I’m curious to Animal Crossing’s upgrade. The loading time when entering rooms was too long on Switch 1.

Well, who is responsible for the skyrocket rise?

As a long time linux user, I’m happy to see that linux news are being posted in non-tech communities more frequently.

Windows might be the most famous (notorious) vendor-lock in, but migrating from Windows to Linux is more smooth than the stereotype

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade. Modern Linux is quite easy to start, compared to the old stereotype.

I highly recommend an easy way: for the daily softwares you use, you try to replace them with cross-platform ones, like libreoffice, thunderbird… when you want to try Linux someday, the migration path could be more smooth than you expected

I’m in favour in this change. It provides more flexibility to the commuters. Ar the beginning of December, one doesn’t need to calculate if a monthly pass can break even. Just tap and go, and the commute cost is always capped

Personally, my favourite site is liberapay.

They’re very transparent about the transaction fees, and they’re providing suggestions to reduce the cost (once per year instead of once per month)

According to their website https://en.liberapay.com/about/

Liberapay is a non-profit organization founded in 2015 in France by Changaco and Zatalyz.

On the other hand, liberapay is focus on donations, and they don’t have the fancy socialization tools at buy me a coffee

Wallet not safe. Filling up my shopping list now

I’m using Mlem since its testflight.

For now, I’m quite satisfied with the app store version

Good question. I found a comparison video by GamerInVoid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VODSVVkKRD4

According to their video, I think Ratchet and Clank is still playable on a PC with SATA SSD, but the waiting time when jumping between the worlds is definitely longer than NVMe

I think it’s a chicken-or-egg dilemma for PC gaming. Game devs don’t want to lose the big market of legacy hardwares, so core gamers can’t maximize their top notch PC’s potentials.

It’s hard to believe so many CEOs are so short-sighted. Comparing to the history of the fool, supporting Trump is not the dumbest play call

I can’t understand it either.

I’d consider the digit key cards as a physical cartridge requiring a huge first-day patch (as large as a full game).

Okay, I guess some of the anger comes from the limited storage of console and the high price of fast SD card

I like their passion with Hi-Res, but 10cad/mo is more than I could afford. I’m using stingray music. This Quebec company provides free music radio with advertisements.

My friend is using https://www.beanfield.com/en/tor

He enjoyed their service, but the coverage of beanfield is very limited

My local Costco is providing Romaine lettuce from Quebec since May. I’m happy for it and I’d like to eat more lettuce - it benefits my health too lol

This is a dup post, I’ll copy my reply to here:

I’m glad to find that Crypt of the NecroDancer is Vancouver-based! It’s time for me to buy DLCs for it. Besides, I’d like to buy their new product in 2025, Rift of the NecroDancer

Crypt of the NecroDancer is also on a promotion on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/crypt_of_the_necrodancer Rift of the NecroDancer (2025) is not on GOG yet: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/rift-of-the-necrodancer-2025

I like GOG for its DRM-free policy, and I’d support GOG for their effort to keep old games running.

We’d avoid perfectionism here. Buying a Canadian video game is great. Buying it on GOG is even better

I’m sorry that I don’t understand it.

By default, all windows/mac/linux laptops will ask users to set up a password for log-in. This is not sufficient, but much better than password-less unlock

I have a steam deck an I love it, but I don’t think using it as a laptop is a good idea. Unlocking a steam deck doesn’t need a password (by default), just like Switch, GameBoy or PS Portable. If steam deck is lost, sensitive personal data can be accessed easily. Besides, I’d expect a higher risk of losing a steam deck, as I’d been playing it on various places like metro or train stations.

If you never take your steam deck out of your home, then it sounds sensible to use SD as a laptop
