You are owed nothing at all when someone publishes their code on the internet. Thats what it is, its just an instruction manual to do a thing. Unless you pay something for the privilege of support, complaints will do next to nothing. Even now on lemmy/piefed/fedi.

I think the difference is that in 10 years when the steam deck is on its final legs, we can still play our games unlike most other consoles.
It might be a spare laptop, steam machine, or something else entirely. But we will presumibly be able to play.
My laptop is worth more than i bought it 3 years ago. Strange world.

nice stickers! I have a couple on my laptop too.
I would love to have https://joinbookwyrm.com/ capability. That would be fun. You finish a book, and bookwyrm would auto tell you were finished. Give users the option to post about it.
By preference (at least for me):
- Buy outright (AKA online stores like https://www.baen.com/). No DRM ebooks are great.
- Buy from authors website or sometimes patreon.
- Calibre + digital library download. My local library has an app, and you can just get the book and then sideload.
- Yoho if I cant find it elsewhere.
I try really hard to give authors money in some way…but sometimes Yoho is all you got if they have an amazon exclusive contract.
Its been 14+ years with this combo and I cant say I have ever had issues getting books.
4·11 days agoMake it! Fork Piefed/lemmy and get it setup. Why not, might be fun.
Amazon allows people to report those now. If you go to the support tab, theres a section on getting “free” stuff randomly from Amazon stores like what you are describing.
It was sooo bad. We had such a bad time with it. The controller buttons stick, the software was super buggy, and they required a credit card to log in (I dont know if that changed after the first couple of months, but I remember being pissed).
Found them! https://mastodon.social/@mntmn

2·20 days agoJeff hayes is great. I like all the stuff he narrates.
Just started today. Its so gooooood! Im excited.
This reminds me of bitcoin so much. At first there was a rush for cpu then gpu then specific miners. Then specialty hardware. We are here now. So silly.
