Within any given tier of gaming hardware*, the main advantage of consoles is not price, but simplicity: They’re convenient and easy. They consume very little extra space (no dedicated monitor/speakers/keyboard/mouse) and require practically no technical knowledge or setup/tuning/troubleshooting effort.

But PC gamers get value for their efforts. The vastly larger pool of games and greater variety in hardware options are part of that value, but there is also the total cost of ownership: PC games tend to go on sale for lower prices, and hardware upgrades can be done incrementally (ship of theseus style). Over the course of 10 years or so, that translates to either more fun or more money left to spend on other things. Or both.

Perhaps this decade’s painful rise in hardware costs is making more people willing to invest a bit of effort in exchange for a gaming PC’s better long-term value compared to a console.

*(I mention hardware tiers because it doesn’t make sense to compare a Nintendo Wii to a high-end Radeon or GeForce PC, of course.)

Renouncing? Won’t that make it harder for the others to vote better leaders into office?

Isn’t this what Trump wants?

Just about anything in The Criterion Collection might qualify.

Here’s a convenient list, starting with The Pillar of Fire (1899):

I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.

For those who are unfamiliar with it:

NetHack is a bit like Diablo, but turn-based, single-player, very light on graphics, harder, and far more complex in game mechanics. People who have played it for decades are still discovering new things.

If I understand correctly, this could be exploited to escape linux namespaces, which which are the foundation of containers like Flatpak and Docker. Those were never very good security boundaries, but running untrusted code in them is now especially dangerous, until your kernel is patched.

No, it does not mean that.

Edit: I dunno why but this post is getting botted by a bunch of new accounts from Lemmy.org

The only times I’ve noticed lemmy.org were because of bad, bot-like behavior. Is that instance just a bot farm?

Raise your hand if you suspect the shooter incident was more like an orchestrated fundraiser.

Here’s how to appropriately mark a spoiler on Lemmy:

Maybe Lubuntu or some other distro using the LXQt desktop environment?

Um… Did you by any chance use automated dictation to write your comment?

batteries that can maintain an 80% capacity level after 1,000 cycles aren’t covered by the new rulings.

So most people who want to reclaim 100% capacity after 2-3 years of use won’t be able to do it themselves. How disappointing.

SCTP was going to do that too. It hasn’t seen much uptake.

SCTP has a major obstacle in that the internet is full of middleboxes that will never support it, because it’s not TCP or UDP. QUIC deliberately addresses that by being plain old UDP. Routers, firewalls, etc. don’t have to know anything about it in order to handle it.

Civilization? That would surprise me. Are you sure you’re not thinking of one of its sequels?

That makes sense.

It has some font size controls in Settings: Configure Akregator: Appearance: Font Size. I think these sliders apply to the article bodies.

It uses built-in style sheets for the size of other text, like headings, so changing that probably requires the program to be recompiled. In case you have those skills and want to make those changes, have a look in this file: src/formatter/html/style.css

2. Beginning on the date a digital game operator ceases to provide services necessary for the ordinary use of the digital game, the operator shall provide the purchaser with one or more of the following:

   (A) A version of the digital game that can be used by the purchaser independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (B) A patch or update to the purchaser’s version of the digital game that enables its continued use independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (C) A refund in an amount equal to the full purchase price paid for the digital game by the purchaser.

What was the trouble with Akregator? I think recent versions have dark mode, and older versions could be made dark with the right style sheets applied.

It’s not a perfect fit for me, but it works well enough that I stopped hunting for something better.
