  All bootloaders should be able to be unlocked and able to install the OS of your choice. Also you should be able to choose whatever app store you want. It is your hardware, you payed for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah i’ve been considering canceling my netflix subscription, this will push me over the edge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Sets Course for Season 3 Premiere on Thursday, July 17⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love this series, been too long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It does feel better on the SteamDeck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played it. Artwork is beautiful, but controls are wonky, hard to get used to on PC, and the gameplay unnecessarily punishing. It doesn’t feel good to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they should take the feedback from reviews and incorporate that into their updates. It’s not just that you are being review bombed by unreasonable people, it’s that people feel the game has problems that aren’t being addressed. I agree it is difficult to recover from a bad release because first impressions are everything. Companies can recover and have, take No Man’s Sky for an example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forget foldable phones – LG's 'stretchable' in-car display can grow physical buttons when you need them, and I can't stop watching it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not in the market for a new car, but how about features that enhance operator focus, and reduce blind-spots. Less distractions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The organization needs to dump it’s management and go back to it’s roots. Stop being shitty and be the desktop people want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve rolls out SteamVR 2.10 with quick recenter, reduced controller and physics jitter and Linux fixes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  SteamVR crashes when selecting desktop view. Store doesn’t display, just a black screen. Library views fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t like the game, not my kind of play. Glad others love it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A List of Social Media Platforms that Still Permit Free-Speech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Free but accountable speech. Nobody should want a forum without moderation, it would be a toxic mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the remaster, it plays much better than the original of course. The graphics at first were really sluggish/choppy, but i found disabling the steam overlay fixed it for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s called “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered” after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC sues Uber, says company enrolled consumers in subscription service and charged them without their consent, made it difficult for users to cancel.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somebody forgot to bribe Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not my fucking house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian comedian ditches US trip due to concern she could be denied entry over Trump jokes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Denied entry isn’t a big deal. Being detained for weeks/months for criticizing the orange mobster would be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify CEO tells teams to consider using AI before growing headcount⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing that matters is creating value for the share-holder (this is how public corporations work). If you can convince the share-holders that AI can perform the job better than executives, they will demand executives and their board of directors be replaced on the spot. Share-holders care about one thing, maximizing profits. They will never favour the average employee as they see them as red numbers on the balance sheet. All the employees need to do is buy up all the shares and they can make this happen. Pretty unlikely scenario unfortunately, but one can dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Open office isn’t getting much in the way of updates these days and is considered dormant and maintained by the Apache foundation. Libre-office is the office suite maintained by the document foundation and is where the bulk of developers moved over to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This $80 wristwatch has an Atari 2600-inspired design, features 4 playable Atari games - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t ship to BC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I care enough to say i don’t give a shit about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix is very pushy about cancelling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Make sure to not just cancel, but remove your credit card info so they can’t charge your card anyway. Disney+ tried that on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to try Matrix again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should swap your work or gaming monitor for a pair of AR glasses, and I'm not joking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve a pair of Rokid’s and think the technology isn’t there yet. It’s fuzzy around the edges, making reading difficult and a pain. You want to turn your head to get a better look in order to read, but of course it is stuck in place in front of your face so impossible. It is also uncomfortable to wear longer than ten minutes as it causes impressions on your nose bridge. Not worth the price or pain. Maybe in another ten years i’d look into it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ron Wyden asks for rules about whether you own your digital purchases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy, keep your money and buy games from devs who don’t suck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the Fediverse and see it as the only reasonable choice. Everywhere else you must eat shit and like it.
