Here’s what bugs me: Why didn’t channels like GamerNexus and LTT cover the petition until after Louis declared it dead?

And by doing so you’re normalizing your kids to surveillance, which is a big part of why privacy is being eroded

Firefox still doesn’t support tab groups on mobile. That’s a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser

Still in development

Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA

Plus torrenting like Peertube

Tbh, unless you’re downloading a DLC size mod or a big 4K textures pack the installs are nearly instant at the moment

Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers

Not sure if that’s supposed to be sarcasm

Wireless android auto hasn’t worked with VPN’s for years. It’s because the service is now baked into the OS, preventing it from split tunneling.

Switch to wired and it’ll work

Reminder to everyone that these are the same devs that raised a giant stink when GeForce Now released and originally let you stream any game that you already owned through Steam.

And in case anyone needs clarification: they wanted to force players to buy two copies of the game just to stream it. Don’t support bad behavior like this.

I’m not a fan of built-in mod managers. They’re just walled gardens that the devs have a monopoly on. It’s the biggest gripe I have about Factorio

Only downside is you have to install it for each game you want to mod,

Hopefully this means it defaults to a portable deployment. IMO if you’re using a lot of mods it’s simpler to have a dedicated install per game.

Granted, part of my setup is to toss all of the patchers and extra tools like DynDoLOD inside my MO folder. It allows me to just copy/paste the whole directory if I want to create mod lists for friends

Does it have collection support

There’s Wabbajack. But I don’t use collections as a lot of the modding community has some really weird preferences. There’s tons of mods that a lot of collections use to make Skyrim more like Ubisoft games, which personally makes me mentally gag to think about.

and can you download mods from in the app?

I didn’t know this was a thing and I honestly don’t get why this would be an advantage over just using a browser. I often compare multiple similar mods before picking one to add, and I don’t see how Vortex could beat a browser for that.

Mod Organizer 2, which has supported Linux for years

Or just pirate and emulate Nintendo games. They’re such scumbags that they make piracy morally correct

Games have also gotten massively cheaper due to distribute due to digital downloads being the most common, and they’re making way more sales due to gaming having a much larger audience.

The main reason these games have ridiculously inflated budgets are because execs are pushing for more management, which in turn push for oversized teams making design-by-committee out of fear of making something people don’t like. The gamin industry doesn’t get to make excuses anymore. Them being unable to reign in their development budgets aren’t our problem. They need to figure out how to offer games at a lower price, because they’re going to run out of customers willing to pay otherwise

Tbh, most AAA games are ass nowadays

Agreed. Also, there’s a lot of smaller 3D games that run at 30+, but end up being a bit choppy and tanks the battery life. Nowadays I just play 2D games on my Deck, then I get 3hr of battery life
