I see your point, but context matters. The title is saying: “PCs are a superior kind to consoles (and macs)”. Saying that a certain type of technology is superior to another is absolutely okay, even though the same can’t be said for people. Banning certain phrases in spite of the way they’re used will do more harm than good to us in the long run. Additionally, people who constantly get so worked up about the usage of these phrases and words are the same ones who grant them the enormous power they hold over us.

Please don’t start with that again. PC master race is a perfectly fine name and I’m glad they didn’t change it. I’ll just have to make another account.

I’ve heard it’s actually employees sending the threats, not developers. Unsure if it’s true, but if it is, it just goes to show how much of an awful boss Riccitiello is.

Absolutely sexist. I’m honestly kind of dumbfounded by the number of people opposing this. France has done some stupid shit recently, but they are absolutely in the right here.

It’s as if it was only yesterday that I watched him flip nvidia off.

I kinda noticed the first one, but didn’t think it had anything to do with taking offense. The second one I haven’t noticed at all as well as the third one (the third one is especially bullshit in my opinion).

My God, this is still going on. I’m still having trouble comprehending whether this is just a very elaborate parody. The term “master race” is not in any way offensive and even if it is (to a small amount of people) they are perfectly within their right to be offended, but not to ban other people from using it.

I mean, they are. PCs are superior to a console in every way except the price point. Consoles shouldn’t even exist in this day and age, the only reason they do is because of exclusives, all the bullshit around PC parts and more recently bad PC ports.

How effective are VPNs at preventing this? I’ve heard it recommended the most as a counter measure.

It’s still relatively new so it’s gonna take time for it to reach mainstream meme status like Arch or Gentoo.

I mean proton is available in the AUR last I checked. Also, couldn’t you just use the “add non-steam game” option in steam? I’ve heard it does sometimes block pirated games, but it wouldn’t hurt to try

So true! Here, have some internet points and validation!

Ooh, can’t wait until this is in a usable state. However, I always found myself more drawn to older gen games as opposed to the new stuff. Anyone know any really good PS4 games they can’t wait to play on PC?

I’ve used only ublock for a while and haven’t had any issues with sites detecting adblock. Heck, even with the recent youtube debacle I still block ads on yt and haven’t noticed any of the things people are complaining about. Though, I have youtube enhancer as well which also blocks ads.

Shoutout to dbzer0 for keeping the piracy megathread alive!

So we’re talking insults and no one’s gonna mention Serbian… Пуши курац is a classic!

That truly sucks. Yeah, some professors can be like that. I had a math professor offer bonus points to the first 3 students completed the assignment, only for the majority to cheat and just look up the answer and turn that in. It became a contest of who could copy the fastest and one student even admitted to doing it, but she just didn’t care and gave points to the cheaters anyway.

To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

I think it’s mostly a power trip like you said, or just a straight up passion project for those who want to have a community around their niche. As for the larger mainstream subs, yeah they’re just doing unpaid labor.

Kinda. I may have set up a Mac OS VM on my computer and downloaded Final Cut and Logic Pro just to say “Ha! Fuck you Apple!”. I have no GPU passed through. I don’t know why I did this.
