I swear to christ these people are the dumbest motherfuckers, and nearly half the country is on their side.

The fact that so many idiots are falling in line with ignorant bullshit is just proof of how political advertising is insanely effective. The stance against vaccines is not a medical one - there is really zero debate there - it's a political one based on feelings, surely a great way to handle medical conditions if you're stupid, ignorant and incapable of even the most basic of critical thinking.

I would just use my desktop for that use case. There's still a small minority of games that just don't work via proton but it's really a minority.

I've also seen a handful of games with linux builds that just don't run properly because they update the game but don't do enough QA to the linux build or simply don't put resources towards linux issues to the same degree that windows gets.

A handful of games need slight nudges one way or another but overwhelmingly it just works. Way better than it was just a few years ago.

Must be some real easy cheats for apex on linux.

I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i'm done with windows.

Honestly, i'm really not that far off as-is. Steam Deck already runs most of my library, it's just the games that don't work with a controller that are a problem.

I think discord is the worst platform. It has the illusion of being free, but it's made by a for-profit business that has for-profit motives. The ads have only intensified since I started using it and like any product following the MBA line of thought, they need to gain critical mass before tightening down the screws of monetization.

I thought the rest of the world wanted the US to mind their business….?

Apparently reasonable is 20 for 9 million, but unreasonable is 4.3m for 9.

The article makes no sense with its numbers, and all claimed costs are out of this world. It’s a soap dispenser. It should be no more than $500.

How come human drivers have more fatalities and injuries per mile driven?

Musk can die in a fire, but self driving car tech seems to be vastly safer than human drivers when you do apples to apples comparisons. It's like wearing a seatbelt, you certainly don't need to have one to go from point A to point B, but you're definitely safer with it - even if you are giving up a little control. Like a seatbelt, you can always take it off.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of stuff posted on twitter only. It's either there or hidden somewhere in the bowels of a discord channel that no one can search.

The internet is turning into the dark ages where getting information that isn't manipulated is basically impossible. Didn't feel so much like this 15 years ago.

People love looking at a figurehead and drawing the conclusion "That person is the problem!!!!!"

The problem is never just one person. Especially in this case, the problem is systematic, pervasive and the solution is utterly at odds with society as it functions today.

Now what someone does with that information is going to depend on the person. I guess my agenda comes down to wanting to direct people to the bigger picture and to stop keeping their head perpetually down staring at a person who has several masters above them pulling the strings. You can look upwards and address the source while also changing the rules that apply to the figurehead as well, no?

To pose a hypothetical: If you eliminate all CEOs everywhere all at once the rest of the executives will just step up and the board and ownership will just carry on their way. It won't fix the problem. If you make it so their comp is limited to no more than what the lowest paid person makes, you're just going to make a supreme court judge situation where the person on top will be a puppet for whoever is willing to bribe them the best in ways that are not easily tracked.

The ~~CEO~~ shareholders just got the lion’s share.

ftfy, target the ownership class first because they have nearly the whole pie.
