Fonzie!

For about € 1600 non-smart or € 900 smart in NL.

Nah, 1080p is good enough, even moreso at a metre or 2 from the screen!

I mean, if your monitor or TV is 1080p, why should you waste so much more storage to little-to-no visible improvement?

I can currently visit https://itch.io/ just fine from NL, even without browser cache.

Is this already resolved, or is it only a problem in some regions such as the USA?

This is about making preservation a larger issue, that is to include “legal” preservation.

Also they don’t need any info from you.

Once Gabe is dead steam will do the same, and I am planning for that too now.

Why do you make it sound like Steam being decent is because of Gabe Newell, and not because of the culture there?
Oh shit no, Gabe, please be immortal!

“help patent trolls” is a very confusing statement, as “patent” can be a verb or a noun in this case. “help patent abuse” would be much clearer.

Genuine thanks for actually telling me where not to go

You can also run them using the correct Proton prefix directly.

ProtonTricks can help make this a lot easier and more graphical.

Millenials grew up using BASIC on Windows 3?!

Millenials were teenagers possibly learning coding starting from 1995, the world was using C++ on Windows 95 at best.

You’re not disproving their point, though.

If anything, if the opposition is like this, it makes them seem all the more credible…

Goodbye.

Man, AskOuija is starting to leak out

DDG makes it quite the statement that they don’t personalise your search in any way, to the point where you can pick which country’s tailored results you want from a dropdown.

I get that but damn, between a Switch or SD who’d choose for a PS5?

I personally already have a Switch (since launch), so many great games on it, which dimimishes the SD’s selling point for me. Those two really do thread in the same waters.

I feel like that’s cherry picking, like I’m comparing the cheapest Dutch webshop price for a new PS5 and it’s € 549,99 vs the Steam Deck which is only purchasable through Valve’s store for… € 419?

Wait why tf do people buy PS5’s here‽

FWIW, at least Nord and Express explicitly put on their terms and conditions that you’re not allowed to use their services illegally, Nord mentions a few usages including unblocking content that should not be available in your region.

They also give influencers like YouTubers and Twitch streamers scripts telling them to show how you can unblock content, but apparently the T&C weighs far heavier in court.

The Bowser headline looks ridiculous if you have no context lol

XMPP with the OMEMO extension is close, no? While Matrix isn’t distributed, it is decentralised like Lemmy and Mastodon, and E2EE by default. That could be the closest thing to what you mean?

XMPP; an open protocol that can be as basic as IRC or extended to support everything Telegram does and more. Decentralised (since it’s a protocol), and E2EE through OMEMO or by encrypting with PGP client side is something your provider can’t even have control over.

That’s such a cool backstory, thanks!

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ?

Crackers don’t do it for a living lol
They’re normal people with normal, often 9-5, jobs; who just bought a gamr and want to help more people get their hands on that game even through pay walls and region restrictions.
