Thank god for Valve and how awesome they've been to Linux users

what a "pro-life" move right? letting a mother and a newborn baby almost fucking die in prison

The fact that this game was actually nominated as "best RPG" with the likes of baldurs gate 3 and final fantasy XVI is ludicrous enough.

Imagine whining about how people prefer to play good games that work on launch.

wow literally every fucking product is undergoing enshittification to a service model.

Typical of Google to shut down yet another service

Ah great another fucking scummy organization that preys off people's data for money

For a few years it seemed like every tech bro and their mother was moving into Austin

Good Lord. This whole influencer/social media celebrity thing needs to die

Google in general doesn't give a flying fuck about your privacy

EDIT: actually, they do care so much about it being shared with them :P

would a raspberry pi count? i've been self-hosting a nextcloud instance and my RSS feed for a while now and i've really been enjoying it

Yeah everyone needs to stop using Chrome.

I'm so tired of big tech taking social platforms and trying to make it increasingly profitable every year. It's just ridiculous.

Remember when social media was created as a concept to talk to other people easily? I'm so thankful for Lemmy and Mastodon and hope to see more decentralized social media networks appear in the future where corporate greed does not impact the direction

wow, i'm getting Death Stranding vibes from this

Here's why:

People are fucking stupid.

In fact, Hamas leaders say that their goal was to trigger this very response and that they're still hoping for a bigger war. It's all part of a strategy, they say, to derail talks over Israel normalizing relations with regional powers — namely, Saudi Arabia — and draw the world's attention to the Palestinian cause.

"This was our plan all along!" Lol? At this rate there won't even be a Palestine to pay attention to...

The opioid crisis in America is fucking disgusting. It makes me physically sick to know that people made so much money off of destroying people's lives through "legal" medicine and they can walk away with a slap on the wrist.

And yet marijuana is still illegal at a federal level. Smfh.

a healthy dose of skepticism never hurt anyone

What are the more "trustworthy" email clients? Thunderbird still good?

This just sounds like a desperate attempt to try and turn a profit before Twitter/X finally shits the bed cuz it ran out of money

Honestly. Medical bills are the number one cause for bankruptcy in the US

Oh no! Anyway...

Cool to see Bethesda being inspired by modders' work and even hiring them

what's funny, if i remember correctly, was that when the show was first announced, i'm pretty sure the author was brought in as an "advisor" of a sort and they were talking about how the show was going to be more accurate to the books than the games.

we all know how that panned out

lmao, imagine saying that bolivians are pro-hamas 🤡

$50 for a port (not even a remaster) onto a last gen console? and not even a PC release?! man i'm disappointed to say the least.

Honestly it's so heartbreaking to read stories like this.

shit just gets worse and worse with these dumbfucks

Wait they're rebranding??

I'm also a UI/UX designer who'd love to help out! 🥸

you really have to give it to Nintendo to produce a console that can be handheld, easily shared with other players, and dockable so you can play it on the big screen. what a versatile system

Jesus fucking Christ, how hard is it to check a firearm to make sure it ain't loaded?? It's like the first thing they teach you in a basic firearms course.

I use EndeavourOS and it's great, but for linux newbies or folks who just want a stable OS as a daily driver i'd recommend some other ones. I used POP_OS before switching to Endeavour and that was a solid one for me

"they're not employees, they're contractors!"

The game that comes to mind is Dark Souls. They teach you the bare bones of the controls and that's it.

Nothing about where to go, what stats to level up, ways to defeat specific enemies, what spells/elemental attacks to use, etc.

I had to Google a lot of things in the beginning.

oh fuck off, jill

well for me i'm mostly just seeing barren lands that ain't worth exploring

Ah yes because religious text clearly states to deny trans people their meds

You mind if I ask what those nightmares were about?

The most patriotic tend to pay the least amount of taxes, eh?
