Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on “Packaged items”, and refreshing way too often to see the same message…

Our distributor has hit a processing backlog for orders to Canada. We are actively working through the issue and will ship your order as soon as we can. You will receive an email with tracking information once your order ships

I’m hoping this backlog won’t be too long. 🥲

It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I’ve been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There’s a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.

For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.

A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That’s actually what I’m using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).

Wired is always better than wireless. You’ll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.

It’s been in my backlog for a while (it just keeps getting bigger & bigger…). I try to switch genre every now and then just so I don’t get bored of the sameness, but given the appreciation this received online and your comment, it’s been pushed to the top of that list haha :)

Almost done with Eternights. It has its janky moments but for a first game by a one person studio, it’s surprisingly good!

I’m also halfway done with Gato Roboto, it’s a great (but short) game where you play as a cat in a mech suit à la Metroid 🐱🤖

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023

1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
2. Don’t use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
3. People are angry… Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
5. ???
6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?

It’s always the case of a small group ruining the whole thing for everyone. Identifying and removing big dodgy paid servers would be a good middle ground without punishing the others.

Choice is great for the consumers, it means different options for different folks. You want Linux, you got options. You prefer Windows, same scenario. This can be applied for every other aspect; screen, size, controls, offline play, etc.

Lots of options doesn’t mean you have to buy each. Personally, I’m happy to see such a thriving market of devices.

Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It’s still far from perfect, but every step counts.

Switching between “Active” and “Top [1h/6h/12h]” at different times of the day has provided me with enough content & interactions to make Lemmy my new home. I always was a lurker on the old site, no comment nor post, not even an account. Now, I’m slowly trying to break from this habit. Being on Lemmy feels like I’m not shouting in the void; when a platform gets too big, you get lost in the crowd. It’s always nice to see recurring usernames on different communities.

…and no one is surprised. [KilledByGoogle]

Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it’s been great so far.

They owe you nothing, stop sucking corporations balls. You won’t be compensated for your “efforts”.

Bought a second drive to run Linux on my gaming PC. It’s been a month and I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows yet. I had some initial troubles during installation but it’s smooth sailing since. After owning the Steam Deck for 1+ year and already running Linux on my laptop, it was the last step towards ditching Windows entirely.

Go build a gaming PC.

Don’t forget the table and to use a Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it.

Congrats everyone, what a sight to behold! 🏆

Fillling both sides now, let’s keep it going!

VideoLAN (organization behind VLC) is in France, which is outside US juridiction. The methods used by VLC are authorized/legal. Software is also not patentable there. That’s why it’s still up after all these years. You can learn more on their site: https://www.videolan.org/legal.html

Valve, however, must obliged to US juridiction meaning they can’t do the same as VLC. Software can also be patented when meeting certain technical requirements.
