I can only assume that is the main reason for this change. Pitty.

This would be a good time to remember that horse armor that caused a shit storm for fishing like 5$ or something. Good times.

This sounds like it only boots Linux ISOs? I kinda need the ability to boot all kinds of images, only some of them Linux based.

Just in case anyone thinks nextcloud is the solution, it isn't. Can't do two way sync at all on Android.

Many that were filmed in front of a live audience still had a laugh track. Either to correct them not laughing or not laughing enough at the clearly excellently written jokes, or laughing at things they weren't supposed to was removed or dampened.

I would recommend "Sophia script". It is a highly customizable debloat script for Windows 10 & 11.

The only studio that I have to completely avoid because of this, who actually make games I'd normally play, is frontier developments. Think things like planet coaster, Jurassic world evolution or stranded: alien dawn. They also never remove it. I think I read a quote that whoever is in charge believes people will "get over it" and eventually buy it anyway. I can't speak for others, but I sure won't.

It's a shame, but there are other games in the genre(s) that are just as good, arguably better. And I already own more games than I can play, as the backlog seems to just grow.

If a game has Denuvo, I will just not buy it. Ever. I won't even consider it until it's removed. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often that games that interest me have it, but it does happen.

Since this can't be quantified, because there is no real way to get numbers on people that do this or similar things (except for "wild guessing"), three big ones (being public or backed by traditional investors) can't make an argument for not having it. So here we are.

Shame it's an SUV or something even larger.

Ad others have said, nextcloud won't rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I'm still hesitant to recommend NC as it's somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I'm willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to "well". File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don't get me started on Android).

Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, ... The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can't play, in real-time, if needed.

Edit: I realize I wasn't clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.

Hey I got the same precision scale. Neat.

"a few hundred more" for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that "lucky".

 

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
