I just re-played the original (with mods to make it look nicer) last year. Hadn’t played it since like 1997 on PS. It was great nostalgia and still a great game, but obviously a bit dated in some QOL departments.

It is, however, a complete game and the story line is still good. Especially if you go into it blind. The entire materia system to give your characters powers and perks is legendary.

The OG game came out as an entire (and long) game. It’s complete. Major bonus. No bullshit having to buy a game like 3 times over a 15 year span just to get it all. Not to mention having to keep waiting for that 3rd game to release.

If you like (or think you may like) old school turn based rpg’s, then give it a shot. You should like it. If you don’t like those, avoid it, and if you haven’t ever played one, it’s not a lot of money to risk.

I do recommend getting some mods on it though. It can be made to look much better than it originally did during that awkward phase where they were making 3d games, but graphics weren’t good enough to warrant making them 3d.

With a generational ship and a shield and a way of blocking cosmic rays I think it will eventually be possible, but take a very long time. I don’t believe light speed will ever be possible, but going near light speed starts slowing down time a whole bunch for those on board the ships. So if for instance we came up with some trickery to get up to 99% the speed of light and wanted to go to a planet one galaxy over that’s 25,000 light years away, in theory the ship and the people in it would get there in about 1200 years. Even though it would be like 25,000 years for anyone who wasn’t on the ship. At 99.999% it would only take what would seem like about 115 years on the ship.

I’m not going to say that’s flat out impossible that it could happen but we’d have to find one hell of a way to cheat the system.

Alternatively, I think it will come about (if humans don’t kill ourselves off) that a person can “live forever” in one form or another. If we get to that point then pesky things like travel time and atmospheres and such will be much less an issue. I then wonder how long a person would want to be around before they decided they’d rather “self terminate”.

I think you personally don’t know what you’re talking about and are just guessing at what Valve wants.

If we’re speculating, I’ll speculate that you’re completely wrong and that most things that are up and running on Arch are going to run on SteamOS. GabeN has dumped a massive amount of time and effort into making Linux Arch viable and good for gaming. He also has enough clout that it will quickly become the most popular distro, or at least one of the most popular. To say it won’t get much compatibility for things like printer drivers is just silly.

But I do want to wait.

It does have amd, but I’m in no big hurry. Couple online games I won’t be playing after the windows dump and I’m not interested in dual booting. I have a laptop running Linux for work\office things already. The desktop is just gaming and media.

I used an apk called Relay when I was on reddit. Now I use an apk called Thunder on Lemmy.

My experience is almost exactly the same (very similar gui). Only difference is all the missing more niche sub\instances.

Lol. All sorts of typos. I should proofread.

I have one gaming PC and it’s on windows 10 till kike October or so of this year when security updates go away. Waiting to see if steam OS officially drops for PC so I don’t have to switch OS more than once. Already have it running on amd processor and GPU for an easy Linux switch, and been running Linux on my laptop for a while now.

I use the the apk called “Thunder” and it does a fantastic job. Much better than just using the website of here or reddit.

Just test it first. I got a faraday bag of Amazon and it didn’t work.

Nearly every liberation to happen in the past 200 years have used guns. It’s kind of a thing. Why do you think every dictatorship starts removing guns from people? Look up German gun laws from 1938 sometime.

The issue will be less about “range” and more about being able to go through a wall. Higher frequency makes for shorter radio waves that are closer together. The more this is done, the less it can go through solid objects and still be decipherable.

It’s like a sound wave. That big low frequency bass sound can shake your walls while playing from in your neighbors house. You can’t make out or hear a single word being sung, though. Frequency is too high to make it through to you.

This tech can be nicely used for wireless VR and maybe a couple other things that need to move data at super low latency at a local level, but beyond that, it will be kind of useless for anything over the next decade.

Samsung just does it to trigger Knox and not let you use some security minded things on the phone.

They also, however, have their phones pretty much impossible to root anymore. I don’t think most ever get a custom rom, because pretty much no one can get a Samsung phone to except one. I believe my old Note 20 Ultra is still not rootable.

Been using localsend for maybe 2 years now.

Super simple and absolutely wonderful program. Something that any OS on any device should have just came as a free and simple implementation from the get go, but instead they make it as hard as can be without passing your data through their grubby little fingers first.

LocalSend is the best way to move and backup your files without the cloud or a data cable.

Here’s Microsoft’s overview page of bitlocker. Show me where it clearly says they can decrypt your drive.

If you can’t possess the keys, you can’t give them when there’s a warrant. Microsoft designed a system that could obtain and decrypt those keys on purpose.

They started making shit TV’s (for their price) is why. They kept charging premium prices, but their quality of buying a TV that wouldn’t break like all the others dropped off a cliff.

Yes, but about 5 years or so ago sony started cheaping out on quality. You used to pay more for a Sony but the TV was better and more reliable than other brands. As of late, they still charged more, but they were just as likely to break or have problems than any other cheaper TV.

Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.

I felt I was being pretty specific about “the most popular”. If the most popular instance is dead, we got problems.
