Defending them from what? You haven’t brought up any real arguments for why Steam is relevant in this scenario. You’re just lashing out for no reason.

I didn’t know valve sells you hardware that locks you to steam

That’s for images though, not text content.

Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.

I think they limit it to upvotes for normal users

University students get free pro licenses for jetbrains IDEs I think

It’s just a variation of typosquatting as the author themself acknowledge. I always have to double check the package name when installing a new package. This just seems like a natural variation of it.

Part 2 is already 2 stories baked into 1, those two seasons could easily be dedicated to Part 2 alone.

I think it’s a thing mainly for hobby programmers and young students that don’t have a solid foundation/grasp of programming yet, which also likely makes up a big portion of programming meme communities.

My life is too busy to play games all that often, and I still have a backlog of games I could go through. Ignoring the ethical question of pirating, I’m not sure the risk of running unverified executables are worth the risk for most people.

The memes/absurdity is just about the only positive thing you can say about Trump

As interesting as the game looks, the 315$ price tag for all the DLC made me lose interest.

It’s not that I have anything against that sort of games, Total War Warhammer sits at a similar price tag and I got all of the DLCs until CA dropped the ball with TWW3, but it’s a real turn off as I’m not interested in doing the homework of finding out which DLCs are needed and which are not.

The hen can’t be alone with the fox or the grain, so it’s still the same.

Frame gen introduce input lag due to interpolation, DLSS shouldn’t produce any input lag as far as I’m aware.
