  cause its one of the very few distros that are not made for the terminal lover trans animeweeb crowd, but the everyday user. with a ui that doesnt force you to type all day. they were in the news on linux portals cause they do offer a premium pay2use version, and they are on mainstream tech site recommendations cause they do the dirty work and send out emails instead of ricing the shit out of a window panel and an inaccurate weather widget.

  i have no proof, but im semi sure that this way you cannot sign up with a temp mail or temp sms, so you are kinda forced to use your real data, which means the site is selling your data

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you mean too many shit games. its insanely hard to put anything into whishlist, cause every game is one of these:

  • phone game fps on rails, ported to pc, runs even worse than on mobile
  • anime girl doing something generic, the gameplay is pretty much abismal at this point.
  • pixelated sidescroller with the classic brown-green mario lookin map, but the leveldesign was random generated
  • action roguelike that pops up an upgrade every .1 seconds
  • ue5 horror game, where the first scene is an idiot going to a dark shed with the same flashlight model everyone used for 20 years now. runs at a cinematic fps on the lowest setting with dlss.
  • visual novel but the aspect ratio doesnt fit any known screen resolution from the past 29 years
  • good lookin game that is sitting in early acces for 7 years now. gets a balancing update every year, but we all know the campaign is never gonna get finished.
  • ragegame where its hard to control your own character cause "hahaxdfunny"
  • hardcore game that doesnt show you a tutorial, expects you to learn it from ingame, but since its hardcore it only has empty servers. devs tells you to engage with the toxic 200 ppl community in his little discord server.
  • super popular multiplayer where noone communicates, but you are suppose to work together
  • a game that was clearly made within a week, plays well, but its short and has no control settings. you never see the dev again on the internet.

  there are so many games, cause it is just too easy to make something. the end is a neverending sea of slop. the worst part is, real gems are just almost impossible to find anymore.

  big companies call it review bombing when they fail to meet consumer expectations. in these cases valve doesnt count negative reviews within a time period.

  the fact, that steam reviews were on mostly negative on launch day, and it suddenly got mostly positive means steam has once again tempered with the statistics. fuck valve as well.

  both cases you just gather up media files, and you play them. follow me instead for more life hacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this has been goin on for like a year now. i have an offline profile with no onedrive on my machine, and tried the latest office. theres a slider saying autosave, but i was unable to use it. felt kinda weird that there is no autosave feature anymore. turns out autosave has been a cloud save option, and poor excel was not able to savemy private data to the onedrive datafarm. also the new excel is super slow compared to like the 2016 version, which indicates that theres more bloat under the hood.
