have proven they can’t properly handle our data.

You know we are on Lemmy right? Where the majority here are privacy oriented, and may even actively be doing their best to push for others in every aspect to fight back. So, look in front of you and see a gift horse in its mouth. Rossman, AH, lemmy, were fighting back and its starting to show it can work.

Does installing it on Linux not negate this problem significantly?

You speak so high and might as if its incomprehensible that someone might enjoy this on say, a Steam Deck? Where that risk is significantly mitigated. It was entirely optional to have Sony at the start, its unacceptable that has changed.

Its just what trolls are famous for, is it not ? Being a joke on the internet ?

Have a backbone for once, care about something in the world, maybe if the trend continues they’ll help you next time. Or don’t, and we will continue to have no one wanting to help no one.

Not sure if that last bit is meant as a joke, and while id love to see anything like that happen… I don’t think they would stand a chance saying that, considering AH most likely new from the get go that PSN was not going to be optional, and should not have hidden that info away.

Also, what the fuck is up with them selling the game in other countries, if it truly was “mandatory from the get go” thats the part I just don’t get.

See the only part I don’t get is, if it was truly mandatory from the get go, why did they sell it in regions not supported by PSN?

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

All of that sounds so insanely illegal. Selling a game that by all intents and purposes, doesn’t work in your region.

Youre constantly forcing your trunk closed? That doesn’t sound normal to me actually, and sounds like the opposite of what I would want. Hello, groceries, important things, stuff I don’t want stolen so goes in the trunk?

Zoot,

If it was mandatory from the start then it shouldn’t have been sold in the countries PSN has deemed unfit. The argument kinda falls apart from there. Probably not even legal to do so, the singlehandedly most scummy move anyone could do though.

Think about it, its mandatory, and you Jo Schmo living in Kazakhstan get to play for months, and now nope. Just nope, they straight lied to your face, took your money happily, rode on the success from you adding to the “total players”, then took it all away.

Mandatory my ass.

Thats my favorite part. Used to be my goto for fast food!

People are constantly pushing others toward Linux, because its nothing like it used to be. Id never touched a terminal screen besides a run command in Windows. I still haven’t had to touch when, except for making monecraft work a long time ago. (Which was as easy as copy pasting the commands by the way, and I was not at all doing something typical. Yet the guides were there.)

I can say however, finding a fix on Linux is significantly easier than it can be on windows. Just like any os, you’re gonna find times where you’re alone.

Id say a steam deck is like a console. You turn it on, and you play games. A windows machine at the start is nothing like a console. Updates, forced updates, intrusive AI’s, constant suggestions, nothing is straight forward to me.

Maybe that’s just because I haven’t had to use Windows in the last 5 years, but thats been my experience any time I fire up my desktop.

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

Yes, those are all things you’ve done now that you’ve set up your windows machine. Those are all steps you took to make life easier, what I’m saying is that requiring those steps makes Windows nothing like my steam deck.

I literally powered it on the first time I got it, installed a game, and played. I can’t say that about a windows machine, ever.

Youre completely right! Yet crypto really doesn’t seem like the right answer here either. Using more energy than several nations for an unstable currency is just not something thats gonna take off. Even if we had unlimited energy, crypto will continue to require more and more making it entirely infeasible.

I came from RiF and used Connect for a long time. It had issues with always bringing you back to the top of the page when you would leave the app. Eventually I’ve settled on Boost, and immediately paid for just on the basis that it reminded me so much of RiF (and it works!)

You do understand that all materials degrade right? Something that needs to block put particles so incredibly small isn’t going to be reusable. In a medical setting you would likely not want to have to handle the contaminated filter anyways, so being able to replace one with 100% efficiency would sound like the right move.

Generally speaking the threshold for when money becomes evil, is when you’re actively defending, hoarding, and even lashing out at poor people for dare saying you could be using the money better.

If you truly have millions then you could just as easily donate to food shelters, help lobby for laws that don’t ban homelessness, you could even use that money to defend the people who are being squashed by the wealthy.

There are millions of things to do with your millions of dollars, that also won’t leave you broke. Its sad to think you equate helping/donating = becoming poor.

Id like to know what means “too much fiddling”. So far in my steam library of 400+ games, there has only been one that didn’t work with my Steam Deck, and it was because the Devs chose Kernel Level Anticheat over making the game available to Linux users.

Hell, the most “fiddling” i do, is “Add game as a non-steam game” through lutris so my controller works in gaming mode. Or maybe I have to change the graphics preset from high to low? If thats too much fiddling than yeah, I guess I’d be curious what you do on windows that isn’t considered fiddling.

You are right, my apologies.

Generally if the lock is horizontal its supposed to mean locked. You can flip this on most common locks, but then its backwards. It makes sense from a visual perspective to have vertical unlock, horizontal lock.

Those shitty soap operas generally get views, and it also goes to show that a cartoon is even more rare. The Simpsons is alright, and people clearly do watch it if its still running. Hell, most good shows only get 3 to 5 seasons now if they’re lucky!

Great game, completely web based. Has an extremely active community, and is coming up on its 20th anniversary. If you want more details, help, or anything at all just message me In-Game as Zoot.

I’ve found most everyone is incredibly friendly. You may accidentally be democratized on occasion, but as long as you always believe its an accident you’ll be fine.

Make sure to hug at evac, and hug before being sent to the planet. You never know if its the last time you’ll get to see your brothers.

I used this from the article, hopefully I filled in the blanks correctly.

You said your kid uses discord? So you’re completely fine with all of their messages being fair share for anyone to view, and you having no say in the matter?
