Yeah, promises change over time. Hope they can keep their promise on that but not sure how that would even be feasible with a catalogue that large.

‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine by RootBeerGuy in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

It is easy to make if you have the know how and some equipment, also if it is already known what you need to make. For example, aspirin is known structurally (unless I am mistaken), so if you have the chemistry know-how and equipment, you can make your own.

However the tricky part is to get it as a safe medicine to take, that you do not have impurities that could be dangerous, toxic. You will need to be able to make quality and safety checks like that. Which I am not sure how easy that really is.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Not trying to be a smart ass, I just keep seeing things like this for Ubisoft and other companies and people just crap on them, but then Steam is almost never criticised for the same issue (or I am not seeing those memes). I guess Valve makes enough other things right so people are more happy to overlook this?

But then, how do you keep the game for later, like reinstalling it on a system that does not run steam, that won't work right?

Question, is buying games on Steam "owning"?

Acer enter the handheld PC gaming race with the Nitro Blaze 7 by RootBeerGuy in c/[email protected]

attempting to deal with the mess that is Windows with their own "Acer Game Space app".

Ugh.

There's no price, region availability or release date being shared just yet.

OK. Price will be a massive point to make here. This needs to be ridiculously cheap for people to deal with this game space app that without looking at it, I can already tell must be a pain in the butt.

Aaah, now I get it. You guys made an account to post on. I saw the headline and I was busting my head how in the world a search engine would federate within the fediverse...

Rewatching AT: Come Along With Me (discuss.tchncs.de)

Finally made it through after starting long time ago (like... a year back). Was just watching a few episodes at a time when I felt like it and it was my first rewatch since it finished airing.

Can say it really held up well! Definitely rewatchable more than once! Lots of details I forgot about, like the whole deal between Finn and Huntress Wizard. Still think he should have gotten together with Canyon, Billy's ex, they had a good vibe.

Love this episode, especially that while being super silly it actually leads into the main story of the final season. Best quote "These baby-smashing hammers are great!"

What do people here think about the movie web app extension? (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I guess most people know about the movie web app site, which pulls videos from various sources.

Recently they added a request to download an extension to your browser, for optimal perfomance and better quality.

It is featured on the firefox android extensions site from Mozilla, it has a github page. What I read online is that it seems the extension wants access to everything you do in your browser, which seems kind of sketchy.

What do people here think about it? Anyone installed it and can say more?

Edit: thanks for all the comments, looks like less people knew about this than I thought.

I will always be sad that Canyon and Finn never got together. They seem to fit so well on a spiritual level.

Rewatching AT: Jermaine, another whacky season 6 episode (discuss.tchncs.de)

Just loved that Jake chose the biggest sword he could find. I think it is one of the swords in Final Fantasy. This scene has my favourite quote of the episode, when Jake notes about the sword "Why is it so dense?".

Researchgate cut a deal with MDPI for "enhanced brand visibility" (cen.acs.org)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Not sure this fits in the community but I felt it is an important topic that needs visibility. Researchgate made a deal with MDPI to prefer some of their journals on the site over other publications or journals. It will likely be impossible to know if suggestions you see in the future are genuine or paid for by this deal.

MDPI made a post on their site about this https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/7051

I could not find an announcement on the Researchgate site so far. Possible enshittification of Researchgate up ahead?

I remember when the Orgalorg episode came out people who rewatched it thought it is Orgalorg in the bottom right.

Another fantastic lore episode, I forgot how good season 6 of AT is. Check out the toaster on the shelf in Evergreen's study.
