Sometimes people miss-tap while scrolling. Also, on kbin at least, you can who downvote things if they're on kbin. I think if you run your own instance, as an admin you can see who as well?

From my understanding, its only that bad with windows XP without any service packs, with firewall disabled, and without using any sorta of router that would also have security measures built in. I don't think its even reproducible on XP SP1, much less 7 or 10.

Of course I'd be surprised if there weren't people who stockpiled vulnerabilities in the leadup to the discontinuation of windows 10 security updates, so seems like a good idea to update if it has an internet connection.

Hopefully better VR support on Linux becomes a thing in the near-future. From my understanding, non-VR games are generally pretty good nowadays (bar a few games with extremely invasive anti-cheat malware that you probably shouldn't be running anyways), but VR is still lagging behind.

On one hand, the lawsuit seems nonsensical. OTOH, if a jury decided to side with individuals suing a major companies like Activision regardless of the specifics of the case, I certainly wouldn't blame them.

Wish we would stop using fonts don't think make a clear differences between I and l.

On top of all the quadruple-sheet sized cakes you are constantly moving around.

I have an asrock motherboard which doesn't like losing power (z97, so a little older than this one). Usually, I have to press the reset and CLRCBTN1 buttons on the motherboard, flip the switch on the PSU, wait 15 minutes, turn the PSU back on, try turning it on using the power button on the motorboard, maybe spam the reset/clrcbtn1 button some more and hope it works. Sometimes I can skip the PSU part, but not often. Think my model motherboard has some manufacturing defect related to the CMOS, because others have reported similar issues.

Forgot to mention I got it used, so should be comparing it to used consoles (PS5 looks like its still about $300 for digital edition, but doesn't really matter since the subscription is most of the cost anyways), so a used switch would actually be cheaper.

£83.99 a year In USD, the most expensive plan is $160/year. The basic plan is $80/year. Over the lifespan of the console, the basic plan plus the console itself comes out to about $1K. Already more expensive than a basic gaming PC (and much more expensive than a steamdeck). If you were gonna be getting a basic computer anyways, you could probably get a pretty reasonably high-end gaming PC with that extra money.

If the only thing you care about is the up-front costs, then consoles are cheaper, but at least in the US, that's not really true in the long-term (except for the switch) if you want basic online access. Especially if you are are going to own a decent computer regardless of whether you game or not. Personally, the only difference I would make between my current computer set-up if I didn't also play games is I wouldn't have upgraded my 9 year old GPU for $250 (3060ti*), which is cheaper than even a switch without accounting subscriptions costs (which is relatively reasonably priced at $20/year and a lot of the games I'd be interested in if it weren't for Nintendo are primarily games I'd want to play offline anyways, so the subscription isn't really that important anyways but the games like like $60/each...).

*edit: used. So a used switch would actually be cheaper as long as you don't get a few years of subscription or buy like 2 games.

can't buy in. As in the games aren't available in Japan via Steam. Original title gave the impression that they were locked to only be available in Japan.

If you can at least post text, you can at least tell people where to migrate to. Doesn't seem like that big of an issue, but not being able to migrate all of the post history (AFAIK) is unfortunate (hopefully something is done to fix that shortcoming).

I can see at least one feddit.de community via web browser, so do you meant just the feddit.de web interface stopped working, but people on other instances still can see it? Or is it broken in ways other than simply being able to see the posts?

How are communities affected by such outages? Do they stop federating, but people can still see what other people from their own instance post?
