Fair enough. It’s still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I’m looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.
But I can see your point that it’s not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)
“Twitter should be the global town square”
“free speech absolutist”
“make humor great again”
“leftists are snowflakes”
Sure, he doesn’t force anyone to use Twitter. It’s still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It’s still an important tool for the world. Let’s hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether…
This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.
This doesn’t surprise me. If I hear stories of some of my teenager son’s classmates it sounds realistic. The other day one of his mates spent 20k in an arcade on claw machines in a single afternoon. He “won” like 4-5 massive plush dolls, and had to hide them at our place to avoid parental wrath. Can buy them for 2000jpy incl shipping on aliexpress.
Some of his friends spent their entire allowance and more on fortnite every month. Parental failure imo. Parents should teach their kids the value of things…
Cool concept. But the art style ain’t my thing unfortunately. I hope they clean up the art and animation a bit. The cover art has a cool style.
Yeah, nothing beats parsec tbh.
For how I use my pc, everything just works. To give you a counter argument. My logitech devices just work out of the box on windows. For Linux I had to get a little specific tool. Also try installing Japanese language input on Linux. Compare how much simpler it is on windows. Linux is NOT simpler than windows in all situations. Maybe your own research methods are flawed?
I game, manage my NAS (truenas running jellyfish for media etc) , sail the high seas, and browse on my pc. I also remote into a small spare mini pc running Ubuntu server with a minecraft server on it. (Could’ve ran the server on windows, but wanted to tinker with Linux to learn)
It all works flawless.
Also, give me a Linux alternative for parsec that just works as well for remote gaming, both from other desktop devices as from a mobile devices.
I use popOS. Windows is still simpler
I run Linux on a small mini pc for some casual browsing.
I run windows on my main pc.
As long as some kernel anticheat (fortnite, cod, etc…) doesn’t run on Linux, I won’t be swapping.
30+y of windows use also makes me infinitely more comfortable with windows. All the complaints I always read about are totally moot for me (I understand the issue of privacy in windows. It’s the price I pay to have an OS that “just works” for me) .
While I enjoy tinkering, Linux is a royal PITA to use if you’re not used to it. I spend hours trying to figure out how to fix something that takes me 5m max in windows. I understand it’s a more a me than a Linux problem. But I’m certain many people struggle with the same things.
A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.
For the steam deck, you’d have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.
From my 12y old kids perspective:
The switch 2 plays fortnite and Mario kart. The steamdeck doesn’t.
There is no difficult choice for him.
He doesn’t give a fuck about anything else. Neither do his friends.

Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.
The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.
Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.
If it’s a one time payment and it works well enough, chances are big I’ll get it.
If it’s a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won’t be for me.
Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(
Any references for that? First I hear of it.
Not that I don’t believe you, but I’d like to read up about it. I basically never reboot my phone, never had issues.
I’ll give you the csgo gambling. That is fucked up.
But their refund policy is best in class. I don’t care how they got there, it’s better than shops give me for actual physical games…
I’d love to see what you consider an alternative better storefront.
Elaborate?
It’s easy to just spout generic steam hate, but I’d love to hear what steam does worse than other pc storefronts.
I’ve seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.
The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that…
What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can’t on android?
And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it’s not even a competition.
So true. I love the music and atmosphere. It is fantastic. The story looks great. But I do not enjoy the gameplay personally. I want to play it so much, but even 10h in, I’m still not truly enjoying it. Makes me sad, I want to love it so much.
