Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

People. Lots of people. Including Doctor Cory Doctorow and Molly White.

I don’t know how to do that

Pretty sure you can get it to say just about anything with the right prompts.

People need to stop acting like Grok is a sentient being.

You can blame whatever or whoever you want, the problem remains.

And bots. Don’t forget the bots.

Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now?

To my knowledge, no. They just have a 1-click on-boarding process that you’re constantly harrassed about doing.

Right but turning the VPN off invalidates the purpose of using a VPN. And even if it didn’t, it’s not convenient to disable on both devices and then turn it back on. The whole purpose of this software is convenience.

Unless it was released with the Steam Deck…?

Was it around before the Steam Deck?

I can say this confidently: the most killer features on the Deck originated with the Steam Controller.

I have to strongly disagree. The killer feature is Proton (if you consider that a feature) 😀

QuickShare, AirDrop and LocalSend all use WiFi, which can be a problem when using a VPN (it is for me).

The “internet drama” exists because the product is a reflection of the leadership.

Like I said, Briar is better

Briar is the much better and much more mature version of this.

messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks. No internet

So he’s made a shitty version of Briar and crammed crypto into it?

We’ll never have self-driving cars en masse, because for some reason society has accepted that humans make mistakes and sometimes people die, but they can’t do the same for robots, even if they make far fewer of them.

That’s not really helping though. The fact that you were transferred to them in the first place instead of directly to a human was an impediment.

And if you “write” me an email using Chat GPT and I just read a summary, what is the fucking point?

Fuuuck, this infuriates me. I wrote that shit for a reason. People already don’t read shit before replying to it and this is making it so much worse.

You can’t:

I don’t have real-time browsing capabilities or access to specific databases to provide a direct source for the information.

The answer it provided me prior to this, I know from actual research, was completely wrong.

commit to Steam Deck and Linux

That is taking a lot of liberties with the wording here.

1. They only committed to not intentionally breaking Proton. They did not “commit” to supporting anything.

2. They didn’t say anything about Linux, specifically.
