Do you believe the AI-driven hype of "if we just get enough data on people we can cure all ills and live forever!" or do you think it's just cope to spy on people and micro-manage their lives?

Good for them for standing their ground and not caving to pressure to sell.

Weird situation all around, as the ban really doesn't mean anything with over 200 days to appeal and no action taken to keep American people from using TikTok in the meantime.

It looks like PCs and consoles are on a collision course, and the next few years will very much be Valve vs. Microsoft. This isn’t to say either of those companies are hostile to each other. It’s more like both of them are pretty much reaching the same conclusion.

For the past 10 years, Valve has specifically been targeting console gamers – pretty much turning Steam into a full console replacement. They’ve largely succeeded at this.

Last month, there were 36 million concurrent Steam users online. And the Steam Deck pretty much proves that PCs can replace consoles in every way by providing a console-like experience. The reason they’re able to do this is because Valve has invested in a custom Linux OS that provides great optimization for the handheld.

Meanwhile, ever since Xbox started using x86 CPUs for the Xbox, it’s pretty apparent that this is almost a Windows PC. I say almost because, until now, Xbox has continued on the same walled garden path as other console platforms. But it seems as though head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, is signalling that all that could change. He’s talking a lot about making handhelds like the ROG Ally having a more integrated Xbox experience.

I can tell where this is going. It looks very likely that there will be an official Xbox handheld that will eventually run vanilla Windows. This is because, if anything, Valve presents a weakness for Windows as a gaming platform. And a good reason why many people use Windows, myself included, is not only because of the many games released every day for it – but also because of the impressive backwards compatibility you get with no other platform.

But if Valve has their way, this will no longer be Microsoft’s advantage. Already, the majority of Windows-only games are compatible on Linux – no thanks to Valve’s investment in Proton. If every Windows game suddenly works on Linux, why should gamers necessarily choose Windows as the default? Especially if Valve provides a more optimized console-like experience for those Windows games?

We’re living in interesting times!

#neofetch of my 2006 Dell Latitude D620 running MX Linux 23.2 "Libretto". :mxlinux:

Fun fact, the #D620 is part of the last #Latitude generation to not have Intel ME at all.

Okay, fine!

I’ll go watch the Fallout TV show!

I want a Fediverse where all my local government officials are here.

I want a Fediverse where I can easily find PC gaming nerds like myself, and we can chat about obscure games.

I want a Fediverse where my family is here and we can share wedding photos and wish each other happy birthday.

Right now, this isn’t the Fediverse but it will be.

Really?! Google is labelling a Geminispace search engine as a malware site?

I think that’s pretty dodgy on Google’s part.

The more I learn about the EU the more terrified I get.
It seems about as ill-intentioned as the Canadian government, with the same "velvet glove / iron fist" dynamic but actually has the competence to carry out their objectives.

Dear #Microsoft, #Netflix, #Google, #Apple, #Sony and alike, I don't have a problem with paying for my products and services.

What I have a problem with is paying for it, getting shoved a ton of ads into my face, being tracked, sold to anyone interested and then having to fight for something that was mine to begin with.

I don't know how you can believe this is in any way okay, but let me tell you that there is a tipping point which you probably do not want to find out.

Just played the unofficial Commodore 64 port of VVVVVV, which was converted by a Polish fellow named PaulKo.

Apart from the music, it is almost perfect. Dare I say, this might be one of the best C64 games ever.

There are six Home Alone movies.

The last one came out two years ago. It starred Chris Parnell and Kenan Thompson.

Any suggestions for good PeerTube (@peertube) instances that feature programming/computing content? I'd like to republish System Crafters and Flux Harmonic videos on a Fedi-friendly site.

Bonus points if the instance has live streaming enabled!
