Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • Lower prices was a promise by Epic. We take a smaller cut from the devs so the savings can be passed down to the customers.

    Didnt happen, buying on Epic is just getting a worse experience and giving the devs more money for it.

  • 1 in 3 companies have dropped college degree requirements for some jobs. See which fields they're in.
  • We've seen larger technology and software companies prioritize skills over degrees because of the speed at which the industry evolves.

    1 in 3 companies are also firing developers :). This just smells like they're trying to lower dev compensation so they lower requirements, get more younger/cheaper devs and also use it as an excuse why your pay is not as high as it could be.

  • Cop described Sonya Massey shooting as ‘self-inflicted’ in initial dispatch
  • I mean the paradox basically states if you want to stay a tolerant society you should be intolerant to the intolerant, which is a paradox.

    And here’s a man claiming to be tolerant, being intolerant to an intolerant person.

    And yes his statement is indeed hypocritical: “noone should suffer this except you”. But you know… the tolerant society being intolerant is also hypocrisy.

  • On screen keyboard and mouse - what are your survival tricks?
  • Protip: get KDE connect, connect your phone and deck and then use KDE connect to paste passwords from your phones password manager

    edit: deck has kde connect preinstalled but I think you need to connect your phone in desktop mode.

    you can also then use your phones keyboard to type or use the phone as a touchpad

  • What are your offsite backup solutions
  • To copy a comment from reddit:

    HTWingNut:
    
    Backblaze Personal only works with Windows PC's and Mac, and drives that are physically connected to the computer. No VM's, no network drives/hardlinks/symlinks, etc. You have to use their software to backup too. As someone else noted, for recovery you can grab files in 500GB chunks as a zip, or 8TB drive mailed to you (free of charge up to 5 per year). Data needs to be retained on your local drives otherwise it will delete them from their servers after 30 days unless you upgrade to their 1 year retention plan.
    
    I have a Windows PC that is on 24/7 for a number of things, and I just put a hard drive in there that I backup my most important NAS files to that, and it gets backed up to Backblaze Personal.
    
    Backblaze Personal is cheap and I see the appeal, but you have to understand and live with those caveats for "unlimited" backup.
    

    I use B2 with rclone and just backup "important" stuff on my NAS with cron jobs. I guess you could have rclone move the "important" stuff from NAS to a "burner" PC which uses Backblaze Personal.

    I don't have enough data to warrant all that so I use B2 for now and I have around 50GB of data so the price is cheap
