Yep that’s me!

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?

By those ideals, prisoners should also have the right to vote.

You are a mindless zombies.

Please tell me you’re not trolling, and have an actual working brain to understand your idiocy.

You are correct when it comes to both parties representing billionaires and both parties supporting genocides abroad.

Not all jobs are equal: not in pay, not in proximity to the people who actually carry out the orders of Leadership, not in consequences, not in collaboration with others.

For example, Biden has the authority to stop the transfer of arms to Israel, even after Congress has approved of it. That decision would have much greater impacts on Israel’s ability to carry out their genocide on the Palestinian people.

A McDonald’s manager has no say in weather those arms make it to Israel or not.

Different positions call for different levels of ethical consideration. Maybe the United Healthcare CEO should have considered ethics and morals more when he decided to prioritize profit over human lives.

Consequently, you could also make the same diagnosis for Biden because this whole Israel thing is nuking his legacy.

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.

I live in an area of the world that gets winter. My preferred form of exercising is walking, and fuck if I’m doing that in -5 °C climates.

Looking into some treadmills to potentially go with standing desks

How’s Proton Pass? Seems like I can’t download BitWarden from Fdroid, although I imagine there’s an .apk somewhere online

The great Reddit migration when 3rd party devs realized how much Reddit would charge them to use Reddit’s API in order to serve information to their apps. RiF was my shit.

I love Lemmy now though. Its federated nature, while abnormal and at times not the easiest to explain, has me hopeful for the cyberspace future that isn’t fully dictated by corporations. Using Fdroid, getting over the hump from Chrome to Firefox, and now the prospects of switching entire OSs from Windows to Linux are within my visibility now, when before I was comfortable in my corporate bubble.

Think the next thing I need to start taking strides on after Linux is privacy. I still keep my passwords locked under OneDrive Vault and a password protected OneNote. Should probably dump that and move over to keypass or some other password manager. I just don’t want to have to pay for a service right now on a recurring basis unless I choose to to support the devs.
