Say, if phones started creating a 3d map everywhere they went, and you obviously disable it. There will, at some point, be someone who enters your house and unwittingly map it out.

This isn’t about personal resistance but the futility of it as the general populace neither cares, knows or put any thought into it.

I use opt out strings in my SSID, blurred the house on gmaps, etc. Last year noticed some random person put it on mapillary, there’s other services that require other optout strings. That’s just scratching the surface.

Things are happening that I don’t even know about, let alone respond to them.

What about, and this may blow your mind, you host the servers yourself? If they release the means, anyone who cares can run the servers and allow players to continue to enjoy their games.

Does it matter what we do? There’s definitely some family member, friend, colleague who has taken a picture of you and your likeness will be processed.

It’s like people tagging you in Facebook pictures even if you don’t have an account, but worse, because that was an active step. This is fully automated.

Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, EA (formerly Origin), Microsoft Store, …

Steam is a lot of things. If selling games is the only baseline for comparison, then you can add Fanatical, Humble Bundle, IndieGala, …

There’s a lot of overlap.

Steam Workshop? ModDB

Steam Chat? Discord

It bundles it all conveniently and there aren’t any drop in alternatives.

Calling Microsoft milquetoast when it has some heinous history is quite a thing to read 😄

“and for other purposes” umm

Does this have anything to do with Thunderbird? I’m confused.

Nothing is

What does “all tech debt is legal” mean?

You say brain implants might be expensive, but as technology, and time, progresses the price will drop significantly.

Unless it’s a Sony gaming device, in that case the price will go up after time.

Great movie

Sike, it’s cutting wire. Anyone who falls ends up cubed like that Resident Evil scene.

Backup backup backup

You spent time setting it up, now keep that time investment safe.

Create a disk image at least once and keep a more regular copy of your important files.

I said often, not always.

Also a great way to clog the drain, considering how much my cats shed.

PSX games had saves on memory cards, the generation of consoles before that often didn’t.

I have a bunch of consoles around from that era. My oldest systems are 8bit Master System. If saving was an option, it was you writing down a code in between levels.

I just tried your use case, and it did move the files to the correct folder.

using zsh:

 user@computer  ~  touch test.jpg
 user@computer  ~  touch test2.jpg
 user@computer  ~  mv test.jpg ./Public 
 user@computer  ~  mv test2.jpg $_
 user@computer  ~  ls ./Public 
test2.jpg  test.jpg
 user@computer  ~  

using bash:

[user@computer Public]$ mkdir test
[user@computer Public]$ ls
test  test2.jpg  test.jpg
[user@computer Public]$ mv test.jpg ./test
[user@computer Public]$ mv test2.jpg $_
[user@computer Public]$ ls
test
[user@computer Public]$ ls test/
test2.jpg  test.jpg
[user@computer Public]$ 

using bash and full path:

[user@computer Public]$ ls
test  test2.jpg  test.jpg
[user@computer Public]$ mv test.jpg /home/user/Public/test
[user@computer Public]$ mv test2.jpg $_
[user@computer Public]$ ls
test
[user@computer Public]$ ls test/
test2.jpg  test.jpg
[user@computer Public]$ 

What shell are you using? You can check it by using echo $0.

 user@computer  ~  echo $0
/usr/bin/zsh

[user@computer ~]$ echo $0
/bin/bash

I can’t reproduce it, even when putting the directory path in quotes, it still simply moved the file.

Only Claude’s frontend leaked, not the models

Desktop Linux may not be mainstream, but it’s solid. Mobile Linux not so much. I bought the pinephone hoping it would be a first class citizen, but it’s fairly underwhelming, even after all this time. UBPorts has it listed as 68% supported, it and other OSes lack useful app ecosystems.
