I wish I could argue with you.

We have been long past that point, it just took this election to make it obvious. This is who America is, and who it has always been. Denying just leads us further down the same hole.

And there it is. Already learning the wrong lesson. I really wish this wasn’t so predictable.

At this point Everything Search is goated.

Yes and no. The theory is that each instance is supposed to be more specialized, kind of like the old BBS that used to be rampant on the internet. If you are moving to an instance just because people disagree with you instead to have more discussion over a specific topic that is not really in line with the purpose of the fediverse.

I mean, they’re the biggest instance, of course there is going to be circle jerking, but it also has more dissenting voices to push back against people who are just plain wrong.

So demure so mindful.

Every time I see something like this I’m reminding that pedophiles tried to rebrand as MAPs. Thankfully it didn’t really work.

I don’t know about relatable, but it does speak to Ben’s personality that so many people thought this was real.

It’s really not that deep.

My bad. I didn’t even read the title, just saw the picture. lol

“… Maybe you steal her underwear a couple times…” No Ben. No we don’t.

Regardless of it being the fake, the fact that so many (including me) thought it was real speaks volumes.

What’s that quote? History is written by the winners. Yeah, something like that. Not to say the alternative would have been better, but bad historians will always leave out the worst parts of a country’s history.

I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s gone “mainstream” since you still have to be moderately nerdy to know about it. I get your point though. This is one of the reasons I am so happy the Steam Deck exists. Before Valve released the Steam Deck nobody wanted to make games for Linux, so Valve said “fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves” and proved it was not only possible, but a better experience overall. While not all games work, having 78-80% of your game library work on Linux, with no Windows OS performance tax, is a great experience. Even with the Proton compatibility layer games generally run faster than on Windows.

Wallpaper Engine 4 was a greedy cash grab full of micro transactions and bugs.

It’s kinda how I feel about any shitty person that gets clowned on. At some point it’s just like “yeah, we all know this person is a POS, what else is new”.

I use Arch btw.

Sounds like a skill issue. lol

Yeah, but the cables still have major standardization issues. It’s almost impossible to reliably tell if a cable can be used for power and data or just power, leading to people either thinking a cable is broken or over-spending.

Why would Windows users be crying. Most users have ambivalence/hate relationship with it.
