Hi I’m Holly! My pronouns are they/them, and she/her.
Extremely opinionated and can write walls of texts for very small passions.
I’m also anxious so if I interact with you and then disappear, I’m sorry I got overwhelmed!

I see they’ve finally started the Extinguish phase.
I can see why Steam seems to have a monopoly on PC gaming. Pretty much everybody uses Steam as a launcher and store, and Valve has seen success with the Steam Deck so thats the hardware field also covered. They even managed to upset Nintendo when the Switch emulator was showcased lol.
A good size of the fanbase are also massive Valve fanboys, so there is a lot of brand loyalty, making the service have a larger presence than others.
At the end of the day, the fact remains is that there are other storefronts, launchers, and Valve has even opened up the Steam Deck’s specs and OS. Theres like, no monopoly there. I hope the parent commenter can eventually see that.
What monopoly? If I have to choose between GOG, Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Rockstar, EA, and others I am going with the least user-hostile, and the one that has Linux support.
Steam is the only one that actually cares about the quality of a service, so maybe look at that instead of crying monopoly.
Did it work? How about bitch? That one came up often when searching to see where I fucked up with my info.
My mistake, I meant .ml, accidentally conflated the two.
I do come across a lot of removed while browsing on my .world account when the blahaj is being iffy, not sure what that is from.
Some of them coughlemmy.mlcough has a swear filter
edit: world->ml
I love emoji, the haters will have to pry them from my cold dead hands 😤
Another vote for Obsidian. Markdown is powerful enough to be used anywhere. I’m currently using Obsidian with the Templater plugin to write. Entries I want published get copied to the directory I use to build my site with Zola.
SoftMaker OnlyOffice is a good option. I use it, and it works with everything I’ve thrown at it, including paid templates from designers. I would say the compatibility is 100% in my own experience. There is a trial available if you want to take a test drive before you set sail ;)
That’s fair. I’m 100% onboard the decentralisation train, and do my hardest to practice what I preach. In the event that the service does go bust, I can make a backup on a different S3 compatible service immediately as long as my working copy is intact. The likelihood of the backup service AND the working copy dying at the exact same time would be my cue to take up knitting.
Definitely 25 TB. I’ve used the service for a long time, since before they accepted credit cards. I attached my credit card one day and got a bump to 25 TB. Since that happened, I pay basically nothing and my account is still 100% storj token funded.
Edit: I dug up screenshots I sent someone recently
I use Duplicati connected to Storj with data volumes that incrementally get backed up once per month. My files don’t change very often, so monthly is a good balance. Not counting my Jellyfin library, those backups are around 1 TB. With the Jellyfin library, almost 15 TB.
Earlier this year, I recovered from a 100% data loss scenario, as I didn’t (and still don’t) have space for physical backups. I have a 25 TB allowance, so my actual cost was €0. If I had to pay, it would have been under €1.
Adding to the mirror list. Cloned it to my Codeberg and my private Forgejo instance.
I compressed the source into a tar.gz
. Here’s a link to that of the (at the time of writing) latest commit, 59140a147f
It’s replaced libgen and zlib for me, as there are links to libgen and zlib files at the bottom of most of the pages I’ve seen. Really cool!
Subtitles also help those with hearing disabilities, so subtitling should be considered an essential service. I can’t tell you how many retail DVDs I bought in the past of old films that had no captioning or subtitles whatsoever. Every now and then I’ll grab a classic film torrent and the subtitles exist on SubScene that didn’t exist on the retail DVD I bought more than a decade ago.
BTRFS on OS volumes for the rollback features and ext4 for data volumes because I have never had total data loss from ext3 or ext4.
I install them normally, using whatever WINE that came with Garuda, and have the cheek to launch them as non Steam games with Proton.
The same is done with games from aHR0cHM6Ly9nb2ctZ2FtZXMudG8vCg
Holy crap! This is a game changer, thanks!
I suck at math and believe that if you can think critically and solve problems, you can program. It is possible to learn how to break down a mathematical formula into its components and have the computer compute. You can’t proof your work on your own at first, but there are tools that can.
Depending on what you’re doing, you may even learn the math as you go like I did with game dev and vector math. Like any skill, it takes practice.
