You do it elsewhere

That does leave the possibility of selling it to someone who does want to restore it.

Doesn't that basically equate to "yep, this is an android phone?"

I hope they made it impossible to mod. In my new but rapidly growing religion, "modding" (desacrating) games is a mortal sin. Elder Scrolls games have damned the souls of many hairy, soft-bodied men.

Well, they wouldn't need to release those changes publicly.

Protests against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians were happening under Biden and they were crushed and with very few exceptions given no support by the Democrats. They paved the way for the Trump admins actions against Khalil and others. Unquestioning support for Israel even against our own citizens is a bipartisan position in the United States.

Its not really useful to think of the Democrats as "the left." The left has no institutional power in the United States and is suppressed/coopted by both of the political parties.

Yeah, my attitude towards this is that if I post something, I voluntarily lose control of it. Post accordingly.

Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That's like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.

Then what are they doing here?

It's an interesting point that without any IP law, GPL would be invalid and corporations could use and modify things like Lemmy without complying with the license.

Aurora DX (which is based on Fedora atomic) has been the best distro I've used in a long time. Immutable OSes are great for general purpose desktop use! I set up a container for each development environment and never need to worry about conflicting dependencies anymore. But yeah, I wouldn't go with Steam OS for that. Steam works fine on pretty much any modern distro, so I don't see any obvious benefit to using it.

 

The entitled attitude and acting like there's something unethical about article paywalls makes me roll my eyes. Find a way to bypass it or a copy on one of the archive sites, and post that. Or post nothing. Responding with just "ugh paywall, how dare you/they" sucks.

 

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.
