Stalker 2… but this being patientgamers, and I’m always playing a classic game.

Yeah, it’s the best racing game ever made.

I’m cool with idiots who don’t know any better getting what’s coming to them… but I’m not really cool with them sneezing on the same door handles I turn.

Looks like pretty basic and easy shit to avoid. I can’t speak for the advertisement part. I don’t see ads.

It’s cute that you think I even have it installed.
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing 2 months ago:
…I don’t care.
I left Facebook but I left my account a husk. If the last thing they ever know is that I went to Krispy Kreme and got a pumpkin spice donut in 2017, then that’s cool with me.
"After eating the donut, the trail goes cold, Mr. Zuckerberg. We just don’t know!*

Come up with a rebuttal to this that an ignorant right-winger would believe.
- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week 2 months ago:
Except a lot of it doesn’t fit because tons of it is predatory trash sold as functional when one or two things can go wrong and ruin everything.
It’s hard to expect the layman to need something technical, not know enough technically to do it themselves, but have enough surface knowledge to not get ripped off. It’s like threading a needle of the perfect level of wisdom.
Like I’d wager the common every dude would look for a connected hard drive, maybe Western Digital because of the market saturation, but there’s just so much garbage online that half works.
Then there’s interconnectivity issues, software not being available cross-platform after already spending hundreds on hardware, Apple problems.
The average user is just set and ready to be ripped off at like, all angles.

Trump is president elect of the USA and you think the problem to this issue’s path to visibility is political correctness?
Call it fuckification if it gets clicks and attention, this is the USA. They vote for trash, speak their language.

Desktop: I need cost for performance…

- Comment on A new generation of cheaper batteries is sweeping the EV industry 2 months ago:
Actually, maybe.
Nissan and Honda both have a long history of undercutting everyone else to sell compacts and both have been working on EV tech, Nissan a little more openly than Honda, although Honda does have a deal between Acura and GM in the states for battery tech.
Honda cooks forever before they release new things, but Nissan will keep cooking new small EV compacts… forever. It’s just their thing.

Samba (I can move files now, sweet!)
-
Jellyfin (I can watch stuff, sweet!)
-
Qbittorrent-wireguard (for pirating copyrighted material from the internet illegally)
-
Somesuch Wireguard solution (for accessing the backend and doin stuff)
-
A proxy somewhere else
The rest is extra.

Pepsi or Coke?
Yes.
Honestly, I’ve used both. Tailscale edges out headscale by a tiny bit just because of the admin console’s GUI but other than that, yeah.
- Comment on PS5 Pro is struggling to improve some games, despite its power advantage 2 months ago:
Release a slim model and some colors?
Gaming’s problem is games. I have no idea why Sony keeps throwing more hardware at less games if hardware is the loss leader in the gaming industry anyway.
Go bribe Remedy or FROM or somebody for an exclusive, wash/rinse/repeat the Bloodborne strategy.

It’s like waving a disapproving finger at a brick wall, has always been my criticism.
Protests shouldn’t be so easily tossed in a bin. If you aren’t a problem, then no one has to listen to your message.

- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 2 months ago:
My headcanon:
Leftist: One who supports the general ideas of the Democratic party and supports the people at the head and their usual goings-on, voted Harris, enjoy the color blue.
Liberal: A Leftist, but they don’t think their party speaks for them enough, or aren’t extreme enough on certain issues they don’t think are represented enough, so they think the party has abandoned or doesn’t speak for them. These can be anyone from lgbtq+ activists to worker unions to Bernie Sanders.
Liberal(2nd definition): Someone who’s into traditionalist communist ideals, Lemmy calls them “tankies”. These tend to… not be what most people are talking about when they say liberal, despite arguments to the contrary.
Correct me if I’m wrong, this is in the context of the USA.

Go federated or find a small community of like-minded friends to hang with online.
Hell, I only visit Reddit for the big news for a few minutes before heading off to check discord and matrix chats and everywhere else I go.
Branch out.
