I'm gonna assume it's a "lmao China" moment when it comes to copyright.
Huh? But I use Libretube everyday.
It's extremely ironic that the anime started to pick up when the games started to fall off.
As an American who has to hear about shootings pretty consistently, I'd like to say the fear can be pretty justified. I don't really know what it's like to live in a world without guns and their presence, so it's hard to imagine life without the necessity of them to protect yourself. It's just one of those things that's hard to understand unless you've lived in it I guess.
Does bro just get a waifu for buying an apartment? Lmao???
Honestly all I want is a Steam Deck Mini. Fuck bigger and more powerful, I want a small indie/AA game machine that's easier to carry around and use as a handheld outside of the house. The Steam Deck has been primarily a bed machine for me.
That's actually really good! I like that one a lot more.
The rebrand is great! I'm loving the icon, and am looking forward to seeing how this project progresses. I just have a few questions.
Even beyond a Linux client, how about a Linux server package? I understand the client situation. Microsoft dominates in the desktop space, but it's the complete opposite in the server space. Windows server is a super niche option. This severely limits the amount of people who can host this service imo.
I get there's a piracy disclaimer, but I do think it would just be better to change the "alternatively sourced" phrase all together. I feel that phrasing makes Gamevault a lot easier to attack for those who may not be fond of such a service existing. Maybe just say DRM-Free? It seems like the easiest way to dodge that sort of thing. Perhaps there's a better way to phrase it that I'm not thinking of.
Overall, an awesome project! I know a lot of friends who can't afford to buy a lot of games, and I've always wanted to share my library with them. It also made me think a lot more about how centralized PC gaming is nowadays. Nearly every seller distributes through Steam or Epic, and has some form of DRM. If Steam/Epic wanted to, your entire library or any game they chose could be deleted from the marketplace. Even if you have it downloaded locally, sadly a ton of games rely on the connection to Steam servers to function. Even if the games themselves are completely offline, or single player. Gog, Itch, and any other similar platforms are a rarity nowadays, and lot of the bigger publishers and developers don't use them.
Apologies for the text wall, it was not originally supposed to be this long. I hope you got something out of my rambling. I look forward to when I can run this when Linux is (hopefully) better supported and the project matures to a point where I can transfer over. Maybe I'll repurchase some games on Gog in that time. I do wonder how this'll affect my experience with the Steam Deck...
I really do feel that stuff like this pointlessly fragments the Fediverse. The magic is that Kbin and Lemmy can interact with no strings attached, doesn't it make more sense to just have a shared pool of communities irregardless of where they were created? Lemmy and Kbin posts just feed into eachother, I've used both platforms. I think it's pretty beautiful, as someone who's mostly grown up with the centralized, proprietary web.
I also wish that there was a platform agnostic term for communities, it'd make things a lot easier if they shared a terminology instead of making things more confusing. Though maybe I'm the only one who cares about that.
Are you new to Linux? I'm not trying to be mean, but I just want to know so it'll help me better approach the situation.
I use swww for wayland. I've seen quite a few others with similar setups as well, though I don't know how you do it on the Xorg side of things.
Thank you for the advice. Honestly, I'm a young 20 something that just wants to output creative stuff for people to read and enjoy. None of this really popped in my head, so thanks.
I still want to host my own site for it though, but I will consider the self publishing angle as well. Thanks for the advice.
