It does have a specific niche: users of OLED models that just want to play “backups” and don’t want to bother soldering chips to their products. A few people will like the hassle-free multicarts.

Not sure if running from the cart slot is permitted to even detect anything not properly signed by Nintendo. Which means this one is squarely for “backups” and nothing else.

Correct! The newer models (including all OLED versions) were already patched from the factory (or more accurately, redesigned to prevent the soft-mod from working).

…and makes playing Destiny 2 impossible, unfortunately.

I would have played on Linux a bit more if I had enough space on my partition. Good thing I recently updated to 2 terabytes!

Well, if you talk about the newest AI-powered UTAU voicebanks, that’s because the developers finally thought about crossing the streams, and instead of having the singers merely pronounce syllables in several pitches, they used that data (expanded to also include several syllable clusters) to train an AI. Unlike most trained AI models, where the voice samples are recorded from live performances, so they vary in quality and on data points for each individual syllable, these have the full set of voice training data prerecorded by design, so the quality of every possible combination of phonemes is as clear as possible.

Lucky you, that you managed to make Epic run properly over Linux!

My only complaint about GOG is that developers treat it as an afterthought. Plenty of games that stop receiving updates, or are pulled out of the store entirely, while the Steam version remains maintained. Also, the required lack of DRM makes multiplayer online games relatively scarce.

More accurately: the games have support for Xbox styled controllers, because Windows ships with support for that. However, they usually don’t have support for PlayStation controllers unless the game actively adds support for them, or Steam Input deals with converting the controller inputs to Xbox format on the fly. Most of the time, Epic exclusives do neither of the above.

I know about its existence, but I’m not sure how safe is it as a way to prevent Epic (and potentially Tencent) from tracking my personal information.

Know what would solve this problem once and for all? If people collectively decided to boycott “popular culture” and entertain themselves without bowing to the copyright industry

Even if you purchase them directly instead of using the online pass? Guess I’ll have to check it for myself

If you use Docker, somebody has been taking the effort of wrapping the new Rust-based self-hosted sync server into a Docker recipe: https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker

I'm currently using YunoHost behind CG-NAT with a Wireguard VPS bypass, but plan on moving to a Dockerized setup soon because of YNH still using an outdated version of Debian. What do you recommend me to keep my setup as similar to YNH?

You can always try searching on Trending Communities or New Communities, that's where I've found many new interesting communities to follow and I have both of them on my RSS feed to ensure I don't miss any news. In related topics, the main Wordpress.com site is finally enabling ActivityPub so expect many blogs to start interacting with the Fediverse and, who knows, directly cross-posting to Lemmy.

Calling it already, they're only moving to Steam to aid in the anti-monopoly argument so they can sell themselves to Microsoft

Genshin being paid by Apple to withhold 120 FPS from other devices (and controller support from other mobile devices), plus their invasive anti-cheat, plus the fact that Mihoyo is a Chinese company (which makes the aforementioned anti-cheat even more scary to touch) makes me not want to touch the game with a ten-mile pole.

Correction: Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because the developers fear an uptick on cheaters caused by EAC being less invasive on Linux than on Windows.

I've gradually gone from being peeved at Proton for not being able to support certain brands of anti-cheat, to actively avoiding games with anti-cheat solutions that are fundamentally incompatible with Proton.
