- Comment on New Steam Beta can run the Linux client inside a container with 64bit 9 hours ago:
You can run steam games without opening steam as long as they don’t use the steamworks DRM or require an additional login (Ubisoft, Bethesda). Both of these issues are created by the developers / publishers, not steam.

These games are build with a budged so high they either have to rival overwatch in its glory days or they get scrapped and written off as a loss since they will never be profitable.
Triple A studios have arrived in the corporate world a while ago were long term profits are irrelevant if your quarterly earnings aren’t what the investors want.

The main issue with your second arguments and the anti EV sentiment in general is that most people seem to think you have to fill them up like gasolin cars.
Everyone that lives in a more rural area can simply plug them in at home and charge overnight. And I don’t mean with a fancy private chraging point, a simple 3 phase AC plug will fill your car to 100% in about 8 hours. Even if you only have access to a 230V AC socket, you can still get ~4% per hour, which nets you 50% charge over night, in other words about 150-200km. The power grid doesn’t care much since the average load in the night is usually a lot lower.
For more urban areas there is a need for more infrastructure, yes, but even then you don’t really need superchargers. 11/22kW chargers in public and private parking lots can be built in bulk, are a lot cheaper and are enough for 90% of what the people need.
The only people that need superchargers are:
-
People that live and work in high population cities. Most of what they drive with their cars could have been done with public transport if they live and work in the same city, so not too much sympathy from me here. As for grocery shopping and the like, a huge array of 11kW chargers at the supermarket would solve that problem since most people in that area would need to charge like once a week.
-
People that drive 200+km a day. Sure it happens, probably more than I think, but in overall numbers they only constitute a few percent of the cars on the road at any given time.

Asking an existing userbase for any kind of change will pretty much always result in a no.
If the project requires minimal resources and doesn’t have a major downside, then implementing your own version before asking is fine.
They didn’t serve a bunch of ex alcoholics a full bottle of whisky, all they did is make you scroll twice on your mouse wheel.

Everyone already hates what is coming but its happening regardless
This is wrong and that’s the main issue. Most people don’t hate it, they are mostly indifferent and some may even think its a good thing. Most won’t notice any difference.
They actively thank Google for keeping their entire location data (maps timeline), why should it be any different with microslop keeping their files “safe”
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 1 month ago:
It deosnt matter if trump dies, the Republican party has pretty mich made up their mind that there won’t be an election in the future.
They don’t care about public opinion anymore judging by everything they did in 2025 and all the rich oligarchs in america are either part of their club or are pressured to comply.
And with the epstine files pretty much out now the higher ranking Republicans are too scared to five up their power with the possibility of them getting prosecuted afterwards.
Even without Trump, the only way to get rid of the fascists will be to forcefully remove them which will end in a civil war.
