They aren’t even saying that. They’re saying, you can’t sell steam platform keys outside of steam for cheaper than you would on steam. Because a steam key provides all of the services and quality of life of buying a game in the steam store (downloads, cloud saves, workshop, multiplayer, etc.). If you sell keys outside of steam for a consumer to use on steam, steam still has to treat that consumer like everyone who bought the game on the marketplace. Also, when you sell a steam key, valve doesn’t take the usual 30% cut of the sale. In fact they take no cut of the sale and STILL provide distribution and services for that sale.

No, it would be like Amazon saying that a manufacturer cannot use Amazon to ship goods sold on their own website if they’re going to sell at a lower price. That is reasonable. Steam keys are a means of distribution. If steam is going to provide the file transfer, cloud saves, multiplayer server hosting, community page, and workshop page for your game, then don’t sell your steam keys for less than the game on steam.

If you want to sell a key for epic for less than you list the game on steam, they do not stop you from doing so.

You’re a weird one. I donate regularly to my most used open source projects if they have a primary development team. But that’s not even the point. The point is, open source software isn’t usually published as a way to make loads of money. Usually open source software is created out of necessity or as a passion project. You won’t convince many Lemmy users that a corporate product meant to generate capital is the better use of time and resources by such a wide margin that we should spend our money on it. Jellyfin exists despite Emby closing source. Feel free to continue to pay for Emby. I’ll use the community resources that are on offer for free and are more than good enough for my use case.

Funny enough I actually meant to link this one, which is specifically for this purpose. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt5000/

That’s okay though because the guy I was replying to didn’t actually want the help. He just wanted to complain that people aren’t recommending his preferred software.

I really hope Emby pays you well.

I didn’t suggest I wasn’t using closed source software or even that one was better than the other. I said you are in a community of open source enthusiasts scratching your head as to why nobody recommends a paid closed source application that has a history of turning it’s back on the FOSS community. I’m trying to give you a hint and you’re trying to die on a very strange hill.

They closed source and started charging for features. That is enshitification.

Bro, if you want to use Emby, nobody is stopping you. Jellyfin is the popular solution because it is open source. Emby isn’t a project, it’s a product just like plex is a product. Both Emby and Plex started as free methods to host your media and converted to a paid closed source solution. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby from before they moved to closed source and remains free and open to this day.

Because Emby is a closed source application and Lemmy is an open source platform with community member who prefer open source solutions to closed source. Your out here screaming at Linux bros “why not choose apple??”

Configure one of these to sit between the TV and your mother’s network and pass all the tv traffic through an exit node on your jellyfin network.

Most smart TVs have a tailscale app you can install directly on device. Roku is an exception to that.

It’s the lane assist I believe. If it detected you using the land assist too much, it will send you those alerts. Essentially, you either drive too close to the lines, weave in and out of them too much, your sensors are bad, or your city has bad lines lol. You can turn off lane assist in every Ford I know of. Usually a button on the turn indicator stick. Check your manual though.

So like, another open source competitor to LM Studio and OpenWebUI? Roadmap lists Ollama support. Honestly, this is pretty cool. I’m not sure what all the whinging in this thread is about. Are y’all mad because it’s AI related? This is specifically a tool for you to use AI without needing to pay the data centers or the proprietary enterprise AI companies… Self hosting an LLM is exactly what we should be doing with it.

The phone makers want your data just as much as the government does. Data is money and power.

I think they intend to IPO this year and need to slow the hemorrhaging funds quickly to be more appealing to the stock market.

Move it to precious metals or assets that historically average flatter value through crashes. The dollar is highly volatile in economic crisis.

America had a king before too… Kinda why we are the way we are.

Im just here to read all the complaints about the name.

Only takes one Karen to make the news in the South

If you’re confused about the down votes, it’s probably the way you worded this thought. Saying it’s a man identifying as a woman, implies you believe they are a man not a woman and are only treating them as a woman because that’s what they want. In reality they are a woman who identifies as a woman.

I think you being downvoted and not getting an explanation as to why might leave you to continue the same line of thinking without correction.

It’s not a bad question to ask how this will affect trans women though. I live in a place where there are a lot of TERF women who might want to take advantage of this service and would be offended to be picked up by a trans woman.

I don’t feel this way about discord communities I’m in. Maybe you should join smaller discord communities and actually make friends there. Hoping into a small group chat every once in a while to chat and make jokes or plan a dnd session or whatever. Does t need to be more than 10ish people to be enjoyable.
