  I’ve decided to switch to Linux come october. I have some reasons I wanna wait as long as I can, but until then I’m leaving Windows behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think at this points it’s better to not join up with a large developer or publisher. The indie market has better job security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Europeans don’t like Nazis.

  Americans, well…

  That thinking is the death of art anywhere. “Stop making unique stuff, stick to what sells.”

  You could do thay before?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My FPS drops from 60 to like 25, but that’s rarely. It’s not like it’s a constant 25.

  Gee, I wonder why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t been to school in a while, but we had smartphones when I did. And if we took up our phones in class we got called out by the teacher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT engineers create 'spaghetti' style metamaterial that could enable stretchy computer chips that are almost indestructible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

  This is really good information, now I know to avoid their browser like the plague.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you should have no issue naming a distro that is a 1:1 equal of Windows 10 or maybe even 7, but with none of the enshittification and only upsides.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least Elder Scrolls has a foundation. Part of the issue with Starfield was that it was a new IP, with no real predecessors. For ES6 they can look at the past titles and see what players liked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’m getting a bit tired of discussions about Windows getting hijacked by people almost aggressively pushing Linux as the go-to alternative. I’m sure Linux is good, but it often feels less like helpful advice and more like proselytizing. I think most users aren’t looking for a whole paradigm shift, they want improvements within the environment they already know, not a completely different system with its own learning curve and compromises.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They never really figured that out, actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Starfield was the epitome of this. Rather than make a full game and let modders play around, they launched an empty, barren wasteland not-so-subtly made with extensive modding in mind. They figured that they don’t have to put effort into delivering a good product since their fans will do that for them following release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It goes against the corpo nature to do something that doesn’t earn them money. Their hierarchy of needs has only one point: income. Even this serves them in some way, even if it’s not apparent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gates may be one of the better billionaires, but it’s still like comparing prostate cancer to brain cancer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at Steam it looks like they locked the expansions behind the deluxe edition?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “So is the US the greatest country in the world?”

  “The US isn’t the greatest country in the Americas.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine Nazi Germany would have made very similar Tweets if Twitter was around back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts final Windows Recall testing before rollout⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kind of tempted to keep using Windows just to remove these features as a big middle finger to MS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me wonder if we can make a really convincing deepfake video to manipulate the Trumpets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elevated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, the Trump regime will get rid of the FDA, and recalls like this won’t bother you ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay, who had Trump loyalty pins for Apocalyptic-Bingo this Sunday? Games just getting started, stay tuned!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably not even metal, cheap Chinese plastic covered in cheap metallic gold paint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The opportunities for discussions and such is fun, but I miss the memes from Reddit. Lemmy is almost painfully unfunny.

  Didn’t Finland also try it, and found the same thing?

  I really think UBI has no downsides.

  In that case the EU will have to tax them proper.

  Here in Sweden I’ve noticed a surprisingly high amount of older men with younger asian wives. It always made me uncomfortable.
