WHAT IS THIS?!?!1? NUANCE IN A DISCUSSION?!? NOT ALLOWED IN 2026

/s

flinging upvotes to y’all, really makes my day seeing civil discourse and not “Discourse” on here. Keep it up, really this is what makes Lemmy such a great place

Make sure the app is set to “unrestricted” under battery settings. Most phones get really aggressive nuking down stuff that is not from FAANG

As far as my account goes, even when publishers remove games, I still have access to my files.

This is crucial for community led projects that revive game servers, like The Crew, Hawken or Blacklight Retribution.

Sony is remotely deleting stuff (or more accurately, threatening to do so)

Just to clarify: I still prefer buying on GOG but the catalog there is slimmer. Steam so far has been more aligned with their users’ rights.

The fact that a company loses a license to something in a game disallows them to keep selling them, not stealing them back from their customers.

Check the global total deployments, US is not the only place in the world with smartphones.

Never had graphene, but been using Lineage since it was called CyanogenMod on my Galaxy Nexus

Thats the trick, when a company supports romming, you can extend the support for however long you want!

Just a PSA. For voip to work you’ll need something like Coturn (TURN signaling server) which needs a gaping hole in your firewall. We ended up using mumble for ingame voice and jitsi meet if we need the other stuff (screen share, videos, whiteboard, etc)

The cat version of this

Fair enough. I was hosting it for years on a borked ideapad with like a 4th gen i3 along some other stuff

Read through the whole thing, you “lose access” to your stuff but it never mentions them deleting the content. Seems like the same shitty move Reddit did a while ago, “your” content in there is now theirs. Deleting your account just makes u unable to use/modify it.

Murmur (mumble server) is so light it can run on a smart toaster.

Same here, got locked out of my main gmail/google account and there was no real person to help me recover 10+ years of my stuff. Never again.

I remember back in the day getting my mind blown by the BB demo on a live Linux CD (Knoppix?)

I only know the library for doing this stuff is libcaca just because it’s libpoop in spanish

The cumulative hours we’ve lost screwing around with the manual placement spacial audio on Axon… When it went tits up we switched to Mumble tho

Mine does this too! He’d bring the toy right to my feet the first few times, then it’ll drop it increasingly further away from me

presses Ctrl+G to foghorn

If you feel particularly nerdy and love stats and graphs, here’s a rabbit hole for you

Ethernet with built-in netcat

I kinda use most of proton’s stuff. Also I’m not on the us so no idea what the second part means

It’s on my to-research list. I heard some rumblings that tailscale might go IPO. Not that’s bad by itself but I have been burned by stuff like that leaving me stranded once they “pivot their operations to maximize investor satisfaction” (aka enshittification)
