Denuvo’s customers are corporations, not consumers. “We had a poor reputation because of gamers. CEOs who aren’t gamers love us!”

So they have a great reputation with people who aren’t gamers?

I also find PC gamers are becoming a toxic group, they hate everyone

User Nuke_the_whales doesn’t like how toxic PC gamers are.

I skipped buying Death Loop despite a decent sale on steam just yesterday because of denuvo.

Death Loop has Denuvo? I remember pirating that about a year ago.

A new windows computer I would have had to set up for her as well.

Just set my MIL up on Linux Mint. The two things she uses her computer for are email and web browser, so it doesn’t make any difference to her.

Companies will charge what the market will bear. If Netflix increases prices and lowers quality and people keep paying the higher price for lower quality, then Netflix will keep doing it. It’s up to consumers to not pay for enshittification in order to stop it.

So far, the best system we’ve come up with as a species is heavily regulated capitalism with strong social safety nets

And for quite a lot of human history the best system we had come up with was Feudalism, until we started doing something better.

Just because Capitalism is the best we’ve come up with so far doesn’t mean we should just accept it, or that 1000 years from now people won’t look at the Capitalism with the same disdain we look at Feudalism.

Until it stops increasing profits.

I found a thread in the Steam forums of someone offering invites, but thank you for the offer :)

Sir, this is Lemmy

The difficult steps in FTL are no joke. I was having no difficulty clearing on easy and was just trying to unlock all the ships. Once I did I switched to normal and had to restart 3 times before getting out of the first sector.

So how do I get an invite?

I’ve been taking part in the beta, as far as Steam is concerned me and my friends are a thrupple. Works pretty well, other family member’s games just show up in your library. Haven’t had any issues, Steam will tell you if your copy is in use by a family member and you either play something else or ask them to quit.

Then I’d be more concerned about that and your posts rather than if you happened to up or down vote something.

If someone tries to harass me about how I vote I’ll just block them.

You are doing it privately. Nobody knows who amju_wolf is, or where they live.

How does one “behave as a shithead via voting”? If someone decided to waste their time following me around Lemmy and down voting my posts it’s not going to do very much.

Incorporating that in a way that doesn’t allow for vote manipulation by just lying to a server that different “anonymous” users have up or down voted a post sounds incredibly difficult, and not worth it for the narrow use case of “prevent my votes from being data mined even though all my comments can.”

datamining my voting patterns for building a deeper interest profile.

They can already datamine your posts.
