I don’t know about this one but sometimes single player /co-op games utilise anti cheat to make sure players don’t use tools to unlock pre order bonus cosmetics they are not eligible for which really is as stupid as it gets. Legitimate buyers get spyware and decreased performance and pirates get the better experience
For me "+o for ö or /+u for µ is easier to remember than numeric codes, that’s why I like the compose key. I can look up a char and after typing it 2-3 times I usually remember it.
I already self host my own matrix server. Everybody can’t do that, but everybody can use someone’s matrix server. They can’t shut it down because it’s decentralised and federated. It would theoretically be illegal to use but I don’t see how they would be able to stop it.
Email with PGP would then also be illegal but impossible to effectively stop. That’s why the whole discussion is so stupid. It only hurts the normies. Criminals and tech savvy people will find a way around it and still use encryption without mandated backdoors.
I mixed it up with the other publisher that churns out yearly games I don’t buy
Oh man, you’re right. Maybe battlefield then?
As someone wrote in another thread: it’s not like I could give them less money
Most or their games aren’t even worth pirating and the idea of a Saudi sanctioned call of duty seems funny to me so let’s see where this goes
I use navidrome and scrobble to listenbrainz. That gives some discoverability. I think last.fm is also supported
Bandcamp even allows free streaming when you don’t own the music. But the player sucks
I use my self hosted matrix server and the signal bridge, that way I don’t have to do file backups. I found this to be more reliable and I also have the whatsapp bridge on there for people that I could not convince yet to use signal or matrix. Then I do daily dumps of the matrix postgres db and sync them to my backup space (encrypted of course)
Except in Germany you can chose from like three whole banks that participate
I must have missed that, can you explain what you mean by that?
Just keep playing what you are playing now. It does not get worse just because a new overpriced console comes out
