That’s pretty much the point. The steam deck was a huge success, but the only reason it could exist and be such a success was because they had the freedom to do what they liked and not worry about management with attitudes like yours.

Good thing you weren’t working at steam, huh.

Do you have a better alternative, you lemming?

Steam DRM doesn’t have quite the same history of maliciousness towards end users that Denuvo does

What makes you think he’s an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?

- ‘It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it’

By the same logic however, mods would have no power to actually moderate. Their moderation ability is directly proportional to their potential for abuse. And I think we can all agree we’ve long passed the point where communities are able to survive without moderation, at least in their current form (which is what OP is discussing).

If you’re going to remove 90% of the content on lemmy, is there even a point staying on it?

BTW, you get a DRM free copy even if you buy from steam. You just need to link your Factorio account and you can download the installer from their website

You could just buy it direct from their site

Not familiar with multiplayer. What’s the reason for saving a local copy of the game?

You do not. Assuming the devs didn’t implement DRM, you can dig through your Steam folders to find the executable and launch it directly.

There’s nothing shiny about factorio, everything’s semi-rusted.

Really shitty scaremongering article. I’d like to know how exactly increased investment in fusion could potentially make it unsuitable for public use, as the article claims?

You can still get them done, the expansion isn’t released publicly yet

That helps somewhat, but if the house gets demolished with a bulldozer that’s still a lot of asbestos floating around again. The point is, you don’t know what will happen to it in the future, and it’s just not safe to have semi hazardous material lying around everywhere.

I’m pretty sure we could go back to using it, with more precautions in place, better binders, etc. Hell, it’s still used in many parts

Is there a way to keep it inert when the next homeowner starts tearing down drywall and drilling holes in stuff?

For all intents and purposes, (…) as close to a real person as technology can create.

Again, I point you towards video games and how they got blamed for violence. You could have used the same statement about them 20 years ago.

The biggest danger with allowing people to do whatever they want to a sex bot is that it has the possibility to encourage dangerous behavior in some people to the point where they are comfortable doing it to a real person.

This tired old argument gets trotted out with every new technology and hobby. D&D, Video games, VR, etc etc.

The current global population growth rate is unsustainable.

That’s a myth. The current global population growth rate is dropping precipitously and is expected to hit negative rates within this century. The fertility rate per woman is at 2.3, from a peak of 5.3 in the 60s. That’s barely above replacement level. At current trends we’ll be at replacement level in a couple decades.
