Americans at large don’t give a shit about murdering civilians and especially children. They do care about healthcare and economy.

Works on my end.

Valve’s Steam Deck is produced on a small scale and is only sold directly by Valve and their global sales numbers are lower compared to even even this years sales numbers of other consoles, which is considered to be the worst year for XBOX ever.

On top of that, new Steam Machine “console” will be sold as a PC and at PC pricing without them subsidizing raw hardware cost. It’s simply unsustainable.

It’s a market with a well defined celling. It always competes against raw hardware cost and you can only subsidize it for so long before you run out money or shareholder confidence.

I don’t think the new high console prices will be sustainable business model going forward.

Valve scale is negligible at least for now. They are very far from being a real competitor.

Not sure if you are specifically talking to me, but yeah I do find it strange.

All the recent lawsuits between tech companies and publishers and people somehow became defenders of publshers when those fuckers are the same people that are exploiting creative people in the first place. Creative people are not the beneficiaries of all these settlements that are happening.

I think it’s all the anger of self-published creators with following who convincing people that they are being destroyed and those people are blindly directing that anger at tech companies not fully understanding the situation.

There are various licenses that do that, but by definition they are not open source. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

They don’t explicitly ban torrenting, but they banned port forwarding in 2023 which heavily limits who you can connect to.

That’s already a service Dell offers…

They remain popular. They were cut not because they lost popularity, but because nobody were willing to improve them and that then allowed racists to win and cut them. Most openly racist modern politician Trump campaigned on keeping all the social safety net programs because they were popular and are still popular, if someone would have campainged on expanding them they would have won instead.

US has presidential term limits because racists were incapable of winning against popular policies back in the day.

It works in a vaccum where economic policy is the same due to uniparty, but again that doesn’t work when put up against popular policies.

It doesn’t work on big enough scale to matter. There is a reason that candidates that run popular policies always pull in racist voters, just like Bernie Sanders did with Fox News viewers and then Trump voters and at this point multiple congress and senate seats have been won by non-white people despite all the racism. Also, it’s easy to counter. It’s a class issue, not a race issue. And polling shows that not only it’s a good policy, but also works as a counter messaging strategy.

Good economic policy beats most social conditioning over time. For the same reason Trump had to stop saying that affordability was a hoax, because even his cult members couldn’t deny that when they are daily confronted by those prices. Americans love to get self-owned for party participation trophy, but everything has a breaking point.

If you tap the working people by offering them meaningful policy to improve their lives even racists will be happy to vote that.

Discord main use case is real time chatting and PieFed doesn’t replace that. It does work better as a support venue, but that’s not an alternative to Discord.

Abolishing ICE should be the only demand, but ignoring that these fucking loosers even cave on their own weak demands.

Masterclass in how to be a loser.

Sure did. This just shows how in their own world Valve is. They really don’t share internal details even with their partners.

wtf is mattermost again?

Open core Discord/Slack/Matrix alternative.

One of the best net public good products Microsoft ever released. I suspect it was personal project for someone at MS who had some pull to approve it.

Not sure what you mean by “biased af accounts” as I think this is like 2nd time ever I posted anything about Loops.

And I offered no opinion over “the most petty shit” apart from mentioning that it exists. Is it suppose to be a secret?
