I miss xfire too.
So that’s what happened to them

You just hate pants eh?
I can respect that
That’s really moving, OP. I’ve had similar feelings before, discovering (or merely even noticing) the finished result of someone’s labor of love - someone who was no longer in the world.
My grandfather’s homelab and media setup was, and timelessly now is (since I backed up disk images of some of his computers) like this to me. Despite my years of my own joyous tinkering, in many ways his setup still eclipses mine. “Self hosting” wasn’t really a thing yet when he was doing all this, since we hadn’t yet moved to a highly web-centric, SAAS-dominated world, but he’d have been super into it. What’s left of his computers are now quietly falling into disrepair. But at least I have some of the data. He’s been gone over a decade, still miss him.
Cue video with a thumbnail showing the @ symbol, a server, ICANN, Klaus Schwab in his university robe, and Gobekli Tepe
And my axe!
I use it on both my iPhone and my GrapheneOS phone. Great on both.
Same, it’s nice here. I don’t miss the old place at all (especially thanks to the Voyager PWA)
Speed of light says no
Yea, this was a common occurrence when I used to rely on PayPal bank transfer. Apparently individual merchants can decide whether to accept it or not.
This is hilariously silly, putting that on my Steam Wishlist hahaha
Yeah, I figured as much.
What a big brain move from their support team, lol
It’s bad enough when these companies are monopolistic and malicious. But monopolistic, malicious AND incompetent - argh, it’s just too much.
I lost my Minecraft account to this, but that’s because the email address I bought the game with was with Lavabit, and thus never was able to receive any of the emails. Couldn’t verify I owned it either because again, no access to the email address.
I was just a kid when I signed up for that Lavabit address sometime in the 2000s, a kid who was vaguely interested in the idea of privacy and software freedom (I used PPC Ubuntu on a G3 iBook btw). Bought Minecraft Alpha in 2010 for €10. Now because of time passing and some bullshit happening I don’t have access to any of it.
But tbh I never opened a support ticket or anything, because fuck Microsoft. Its the principle of the whole thing
Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate
That was a good game, I used to destroy everyone at local split screen
Hopefully one day they remaster it in high refresh rate, 4K, on PC… but I’m dreaming, that’ll never happen
lol anything that does that shit = auto disqualify from even bothering to try it
me rn, why’d you have to post this
It does seem unlikely that, regardless of interest in playing the instrument, sales would’ve done anything but slumped in recent decades. Can’t really envision buying brand new guitars being a high priority for young people who are seemingly worse and worse off over time
Mass media kinda already does this. Paging Edward Bernays!
Laptop form factor is very ambitious! Huge respect. I would love to give one a spin
That would be cool.
I guess my AMD Bulldozer TV PC is gonna have to go in the ewaste bin though. Its already stretched to its limit running Linux Mint, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock as it is
boo hoo mf
