Valve showed how to do this right years ago at this point with the Steam Deck.

1. Force (or at least put a sizeable number of devices to be available for exclusive) purchase through their own store.
2. Limit to only a single unit purchase per official account.
3. Require the official account to have already been present before the device was announced to be available to purchase.

Boom. Scalper market collapsed for Steam Deck, PS5, etc.

thx. fixed.

Also, what a fucking piece of shit Google is for doing that. I fucking hate them so goddamn much.

I immediately installed this extension in Firefox to auto-strip that out from now on.

I hate that this was my first thought… but just in case no one else was aware of this literal classic moment in gaming villain history…

Shortest vid I could find that shows the good parts. Didn’t really care what the intro was.

Fucking candy asses. Call Kyle Clark. He will show those absolute wieners how it’s done.

Bingo. Shield pro, and blacklist the MAC address of the TV and NEVER update the firmware.

I feel like I only know just enough about docker containers to get myself into trouble.

I’ve ran a few docker containers for things like Minecraft Bedrock for my kid and his friends and a local Ubooquity server and stuff like that but I’m wondering if anyone has made a guide for glutun VPN bind + an Invidious instance with tailscale/twingate setup you mentioned.

I am just an iPhone pleb who really loved using Yattee while it worked and assume a similar setup to what you described would allow me to point my Yattee to the self-hosted instance.

I’d wait for one of these.

iOS DID have Yattee, but it’s basically unusable at this point unless I’m doing something terribly wrong on my end. Every time I try to use it, even when signed in, I get errors no matter which back end I use.

Nah they still are teeball amateurs compared to Kyle Clark.

That’s the Steam Deck.

Because “AI” isn’t actually “artificial intelligence.” It’s the marketing term that seems to have been adapted by every corporation to describe “LLMs…” which are more like extra fancy power guzzling parrots.

Its why the best cases for them are mimicking things brainlessly, like voice cloning for celebrity impressions… but that doesn’t mean it can act or comprehend emotion, or know how many fingers a hand should have and why they constantly hallucinate contextless bullshit… because just like a parrot doesn’t actually know any meaning of what it is saying when it goes “POLLY WANT A CRACKER…” it just knows the tall thing will give it a treat if it makes this specific squawk with its beak.

FUCKING. CALLED. IT.

feel free to tell me how you’ll get 67 votes without compromise for single payer healthcare

Certainly.

The same way LBJ got assholes blocking his legislative goals to move out of the way : http://www.americanyawp.com/text/wp-content/uploads/Lyndon_Johnson_and_Richard_Russell.jpg

The same way FDR got the conservative leaning Supreme Court to stop blocking his agenda…

…And if that doesn’t work. I want some Machiavellian shit. I want Kamala to inform Joe Manchin that “it would be a shame if his daughter - who bought the rights to the Epipen were to have that shit investigated and nationalized under the Sherman Act since it is imperative to national security that emergency medical care be available at a reasonable price for all Americans who need it… that it would be a shame if the EPA came and investigated his yacht for potential violations…”

I want every single thing investigated and paperwork dumped on these ACTUAL shitheads blocking the good things ALL Americans should be demanding… and I want Harris at the bully pulpit clearly blaming and POINTING right in the faces of those blocking it… directing Americans’ collective righteous fiery ire where it is completely deserved, until they are TERRIFIED to NOT support her objectively magnanimous policy efforts.

Trump did evil versions of this every day in office - it’s how we ended up with Jan 6th idiots storming the Capitol. The good version is just basically telling the truth and not being afraid of the whiny ultra-rich donors and ghoul rat liar fake D politicians who aren’t loyal to her anyway.

No, we don’t need compromise.

No one wants compromise. No one wants the “one time mail-in rebate coupon” version of legislation.

They want simple universal non-means tested policies that work everywhere else in the industrialized 1st world countries that cost billionaires real money that they can easily afford which then provides nearly every other American real tangible life-changing benefits.

No one wants the compromised version of human rights. No one wants the compromised version of medical debt forgiveness. No one wants the compromised version of universal healthcare.

DO NOT compromise AGAIN.

If they wanna join that’s fine, but they come to over to OUR side.

We don’t move to them.

We don’t extend a hand. Biden and Obama did that with McConnell with olive branches like fucking Merrick Garland… and they still slapped the helping compromising hands away.

Please don’t fall for the Lucy football shit yet again.

an endorsement != they’re setting policy

You know that… I know that. Do the consultants and millionaire pundits in the beltway at the ears of those in power know that?

I mean… so many of the people on TV seem to LOVE pretending there’s some sort of fairy-tale “middle-of-the-road” voter that only wants a little teensy tiny bit of genocide, racism, federal abortion ban, and just a little tiny 0.001% increase in taxes for billionaires… rather than just fascists / fascist apologists (Republican Trump supporters)… and people who don’t want fascist bullshit (everyone else).

Did u/shittymorph ever end up migrating to Lemmy from Reddit? I miss them.
