Got the Ultimate 2 Wireless (both the Switch and the XBox version), connecting through Bluetooth.

I just connected it and it worked right out of the box, however every now and again it will “hang” and the joysticks stop working. The only thing that helps is switching it to 2.4 GHz mode, wait a couple of seconds, switch back to BT and wait for it to reconnect.

Steam finds it just fine, installed through Pacman.

I’m on Garuda Linux (Arch-based).

Yeah, he asked, like, both his friends, and they were like “nah”, so practically nobody on the planet uses AI, man.

Can you read, mate?

It’s an optional choice for the search engine.

YOU decide if and when and what to send there. What’s the big issue here?

But… but… the’re making so much money from tariffs!!

it immediately gets tangled up and take 1d6 minutes per 5ft of rope to untangle

Should be a Dexterity check per 5ft per 1d6 minutes to make it even more diabolical.

Do artists benefit more from ad-dense, algorithm gamed, corporate controlled media outlets kicking them a few bucks every month?

No idea, I don’t use those.

The service I use pays (for the 2023-2024 fiscal year) around US$0.01873 per stream in royalties to labels and publishers. Spotify (as of 2025) does $0.003-$0.005 per stream, so it actually improved massively - it’s only 6 times less than Qobuz (used to be 12 times less).

Or is a guerilla campaign of populist free-at-download distribution better for long term concert attendance and merch sales?

Doesn’t work for small acts that don’t do massive, world-wide tours. Nor for fully independent artists who just don’t have the budget to do larger concerts.

The actual difference is that if you are pirating or file-sharing, you’re about 30% likelier to actually buy music

Cool. Apparently I’m not “average person”, because that doesn’t apply to me.

The data was exfiltrated, sure, but not in public hands.

All of this has happened.

Yeah, I remember the bloodbath of 2021 when people were going door to door and shooting Democrat-aligned officials…

WTF are you smoking, mate?

Sure. But getting more is better than getting less, no?

Are you, like, ten years old?

Imagine it’s 2021, Trump is president. All federal employees addresses become public. Trump does his “we’ll retake democracy” stunt and people storm the Capitol.

What do you think happens in all the cities where armed MAGA now have access to Democrat politician’s and federal workers home addresses?

Artists love you, I’m sure.

Could you ELI5 how’s it work?

What music is it streaming? Is it somehow piping into Spotify/Tidal/something and grabbing music from there? Or is it “my own MP3s from my own storage location somewhere”?

Also: does it support Last FM scrobbling?

And you foresee absolutely nothing bad happening if all the public officers’ addresses were made public?

Other countries should just stop tourists from the USA from entering - the damn place is a biohazard at this point.

(That’s 2A in the other picture)

I mean, it’s not misleading, it’s just stating the nominal price, that’s it.

The message here is: “don’t believe when people start screaming that the EU is a fascist organisation that wants to subjugate the population”.

Because there was A LOT of that online when Chat Control reared its head.

Oh, yeah, since I sometimes state facts about topics you don’t like, clearly, I can be ignored.

How fucking pathetic are you?

By being a monopoly

How so? There are dozens of website hosts and DDOS protection services around.

having a unique chokehold on the internet

Have they ever utilised it in any extent?

Even if we don’t get into their ties with various governments that they inevitably have to have

That sounds suspiciously close to “I have zero proof but I think they’re doing X”. Can you elaborate on those government ties?

the fact that they alone can cripple the internet is concerning

Imagine a hosting company that’s 100% open-source, 100% vegan, 100% green, 100% pro-consumer. Their service is so good that the vast majority of the Internet starts using them.

Do you start hating them at the point where they reach, lets say, 50% market share, just because they managed to grow that large?

I guess what I’m asking is: do you have any concrete cause for the Cloudflare hate, or is it just a “they’re big therefore they must be bad, because big == bad”?

It’s such a weird mix of people with very strong opinions on topics they’re extremely ignorant about here, on Lemmy. I was first shocked to see it on the Technology community.

I thought that, since Lemmy (and fediverse in general) is relatively difficult to get into, it’d attract more tech-savvy people, but now. Here, in this thread, we have a dude saying that “Cloudflare always sucked”. Any Windows-related discussion always devolves into crying about data being siphoned (and nobody has bothered to read the telemetry documentation, of course)…

Just getting a weird cognitive dissonance whenever I’m browsing here.
