Hmmm let me just look at the title of this post. Oh yeah. PC at PC price. Holy shit no way.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
None of them are comparable to the Steam Machine as it’s not a console. I’m just saying $650 is pretty average console pricing now.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
You stated incorrect information then doubled down that your incorrect information was true till finally actually looking it up to then assert that out of 3 consoles $500, $650, and $750 that $650 is not console pricing. So yes, $650 is console pricing, what’re you gonna do tell me I’m wrong again because you have some strong feelings?

No, the disc driveless PS5 is $500. I’m looking at it right now on the playstation website. The PS5 Pro is $750.
$650 is console pricing now. You don’t have to like it but that is the reality.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
The Xbox Series X is $650 and the PS5 is $500.

While I agree it is cheaper to build your own it also wont be as small as the Steam Machine.
It’s just that Valve has made a point that it will be priced like a PC, if it is priced like a PC then $650 is far too close to current console pricing. I want to be wrong here, I want it to be cheap and really push Linux into the mainstream. I’m just far too cynical and I expect it to be the most pointless product until proven otherwise.

Plus those Cyberpower PC’s have to factor in a Windows license into the cost.
Honestly, the Steam Machine needs to be less than $800 to be viable.

I’m sorry but if you think chilies only add a little flavor there’s no point continuing this. Have a good one.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 4 weeks ago:
Frankly I disagree, chili powder and paprika are spices commonly sold as spices and are just dried then crushed chilies. It’s just a preservation method and in Asia chilies are preserved in chili oils so not technically a spice but is used for flavor like a spice.
Really the only problem here is that the language we are using is so fucking bad at describing flavor and cooking.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 4 weeks ago:
I’m not talking spices from around the globe or some shit. I’m talking jalapenos, serranos, chipotles…
Ya know, cheap staple crops from my region of the world that grow like weeds and add flavor for cheap.

Unlike my dumbass family back then I’m not afraid of spicing my rice and beans like people with melanin

Could? The US is in outright pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism with disdain for programs that support innovation.

I don’t even think it “kinda is” I think it fully is. Trans rights are currently against tradition and the status quo, this makes trans rights a progressive topic until the day that trans people are so established in the history of a society that it can’t be argued being trans is some new disorder or something.
I hope that one day Trans rights will have been so established globally that to challenge them is anti tradition and uncouth

They’re no more stupid than the average voter in my experience. I understand it’s anecdotal but I have dealt with republicans who are quite smart and they vote like they do because they have oil investments or want unemployment to go up to decrease labor turnover in their business.
Ultimately democrats and republicans serve the ruling class. If all the voters who aren’t voting republican were smart they would vote for candidates that will make change. They would pick up from their more expensive major cities and move to lower population states, counties, and cities to dramatically shift the representative power. It’s just not that simple, people don’t want to live in bumfuck wyoming but the system is busted and Wyoming with a population of ~500k has as much say in the senate as California with ~40 million.
I think it’s fucking stupid to vote again and again in the same corrupt institution that has been losing to fascism for the past 40 years and expecting a different outcome to be stupid. To vote smart you gotta vote states with low populations and republican inclinations. WY, AK, ND, SD, MT, NH, WV, ID, NB. Seriously, if 200k leftists from around the country moved to WY and flipped two senate seats for leftists it would break almost every senate tie in my lifetime. Notice how voting smart costs money? Yeah, wonder how that came about.

I imagine a lot of them are edgelords but from my experience with people who vote for Trump a lot of them aren’t edgy, they simply don’t care about anyone else but themselves.

I’m not sure if they can anymore. Civ 7 broke me on how it shoe-horned in systems to make money that ultimately broke what was a tried and tested formula.

I think it should be taken a bit further and just don’t buy anything from 2K if you can.

Capitalist myth similar to how monarchs are chosen by gods. I swear, Americans are so propagandized to that they would chuck disabled people into volcanoes if the Koch brothers told them Jesus wanted them to.

I just hope all the developers unionize. Microsoft is such a diverse company it’s nearly impossible to boycott into any type of pressure. If firing one group could cause another team to strike it might at least slow them down.

I think all jobs that are able to be replaced by robots should be replaced, the dystopian factor is how capitalism deprives people of the ability to exist in doing so.

Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.

Part of me wants to argue this isn’t a cycle of demand and is instead capitalism. The trades didn’t pay poorly because there were too many people as much as people willing to work for less and the employer will pocket the difference. I admit this is extremely pedantic of me to split hairs here but people have an effective floor for how much they can work for. Coal miners weren’t being told to code because there were too many coal miners but that they could never work for as little as the machines that were replacing them.
To be clear I’m not saying AI is a replacement for programmers, I’m not able to see the future here, but capitalists will attempt to to replace any labor with machines if possible.

- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 5 months ago:
Yeah, it sure can do it in a way nobody else can, the most wasteful way. But I appreciate you shifting the goalposts from Ukraine because being used in war is a reason why it is a bad ISP. See, if a war breaks out and a power can destroy them, we’re talking global breakdown of internet via starlink. If a war breaks out across the world a traditional isp keeps working.
Then there’s also the piss poor service, the poor number of total connections, the lack of redundancy, the cost, the ecological damage of launching rockets every week so that someone is the middle of nowhere can jack it with high speed internet, being disabled when a nazi feels like it…

Lol “Starlink is a bad ISP” “BuT wHaT aBoUt Ukraine!!?!?!?!?” “Mostly irrelevant to this conversation” A true lemmy experience.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 5 months ago:
I love how you completely ignore how starlink is only viable for ukraine because the US military industrial complex.
There was satellite internet before Starlink and Starlink should be banned for all the 5ghz interference it creates
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 5 months ago:
This is a really weird “ends always justify the means” because I could also say it wouldn’t be necessary if Ukraine never gave up their nuclear weapons and how I doubt the Ukrainians would disagree. This is also further impacted by the protection of Starlink by the US military because if it wasn’t an act of war against the US to destroy them, Russia could take down low earth orbit satellites pretty easily.
But none of this is relevant to how Starlink is not an ISP, it is not infrastructure it is a fleeting wasteful service.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 5 months ago:
Those places can get internet from satellites outside of low earth orbit that is simply slower with higher latency.
