Sure, but we’re also the last state to have 3.2 beer. Come on in-Bev, bribe our politicians to finally end this!

I agree with everyone else saying this is probably an Alyx sequel for the Deckard headset they’re developing…

But if it’s legit HL3 it’ll be hilarious if they announce it on April 1st.

There’s actually an iPho restaurant in the Twin Cities. No clue if it’s any good, but the name is fun.

Or you could figure out how to use Wiimotes or Joycons on Dolphin - I’ve done enough searching to know it’s possible, but not enough to tell you how.

I didn’t think your question is as absurd as everyone is acting like it is. It’s absolutely a silly thing to do, but I think a lot of the arguments against doing so would also apply to Mastodon, and wasn’t it revealed that that Trump’s garbage dump was running defedded Masto?

If you find one, I assume there will be many more terrible choices beyond just using Lemmy, and it’s not somewhere you’ll want to be.

Found the Minnesotan, lol.

I’m honestly astonished they don’t require payment info on file to collect them by this point - initially it’s a way to bribe people into making an account, and now they could bribe a bunch of people into giving payment info and lowering one more barrier to actually buying from them.

Heroic is also on Windows and Mac. It works with GOG too so that’s one less launcher necessary.

I didn’t until I started using a VPN.

I’ve never seen captchas like that before, I wonder what kinda weird shit the next generation of captchas will be once we’ve trained the machines to solve these?

A lot of branded games are kinda awful cash grabs so I came over to Lemmy to see if this one was worth picking up - apparently so! Thanks for the recommendation.

Unfortunately, because it might be the only way to learn about an alternative treatment that wasn’t advertised to your doctor.

This was almost exactly my situation and I’m still in favor of banning pharmaceutical advertising to the public because those same ads that drastically improved my life have harmed millions of others.

I’m a transgender man, with a moderate needle phobia. I transitioned over a decade ago, and back then testosterone gel was basically never used for transition (the cost was significantly higher and insurance coverage was almost non-existent back then - I did have insurance coverage though) and there was misinformation around it in the trans community in the rare instance gel was discussed - but the only reason I or pretty much anyone else knew it was an option was the obscene deluge of ads for it. I asked my doctor about it and she figured out the dosing for me. It’s been a fantastic choice for me for a lot of reasons beyond just the needle phobia issues.

But testosterone replacement therapy, and Androgel specifically, is a case study in exactly why you don’t want this kind of widespread direct to consumer marketing. Androgel basically created a market for their drug through this marketing. Men in their 60s complained about not feeling like they were in their 20s anymore (without any other negative symptoms of low T) and demanded a medication that could have increased their risk of cardiovascular issues and forced them onto the medication permanently, and they didn’t even feel 20 again because they’re not 20 anymore.

Sure, but I wouldn’t expect an elderly user to be one of the people with the natural ability to nuke their OS.

I’ve daily driven Bazzite, an immutable distro, since July, and I haven’t seen the kind of Flatpak issues they talk about - or frankly any major issues, this whole experience has been way easier than Windows ever was with updates (it took me a few minutes to figure out Proton and Heroic launcher though). I didn’t know about the new Fedora update until I booted up and my lock screen was different. My experience is that Bazzite (and likely all of the other uBlue Fedoras) is fantastic and absolutely ready now.

That said, nothing is more stable than something like Debian. Unless you’ve got some hardcore gamer grandma I think the immutable distros are a solution to a problem not present in OPs hypothetical.

Just going to be the one to say it…

Ew, HP.

I thought it went into early access a few years ago?

Yeah, it’s got a steam release date of 2021 and it’s still in early access. That said, I also bought it early this year or late last year and have played a lot of it too.

(IDK where I’m going with this other than to say that anyone with even a passing interest in the genre should get Timberborn, it’s fantastic and just getting better.)

I got the fluvid shots yesterday because I needed to quit putting them off. I’m usually in for a rough couple of days even with just the flu shot, but apart from my arm being really sore I’m pretty much fine today.

Bazzite is fantastic and it’s what I’m running on my gaming laptop, but I’ve always wondered why you would want to put it on a Steam Deck? Is it for the people who use it as a laptop replacement?

And good news, Nvidia seems to have more or less fixed the second one a few months ago.

You could just do a live install on a USB, and you don’t even have to install to your machine to try it out. Debian has live installs available for both KDE and Gnome and should be perfectly fine for just checking out the DE (and most distros have a live option, check to see if your preferred distro does), just know that it will be slow and you won’t see that in a proper installation.

Edit: just saw further down thread, Mint can do a live USB but you’ll probably just want Cinnamon with that. Bazzite does not have a live boot, and from my cursory glance at possibly running both DEs it seemed to be a bit more of a headache on Bazzite than other distros. Trying Gnome on a Debian live install will at least tell you if you like Gnome.

And there’s a lot of ebikes on the used market that were stolen in the first place. I’ve been trying to buy an ebike for a while and it’s something that’s on my mind while shopping used. So the seller is even more incentivized to keep their mouth shut.
