A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren't really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn't on the disc.
Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?
Pretty much every CPU these days has a dedicated GPU, integrated GPUs and APUs just have them on the Same die. So it's technically correct to say they don't have a "dedicated graphics chip" but it's also a bit misleading to say that, implying that they don't have or need a GPU at all.
Agreed, I really hated this description of PCs with only iGPUs or APUs since they are not "without a graphics card" almost all CPUs nowadays have some kind of integrated graphics solution, some better than others. It's just that in the past iGPUs have been laughably bad, which is why many people have needed an external one.
It's because not enough bigger instances have thrown in the towel and defederated lemmy.ml. Many people are able to ignore this issue when it hasn't happened to them which is why they still choose to create communities there. Defederation though is harder to ignore since it kills your chances of starting a community there.
Shameful clickbait article which doesn't even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.
Yeah I wouldn't say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).
Nicole is a well known spammer, they spammed DMs to many people here saying their name was Nicole and to meet them in various social spaces. They made hundreds of alt accounts on many many instances.
I agree, as it stands sh.itjust.works has one of the best instances in my opinion. At least for users who are new to Lemmy since it has the easiest signup and is also very stable.
I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.
Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it's like night and day difference.
It was disgusting when I tried it. I don't think it helped that it was wood fired so the broccoli and carrots were heavily singed. Was very gross. It also barely had any cheese on it.
If you could force users to use an app like Reddit does you could get device data. Though short of that not really. Browser fingerprinting and tracking cookie placement (What Reddit uses in their web session) is described that way by lay people (and people trying to fear monger or dissuade ban evasion) but Browsers like Tor or Mullvad defeat that very easily by not saving the data and randomizing the fingerprinting data.
Most Lemmy users wouldn't use a locked down black box app similar to the Reddit app though. It would be a red flag for many of them. An instance which requires that would not be popular.
It's more worth while to drum up support for defederation since that removes any instances who take it from being part of their userbase, and weakens the network effect they have here. Remember they're still dominating the Linux and Privacy communities on Lemmy and the discussion based fediverse in general.
Correction bans only work for people who respect the paradigm of "not being allowed to sign up again when banned" and "not being allowed to lie on registration application" if it's present on the server.
Normal people don't get permabanned from servers left, right, and center.
