Strange. I had no idea Argentina was part of the United States, but it must be because Trump is very definitely America First and would never lie to his loyal and incredibly gullible supporters.

I know the Steam Deck's affordability has a lot to do with Valve being extremely aggressive with its pricing as they make their money on increased Steam sales, but it's been out for 3 years now and I'm surprised there hasn't been an x86 device that comes close in terms of price/performance.

Elon would've absolutely malded about this one.

Fearing political backlash because your game features a slave fighting the KKK says so much about the current state of the political climate.

Weird how generative AI peddlers promised this stuff would usher in some kind of Star Trek post scarcity society and so far all it's delivered is slop content and learned helplessness.

The thing with Candace Owens is that it's hard to know where the performative grift ends and the mental illness begins.

I'm so pissed off about this Google sideloading thing. It's going to destroy the android app ecosystem, and for what? So Google can control even more of the web? Legitimately evil company.

F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository For the past 15 years, F-Droidhas provided a safe and secure haven for Android users around the world tofind and install free and open source apps. When cont...

How is what Google's doing with sideloading not considered monopolistic since it effectively destroys alternative app-stores like F-Droid?

Google's requirement effectively strengthens their walled garden. If not monopolistic it's definitely extremely anti-consumer.

The annoyances of Windows are increasing while the annoyances of Linux are decreasing and Microsoft are going to keep doing things that are going to reach people's breaking points.

Asmongold is like that Chef from Ratatouille where the rat speaks to him except the rat is dead and it's rotting under his bed somewhere.

Yeah, I still need to boot into my Windows VM on occasion. WinBoat looks promising though. Being able to run Windows apps seamlessly in Linux without even having to think about the VM is where it needs to be eventually.

Windows has coasted too long on casual users fearing switching to an unfamiliar operating system but I do think they're pushing more and more people to their breaking point where the inconvenience of learning to use Linux far outweigh putting up with Microsoft's endless bullshit.

Absolute dogshit.

Yeah the future for Android devices looks bleak. A lot of people in the android emulation community are pretty unhappy about it as a lot of emu devs aren't going to want to hard over their person info to google.

I completely agree. I just hold out some glimmer of hope it causes customers to shift towards software that doesn't treat users like this.

The cool thing about Libre Calc is that I can create spreadsheets without having to worry about an AI trying trying to guess what it thinks it should insert into empty cells.

The aggressive forcing of AI into every software product is one of the worst things to happen to software. Rapidly accelerated enshittification.

Think the last time I paid for a game at launch was Tears of the Kingdom, but only because I'm a huge Zelda fan.

SteamDB SteamDB is a database of everything on Steam.

steamdb.info/sales/ is a good site for filtering games by discount (and other categories) as well.

I have over 200 games in my Steam wishlist for this very reason. I have more than enough games in my back catalogue to play and it's rare that a game has me hyped enough that I feel the need to play it immediately.

Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account Microsoft is disabling the best local account workarounds

Fuck Microsoft.

The AI bubble is going to make the dot-com bubble look like a blip.

There is no joy behind those eyes.

Hypocrisy aside maybe the penny has finally dropped for Mr Beast and he's realised that he's competing for the same demographic that loves watching AI slop. Fuck you dude.

Please enjoy 10 seconds of a fat groundhog enjoying an apple at my sister's house 😊

Yeah so that doesn't work. The Parallel core in Retroarch on Android is outdated so my last remaining options are using an unofficial android build of mupen64plus someone made with the fix (I'd rather not) or trying to stream the game from PC. It shouldn't be this hard to emulate a single romhack.

There's no such thing as a good social media platform. Just platforms that suck less than others.
