That’s a separate issue from what I’m having. It only doesn’t work on my verizon cell service. Unfortunately it makes stoat not an option for me.

Yeah, I get “address not found” regardless of browser. I’ll probably be keeping a closer eye on fluxer.

Stoat, both its app and website refuse to open on my mobile data. I doubt it’s only happening to me. Teamspeak at least lets people host and have control of their own servers.

Another point, I am against purchasing the switch 2, as I am any new device using rechargeable lithium ion batteries. A large amount of the supply chain is mined via slave labor in Congo, and there’s not a good way to determine if it was or wasn’t. Better to use the device you already have.

I see where you’re coming from, but I think this attitude is rather shortsighted. Emulation is about much more than piracy, and I for example, run my switch library on my pc. I have my switch, and it’s essentially a game dumping device because I have such a better experience running those games on an emulator. Why should I spend money on another switch or a switch 2 to still have a worse experience than I’m getting now? Modding my games is easy, I can use and rebind any controller I want, and run most of my games without having to swap to another device. I also care about the long term preservation of my games, and unfortunately my switch won’t last forever, it’s already in rough shape as is. As far as switch 2, work on emulation now is going to make the preservation of their games long term possible. Emulating switch 2 doesn’t mean you don’t own one, or purchase your games, not by default. Ultimately though, even if someone pirates their games for switch 2, Nintendo is fine monetarily. They’ll be okay.

As a hobby, go in without expectations. Share the games you like, talk about things you find interesting. As a small streamer you won’t get a lot of viewership right away, but don’t worry about it. As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters.

Are you saying they aren’t?

They’re complying in advance of government demands, as these kinds of age verification laws are becoming more common. Even if their intent is to protect children from child predators, I can’t help but wonder how this is supposed to help in any way. There are workarounds for these kinds of age verification measures, such as using photos of others, AI generated faces, etc. If kids find themselves unable to work around the age verification, how likely do you think it is that they pursue other, potentially much less safe, social media platforms? How likely is it that a kid that swaps to a shadier alternative is going to discuss their experiences with their parents/guardians? All I see this doing is causing kids to move to worse regulated platforms where they will be less safe from exposure to predators, meanwhile the adults who do actually go through the age verification are having their privacy compromised. I don’t believe that this move actually has anything to do with the safety of children, and rather has much more to do with tying your legal identity to your online identity. The only actual solution, and I really do mean this, is for parents to be involved in their kid’s online lives.

I’m not surprised sonic rumble is having a hard time attracting players, I’ve quite literally never heard of it before. Did they even try to market this?

People are just now realizing that a mass network of always online cameras on most doors in your neighborhood is bad, actually?

I’m not sure how you managed to get that to function, I’ve tried many times to get any calendar to work with the one in KDE and given up every time

It doesn’t sync to KDE’s calendar app, unfortunately, but it does sync to Gnome’s. It’s one of the pain points I had swapping to KDE.

There’s no fights in the game that are based on chance, and I think you will have a lot more fun if you adjust your approach. Oh, I agree that there’s some BS, but the game provides a lot of tools to help. Each attack does have one or more “correct” response, you’ve gotta work out the correct answers then piece them together. I would never recommend grinding a boss for five hours, there’s other stuff to do in the game, or play something else.

I swapped to a retired office PC with Linux on it, using KDE. I use KDE connect on my phone to use the browser to watch whatever I want. Some increased scaling made the interface more readable from a distance, and I set the hotbar to hide when I maximize a window. It’s not perfect, but honestly it’s been better than any other option I’ve tried.

I don’t think it’s especially egregious for a company to advertise it’s new hardware on it’s platform. I do think that the form of system messages is unfortunate though.

Some of those issues are addressable, even though they definitely suck, depending on how badly someone wants to swap to Linux. I have a PC I connect to my TV, and while it’s built in wifi doesn’t work on linux, I was able to buy a PCI wifi card and put it in, which works. You can do similar for Bluetooth. Currently I just use it over Ethernet. For laptops, it’s a pain but there are USB wifi/bluetooth devices you can get. Fingerprint readers are tougher, I believe, but I feel less critical. Either way, use what works best for you!

In the case of dark souls, you can quit out at any time and your progress is saved. If you’re in a boss fight, it’ll just put you in front of the boss door when you reload your save. It’s saving automatically constantly. Bonfires are more for setting your respawn point when you die, and fast travel, among other features that vary from game to game. That level of tension can absolutely be done without forcing you to lose progress if say, your power goes out or you have to go.

Even with rules that describe appropriate behavior for law enforcement, we still run into issues. A lack of guns doesn’t stop what happened to George Floyd, and maintaining accountability against cops when they’re the only ones legally allowed to use violence is difficult. It’s a dangerous power dynamic, and I’m not convinced there’s a real answer. Most crime is the result of poverty, so I personally think that the best direction to go is a heavy focus on addressing the roots of poverty. Basic income is one option that can help, perhaps rent control and better public infrastructure/transportation. I’m for the idea of tax-funded housing you can apply for at no cost to you. At least, as far as what we can do on a practical level within our own system, as much as I would prefer more radical solutions.

If you’d describe those as lynchings, what would you describe what happened to George Floyd? Or Breonna Taylor? Our cops lynch people all the time, but have the position of authority to avoid all consequences. How do you ensure that the people who are allowed to use guns on people are “fair and thorough”?
