as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don’t really care what’s going on behind the scenes…

Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago… maybe I’ll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year lol

give up social media? nah that’s too hard for people lol.

page not working on my phone, it keeps blanking out shortly after the page loads. have to try it on my desktop later but thanks for the link!

holy shit, talk about going nuclear. he should have just taken the L, learned from this and moved on…

thats called R&D. I don’t personally spend millions of dollars, but I do spend money on things that never pan out but teach me a lot of lessons I can apply to my next project

this is how I know you’ve never created anything, lol. lots of times, you fail at making something, but you learn from those failures.

who knows what other projects they threw money at and failed, the only one I can think of rn were the steam machines.

I’m sure they learned from those mistakes, tried again, and here we are with the steam deck

I see, thanks

You can bypass the requirements since yeah, they were always artificial.

I think bypassing these checks would eventually render your PC vulnerable? for example, bitlocker support being void for computers that relies on TPM 2.0

oh thank god

I’ll have to check bazzite out. thanks for lmk

can’t wait for steam os to come to desktops, hopefully will happen before the end of windows 10 support

(and got royally pissed at Google for sunsetting its cool Inbox app).

inbox was amazing! closing down the project radicalized me against everything google touched from that point forward lol

not the optoma uhd35, it’s the one I have. 4k60fps or 1080p240fps for when I game.

we have to support the companies that give us what we want, and I voted with my wallet. Im very happy with it

if people like Louis Rossman can change legislation in our favor (talking about right to repair), I don’t see why not

yup, this is what I do. costs about as much as a good TV.

There’s Metroid Prime 4, but… if we’re being real, it should’ve come out half a decade ago

tbf, they were on track to releasing it about 5 years ago, then they cancelled it cause it was not good.

and we have seen what happens when you release a game that should not have seen the light of day (concord lol)

agree with everything else though

I think the problem is implementation. it was constantly a top 10 game on steam for steam deck users, and now they can’t play online because rockstar decides to not configure the game to support Linux. I think thats the issue lol
