I hate the Steam Deck! /s

I mean, I’m half joking but I used to sleep in bed and now I waste like 2-3 hours on Balatro instead of falling asleep at an appropriate hour.

It’s okay, it’s hydro powered.

I just bought it based on this alone. Early-access and FPS games aren’t typically my thing, but I like the cut of this person’s jib.

Yup. I’ve just been purchasing games without the Verified tag now because I’ll just be like: “yeah that seems like it’d work and it typically does”.

I made the mistake of installing Stardew Valley on it for 1.6. Oof, I’m playing it everywhere. Very bad when you can’t handle your addictions well.

Yup, I didn’t buy the Steam Deck to do 4K ray tracing at 120FPS. I bought it so I can pick up any Steam Deck Verified game and play it without relative issue. Being able to suspend the game immediately and just knowing things work beats fiddling with Windows on a handheld.

I mean … I saw that for some reason when I logged into Windows 11 yesterday it had the NBA score in the bottom left. Who the hell asked if I wanted that?

Went back to my Linux/Mint box as I rarely use my windows one but that pissed me right off.

How much of that is the NHS getting now? /s

Phind.com is pretty good for programming stuff, it’s AI but it cites it’s sources.

Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.

I’ve had to remove a lot of recommendations. Man, PragerU, Crowder, Shapiro and Joe Rogan were in my feeds. Jeez.

You’re absolutely right. I was trying to get what I hoped was the salient point out of the person’s post.

I knew a few guys in Europe I think maybe Austrian or something where they came from lots of money but went to school with “others” and they seemed pretty well-adjusted. Although, they have a lot of the other advantages that you’ve listed as well.

I think making the rich mingle with the normal people more would be beneficial. It’s harder to dehumanize the poor when you’ve met them. Can’t call them lazy or stupid and just not “wanting” it enough when you see them work as hard as you and not getting as far.

Although, I think the way things are it’ll never happen though. Nepo babies would dodge everything even if something like this were to occur.

A few months ago my director started discussions on return to office mandates. No one else really paid any attention.

I went in today and nobody is here, including my director. I don’t think anyone thinks the commute is worth the value they’re pitching.

I should have slept in an extra two hours.

I have a reminder to cancel Amazon Prime in a month. I never really used the TV portion until a few months ago and was like, fine … the selection sucks but it’s alright. After they introduced the ads now, it’s unusable to me. I’m getting rid of it entirely and not rewarding this type of behaviour.

I’d be riding an ebike right now, if I knew how I could park it safely :/ do you typically bring it with you?

I think it’s 'cause we know more about him. I think if we knew he was a whimsical dude and legitimately trying to help people instead of enriching himself, we’d see these pics and give him a bit more of a pass.

The accounts are so important that you’re willing to lose sales in that many countries?!

First time watching Lemmino and I’m an instant subscriber now, it was a great video. Not gonna lie the bait at the end was really enticing and I hope that this does get solved soon!

I was upset because I bought my Oculus headset before Facebook acquired it and then forced me to have a log in of theirs.

I decided not to have a Facebook account for a reason. Mainly because I don’t trust the company with my data. As enticing it is to have a VR headset and I would love to for their price … … I just don’t want to give Meta any more of my cash.

What’s happening in VR now is that Meta is licensing their Horizon OS so maybe other manufacturers can make their own headsets with Meta’s OS on top. That introduces another problem because I don’t trust that their OS isn’t spying on me either …
