  • Horse armor started all this. Don't forget bethesda and Microsoft are the entire reason digital script currencies and microtransactions exist.

  • I'm the first guy to go to bat to point out why someone's bullshit issue with valve is bullshit.

    But this ain't one of those times. Valve is as guilty as all the others on this. Loot boxes should be illegal. And valve should be ashamed.

  • That's the thing, half of these are red flag that the poster is a sexist dude bro who needs to stfu.

    But when combined with the other half it's describing a very specific type of woman who her self is a massive red flag and a shitty person.

    The sorta dude bro who dates these women are shitty people, but so are the women. It's why they get together in the first place. Both people involved here are shitty people.

    But here on lemmy pointing out a women can be a bad person is as taboo as pointing out a man is a bad person on reddit. Lemmy is just the other end of the extreme echo chamber.

    But I've know a lot of women though my life that you could describe like this. They all in first meeting then would come across as rather self empowered and cool people.

    When in reality they are just the non religious half of the Midwestern trailer trash.

    Really it's a huge red flag that the people in this thread seem to be a only able to see the "positive" traits here and claim the poster is a shit person and not the type of women he's describing.

    If your willing to be blind to the negative character traits then your just living a lie. The poster AND the women he's describing are shit people.

    He's also likely a victim of baby entrapment. Considering the family court line here. It's a rather real problem in a lot of poorer communities. Family court is wielded just as much as a weapon as it is a shield.

  • You would basically have to convince a few hundred million people to not use the internet for months at a time with out a single percentage of them breaking the boycott to actually even start to hit aws.

    Countless things have to start failing before aws even starts to feel it since it's not a consumer product. You basically have the drive all the companies using it to near bankruptcy so they can't afford to pay for aws anymore.

  • Expect for you know the fact Amazon ran 40% of businesses out of business and covid killed another 40%.

    Your option in the vast majority of the case is to get fucked or use Amazon/AliExpress which is just Amazon China edition.

    Which is infinitely worse then Amazon. At least Amazon has basic consumer protections unlike AliExpress.

  • As someone with an allergy to most every form of artificial fragrance...

    It's worse. So much fucking worse.

  • Mr rogers sitting quietly on his chair sad and forgotten... ):

  • You did the one thing you should never do. You assumed.

    You should never do that!

  • Yes. It's literally the only one for the options thats an actual replacement to discord. Not some half shit fucked project that everyone's trying to shoe horn into being one. Or ran by idiots...

    We have loads of alternatives, but no actual replacements other then fluxer.

    There's also the problem that the current trend of open source decentralized bullshit going on is well meaning and has their hearts in the right place. But are so out of touch with reality that unless your chugging the Kool aid you can't in good faith say anything is actually acceptable for normal users. Maybe in another 5 years and if somehow the foss community pulls some UX developers out of their collective asses. But that's unlikely.

    Even fluxer is months away from being ready for prime time. It needs more servers, better support for self hosting and just time. But it at least is actually trying to be a replacement and the developer behind it is actually targeting normal users. Not crack head foss people with no standards and more time then they know what to do with.

    I love me a good over complicated poorly designed nightmare thats overly engineered as much as the next guy. And I do mean that legitimately. Tinkering is what I live for.

    But fuck man... This is a problem that needs a solution that NORMAL USERS can just understand with no explanation. Which is something the foss community is famously unable to do with out a sacrifice of biblical proportions.

  • Fluxer isn't entirely centralized. It has self hosting support.

    It's quasi centralized pretty much the same as matrix.

    You can just opt to not use the central server for hosting services.

  • It hasn't improved in two years. It's not going to. Teamspeak developers are slower than Wayland's.

  • Fluxer exists and is a near 1:1 drop in replacement.

    It's current only real problem is the servers are overloaded. But it has a self host option to bypass that very problem.

  • There is and it's fantastic... The audiobooks for a lot of monster romances are way better then they have any right to be

    A large part of that is the narrators overlap with the lit RPG and cultivation audiobook crowd.

