Hi! I'm Tau. I like to play games and tinker with computers, specially programming and Linux. I'm very chill but also a little anxious about talking with people so keep that in mind! (Bridged mastodon profile: @Tau.im-in.space.ap.brid.gy)

Try using GameNative instead of GameHub, it's less sketchy

A Steam Deck is literally that price.
They've stressed a lot about making the machine affordable and they increase profit margins based on storage

it might be hard to believe, but Minecraft 1.12.2 is actually the final version of that game! any later versions of the game are actually a fork of it, known as Minceraft, that many people have been tricked by the developers into believing it is called Minecraft

I don't understand why they bother implementing anti-piracy protections. Meta is the evilist of companies, why would you want to protect their bottomline?!

You can still just install gog games o something else if you want on their platform (talking about hardware). It's not like apple or (soon) google which doesn't allow you to install other stores

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

This texture is showing compression so the original assets was clearly of high quality.
The amount of work doesn't scale to the quality of the textures, most of the work goes into the *density* of the enviroment: How many objects there are, rocks, etc.

If you can edit 5 minutes/day of a 60 minute video that means that you will take 12 days to edit it (which is okay).
Focus on going at a good pace which you can manage instead of going "a fast as posible" and you'll get there.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Hope it helps!

I'm sure many people have told you already but thanks to the Steam Deck and getting more time in the oven, using Linux is easier than ever. Because you mostly engage in writing and gaming I would recommend Bazzite as configured for gaming and you can't break it. You won't have to open the terminal

Rebecca Heineman is probably best known for coding 3DO Doom from zero in 10 weeks after being told it just needed "polish" - the licensee didn't understand what porting involved.

Since hearing that story, she's someone I've looked up to a lot. Now, she's got a different struggle...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EUโ€™s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Banda, que a la gente de la UE se le ha ocurrido la brillantรญsima idea de meter IA para leer nuestros mensajes privados. Hora de contactar con los diputados, que a este paso nos convertimos en EE.UU.
