3·2 months agoAh, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.
Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.
Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.
Privacy dies in thunderous applause. Good job on voting in the conservatives and ludites everybody (or not voting at all)! A+ participation in democracy.
So, something the majority of people can never attain. Awesome.
Or are you going to hand me a plot of land that isn’t as big as a thimble? If so, sign me up. I want it.
17·3 months agoPirateSoftware was a blizzard dev, is a current dev, and is just basically lobbying against change. I don’t believe he’s being genuine in his arguments and is misrepresenting the cause or hasn’t understood it. It was possible to make games that didn’t stop working once a server shut down and it still is.
Being given a server binary isn’t a licensing issue unless you make it one. And because publishers and studios sign shitty contracts, doesn’t make it right, nor the only way to do business. If he wants to do business that way, do that shit in the US, but if something meaningful happens in the EU, then don’t sell your games there. Simple as…
We can file that under: expanding worldviews.
“Selecting a server is too complicated”. Won’t ever understand that.
Probably not. People will hang onto stuff because “everybody’s there” and “but lemmy doesn’t have enough content” 🤷♂
What? That sounds like absolute hokum. It’s like saying variable names change the data they contain.
Go is not an option? Zig neither? Even Java would be better (it’s used in high-frequency trading) than C++.
Rust is not the only contender.
I hope an opensource, non-C/C++ browser will pop up that can claw back from Chrome/Chromium. It’s about time.
This is what happens when you’re in a walled garden. You lose sight of what exists outside of it.
it turns out the PS VR2’s Sense Controllers are very flakey when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity. Even though I have the required Bluetooth adapter built into my PC, constant connection losses meant that I couldn’t even make it past the headset’s initial setup process on PC.
Bluetooth has always been a bad experience for me. The connection will always randomly drop. Sometimes I’ll hold the two connected devices right next to each other or lay one on top of the other and the connection will still drop.
Any device that requires bluetooth is an immediate nope for me and life has been easier since.
Why don’t we have anything better? I’d even accept WiFi (802.11) connections over bluetooth. Sure, they aren’t as energy efficient (right?), but at least they are stable.

How high can they appeal? This is just a district court. I bet it’ll take another decade until a decision is reached.
She can fuck right off with that. I have a mouse that fell apart because it used soft plastic, another one I threw away because I couldn’t clean properly (taking it apart to clean broke something), and now I have one from logitech. My parents have a mouse from (I kid you not) 1995. Brand is unknown. There were already “forever” mice out there, it’s just that now they voluntarily make them shit for you to buy a new one.
Just make mice like 20 years ago but in different forms (vertical, ball at the thumb), that can be opened to clean and repair, and we’re fine. No need for your dumb-ass subscription. Fuck off.
28·4 months agoAmazing. So much for “digital sovereignty”.Europeans, it’s not final.
What you can do to help
The budget decision is not yet official - so there is still a chance to allocate funds for NGI. It is therefore very important to contact Ursula von der Leyen (President EU Commission), DG Connect, to ask them to make the funds available.
Pressure is also needed from member states. Contact your National Contact Point (NCP) and persuade them to also advocate for the NGI funds to be made available.
