  • I see. I would suggest looking up other environment variables the Steam Deck sets on boot, but since this doesn’t look to be the case, my second suggestion would be hardware spoofing.

    But even then, it just doesn’t make any sense. Why support only the Steam Deck specifically when it’s well known that Valve is updating SteamOS to make it work with other handheld devices like the Legion Go? Assuming they put some kind of hardware checking in the game initialization phase, why go through all this effort just to lose potential players?



  • He’ll probably go to jail, since there’s a ton of evidence against him and his cronies, and most of right-leaning here won’t pick a fight with our supreme court just to bail him out.

    The real problem is: he won’t really pay for his crimes in jail. Because he’s a retired army captain, he’ll go to a military prison, just like Braga Netto (his ex minister), and while in there he’ll have access to cable TV, expensive wine and cigars, and whatnot. For context, our prisoners have a miserable life here: expired food, overpopulated cells and threats from organized crime leaders. Bolsonaro wouldn’t last a single day in a common prison here, but because of his age and military rank, there’s no scenario where this happens.

    The only one who can make him pay is the devil himself, and I really hope he pays Bolsonaro a visit soon enough



  • Yeah, it’s easily one of my favorites, even though I’ve never finished it. I was deep into the third season, then I googled something about the show and discovered the last season got cancelled. I thought it was pointless to continue, since one entire season is a gap too big to fill with theories.

    Just another brick in the wall of cancelled masterpieces, just like the TF2 Webcomic.











  • Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

    Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

    Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

    Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).


  • Did he? I don’t remember him saying “I’ve lost, it’s alright guys” to his supporters. He’ve been saying there was a fraud in 2018 (which he fucking WON) and 2022 elections; he never came in public and said “Hey guys, could you please stop blocking roads, stop making protests all over Brazil and stop asking for a coup in front of the army barracks?”.

    After he lost, he simply vanished for almost a month, and neither the Federal Police nor the army under his command did something to stop the protests. In fact, an army general came in public and said to Bolsonaro supporters: “Don’t lose faith” - even though they were causing chaos all over the country.

    At last, we had Jan 8, which is equivalent to USA’s Capitol riot. Bolsonaro supporters invaded the congress, the presidential palace and the supreme court, and trashed the places (fortunately, no one was working there this day). All of these things wouldn’t happen if Bolsonaro came in public and accepted his defeat.



  • não estamos matando o fediverso por sufocamento?

    Pela sua lógica, deveríamos manter a federação com todas as instâncias, inclusive as que permitem conteúdo ilegal e imoral, pelo bem de aumentar a quantidade geral de usuários. Não queremos isso.

    Eu entendo onde você quer chegar com isso, mas acho que a instância da Meta deve ser tratada como qualquer outra. Se viemos todos pra cá buscando um ambiente mais amigável e sem os problemas das outras redes sociais, porque deveríamos federar com instâncias que querem replicar esse tipo de comportamento no fediverso?

    Estamos basicamente empurrando as pessoas na direção de algoritmos

    Acho que vale perguntar duas coisas antes de assumir isso:

    1 - Estamos divulgando o Lemmy/Mastodon para tornar ele conhecido e visto como alternativa válida?

    2 - As pessoas que sabem da existência do fediverso e não migraram, realmente querem fugir dos algoritmos?

    As pessoas que querem fugir do algoritmo irão buscar alternativa, assim como na última migração de usuários do Reddit pra cá; os que não se importam, vão continuar onde estão. Não podemos forçar as pessoas a concordar com a gente, só podemos apresentar a alternativa e torcer pra que venham conosco.


  • Não sou o ademir, mas vou tentar complementar.

    Desfederar do Threads apenas impede que eles vejam e interajam com comunidades, posts e usuários dessa instância. Mas nada impede que elas saiam do Threads e criem uma nova conta aqui ou em qualquer outra instância.

    O melhor jeito de fazer as pessoas saírem de lá é explicar pra elas os problemas de usar redes sociais baseadas em algoritmos, e apresentar uma alternativa. Se não nos ouvirem ou não gostarem da alternativa dada, não há mais nada que possa ser feito.
