- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 1 month ago:
EndeavourOS was the first Linux distro I used when I switched a little over a year ago.
I have not tried any other because I have felt no need. And I’ve gotten so used to using pacman, and Arch repositories for maintaining everything, that I have no reason to try anything else

Never raw dog the net like that…
- Comment on Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox Strangers 1 month ago:
They’ll probably just end up making (a very expensive) method of obscuring themselves from the recognition tech. That way they won’t need to pass any laws, and ad companies (or cops or anyone else who knows how to jailbreak their hardware. Probably) can still take advantage of the technology in some way.

Ads you say?
I’ll have to take your word for it…
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 1 month ago:
I imagine they’re mostly going to target videos and channels that review those devices that you buy pre-loaded with 1TB of ROMs or whatever. I would think people doing video essays and shit will be fine.
Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows.

Good list. Also, Astral Chain

Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best games ever made. And it’s not a “sandbox”.
Also the new Zelda game that just came out the other day is pretty great.

It’s definitely not extremely common.

- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 3 months ago:
The unfortunate thing is that, in the long run, that strategy will probably be super effective. Unless Europe (with the only internet regulations that actually have teeth) does something different, they will probably pay a few small fines over this at most. Cost of doing business and probably baked in already.

For sure… Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 3 months ago:
Totally. I wasn’t trying to rag on Valve… More just a comment about capitalism in general and how shitty it is.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 3 months ago:
These products are experimental and usually sold at or near cost not to make money but to prove to the market there is a need and a demand.
Well, no… I think it’s more akin to the concept of “loss-leaders”. Get people in the door and while they’re there, they’ll buy a game or two. Which is where their real profits come from.
In the end, it’s still just a business strategy intended to result in profits for Valve.
However, that being said, the fact that they don’t have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits and keep that stock price up at (literally) all costs, allows them to operate the way they do.
Don’t get it twisted, they are a for-profit corporation, and their ultimate goal is making money.

FIGHT!

They’re also one of the few (possibly only) that has not gone public.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

I’m sorry, input was not understood. Perhaps you meant:

- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza 4 months ago:
Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone’s comment history to try to find things to hurt them… Good think I’m not ashamed of either of those things.
And just to clarify the latter, criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it’s literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn’t be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.
- Comment on Who here likes Ratatouille? 4 months ago:
Fake.
Ratatouille sex forums have existed since the dawn of mankind. Everybody knows this.

Is this how you think capitalism works? Yikes.
- Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines) 4 months ago:
They don’t help, sure, but this shit happens anyway in capitalism. It’s an inevitability.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza 4 months ago:
Ohhhh got it, only one false flag attack was committed by the US. That means the war in Vietnam was justified.
To be clear regarding “false flag” operations: this entails attacking our own military in order to provide spurious cassus belli to enter a conflict we had no valid reason to enter. In this case, a civil war on the other side of the planet, in a bay we should never have been in to begin with

You’ll take your $3.27 check from the class action lawsuit that settled 4 years ago, and you’ll be happy

LO-fuckin-L at using Gulf of Tonkin, a well known false flag operation meant solely to draw the US into a protracted conflict we had no business being in. 🤡

Here? On Lemmy? Where did you get banned for saying that?
- Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again 4 months ago:
I’ve had my disc PS5 for two years now, and the only thing I’ve put in it was Top Gun on 4K disc
You are really missing out then, because if you know where to look (like psprices.com) you will often find sales on only physical copies at Amazon, Best Buy or GameStop.
I’m talking like significant sales. Like AAA games less than a year old (that still costs $60 on PSN) for $15.99 kind of sales.
- Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again 4 months ago:
I guess I’ve just been spoiled on Criterion Collection as that’s the only Blu-ray media I buy these days, because there’s nothing before the menu besides maybe a splash screen with the Criterion logo.
If you keep an eye on prices on Amazon, these versions are not as pricey as they used to be.
