I’d also add automatic configuration for multiple monitors, perhaps as much as 3 or as much as tmmy laptop’s GPU allows for.

I’ve been doing some research and it seems like arandr has the best GUI for doing this.

Yeah I was waiting for someone to call this out.

I think there are specific machines that can scan even with large electronics inside bags. Not all airports have them, just as not all terminals nor security lines have them.

Thanks for pulling the receipts, I admit I was listening to a stream while this news broke

Rightwing?

Bro he was a centrist liberal, believing in things like Darwinism and class warfare.

He was likely triggered because of losing insurance around the age of 26 and the utter disaster it is to manage one’s own health insurance. Hence the lashing out at the health insurance industry

Pretty sure that YT account was faked, or mis-related to Mangione

Burn the rich?

Profit matters on a quarterly basis.

If a company gets the full profit of their game as they predicted they might in 1 quarter, then that’s basically the best case scenario.

If instead that full profit is spread of multiple years, then quater-to-quarter the game might look like it is underperforming, or severely so.

The timing of profit matters just as much as how much profit there is. Time value of money is a pretty useful concept in the financial world.

Economists cannot predict the future, as much as some people might wish they could.

Whatever break even point the devs of Anno 1800 considered when making the decision between releasing only on Epic and releasing to all platforms may have seemed reasonable at the time the devs were gearing up to release the game, but performance of said game is never guaranteed. Sure you may have statistics to influence things one way or another, but it’s still a gamble.

We don’t know if Epic exclusive + late discounts > full game purchases on all platforms specifically for Anno 1800, and it appears that you’re claiming which way that equation points with no evidence. Do you work for Epic? For Ubisoft? For Blue Byte? Are there public sources pointing to game sales? What research are you pulling from that considers game futures?

I will respect that you’re right about predicting devs’ decisions based on which way that equation points. Everyone is downvoting you though because you’re making it seem like you know the answer when clearly there’s more to this game, and financial gaming decisions like this.

You’re not an expert. You’re a chatter. Unless you can prove otherwise.

The commenter above you said that it’s a gamble as to whether a developer making their game exclusive to a certain platform and the payout from doing so is more lucrative compared to releasing to all platforms. It may be, or it may not be.

I’m not sure if we have the statistics of how well Anno 1800 did in terms of sales when it first launched, but the parent commenter said they obtained the game on Steam when it was discounted. That said commenter didn’t pay full price for it at launch to me speaks to how maybe Anno 1800 lost revenue by not reaching more audiences.

Point is: we don’t know if it was a double win for Anno 1800, or any game by any developer that is restricted to a limited amount of platforms. Don’t claim it was so unless you have evidence one way or another.

NewPipe, Seal, Spotube, AntennaPod basically

Edit: FireFox, uBlock Origin

I have my own irrigation bulb and had to do this the other week when my earwax was basically blocking my ability to hear at all. Think I got soap or water in my eyes before that to cause the issue.

I loved the superhuman hearing afterwards though, god haha

Usually vegans use the term carnist to represent those who engage in animal products full stop, rather than breaking down the difference into carnivore and omnivore.

To us vegans, whether you’re carnivore or omnivore results in the same outcomes. Plus, many conversations surrounding veganism don’t necessarily involve diets, such as with clothing, in which case again it’s easier to use a single term to describe everything non-vegan.

You might say that non-vegans is a good enough term to describe the above, but that kind of framing can paint carnists in a more benevolent light that acknowledges their freedom of choice, rather than framing carnists with regards to the outcomes they cause, and the victims that suffer because of them.

I’d add a place where you won’t get attacked or threatened while sleeping, and maybe where you can store your stuff that also won’t get stolen easily

Same… Sync is my life now

-485 is superior. Everyone knows it

Framework baby!!!

This is the way. First, second, third base and home.

Although doesn’t have to be every time. Can skip bases, go backwards, etc.

Currently on Windows 11 (yuck) and have a Galaxy S23.

Next devices I’m looking at are a Framework laptop and Fairphone.

The QR code sounds super easy which is a good sign. I guess most of my complaints rest with what a full FOSS and pro-privacy cyber-system would look like overall. I come from a Windows world so I have those household names stuck in my head, like Word, Outlook, etc. I guess I’m really looking for a guide that has a 1:1 for the entire OS from Windows to Linux, and maybe more if it improves people’s lives. Thinking Jellyfin and Bitwarden and all those purpose-driven applications.

At this point I don’t know what I don’t know, and I just wish that some of the awesome devs on Lemmy would post a guide to all of this, soup to nuts style. Maybe one day

God I wish I could learn more about this shit.

For all of the Linux and FOSS nerds on Lemmy, I don’t think I’ve seen one make a guide on how to have good digital stewardship of oneself. Syncthing sounds freaking awesome. Still feel like there’s a barrier to entry for me though