    Progression fantasy and smut go together I guess

    Personally I blame everybody loves large chests for helping popularize and normalize lewd audiobooks to a wider audience and make people expect higher quality.

  • Sunshine has managed to brick my displays twice on Linux. It's wild how poor sunshine is on Linux.

    Moonlight works flawlessly tho.

  • It's more steam just does fucking nothing. Everyone is equally allowed to be as awful as they want.

    Which means the far right who are the worse of us all, get to be infact the worse of everyone on steam. And because they are the worse they stand out the most.

    Valve has ALWAYS basically been as hands off as possible in moderation. For the worse.

    Gabe has always been behind this too. He believes pretty publicly that people should be allowed to say what ever the fuck they want.

    Death threats, racism, sexism? All allowed. Just as positivity, kind gestures, and inclusivity is allowed.

    Just the negative assholes are Infinitly louder then positive people. Because positive people just shut up and go quiet instead of defending themselves or engaging with the assholes.

    Which to be fair is the right call you can't beat an asshole at his own game. He has more experience shit talking.

    Dota, counter strike, and now deadlock all are pretty great examples of valves moderation style even beyond steam.

    End of the day Gabe is libertarian and has stated multiable times that valves moderation is based on his libertarian viewpoints. Valve is self described as a libertarian platform.

    Agree or disagree it's Gabe's platform and Gabe's believes and how he sees things. Your opinions don't matter or hold any sway. Gabe's are the only ones that matter on how valve moderation is done. Don't like it. Then leave.

    It fucking sucks but that's the downside to private businesses. They can do what they want they don't have stock holders they have to please and thus, they don't have to please anyone but themselves.

    So long as the service is consumed the how they run it doesn't matter.

  • He's getting down voted cause judging past eras by modern standards. Is about as brain dead fucking stupid as you can get.

    The majority of all works are sexist, racist or have some form of hate in them. Because that's just history. People were what they were and the faults of the past or the failure is of the writers who created those works. Do not make the works lesser.

    Indiana jones is factually still one of the most defining films in history. While it's entirely their right to not watch it because they find it not palatable. That is a personal opinion and choice.

    But to say the movie is bad because it contains things that they cannot stomach is just not accurate. The movie is accurate and true to the era. It takes place in if it did not contain sexism or racism in instances and circumstances where they would be in fact called for given the time frame. And the movie would just be bad.

    People were different in the past. People of today. Need to get the f*** over that.

  • Hopefully your don't take that approach to everything cause being unable to mentally get over the fact people were different at different points in history. Sure makes it damn well near impossible to be well read or learned.

    You basically are willfully ignorant and blind to history. If you just can't read or watch anything that doesn't perfectly match modern sensibilities.

    The sheer glut of fiction that is so unbelievably foundational to modern literature that is beyond racist and sexist. Is uncountable.

  • The entire point of a reality sitcom is that it takes place in reality.

    Reality has racists. Racism is part of life. There is a difference between a racist character doing a bit because that is what the character would do. Vs a show that is racist because the writers and directors are racist.

    Comedy has done dark humor and racist humor for 1000 years. If you stop allowing it, then you unironically actually just empower actual racists because your now removing a tool to undermine the racism.

    Yeah it sucks when the racist joke or bit is done poorly and lacks the context or nuance to either shine a light on a problem, subvert expections or point out a flaw in society. Thus coming across as just crass.

    But not every attempt is going to land.

  • Just accept shit won't work and drop it cold turkey. Nuke the fuck out of the windows drive and force your self to move on.

    If you don't need to to make a living then fuck it and move on.

    You learned to use a computer once you can do it again. When you didn't know how to do something in the past you looked it up. When you needed an application you churned though options till one worked.

    Shit breaks or is half assed on windows. Your just use to what you know that works. Your use to having your apps your use to.

    Learn to get over the fact you gotta relearn things, find new options, and will be frustrated.

    After like a month you will be fine Basically git gud. You were gud growing up and got bad. Time to return to your childhood and have fun learning and exploring again.

    Also plain ass normal fedora is going to be your best middle ground if you want the widest possiable support of software. Arch if you don't mind a bit more leg work with the aur.
