idk but I’m here.
Its this one. And the reason is that if steam sells a game at $10 and humble sells you a steam key at $5, steam gets no profit and is 100% responsible for the bandwidth when you donlload it, for hosting the page, for the market, etc etc. Basically steam doesn’t want to assume all the work with none of the reward. Which I don’t really see an iissue with.
Yeah, I guarantee you google isn’t interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?
I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.
Well for me I have: RAM - 32gb ddr5 corsair vengeance MOBO - gigabyte b650 aorus elite CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900 GPU - sapphire Raedon rx 7900 xtx CASE - corsair airflow 4700d PSU - gol 850w can’t remember the model atm COOLER - Ek nucleus aio 240
That should leave you well within budget depending on storage. I have 2 Samsung 2tb m.2s. But you may not need that much. I run popos on it and have had no issues with it at all.
I bought everything listed during black Friday minus the case and psu because I pulled those out of my old rig. Total cost for everything but the case and psu, but including storage was about 1,900 after tax.
Edit: I see you mentioned not being great with hardware. You should check out pc part picker. It’s good for compatability. For the most part. It will NOT account for actual dimensions as they relate to the case, fans, RAM. Etc. You should absolutely read up on your preferred case dimensions, length of your graphics card, and fan size (especially in the case of using an aio liquid cooler). That said if you have room for it I do love the corsair airflow case. Plenty of room, good thermals, easy clean. Only complaint is that the psu slot felt small and it is a pain to get in and out. I guess Ideally you aren’t taking your psu out often so it won’t matter.
“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It’s like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)
I think that it does as of gnome 43+. Oddly enough Pop_OS ships with gnome 42.5. Which seems to have been the issue.
pavucontrol does seem to work well. Just need to choose an easier way to switch now. Thank you kindly.
Ohh what a neat solution, thank you!
Hah, what a novel name, thank you.
Honestly, the Reddit migration. I switched to Lemmy about 6 months ago. A few of the largest communities at that time were Self Hosting and Privacy related. Those naturally lead me to looking into Linux. From there I started minor self hosting on a Pi. Then, after a rather long walk through the Yongsan Electronics Market in Korea I built my own Homelab, and last week, I moved my primary desktop to Pop_OS. Honestly, It’s been a blast. A few learning curves, but the ability to have near complete control over my setup, and the increased self reliance has been delightful.
This is it for me. In particular as my hobbies shifted to self hosting, linux, and my own privacy, I find that lemmy is an incredible source of info and insight. But I’m not really here to meet or follow individuals as much as I am things that interest me.
Of course its innovative, imagine the room this clears up for more ads.
I had been using Ghostery Dawn for ages. Got the pop-ups. Couldn’t get around them. Switched to just firefox with ublock, no more ads. Can confirm it does work.
Apk support. Saves you having to get LDplayer or something. Would be great if you’re developing android aps.
But yeah the juice isn’t worth the squeeze in this case. I’m not switching till 10 goes eol and even then there’s a strong chance I’ll fully switch to linux instead.
It can be. I’m actually headed there in 4 days. Tickets this time around were definitely higher than usual but I managed to get them for $940 ish. Not ideal since the whole family is going and my bank account is hurting. Also not ideal was having to choose a 3am flight with a trash layover in dfw… but fingers crossed cheap shopping while were there makes up for it.
Speaking of plane tickets. As a man who flies to Korea to visit family every other year or so.
Always brows tickets in incognito. Airlines may change rates based on whether you’re a return visitor to their site and not having cookies can help.
Start with Google flights. This will give you an idea of when (what days and times) tickets are cheapest. Though generally Tuesday or Thursday are the answer.
Once you have your time frame use kayak or some other ticket agregator. This will let you find the airline and flight that you want.
Take that flight number and time and go directly to the airlines website. Aggregate sites like kayak rates are generally slightly higher that the airline because they gotta make dollars somehow.
Though not always I’ve found that some foreign Airlines charge native fliers less. E.g. if you’re flying Korea air change .Com in your web address to .kr. This makes the site in Korean but Google translate page can help here
It’s a bit of a process but I generally pay less than 1,000 round trip for flight to Korea and I live in a state with no international airport so I always have layovers.
Speaking of layovers. Use them. See a cheap ticket but it has a 24 hour layover in Paris? Fuck it, that’s a day in Paris :). Just be aware that you need roughly 3 hours in customs depending on your destination. So a 5 hour layover is gonna be a boring 5 hours. Long enough to wait, not long enough to do anything.
Bonus tip!! If you have good credit. Look for a credit card that offers a huge bonus or mile’s up front then immediately cash those in for a cheaper flight. Side note though on the ones that give you 5% cash back or whatever. You always have to book through them and it’s almost always, in my experience, like 5% more expensive. Fuck you Chase.
I hereby bequeath my Hentai Alt to my cousin Larry. May it serve him in his time of need.
I mean. Steam accounts are basically free. Just have a hentai alt account. Problem solved. Not that I would do that as I am a man of culture and refinement.
Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn’t want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.
