That’s the case because of the capitalism of course but somehow Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft were mostly able to restrain themselves in that regard. I guess they face more scrutiny because their finances are public and Valve can pretend to be your friend because you don’t know how much money they print with electronic gambling. Valve has more in common with EA here.

I’ve looked into this back in the day and once you factor in price of the adapter it comes to a similar cost and looks really clunky. Even though looks don’t matter because it’s at the rear, I’d be worried I’d break it because it protrudes so much.

PS5 originally launched with 825GB drives and Slim increased that to 1TB - they’re reverting that change now.

I can browse normally now (phew!) but in Voyager pretty much everything stopped working for a time.

I tried to search as wall and came up empty - sorry! My best guess for this brainfart is that Valve dropped support for 32-bit on Mac relatively recently and that was after Mac client has been 64-bit for quite some time.

With Slavic languages it’s never a simple word-based analysis - they’re highly inflected so you need to lemmatise text first which is a bit hit or miss when done automatically. I assume author of the graph did that manually for fascism because it’s a loanword and there’s less ambiguity to account for but it gets tedious quite fast if you really get into it. I got into it once in my mother tongue (Polish) and that rabbit hole goes really deep. Here’s a brief overview of how that process looks like.

IIRC this has been announced as well couple of months ago.

I haven’t had a computer running Windows in my home for like a decade or so but I get exposure to it because of working at large corpos. Frankly, LTSC + proper policy set by administrators is okay for day to day work. It is kind of annoying and decaying in terms of usability but the core experience hasn’t changed that much. My partner works at a company that doesn’t use LTSC and that’s a big oof - unwanted features get shoved in your face all the time, breaking basic functionality like search etc. I can’t even imagine how it looks like in a regular consumer version.

I rarely pirate stuff on Mac but I’ve had this saved in my bookmarks: https://www.torrentmac.net/

More obscure stuff might not be well seeded but I haven’t found anything better.

AMD might be cooked. They were hardware vendor of choice for console makers because they were the only ones with x86 SoC with somewhat capable GPU. Awkward timing though because next gen console hardware is likely more or less finalised.

Also, probably RIP ARC.

[edit] Intel says ARC will live.

Saved you a couple of minutes.

For some of us reading for leisure is the whole point of having minutes to spare.

Silver lining is that at least you can buy a regular M2 NVME SSD, unlike with Xbox. Had to pay something like €150 for a proprietary 1TB drive because of my life choices T_T

I just read that those 14g of ethanol is an equivalent to 0,33L lager. Daily drinking is still alcoholism - get your life together, chimpanzees.

You’d still expect it to be larger share because they take a big cut (licensing fee) from third party physical sales too.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between criticism of action and criticism of character, I haven’t engaged in the latter yet.

Yes, you seem to revel in it which was my point exactly.

Ad hominem, you must feel so clever.

I think you forgot to make a point in your comment, unless saying my opinions are dumb is everything you wanted to communicate. In that case, may I ask you to elaborate on why you think that is because all I’m seeing is a speedrun of Godwin’s law.

Microsoft is a huge company so unless it’s the gaming division doing the Gaza genocide then you’re engaging in an actual whataboutism that you dislike so much.

Mentioning Valve when I Iiterally only mentioned Linux and MS is whataboutism.

You do get your games through Steam, don’t you? It’s a fairly safe assumption given that you stated you play on Linux. Valve monopoly there is even stronger than on Windows.

Gaming spaces are full of pointless negativity these days so my „whataboutism” was meant to showcase that much of it is rooted in tribalism, serves no other purpose than to feel good about yourself and it can cut both ways.

That there is the main reason I left reddit. Go find some windmills to fight.

There’s plenty of gaming communities in the Fediverse to pick from, you won’t find me in other ones.
