Maybe late to the game (no pun! :)) but ok.

I must say that my last console was a PS3, then I played on steam 2 or 3 times a year, now I was lend a PS4 by a friend cause I wanted to try some exclusivity but is it normal to install 20-30GB even when you own physical game ?

It was already a thing annoying back in the day on PS3 for some game (GTA 5 being the worst as far as remember) but here, it is getting ridiculous and seems to be default behavior for most games.

On PC, which is mostly dematerialized, why not, at least, you can use your computer in during the time but I don't expect that from a console.

or even both if you want to play safe?

Crazy, there's not one day when I don't encounter a post about Musk/Twitter on Fediverse or even Reddit.

I don't even go on Twitter, for which you have to register by the way.

It's like those not buying Apple shit and criticizing it all the day.

MSFT was responsible of a generation of non-educated users, half-assed sysadmin, what could go wrong, now ?

maybe your are not concerned with your 64GB laptop from which 60GB are used for entreprise spyware/antivirus hem, protective measure. :)

The more tricky and clicky it is, the more shitty the people behind are. This is the lamest way (to try) to bypass rules and therefore pretty insulting to their audience. First contender: Arstechnica.com from Condé Nasty cult.

"Oh, the regulation say we must tell the users why we need cookies and provide how to opt out... mmh but we need those shit, let's find a way to stay compliant but discourage the opt-out in the most sonOfremovedWay."

Even, TheVerge and other from Vox Media sphere, which I thought were the nastiest, have changed it back to a simple consent or do not consent button.

ASstechnica likes to play the SJW, rights defensers, criticizes celebrieties or shitty on twitter but with their cookie maze consent shit containing a 100ish of advertisers (that you have to disable one bye one), they are litterally the worse BSiter ever.

So of course, I pass on but not without telling the fediverse how hypocrite this site/company is.

hero point +1 :P

YES

Hello folk,

there's this annoying thing from Apple in bluetooth management which is hijacking your (paired of course) bt device in an exclusive way.

Is there a way to force bluez (on linux) to really take the lead? I mean, the device is paired and connected to but somehow, only Apple can play on it when around.

Apple having also this fucking habits to reactivate bluetooth and co after 24h. for the convenience of the user or to be user they could track you? :P

thank you

i know, by definition, apple == annoying
