yeah but it’s run by an active opponent of LGBT folks

Get a Steam Deck OLED if you want a Steam Deck. Don’t wait for a hypothetical next version. I have both the LCD and OLED, and while both are excellent, the OLED is a slight improvement in a few days (lighter, less bezel, 90hz instead of 60hz, obviously you get an OLED screen, and the CPU/GPU are a tiny, tiny bit beefier).
- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 2 days ago:
FedEx drivers routinely lie about folks not being home to accept delivery, but in reality they never even go up to the door to ring the doorbell or knock on the bell. Having evidence that the driver never showed up can help dealing with FedEx to get a package that they repeatedly fail to deliver.
That’s about it though, I don’t actually have a doorbell camera at the moment (I did, but it died, and I haven’t bothered to replace it), and I really resent the mass adoption of surveillance cameras pointed out at public roads and sidewalks, especially Ring cameras which have been repeatedly shown to be readily available to law enforcement.

but it can’t store things you haven’t seen yet! and it can’t store things you’ll never actually bother to experience, unlike my steam library…

as much as I’d love a giant concrete cube adorning my yard, I doubt most people share my peculiar taste

Good.
Nothing against Portal 2, but Stardew Valley just offers so much more for so much longer
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 weeks ago:
I honestly wish the Dualsense took AAs. I’ve really grown to appreciate how Xbox controllers have always been two AA. Making a small investment in a bunch of Eneloop batteries and chargers is SO worth it.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 weeks ago:
The steam controller takes AA batteries. Doesn’t get much more “standard size” than AA.
- Comment on Google Gemini is coming for your private apps. Here's how to stop it 2 weeks ago:
Then either get one or don’t switch?

Yep!
- Comment on Google Gemini is coming for your private apps. Here's how to stop it 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because pixels are currently the only android phones with hardware security that third party operating systems can take full advantage of.
- Comment on Google Gemini is coming for your private apps. Here's how to stop it 2 weeks ago:
Gemini never gets installed automatically on GrapheneOS. Yet another reason to switch if you can

- Gmail -> proton
I recommend Tuta over Proton. They’re much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta’s leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton’s
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 3 weeks ago:
They come in as high as 512gb and 1tb. I agree that they should have microSD slots, but the builtin storage options are sufficient.

- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 4 weeks ago:
Ff16 combat is fun as hell. And FF7 remake/rebirth too. I’m sure I still would have enjoyed both games if they were turn based, as I enjoyed the original FF7 and FF8 back in the day, but I really don’t get the hate for the realtime combat. It’s tight and polished and fun.
