To be fair, nerds will tell their tech-illiterate friends about this change and probably influence them enough to consider it. Especially when it’s something as easy as downloading an application.

It’s much easier to switch a browser then it is to stop using Google, Facebook, etc.

As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.

I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U…

Same, friends. I don’t care what operating system people use, as long as Valve keeps supporting Proton and making it possible for me to game and therefore stick with Linux.

Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

This argument always bothers me.

Do you really expect people that are involved with child pornography to go “Oh well, now that it’s forbidden to have private messaging I guess I will just stop looking at children, because the law is the law and I have to follow it.”?

These people know they are breaking the law and I can promise you this. They will find a way to privately exchange their shit while the rest of us now have even less privacy…

Yeah it’s really weird. I have done what OP has done for a while now on an Nvidia GPU and Pop!_OS with KDE and have had 0 issues. I don’t use a 2x2 grid though. Can that really be the issue?

Maybe pay off would be so far into the future that they don’t want to risk it? Who knows how long crypto will be a thing.

It’s worth mentioning thought that Microsoft did step in after they bought Bethesda to get the game to even run at 30fps on their consoles.

However, I very much doubt that they would have tried to compromise the vision of the game after paying premium for the company. Keep in mind that Bethesda had delivered some beloved games in the past.

The mistake was to trust them. A mistake that it looks like they don’t want to repeat with Blizzard judging by the huge amount of layoffs.

Why not just say “no, thank you” to such an invitation?

I still very much remember a very very early denuvo that broke my fucking CD burner. Since then I’ve avoided them like the plague and check every game before I buy it.

I know that it has gotten better and “only” costs performance nowadays, but the hate I have for that company is still there.

Mint to Arch?

That’s like saying: “ok now that you have driven your for first car for a few weeks it’s time to fly your first plane. Good luck.”

That is one explanation, but imho a more likely explanation in the spirit of Hanlon’s razor is that he receives 100s of crazy texts like this on a daily basis and one of them just happens to somewhat align with what crazy shit he is doing now.

Easy, just call it xxvideos.

Yeah that’s disgusting. I wish OP could provide us with a link or a name so we know which streamer to avoid.

For people like me that hadn’t heard bout the theory.

“The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity”

Read the rest of their posts. It doesn’t seem like they’re being sarcastic.

Also judging by the picture it’s more of a white-blue than the bright blue used by emergency vehicles.

While I was also part of some niche communities back in the Reddit days, thanks to Lemmy, I switched to Linux and have found interesting new websites, tools and apps. So I’d say overall it’s a net positive.
