minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto Games@sh.itjust.works•GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.English31·10 months agoThanks for saying this.
With recent campaigns and rants against digital media, people often claim that “you own the game if you buy a physical copy”. That always makes me sigh, because it’s false.
Not saying there are some advantages for some use cases, but I dislike hyperbole and untruths.

minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Can anyone recommend a lightweight, stable distro for a thinkpad?2·1 year agoIf you got a Nvidia dGPU I recommend PopOS. It gave me the best energy options and ability to switch between iGPU and dGPU out of the box. It even found new firmware for my T480 and installed it without a hitch.

He is a overall a good dude. I love what he did with his Sneakers:
As per Joe Pompliano, In 1998, when Shaq was on his way out of the Orlando arena, a mother was seen cursing at him. She posed the question, “Why don’t one of you s** o** a B****** make an affordable sneaker?” in front of him that made him wonder. He even offered her $200 which she violently refused.
The Lakers legend stopped to think about the enormous difference in the actual cost of basketball shoes and how much a typical family could spend. This led to his decision to leave Reebok and start his own line. A thought occurred in Shaq’s mind and he turned to the biggest retailer in the world, Walmart.
It’s been two decades, and Shaq has been selling most of his shoes at Walmart for $15-$30, compared to Nike’s $200 and more. This helped him sell over 120 million pairs of shoes.

minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•5 Firefox extensions for Android I can't live without10·1 year agoNo, it’s an android app.
I don’t like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it’s a no-brainer for me.
minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•5 Firefox extensions for Android I can't live without315·1 year agoI don’t see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.
Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?
DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.

minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•UK ministers considering banning sale of smartphones to under-16sEnglish12·1 year agoMore and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!
Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.

minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto News@lemmy.world•NAIA all but bans transgender athletes from women's sports. NCAA vows to ensure 'fair competition'21·1 year agoSports are divided by gender, because it’s easy. It has been done that way for a long time.
But how is a long jump competition between a 1,50m and a 1,90m woman fair?
It’s not.
People who want fairness should see past easy binary characteristics. We are tracking hormone levels, muscle mass, body fat and countless other statistics in professional sports. Why can’t we divide athletes in 3, 4, or more different groups?
minimalfootprint@discuss.tchncs.deto News@lemmy.world•NAIA all but bans transgender athletes from women's sports. NCAA vows to ensure 'fair competition'83·1 year ago“It’s unfair to have trans athletes compete with women!”
It’s unfair when I play basketball against LeBron, as well.
Bigoted people are making it about competition while holding onto the archaic division between men and women.
They could create other criteria and have 3, 4 … Separate groups. Making sports much fairer. But this is about oppression, not fairness.
How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?
Good answer.
