Doesn't seem to work on the PS5
Can it run Firefox?
I'm sure it could
If it can Firefox, you can add the UBlock Origin plugin
That's what you get for being dumb enough to buy into a proprietary walled garden, I guess. Sorry.
I understand why you said this but you did not need to act like you have some higher moral standard because of it. Some people want to play video games without having to even THINK about the possibility of a game asking you to tweak a config to get the optimal experience, especially if youre a linux gamer. There are no options for people who want a console without a walled garden. Your closest shot is the Steam Deck, but the steam deck is shot in the knee by every company who uses an anti-cheat.
Before you say they just shouldnt play those games, consider the fact that some people aren't willing to give up things they already have for Something new and unfamiliar they have to spent months to learn and years to master.
It's funny how y'all are getting all bent out of shape at my slightly abrasive tone, while white-knighting the "victims" who excuse their ignorance and vulnerability to advertising/propaganda (among other forms of exploitation) on the grounds of mere convenience.
But by all means, keep dog-piling on the guy who wants the problem to stop instead of those who want to perpetuate it.
That is not the right way to treat each other. Playing the blaming game does only benifits such companies to keep us devided and occupied while they continue to enshitify everything.
People have had decades and 5 generations of PlayStation to learn this lesson. If they still don't get it, that's on them.
What an awful way to conduct yourself. Try and be better my guy.
Imagine thinking tone policing is more important than getting people off proprietary platforms.
Try and be better my guy
Do you realise that we are the overwhelming minority here hanging out on lemmy?
Cause everyone of us could never use proprietary stuff again and the companies wouldn’t even notice.
The vast majority of people just want something that is convenient and where there friends are.
What consoles even exist that would be a viable replacement to an Xbox or PlayStation as I can’t think of one.
This doesn’t apply to me, I’m a PC gamer who plays two games: Minecraft and Factorio. But I’m not disillusioned into thinking that what I see on lemmy is indicative of society as a whole. I’m also quite confident that you would be using things that other people on here might call you out for.
Finally, read the room dude clearly you don’t have the votes here that people agree with you.
Edit: On further reflection I don’t see a reason for your original comment other than to act superior than the other person. Because if you truly cared about their choice you might have offered some example others. Imagine the person didn’t know about why you might be against proprietary hardware, so you imagine your comment gets them on side or alienates them.
You do get to be the second person on here who I tagged as Asshole with the nice badges in Voyager. So congrats.
I have been polite and helpful about this shit for twenty fucking years and, despite that, the "leopards ate my face" ignorance has only increased. Polite doesn't fucking work, so now I'm trying shaming.
But by all means, keep clutching your pearls and condescendingly bitching at me about it, because that's surely polite and helpful!
