Pointing out the existence of racism as a system of oppression isn’t promoting race based fights and the fact that you think it is is so racist it borders on comedy.
“Hey, black people usually get harsher sentences than white people for the same crimes. We should, you know, stop doing that”
“Hmm, actually, it’s the billionaires that are the problem so you should stop trying to pit people against each other based on their race”
Also, isn’t Norway entire military basically designed to counter Russian invasions?
Racism is a very specific term meant to point out the existence of a system of oppression. Interpersonal racism exists exclusively as a symptom of systemic racism, since there’s no societal system that oppresses white people, there’s no racism against white people — of any kind. Reverse racism is racist rhetoric on the level of “all lives matter” meant to deny and trivialize racism. Imagine calling battered women shelters sexist because they don’t allow men.
liable* guilty is reserved for criminal cases and killing parasites isn’t a crime.
Racism is a systemic issue, you can’t be racist against the oppressor.
Haven’t watched TV in so long that when I invited friends over to watch the last Super Bowl, we had to scramble to find a streaming service that had it because I forgot TVs need an antenna to get the actual channels and we don’t have one.
And that’s a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn’t. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as “0 minutes” because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.
Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year’s offerings in 1080p, it’s probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but, unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn’t care about this. So can we stop pretending this is a good product?
“We want competition on the market! …no, not like that!”
Times are different now, there’s no more turning up in a ditch. If you start winning too often, they’re gonna keep an eye on you and try to determine if you’re cheating. If you’re not, they’re gonna ask you to leave and ban you from the casino before you can actually win anything significant — the justification given is that it’s their casino and they can refuse entry to whoever they want. If you are cheating, then you’re just going to jail.
This is sequence, a simple game where you place chips on the spaces that match the cards on your hand. The objective of the game is to complete 2 lines that are 5 chips long. Basically like connect 4. Do you think it should also be rated 18+?
Honestly, I would be suspicious of any kid who doesn’t like eating miniature trees.
Isn’t he probably less than 20 years away from dying anyway?
Welp, good thing I didn’t have dinner because I have to eat my words now.
Are you trying to imply having an “official SteamOS” means you will be able to call Valve to have them troubleshoot your game? Because you can’t do that with the current official SteamOS on the Steam Deck. I don’t think you thought this through.
For some devices, gaming is all they need to do.
Serviceable isn’t good, even if gaming is all you do, you’re better off with a regular distro — this was brought up already in the comment you’re replying to.
EmuDeck, Heroic and Lutris integrate directly into Steam. With a single click you can add a shortcut in your Steam library
Adding a secondary launcher to a launcher is bad design. Again, this is something that I brought up in the comment you’re replying to, along with having to use hacky software that only exists to remedy SteamOS usability problems, of which emudeck is one.
I’m not sure how they can make it any easier
They don’t have to. The problems I mentioned only exist because of SteamOS dumb decision to completely segregate the “desktop” and “gaming” experiences. They’re fixed by just letting me use my computer. Imagine if Steam logged you out every time you exited Big Picture mode, because this is pretty much how SteamOS currently works. I think you guys are cutting a LOT of slack to SteamOS because of what Valve did for Linux gaming but there’s really not a single reason to use it over something like Bazzite (not the Steam Deck version, obviously).
I’m confused, do you think Canonical, RedHat or SUSE are going away in the near future? Or that they don’t have support?
Let me preface by saying I love everything Valve has done for Linux gaming and I’m fully aware that Linux wouldn’t be where it is now without Steam. With that said… I really don’t get the hype for SteamOS on other devices. I mean, it’s serviceable if all you do is gaming but it’s honestly one of the worst desktop experiences I’ve ever had (and I’ve used gnome had many): You need to go into desktop mode to do pretty much anything a regular computer should be able to do and, when you get back into Steam, it closes everything you opened while in desktop mode. This means you have to rely on hacky software to do things you would just be able to do if Steam was better integrated with the desktop. For example, why do I need to install a plug-in to import all of my games from different stores into Steam when I should just be able to alt-tab into whatever launcher I want? No, I will not import other launchers into Steam’s launcher and then launch the launcher from the Steam launcher to launch the game — I’m not a crazy person. It feels as if Steam is doing everything in its power to keep me from leaving it and punishes me for daring to try, which honestly reminds me of a certain fruit company. Now, Valve obviously designed SteamOS to be used with a controller and only for games bought from Steam (which is delusional but I digress), so let’s assume you are that person: you have your entire game library on Steam and you use a controller as your main input device so you don’t see the need to ever leave Valve’s walled garden. Then you’d still be better off with any one of the other 37 thousand distros that come with Steam preinstalled because then you at least have access to the desktop Steam UI.
tl; dr: SteamOS kinda sucks, just use a normal distro. Yes, even if you exclusively buy games from Steam.
At least the Military just shoots the fuckers
No, they don’t.
I also don’t have that drawer, but I have a box next to the toolbox labeled “useful crap that aren’t tools”
