  Tell me you don't understand your userbase without telling me you don't understand your userbase

  So this is anecdotal I know, but I work on a Mac, so I've only ever held on to Windows for gaming. (Sidenote: The Mac isn't my choice, either, but it has a terminal, and it does the job)

  I've definitely tried to go fully Linux in the past, but it was always gaming that killed it for me. Wine was just never very consistent for me in this area.

  Long story but, I recently lost my gaming machine, and was gifted a friends old one. Also a long story, but he ended up putting Linux on it for me. I figured I'd use it as is until payday before buying a key for Windows.

  Holy shit gaming on Linux become has easy! Steam/proton is amazing!

  I won't lie, it's not always as simple as install and run, but the tweaking that's been required has been orders of magnitude simpler than what it used to be. Click a box 90% of the time, Click a box and add a run parameter for another 5%.

  The only games that haven't worked for me are Starfield and Cyberpunk (accounting for the last 5%.)

  Starfield might just be too much for this old machine, but Cyberpunk I have no idea. Neither are a huge loss to me when Balders Gate, and Elite Dangerous are running fine. Also long standing favourites like Just Cause 3/4 work perfectly too.

  I'm thrilled and a little shocked to say I think I'm finally done with Windows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beer and Wine are vegan drinks.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm sorry but absolutely not.

  Finding vegan foods is easy, as you've pointed out, however eating well as a vegan takes thought and planning. Especially in the beginning.

  This is why so many people fail when they first start. They just cut out everything with animal products, and end up eating bread and salad, and give up when they're basically malnourished and starving.

  Saying Vegan is not hard is a disservice to anyone seriously considering it. Instead of being condescending about it, give people resources to help them get it right.

  I use DDG when coding and generally find it to be a bit nicer, but from the article it sounds like they're prone to the same issues. Anecdotally, I have noticed non-code queries do seem to be similarly crap

  What is everyone else using instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumored Nintendo Switch Flash Cart Video Shows Multiple Games on a Single Cart⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, you've made some assumptions there. It's not a Nintendo product. Nintendo would NEVER release any kind of flash cart themselves, as they're begging to be used for pirated games.

  Everything you've said about game carts are basically why we'll never see an officially licensed product like this from Big N themselves.

  With that in mind, it still makes no sense as a product because you can run games off the SD card already (I assume. Very out of touch with Switch hacks)

  Hang on, this has never been a secret, they straight up said they were doing this! This isn't an "ooh look what they're ACTUALLY doing with your data" story, it's a fucking "Company ACTUALLY delivers on their promises for a change."

  This wasn't buried in the T&Cs it was fucking advertised as a feature! It's the service working as intended. Anyone who who gave DNA to them and is surprised by this must have been high.

  They are actually doing weird dubious shit, like building profiles on relatives who never give consent so what's the point in muddying the waters with stupid non stories like this?

  I know this is all subjective, but that is one fresh ass take lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone tried one of these Steam Deck alternatives like ROG Ally, GPD, OneXPlayer etc? I'm kinda keen on this Ayaneo Geek 1S⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I've got an Ayaneo Next. Had it for about a year... I fucking love it. 11/10 highly recommend.

  I've not used a Steam Deck though, so couldn't compare them, but from what I've seen in videos of the steam deck, I can't say I feel like I'm missing anything, except maybe all the built in stats.

  Embrace the void

  Kidding. I hear you. I don't have facebook/insta/WhatsApp but my partner does, and it's painfully obvious how much we'd miss out on if she didn't
