Doesn't appear to be on audible UK - is it on USA?

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what's the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

Parity in this case would likely mean nearly everyone just buys directly from steam. No doubt Sony would infect the gaming process by injecting their launcher no matter what you do, but steam will get their 30%.

I don't know what Sony could offer on their own storefront that plays well with parity rules to make people choose it over steam.

But the thought of them operating their own store front and offering steam keys with every sale won't happen. Valve have stopped that in the past.

Surely debts are taken from your estate?

CGNAT is certainly becoming a real issue. In the UK at least legacy providers have millions of IP addresses in the bank and new disruptive providers do not have access to these except at extremely inflated rates.

When I changed one of these new disruptive providers I was unaware that CGNat would be imposed and all of my security cameras were no longer accessible. Fortunately they did move me off CGNat when I asked but they said it may not be forever.

Like always I don't think this will be dealt with in any speedy capacity, unless we get lucky and some correctly positioned legislator can't do what they want to do with their internet connection. Then it might get expedited.

I watched it with my kids and felt uncomfortable. This sort of video is not the same as elephants toothpaste.

I don't suffer through rober videos so my kids can now worry people want to drop bombs on them at a stadium.

Thanks mark.

Steam is a prime example of this. Not privately run it would have been bloated to extinction years ago.

Shareholders are leechers to quality. Dividends are not enough, the underlying asset must grow no matter what.

When Gabe croaks it Steam is fucked. It will go public.

I use Sync and don't pay anything. It's brilliant and the ads are basically invisible and rare.

Literally was the best Reddit app and it is a fantastic port to Lemmy.

You can choose to pay the dev if you want to. I haven't yet, but likely will if I spend more time here.

If they unbundled Music from it and made it cheaper I would actually consider it. I don't need the music, the family has Spotify.

As it stands it is more expensive for my family than actual streaming services.

I have an android phone and an android TV so I see no ads. However I have an iPad which I take away and the ads make me sad.

Is there any way to adblock YouTube on an iPad?

USB C was a hardware change. Economically it was not viable to run separate production lines of lightning/ USB-C phones.

RCS is a software issue. Supporting RCS in certain regions but not others (the US for example) is much simpler.
