The problem with that is that all of these platforms also use the same big payment providers, meaning they're just as likely to be forced to remove these sorts of games.

They'd never do that, as it would severely limit their userbase. Throwing out a couple games, especially when it's ultra-niche stuff like "futanari incest" games, is the much easier and more sensible move for Valve.

I feel like the Linux Handhelds made by GPH in the 2000s are a nowadays almost forgotten piece of history, even though they were in some ways the predecessor to today's Steam Deck. So I wanted to create a bit of an appreciation post for this chapter in Linux Gaming history. Did any of you use a GP2X back in the day as well? For me, it wasn't just my introduction to Linux gaming, but also game development, as I programmed my first games for it using GLBasic. It was a fantastic machine for emulation as well, got introduced to many old games from the 80s and 90s through it.

No music, no images... two things that have defined Human culture for millennia. The Taliban must really love leading a miserable existence.

Smoking. Millions of euros of taxpayer money spent every year on those lung cancer patients which could be well spent elsewhere. It's also an activity that negatively affects not just the smoker but everyone around them.

I have no one to blame. I can’t blame my kid. I can’t blame God because it’s inappropriate. I have nobody to blame.

Should be very obvious to blame the person who left a loaded fucking gun in reach of a toddler...

I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

The wizard was called "Le Sorcier". Lovecraft wrote that story when he was 17, so I think we can cut him some slack that it wasn't a masterpiece.

The word "AI" has been used for way longer than the current LLM trend, even for fairly trivial things like enemy AI in video games. How would you even define a computer "thinking on its own"?

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

Because religion provides comfort, community and a meaning to people's existence that goes beyond "we were born of chance on an insignificant rock somewhere in the universe".

(I'm not religious BTW)

Smart speakers with personal assistants like Amazon Echo etc. Not remotely useful enough to be worth placing spying Equipment all over my home.

Wireless headphones. So now I'm supposed to recharge my headphones and get worse sound quality for it? In a few years they become e-waste, while good wired headphones can last decades. No thanks.
