Thoughts on the self promotion rules that many Reddit subs have?

    It's a tactic for Reddit to avoid people hearing about alternatives

    Someone didn't check the context before commenting.

  • Why can you join Minecrfat premium servers with cracked bedrock but not with cracked java?
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 96%

    I can't speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They're designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they're not really comparable at all.

    Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn't that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

  • Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers'
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 100%

    I've read about this one. I don't know if it applies to games totally managed by other stores, but I know it originated with key distribution. The gist is, they distribute keys to the publisher free of charge, so this was so they can't undermine their pricing while still utilizing their content distribution systems.

    IIRC, it basically just says that base prices have to be the same.

  • (Opinion piece) Hello, PC gaming here: Are the consoles OK? With sales dropping and confidence declining, how close are we to the end of consoles as we know them?
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 75%

    This is entirely true, and you don't deserve the down votes from people who refuse to face it.

    Building an equivalent system to a console, without a whole lot of luck being involved as far as finding deals goes, is likely to cost nearly double. This is speaking from experience, my current mid-tier PC, which almost performs as well as a current Gen console, cost about $400, and without, as said above, the ludicrous luck I had finding some deals, would've cost about $600, as the GPU alone, one that isn't actually very good at all, retails for over $300.

  • a little exchange of comments with a MOD in lemmy community. Should I be worried?
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 100%

    I ran into you naturally, and let me just say, your behavior is uncivil. So yes, you should be worried about getting banned, you should expect a large amount of users (many with valuable input) to block you, and you should understand that it will be entirely your fault.

    I hurt a Mods EGO

    This exemplifies said behavior. You are self-isolating here.

  • Your Experience with Linux, BSD etc
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 100%

    If you're referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

    As for the proton, I'll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

    Edit: I'm using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so... whomp whomp I guess

  • Your Experience with Linux, BSD etc
  • Ganbat Ganbat Now 100%

    Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn't boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

    Once installed, though, it's been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I've had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won't play.

    Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

    So far, all that's out there is words. All the limitations on the game on Steam are still in place. I'd wait until that's removed to change anything.

  • So, on a user page, under the dot menu, there's a report option. Tapping this opens a Reddithelp article. I assume this is a leftover from Infinity, but I figured it should be pointed out since this app isn't attached to Reddit.

    Is this even still a thing? It seems to be pretty well dead. Poe-API shat the bed, GPT4FREE got shut down and it's replacement seems to be pretty much non-functional, Proxies are a weird secret club thing (despite being nearly totally based on scraped corporate keys), etc.

    Since the shutdown of SD on Colab, is there any option for running SD without disposable income? I know about StableHorde, but it doesn't seem to really... Well, work. Not for people without GPUs to gain Kudos on at least. It always gives a 5+ minute long queue and then ends up erroring out before that time runs out. EDIT: It took me a while to set up. but as it turns out, my best option is in fact my 10-year-old computer with a 2GB AMD card. Using the [DirectML fork](https://github.com/lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-directml) of the WebUI with --lowvram runs pretty damn well for me. It's not as fast as Colab was, but it's not slow by any means. I guess the best advice in the end is, even if you're on a shitbox, try it, your shitbox might surprise you. So take note, though, that running on 2GB Vram doesn't work for everyone, only the luckiest of broke mfs can do that it seems.

    So, I've heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and... So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it's timer to finish, close it and... Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad. Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

    I've got a big music library of CD rips that I'd like to share, but [my ISP routes my traffic](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apc6m2o24.png), meaning I can't forward shit to my computer. I can't change ISPs because I live in a functional monopoly and this is the only provider with reasonable data rates. Is there anything I can do to share? Thanks in advance!

    Unable to Subscribe?

    There seems to be some kind of bug with the Subscribe and Block buttons in the sidebar. They're appearing for me as nothing but text. Here's a picture with the inspector open showing that there's no <a> element at all. [![Image](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcbwpbw7.png)](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcbwpbw7.png) Also, this only occurs from the community view. Going into a post displays the buttons correctly. I don't know if this is a Lemmy issue or instance issue, all I know is that I don't believe it was an issue on another instance I was signed-up to.
