It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

• post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
• another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
• post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

I got them from Etsy

Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

…sure…

I have a very broad taste, so I play it all… except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that’s the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There’s niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because… I play it all.

There are no valid assumptions for port 80 imo. Unless your software is literally a pure http server, you should assume something else has already bound to port 80.
Why do I have vague memories of Skype wanting to use port 80 for something and me having issues with that some 15 years ago?
Edit: I just realized this might be for containerized applications… I’m still used to running it on bare metal. Still though… 80 seems sacrilege.

I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.

But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as ‘the old’. Now PS4/XBO is ‘the old’ and well… yeah… its been 20 years.

I think just the fact that we’re playing some of the same games as we did on 360/PS4 is whats keeping it alive for longer and out of the retro light.

I knew HTTP would make a return without its brother TLS someday!

Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

They did comment on the content. They thought it wasn’t too good due to the edits, watermarks, crops etc.

I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people trust Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious. Like I said, there’s no way to verify what that piece of text says and the people who would be interested in e2e encryption are also that kind of people who should know what a trusted authority is.

No :/ my server will probably die with me. My people are going to complain why homeassistant isn’t working, why automated lights don’t turn on and why nothing has been added to the plex library in forever. Just not sure who they’ll complain to lol.
At the end of the day, its my hobby and they’ll just have to live with how it was before. The hardware will be there if anyone wants to start up their own thing, but I don’t see it happening.

I never used WhatsApp, but what made people think they used e2e? I’m way passed blindly believing what any company says they do without proof. I’d expect some kind of key or certificate management in the app, is that present?

Heck… my default is still to think every website does plaintext password storage. I can’t prove it, but neither can they. Stop storing my passwords in plaintext lemmy! /s

This is the mindset I’ve adapted about the US in the last 10 years. This is the mindset I’ll pass on about the US until I see it change. Police reaching for the gun the second they get a response they don’t like is not good. This is not a society I’d wish to be a part of. Good luck Americans. And godspeed.

Not a blunder, technically its possible. You just wouldn’t want to do it as company policy. The reasons off the top of my head:

• user account security (even if you do secure oauth, if you don’t control the client, you cant guarantee whats happening to the game files or user account data once it leaves your servers
• resource exploitation (3rd party clients can do anything… even keep downloading games 24/7, automatically, to degrade performance of your system)
• service quality (you can’t ensure a client not published by you will be able to download and provide all game files and updates correctly whenever needed. this pisses off your customers and your partners - even when you had nothing to do with it since you don’t control the client software)

This can all be tightly controlled and locked down, but you’ll just keep asking yourself why not just make your own client. Clients for product delivery are best left as something you provide yourself. Nothing is stopping them from allowing complete reskins from the community though (like steam used to have).

From shit to fantastic.

I am puzzled… you present a picture of a human skeleton, yet omit the -h flag.

I agree, just without the religious dogma… I’m a person, its a tool… I don’t need a tool tanking me and I don’t need to thank a tool. That’s it.

I did it a few times, then got tired of doing it after every update. My hope was always Valve adding it to the system themselves.

So no support for Xbox one controller dongle (non Bluetooth controller). At this point, I guess they’ll never add it, even though steam link hardware had it…
Its an old controller now, but my philosophy is still to use the hardware you have instead of buying new ones. Ah well.

Good for him.
