Fuck off. Thanos was a decent person who had a good idea.

Musk is a piece of shit.

He was very much the Elon Musk of his times, and it’s very possible he would have gone down the same route of extremist views and decisions that completely failed because of his egoism.

Some interesting points, and some things I disagree with.

Firstly it’s annoying he keeps calling it his idea and trying to enforce this concept that the current internet needs to align with his original goals. That’s stupid and ignores that things will go where they go, he can’t control them.

So his first point about centralisation being an issue isn’t that big a grievance. But his second point rings true - the issues around our data and advertising have grown significantly and the Web is getting much worse as a result.

I actually think the solution is just government needs to step in and regulate it, along the lines of what the EU is doing. Realistically I think that’s the only solution that’ll help. Doing some grassroots movement and hoping it picks up steam is just unrealistic. Like looking at Lemmy and Mastadon - they’re great but at this pace they’ll never take over the other giants in the space. You need someone to step in and force the change.

My reading of chip wars and similar chip fabrication places is this stuff takes decades to develop and is insanely expensive. Is that not the case here?

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Yep exactly this. The user friendliness and likeliness it just works is much higher for Windows.

If it doesn’t work for Linux I’ve found it also will generally take much longer to figure out and fix.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

You’re thinking of now not the future. It’s a great device at the moment. But it’ll become out dated with time and it’ll be easy for the next steam deck to be shit or for shitty practices to come into play.

And using the example of piracy/other stores means every device is fine. Just hack the device/remove the shitty practices and you’re good to go whether it’s a steam deck, Windows, Etc.

Steam already has a fair few shitty issues like its promotion of gambling.

Gabe will pass one day and the enshittification will happen, it’s not like Steam is immune at end of day. People need to stop glorifying companies.

Sorry, here you go since you missed the comment seemingly.

“It will never happen. Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.”

Did you even read what OP said lol? It’s right in front of you, the first sentences. If I’m being dishonest then you are on another level of insane/lying.

Let me explain it to you since you don’t seem to understand.

OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal.

I say no, that’s not right.

Other poster says well if you look at this one example, they voted together!

I said looking at one example isn’t reflective of the whole picture. That I can just pick another example that shows they don’t vote together. You need to look at it overall instead of cherypicking facts that suit you.

Do you understand the logic there and why what you wrote makes no sense?

I can make it simpler perhaps if you need it.

Wow. Thanks for cherry picking one thing out of hundreds to show your point! That’s a solid way of arguing.

Would you like me to cherry pick an example of one which disproves you? Or would you like to examine the evidence as a whole and actually properly examine it?

This sounds a lot like the one party “they’re all the same” bullshit that right wingers like to propogate.

Because make no mistake, one party is at least trying to push laws through that help (democrats), versus the other which just openly fucks people and doesn’t give a shit about helping out.

Are you a boomer?

Just because you don’t like or understand something doesn’t mean it’s not a job. I think it’s a bit ridiculous myself but at end of day it’s no different to being a celebrity for whatever reason and it’s still a job.

Why is it cutting corners though?

Ideally you’d have the option for both a central stand and the two sides in the one box, but then that’s being wasteful and bad for the environment.

There really isn’t a good option here. In that case I’d say it’s on the consumer to figure out beforehand what the stand is and decide whether they like it or not, not on the company to magically know what stand the consumer needs.

Many companies do shitty things but this stand issue really is a non-issue.

Well I guess they just so it to annoy people then. There’s no other reasons why they’d do this right?

I looked up the shittiest TV brand available at my local electronics store and yeah, they do list the width with and without stands.

And if you plan on putting your TV on a table that is way too small, then I’d double check where the stands sit exactly, because it’s not a design problem but a you problem.

People need to stop blaming their shitty planning on “bad design”. It’s the most common sense design that will work in most cases.

Next you’ll have the guy who puts their TV on two separate chairs complain about the bad design of TV’s that only have a single stand in the middle ffs.

This is not bad design, it’s just common sense.

People are way too entitled is the problem and assume that their bad planning/thinking automatically means something is badly designed. Blame anyone but themselves.

OP blaming their shitty decisions on others. Why are you buying something without knowing its dimensions?

Fuck I hate people like this. The answer btw is pretty obvious. From a weight distribution perspective it’s easiest to have two feet as wide apart as possible.
