It doesn't even look that bad. I don't know what he's complaining about

Looks like the start of an indie horror game.

I really don't understand how these people think. A person reliant on government funding and immigrant workers votes for the guy who campaigned on cutting government funding and getting rid of immigrants.

I'm using Bazzite with the Microsoft Wireless Controller and it's working fine with one caveat. The controller requires a firmware update that requires a Windows OS or an Xbox.

Gaming on Bazzite has been great although trying to figure out how to install software on it is a little bit more difficult since it's an immutable distro.

Large corporations would be able to afford to make deals with ISPs to give them preferential treatment so that access to their sites are faster than others. This is good for social media sites whose whole business model is monetizing their users. Things like the Fediverse would be hit especially hard because of its distributed nature.

ISPs can offer further tiers of plans making it more expensive to access websites that don't belong to major corporations bribing the ISPs. All the corporations win in this scheme while furthering the enshittification of the Internet.

Want to use Linux? Accessing those sites is difficult and expensive so why not use Windows instead

Want to use Mastodon? Sorry but that sites super slow so how about Twitter instead.

Want to use end to end encrypted email? Too bad. The connection their servers are super spotty. Better use Gmail or Yahoo for email like everyone else.

The bad sites are likely the ones to not require a fee to access. It would be smaller sites and the Fediverse that would become more difficult and expensive to access.

Why pay to access Mastodon or Lemmy when you can use Twitter and Reddit for "free". It's a scheme that would benefit large corporations over smaller independent services.

Exactly what I was thinking. Changing the name on a Tesla would work on me because I can't tell cars apart but the Cybertruck is obviously a Cybertruck. I can't think of any other car manufacturer that has ever made a car as distinctively ugly as the Cybertruck.

One of my favorite quotes is "A Republican would eat shit if they thought a liberal would have to smell their breath."

I read your comment while a streamer just said the exact same thing. No politics on his stream because entertainment is to relax and not get stressed out.

She's saying that like the US was just shipping cash to Ukraine. I'm pretty sure all those aid packages were actually giving the money to various defense contractors to purchase and then ship the military hardware to Ukraine.

I don't remember who said it but I feel it sums up their beliefs the best.

Conservatism is the dread fear that somewhere, somehow, someone you think is your inferior is being treated as your equal.

I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

 

I've gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I've been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.

I just tried this tea and it was very good. I'm not a big fan of cherries but I have been drinking it almost every day and like it more than the Cinnamon Black Tea I bought at the same time.
