Money they should have spent on vasectomies

Having linus on board is terrible advertising for something that is meant to be good.

It’s supposedly meant to be a safety feature. It is unsafe for a car to have a driver who does not have a face. (insert Billy Idol earworm here).

Fair point

One stop shop

A laptop with no redeeming features.

The logical assumption would be that such a system would need to detect a face for the car to start.

I want my next car to be an ev… but with manual window winders

I have the AUR turned off in pamac, I don’t need it. I assume they are tying it down in multiple ways now though, more users, and dodgy ai people would be making it increasingly problematic.

I don’t use anything from the AUR, everything I use if official, or flatpak, that solves that potential issue. No doubt it isn’t that simple for everyone though.

So I have control of my computers. Windows has been getting worse, and worse for a long time, apathy is the only reason to stick with it. Pick the right distro, and linux can be very user friendly these days.

Sony and Microsoft say bad luck we are doing it anyway, and we know you will still buy our consoles.

Possible, but “texas” “left” “chinese propaganda” …given another paragraph I would have expected you to start selling trump bibles

Streaming always seemed like a daft idea to me, part of that no doubt is using the internet back when it was dial up and it made no sense to even wait for a picture to load, but streaming always seemed likely to lead to control issues, which is why so many people are (appropriately) whining about subscriptions and dodgy companies now.

The media I download is generally just deliberately 1080p, mainly watched on a 50" tv. I rarely have any quality issues with it, but I am not chasing numbers, and apparently I am not particularly fussy either.

I’m reminded of when dvds were first appearing and they used to market them on vhs, stating ‘this is how amazing this looks on dvd’ …but they were showing it on vhs. People still got excited though… weird creatures.

Unless you are benchmarking, or chasing numbers, posing, or using over the top infrastructure (super large tv, projector etc) there is an easily reached quality point that is more than good enough for most people.

It sounds like you don’t know what the left is, you are clearly from the USA, the democrats are right wing, marketed as left, you live in a duopoly con.

“Chinese propaganda” …no wonder the USA is such a toilet bowl, you zombies so eagerly buy into your own racist propaganda.

Interesting, not something i have heard of before, but definitely something I need to look into.

I emulate older console games, and assume there is the possibility that they are all I will be able to access one day.

That is the real issue. Physical media is just a waste of resources, we should be past that by now.

How to collect upvotes: Brag about how many games you have purchased from steam, but have never played, because being a consumerist zombie is hella cool.

Can’t wait until trash corps start selling implants to zombie consumers, and then start f*cking around with the subscription model.
