Wonder if they have a deal with Epic or some other Steam rival to be the centerpiece in an anti-trust lawsuit, the same way Oracle propped up the corps of Netscape.

My opinion is it is the turmoil in the games. Big money bought out many studios and brought a focus to shareholder value rather than games people want to play. Enshitification is everywhere. Doesn’t matter what your platform if choice is, last few years haven’t been great for gaming.


What are you afraid she is going to have to learn? Where the apps are? You have to do that with a new Windows install. I find people vastly overestimate the complexity of Linux. The UIs have VASTLY improved. I go to the terminal when I want to, not because I’ve been forced there. Thanks to Steam and their Proton layer, gaming hasn’t been an issue. I think there are too many Linux users out there worried they’ll lose their wizard status if everyone finds out how much easier Linux is vs how it used to be. Or how most perceive it to be.
I’m a Windows Server admin by trade and have been daily driving Linux at home for almost two years now. I am VERY familiar with the Windows UI, and yes more technical than the average person. Linux on the desktop has been very easy. More people should be giving it a shot as Microsoft makes us jump through hoops to do what we want.


What was the wait for Diakantana?


Lots of people saying Trump froze because of dementia. I think he did nothing because HE DOESN’T CARE. It wasn’t him, so he thinks it is not important. Doesn’t rule out dementia but I just think he’s a shit person.


It’s hilarious listening to the GOP call for fair maps. Ok, start in Texas, and then we can talk about other states.


When you need Brownshirts, you generally don’t want people who can easily get and hold other jobs. You want people that feel excluded from society and are willing to be violent about it.


They’re going after Social Security, that’s why they are hunkering down.


Meta is training sexbots, isn’t it?


And I’m still here with a 1080p TV. Because my previous ISP had data caps, I’m not convinced my current ISP won’t move to data caps, and there isn’t a lot of good 1080p content out there besides DVD/BluRay and my Rips, let alone 5k or 8k content.


The rioting happens when Cheeto decides not to pay Social Security.


I’ve had T-Mobile 5G internet for several years now, and no issues. I’d say I’ve had to reboot the router more than with Comcast. But our area has also gone through a lot of tower upgrades. I’m not a competitive FPS player, mainly playing MMOs and nothing unusual. Streaming content has been fine. I also work full time remote with an IT job, and that hasn’t been an issue either.
It’s going to depend on how good your local signal is. T-Mobile phones in my area work well, while they don’t work as well when I visit my parents in another state. So the 5G Internet will follow suit. If you don’t have T-Mobile phones then you’ll have to pay attention to friends or reviews in your local area.


In 1980, sure.


Boohoohoo, I’m a conservative and I’m so oppressed!


IF things in Gaza improve, Trump still doesn’t deserve a peace prize for blowing up Venezuelan fishermen, and for all the invasions of American cities he prattles on about.


One thing has nothing to do with the other. Just more, “Get a horse,” anti-AI energy.


Meh, lots of them earned it.


“It’s ok when our guy does it.”


Too many MBAs and execs are too focused on the shareholder. They forget you have to take care of the customer first. It doesn’t help we have insane institutional shareholders who reward execs for punishing the customer. It’s a big reason Enshittification is such a big problem today.
Those divisions:
