apps centered on polyamory tend to be far less hostile to its users. I assume it’s because a user getting one or two good relationships out of the app doesn’t lose them those users.

yeah I’ve got nova and klwp and theyve isolated me from a lot of the bs but not all unfortunately.

edit: someone really hates nova huh? 😂

I’ve got the issue where secure folder keeps giving me notifications and if I try to go into it it just tells me I don’t have a sim card. comes back every day. otherwise the switch has just been miserable and I’m spending about half the time on my phone just trying to get everything back to normal (or at least the same level of functionality. thank God for nova and klwp or id be losing my mind.

I’m not sure I can give up helldivers at this point tho.

yeah we primarily watch on a Samsung TV through a PS5. I’m not seeing any alternatives for either device. I might be able to slap together a desktop from spare parts but I’m not sure I want to start maintaining a whole other computer.

Probably time to make a switch either way, what with them paywalling HDR and h.265

what’s with h265 that’s everyone’s acting like it’s some massive hurdle that you should have to pay to be able to use files with that encoding? that’s one of the things Plex has paywalled already and it’s becoming harder and harder to find good quality content that isn’t in that format.

from my experience with some libertarian 2a people I’d agree with this. I was surprised how indifferent (good) they were about minorities and trans people considering how they vote. honestly having a pro-drug, pro-gun* platform would win a huge chunk of them. and both of those would also be good for oppressed minorities (imo).

actually sitting here thinking about it do we have any figures on how much tax money gets pumped into prison systems that rely on drug enforcement to fill? not to mention the military industrial complex. cuz I know leftists like to riff on libertarians about “I don’t understand how taxes work” but there’s a lot of tax money going to things I don’t agree with either.

*more like “sex positive” in the sense of education and safety and not shaming people who partake. not whatever the NRA is doing.

not free. get this garbage out of here

wow that one actually made me nauseous.

hey don’t you disparage bourbon like that. bourbon isn’t a fascist :c I hope

that’s kinda just how monster hunter works tho. it’s mission based. and you’re both on even footing, it’s a bit disingenuous to call that dark souls style coop

This is the only real tenable choice.

But not Professional? Just Enterprise?

Also this is very much not the same world as when XP came out, considering you can accidentally upgrade your os instead of having to watch your father angrily fail to install service pack 3 for four hours.

And why Fedora?

id imagine most of those people are on rednote

a shoestring

light mode gives me migraines dude. it’s more important than just a color preference.

ty for writing this. it actually helped a bit.

I was going to say this is so beyond someone being racist or your favorite musician turning into a conservative shithead… which, it is, but… that helped. thank you.

lots of very very rich people

I agree with the “focused on fun” comment. feels more like ow1 where it was balanced by everything being broken.

personally, as someone who was absolutely in love with ow1, ow2 just isn’t the same to me. I’ve never been able to see it as anything other than the regrettable cash grab that it was. I could never really enjoy it. rivals tho? rivals is fun. and I don’t have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me I’m just playing with the taxidermied corpse of a game I once loved.

also rivals is just kind of solid? the characters might be a little bland because corporatism and fitting an already designed mold but the game play is rather fun.

and im v much not a marvel fan, supeheros in general are just kind of meh. tbh the only superhero media I’ve vibed with at all is doom patrol. moon knight was p good but it doubles down on the “killer alter” stereotype and I’m so not here for that, nor do I like his gameplay in rivals.
