fantastic game. forreal

you are a nice person. 😊

done! huzzah!

and they will lose. because you can’t stop the signal, Mal.

oh gods yes. every time I switch to desktop mode its a gamble. are we going to get to the desktop home? or am I going to have to unplug and replug several times until it does?

I’ve had a lot of these issues with the official dock. i hear 3rd party docks are much better and more consistent than the official steam dock.

but I spent 90 dollars on a lemon and now it’s been too long for me to return it. so I’m stuck with it now.

if you’re not opposed to using your already existing device, I suggest an app like ReadEra which uses multiple eBook formats.

if you’re uncomfortable using google play to download it, there are also fantastic libre readers on fdroid and independent sites that will also work beautifully.

i just like ReadEra cause it has so much customizability. and its one less device to take with me on long journies.

it seems he had banned a user for account names that were inappropriate and is being accused of being transphobic as a result.

i didn’t see any evidence in the screen shots posted that shows he did anything harmful. just a lot of accusations.

my TV incurred my wrath by having the gall to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

so I promptly cut its balls off. (disabled the internet entirely). now it is a dumb TV. and it behaves like a TV. and not an ad machine.

if that comes to pass in the form of a mod, you will not hear a word of dissent from me. I’m an eternal bard prepared.

if you throw halsin in the mix this is every playthrough ever for me.

these attractive men in my damn camp. sheesh

I’m getting tired, man. these people are truly just the shittiest individuals ever.

i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.

they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.

i use Freetube on my deck which you can set the default video resolution to 1080. works well in gamemode.

…pardon?

you automatically assume I’m some weird corporate drone? you’re not exactly making your case very clear and you sound patronizing.

I’m not entirely certain who this rant is for, but i can’t imagine anyone who is labeled as a “consumer of the internet and not a citizen” is going to take you seriously.

and for that matter, those with good heads on their shoulders won’t either.

Stop blaming random people for the bullshit that corporations do and get away with. you’re pointing fingers at the wrong people and it makes your cause look fabricated.

Better tech education would definitely help take some power away from corporations

If you truly believe that, then vilifying more “simple” and less tech-savvy individuals is not the way to do it. Don’t be angry that they click on ads. Be angry that they’ve been poisoned to think that behavior is normal on the internet.

Education is absolutely possible for those new to things like the fediverse. But education doesn’t work when you use those labels for people. It widens the gap, it doesn’t close it.

I’m not sure that categorizing people as “normies” is a great idea. nor is it a way to entice new people and voices to join and learn how to use the fediverse so that it can become a more reliable place.

i think blaming enshittification on “normies” is a lot easier than holding greedy corporations accountable for directly making everything worse. it’s surely easier, but the real issue remains unchecked.

if anything, it’s a good thing that more people are learning how much better the fediverse is. it helps the fediverse get stronger, not weaker.

“us” vs “them” is not a mindset that will produce anything except cesspools of toxicity. at least imho.

what exactly does that mean?

oh my goodness! is that an abyssinian kitty?

i do not need the cable, but i just wanted to say the cat is beautiful. <3

considering decky broke completely when the new update dropped, a new version of decky was needed for most of us.

thank you <3
