We probably don’t agree.
I probably said something you didn’t like.
You look lovely, by the way. New shirt?
I did the same the other day, although I’m dual booting as I still need Windows for a few things (namely Photoshop.) Slowly getting used to Linux though, and it does feel… free. It’s extremely nice. Games run better (I mean fuck, the entire computer runs better.) I already use GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8, so it’s nice to have my PC finally move towards privacy too.
I’ll legitimately be moving to Linux today. This just broke the camel’s back for me.
Living in Australia means piracy is essentially legal - individuals can only be taken to court for the cost of one physical copy of the pirated media, so companies don’t even bother as long as you aren’t distributing. The more things in this area get worse, the more justified I feel in filling up my 10TB HDD.
I checked my account through the site and they don’t seem to have shit other than my current display name. When did they start collecting this data?
It’ll be such a surprise when it turns out all 10 have been suicidal for years and/or extremely susceptible to infection.
I regularly emulate Switch games on my RoG Ally Z1E, and it pulls it off so fucking well, I haven’t touched my Switch since I got the thing (it easily runs every title I’ve thrown at it at 60fps+higher res, plus I have the ability to mod games if I need to.)
I can’t imagine it’ll be too difficult for them to emulate Switch 2 games, assuming Nintendo don’t catch on to emulation developers too early.
Cool, please do.
Happy I stuck with my older Samsung dumb TV. Great screen, decent size, flat enough to mount on a wall, and does everything I need it to do regarding hooking up my little i5/8GB baby office PC turned media hub. I don’t care that it’s only 1080p, looks just fine when I’m in bed and watching movies on it. Even when smart devices were first becoming THE thing to have, the idea of having to download updates for my TV got me thinking about the more nefarious aspects of such tech the future may hold.
I think a lot of it comes down to me just not being very materialistic, or needing my household devices to be internet ready with installed apps and no way of managing permissions or data harvesting. Even my cars are older, and were made well before integrated SIM cards and constant data collection, and I’ve no plans to upgrade any time soon. I guess I just never ‘got’ the appeal of having a smart device that wasn’t just my phone (and even then, I barely use any apps on my phone outside a web browser (which eliminates the need for most apps anyway) and the camera.)
No, and the answer isn’t policing speech. The block button exists for a reason. Use it.
Legitimately yes. You can call me whatever you like.
I’m not going to start censoring my own speech, thank you. You don’t have to agree with it.
I have autism and ADHD, so no, I won’t stop using it. I don’t like the idea of a word having any real power, which restricting its usage does. There is no debate here for me, I am completely against that kind of thing.
The very same AI that shows pictures of black people with dreadlocks when asked to show a typical viking also has a braindead response for a question involving Hitler and a guy who posts retarded tweets and regularly pisses off his shareholders? I am shocked.
AI is still so ridiculously tainted by bias and the relative infancy of the tech.
Is Session actually secure though? I know they’re based in Australia, and as an Aussie myself, holy fuck would I not trust this country for even a fraction of a picosecond with anything private or sensitive. We have some of the world’s most draconian and far-reaching digital privacy and surveillance laws, and I’m not ready to accept that Session hasn’t been secretly compromised by the AFP, given the law against revealing government backdoors.
Happy to be proven wrong, but I always err on the side of extreme caution when it comes to Australia. Digitally, we’re closer to the CCP than any of our fellow western nations.
I was a member of What.CD back in the day, and holy fuck, the elitism was insufferable… but the amount of genuine lossless music was unlike anywhere else, and the site was so well organized.
I thought you were exaggerating, but after checking it out, it really does feel like a mid-late 00’s website, and goddamn do I fucking miss it. Everything online these days is flat, overly-simplified, absolutely corporate and sanitized to fuck and back. I feel like, on an atomic level, I’m closer to a frown than a neutral expression when browsing most of the internet these days.
Also Subnautica itself fucking rules, good to see their website has just as much effort put into it.
“I don’t expect to see any change in how we do things.”
Oh, this is going to age like fucking milk. You belong to the shareholders now, mate. They’ll MAKE you change how you do things, and you’ll love it.
That’s fucking brilliant and would actually make me not hate shopping with a passion. That system just makes so much more sense.
Not OP, but I went with PopOS. I’d used it in a VM for a few years, so I decided to install it when I finally decided to make the switch after Microsoft decided to reveal that dystopian “record everything on your screen, coming to a PC near you soon” bullshit.
