- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 2 days ago:
CachyOS for performance, Bazzite for stability. None of key features I’ve mentioned about these two OSes are overwhelmingly better on each side. Barely makes any difference imo.
My perspective: I fly Bazzite on my main rig (HX99g) and it’s been epic. Gaming mode unfortunately doesn’t detect 165Hz but desktop does. Upsides: seems to run games slightly better than windows, and does most daily computer tasks with ease. Downsides: doesn’t run windows native apps. Can be ran though winboat, but say Whatsapp wont have mic unless you add device in settings, but then you’d lose sound of Bazzite.
Other than that, it has been an epic ride. So far that I have nuked internal SSD windows and clonezilla’d my external Bazzite ssd to internal SSD. Windows hasn’t been installed yet. It is in the plans.
- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 2 days ago:
Intel ARC is a GPU brand by Intel that are half the price of a typical Nvidia card at almost the same performance. They been unpopular due to shaky drivers but they have never been canceled. So, stating that Intel will finally enter GPU market is just plain misleading.

Smurfing was probably a side-effect. I remember their main reasoning was to ban people who trash talk in voice comms/chat so they cant just create new account using same number.

Like if ARC has never existed before?

Comments under the video are on another level. Funny, relevant and clever.
If Alec has to speak out like this, shit’s been hitting the fan for far too long. Time for a change.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 5 days ago:
PlayStation and Xbox subsidize the cost of the console.
Valve is subsidizing their services that they provide to gamers.
Apple and Google have been having their 30% fees (and the monopolies that allow them) struck down by courts and competition regulators around the world.
They have 15% since 2020 or so. As far as I understood, Apple got sued, then changed the cut% and Google followed shortly after to avoid getting sued. Once app earns more than $1 million, it gets 30% cut again.

Steam provides much more than just a store. Having to print, burn, deliver and sell physical CDs is not cheap. Nor is the service Steam provides that physical discs wont. Also, did you pass over the fact that PS, Xbox, Nintendo, Apple and Google also have charged 30% for their online stores?
Anyone can go get free games at Epic and be happy they save 100% cash on their games. and that is why Epic’s user base grew 173% withing last 6 years but with 1.6% revenue growth. If this doesn’t make you realize that we pay for a good service, then nothing will.

Sorry to bust your balls, but here’s a thing from a fucking 6 years ago that debunks your B point to the ground.
30% has used to be standard in a PHYSICAL releases too, except these wont give you any convenience like cloud saves, remote play, family share, friend/community integration, support for older releases, huge ass discounts, linux support, and may other pro-consumer things. Valve takes this chunk and actually invests in the quality of their service.
Do you really think that MS or Epic would keep low markups if they have gained majority of the market?

What anti-consumer is exactly about Steam? Comparatively to pretty much any other online game store, Steam is a super-pro-consumer-the-only-good-choice store.

Unfortunately, humanity often doesn’t do or know what is best for it.

Let’s not be delulu. Reddit has more information, bigger user base and way more activity. Lemmy is not as big and relevant yet.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 1 week ago:
Phones, as we know them today, entered market much later than consoles or PCs.
My point is that eventually we hit the ceiling of progress. PCs and consoles hit their peak 20 years ago while phones did 10 years ago. Things haven’t changed in a while for both of them and it doesn’t feel so far that there will be major progress any time soon.

- Comment on ...is this retro? 1 week ago:
There is a noticeable difference in graphics from 7th to 9th. But 8th felt like a half step. And it doesn’t feel like there are noticeable improvements in any graphics, physics engines, lighting or anything else since 2020 when 9th gen started. This cant be said about any generations up to 8th.

Phones didn’t changed fundamentally since 2015.

What do you mean integrated in everything? Who fucking counts pressure in truck-tonnes?
- Comment on China’s new flexible fibre chip can survive being run over by a 15.6-ton truck 1 week ago:
Can’t really imagine a situation in where this kind of a chip used under the weight of a 15.6T truck. Why even mention truck? Just say that it can withstand "X"tonnes/cm^2. No need for these American measuring standards

- Comment on Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI 3 weeks ago:
I see this issue similar to music industry.
Musicians would complain that modern mainstream music is crap and is ruining** good music** for years. Major Labels would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Music enjoyers would support musicians. But vast majority of listeners wouldnt care about what they are listening to.
Now changing some words around:
Technicians/Programmers would complain that AI/LLM is crap and is ruining internet/peoples minds for years. Big Tech would say “fuck you, we do what we want” to them. Power users would support technicians/programmers. But vast majority of normie users wouldn’t care about what they utilize/consume online.
Most of humanity doesnt care.

- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 3 weeks ago:
Cheap amps work bad with mid/high-end speakers. Cable should be shielded. Amp should be grounded well. If speakers have balanced inputs (TRS - tip, ring sleeve), I suggest to use a balanced cable. If it just TS (tip/sleeve) or RCA, then it is not balanced and it doesn’t matter what cables you will use. Your amp is most likely the culprit.
- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 3 weeks ago:
Updoot to that! When I am checking for technical solutions or suggestions on the internet, Lemmy has barely any info while Reddit very often has the answer I need. But when it comes to “your typical social media site”, Reddit sucks donkey balls in that while Lemmy gives me nice small community vibes. Reddit is still good as long as you dont step into mainstream subs shit.
- Comment on Every anime ever… 3 weeks ago:
It only picked up buzz at season 3. Almost nobody who did watch full series did start with s1 on release.
Imo, Breaking Bad is worth it. It kept being engaging from start to finish and haven’t overstayed its welcome like some other mainstream shows.
