Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?

Now ban everyone else (except Lemmy of course).

How did this work? The way I remember it HL2 was pretty much the first game on Steam. I remember it being really controversial because you had to install Steam to play the game even offline and people didn’t like that. It was like the original Rockstar Social Club.

How did the survey exist early enough for HL2 to be developed around it?

I tried to vote but it wouldn’t let me. Do I have to answer every single question? I don’t have an answer for most.

Can’t really add anything regarding linking the Steam libraries as I just removed all my games from Windows and downloaded them in Linux instead. I used ProtonUp for managing my Proton versions and I started up Cyberpunk using ProtonGE 13, and it runs the same as it does in Windows. I’ve got the GOG version and I’m using Heroic Launcher but I don’t think that’ll make a difference.

Have you got anything to work using that linked library? Maybe try just installing it locally.

But this is the classic Linux user mentality; Linux shouldn’t get easier, users should get smarter.

If computers can be easier to use then why should people instead sacrifice loads of time learning how to operate them? Most people have other things to be getting on with.

Probably just an automated system, they’d have probably given it back if you said something.

What’s wrong with OneDrive? I use it and it’s fine.

Let’s not cherrypick scenarios to try and pretend Linux is easier than Windows. Most normal people are nervous interacting with a GUI pop-up that gives them two options, never mind putting them into a terminal window where they could seriously fuck up their machine. What about clicking the download link on a webpage, clicking next a few times and having them software on your machine, compared to having to build something from GitHub (how many people here have never had to do that?).

I had to install Windows 11 on something a few weeks ago so I decided to do it without an account, it was nowhere near as difficult to do it as this sub would lead you to believe. Pressed a key combination to load up the command prompt then typed in a relatively short command. The GUI restarted and that was it.

I use it at home just because I wanted to try something different on my laptop, I really don’t understand what some people love about it so much. It’s bot terrible or anything, I just find it a bit clunky and there’s nothing remarkably good.

How do they teach the US emerging as a world power? I can kind of imagine them saying it just happened because they’re cleverer and harder working.

I also use DuckDuckGo. If I find I’m not seeing the results I want i just add !g anywhere and the search gets sent over to Google, though I don’t find I need to do that very often.

Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?

Archer T3U, a usb WiFi adapter.

Linux is the best it’s ever been but it’s still too complicated for normal people. Most people don’t even know what a VM or a driver is. I would disagree that drivers are no more of an issue on Linux than Windows. You can plug upwards of 99% of devices into Windows and they’ll just work. Barely and vendors provide support for Linux, not that that’s the fault of anyone really. I can understand why vendors don’t want to commit resources and Linux can’t have built in support for everything.

There’s also OVPN. They do all the stuff people like Mullvad for but they own all their own hardware and they’ve had their no-logging policy tested in court.

I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

About to head off to work but I think Netgear make one, but it’s like 6-7x more expensive. And it’s probably made in China anyway.
