lol ok
It isn’t robbery if the builders that built your house put hidden trap doors in it and periodically sneak in to steal things and take photos of your private life, it is just a normal, safe part of owning a home and keeping it secure!
Surely the homebuilders dont make a killing selling all that private information on the side… and surely they dont keep all that private information stockpiled in a large centralized juicey target for criminals!
“Narrow nothing, kink is fine, but it isn’t appropriate in public. You just want to subject people to your kink against your will (which btw flies in the face of safe, sane, consensual.)”
I agree heterosexual cis gender white men have a huge issue with not getting consent! They should really keep their creepy kinks (like for example domestic abuse or racism or making creepy unsolicited comments to women… and girls) out of public spaces.
The hilarious thing about your argument is that it applies to cisgender heterosexual white men better than it does to furries.
Not that it was a good argument in the first place, it seems like you are unable to confront how narrow your view of the world is.
“I’m not that old, but I remember a time when people wouldn’t generalize and stereotype each other based on political leanings.”
I remember a time when people had to band together to fight back dinosaurs in order to stop them from terrorizing villages.
Want to write a history book with me?
We could call it “Bullshit That Clearly Never Happened”
To be honest I dont see anything productive to this insight, you are just talking through your own silly meaningless prejudices where you can’t resist sexualizing the totality of an identity in order to rationalize your disgust for it, nor can you resist casually associating said identity with the potential for violence.
It is a bit like picking your nose in public, no one is really interested in seeing it.
If bigots are allowed to redefine violence as an opinion, it is only reasonable to redefine “addressing the concerns” of bigots as punching them in the face.
meh, of course there are good people with good intentions, I am not doubting nor even talking about people’s propensity to help in a disaster, rather it is the suffocation of daily life in the US that thoroughly demonstrates the pathology of cruelty in the US.
We hate homeless people, we dont give a shit about vets, we spit on people poorer than us and rationalize not feeling empathy for them precisely because they are poor… there are plenty of nice people in the US but a lot of them are addicted to exclusionary and hateful ideologies that effectively nullify their kindness except when society signals to them “this is a crisis”, which is ironic because the US has been drowning in crises my entire life, the suffering is just deemed invisible and not worthy of turning our empathy circuits on for.
Trajedy of the commons is not inveitable, it is how people behave in barbaric societies with ruthlessly little compassion for anyone suffering, it represents a failstate of deeply dysfunctional societies (like the US).
The point of capitalism as a system is to create scarcity and crisis and then profit off of it. Stability and abundance are existential threats to the ruling class.
Why would a rich capitalist who owns seafood company give a shit how few oysters are left in the ocean? An extinction is just a chance to make killer profit right up to the end and then exit the industry and invest somewhere else like antidepressant manufacturing companies that have to meet increased demand from people being sad the ocean is dead.
How shameful when a ecocide is so complete that there isnt even a direct record of what was stolen from future generations.
I will never not be pissed off that the overwhelming majority of communities that made the internet vibrant especially when nerding out about niche stuff just happily moved to discord and foreclosed their futures.
Everytime I get down on the fediverse I think about what discord did to online communities I loved and I get fired up again.
I use Square Home and for my icons I use the Shimu Icon Pack. I jack up the icon size to fill the square home squares, turn off text and leave it at that. Simple square shapes (why does everyone lovvvveee rounded???) with clean and colorful pastel colors, just the way I like it!
I don’t know, I was originally a big windows phone fan because I loved how minimal and clean the UI is. I still still think the entire phone market has been going the wrong way ever since with 3d backgrounds, super high resolution wallpapers, lots of fiddly animations and text heavy interfaces which makes no sense, after the 1000th time looking at your home screen you are literally never reading any of the icon text?? You aren’t consciously perceiving a highly detailed background. So why have it? Do people really think that the way the human brain works is after the 1000th time looking at a familiar scene the brain’s visual perception literally reads the same damn tiny text over and over again? That would be an exhaustingly inefficient way for the brain to process the world.
Ughh I hate how android is either an apple cargo cult or somehow even worse.
Welp, at least I can set my launcher to whatever I want!
(High resolution cool backgrounds are cool, not trying to hate on other people liking them).
Fundamentally you dont have to let the game you are playing perceive the gyro input directly at all, the game sees it as mouse or gyro input. That being said make sure you arent sending joystick input and mouse input at the same time, that can break things in many weird ways.
The simplest solution is just to make everything appear like mouse and keyboard which again bypasses the game having anything to do with gyro input before it is safely converted to normal mouse input.
See my comment here if you need help finding and copying steam configs.
careful just like how violent video games will make you a stone cold killer addicted to violence eventually the addiction to speed will consume you until you become a lawless street racer straight out of midnight club. I have seen it happen over and over again to friends, eventually consequences always catch up with them… and they always end up losing their car in pink slip races to some new guy to the street racing scene who is shooting up the ranks improbably quickly and even has the eye of the coolest-most-badass street racer’s hot ex (who also street races)… it is a damn shame .
Hey, can I join in!
Fuck you Microsoft
Ultimately the theft of the ruling class from the average artist and person in general is so staggeringly big that who gives honestly gives a shit anymore? Support game devs you like when you can by buying their games from stores that pay well to the developers and artists… but f&$@ big game companies, they dont need your money, they aren’t going to give a meaningful amount of it to the artists and or programmers doing the actual labor anyways so shrugs.
When Nintendo comes after people for emulating (especially old) games they aren’t protecting anything other than the ownership class who wants to continue to charge rent for absolutely every aspect of our lives whether they rightfully or ethically own the things they are charging rent for or not.
If at first you crash and burn… well I mean it is Beam Ng so doesnt that mean you are actually playing the game right?
That might be a reason to maybe consider some competitors of the Steam Deck that are a bit more powerful (but have their own tradeoffs, primarily that the wholistic experience just isnt going to be as good as the steam deck is right now), I don’t know the Steam Deck might run 4k fine but I’d be hesitant to recommend it, that is so many fucking pixels lol
Can you actually use steamdeck as a desktop PC though?
Depends on how many pixels you “need”. Running high resolution monitors, even for basic stuff can get costly performance wise pretty damn quick, but in my opinion that isn’t really asking the same question as whether the Steam Deck can be a good desktop.
You can absolutely use the Steam Deck as a desktop, I frequently use my Steam Deck in desktop mode… using the onboard controls. The only real limitation of the Steam Deck so long as you don’t expect it to be a top of the line gaming pc, is that most people who buy it are never truly going to be able to give anything else other than a mouse and keyboard an honest go, they are too impatient and won’t believe it can work but the sky is the limit for joystick+gyro input (our touchpad + gyro) for computers/gaming.
Fragmentation is a concern but it isn’t the real issue, the issue is corporate capture of the commons as far as I am concerned.
