Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.
Obligatory xkcd.
As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.

Fair enough. I guess everyone deals with depression in different ways.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 day ago:
Every comment you guys make just cements how disconnected from reality you really are. There’s also cheap games for the Switch.

But… why? I’m sure nobody at the McDonald’s even noticed or cared about him, let alone who he was talking to, or pretending to talk to.

Nope, you’re disconnected from the real world because you don’t understand the average user doesn’t care about specs they can’t see. You walking back your words now doesn’t mean you didn’t say them. Nobody is putting anything in your mouth.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 2 days ago:
blablabla specs-wise
See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you’re gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck’s hardware.
Nothing I’ve said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.
Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.

lol no. If a company can’t answer what my work hours are gonna be before we even have the first interview, I’m not wasting my time.

AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON’T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.

The base SteamDeck doesn’t have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it’s a well-known and documented practices that console manufacturers sell them at a lose and make back the profits in games. If anything, you’re the one spewing misinformation.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 3 days ago:
That’s a rumor. All we know is that they talked with the dev behind closed doors and he deleted everything related to Ryujinx afterwards. Sure, they could have paid him but it’s just as likely that they just threatened him. Let’s not forget how Nintendo made its money.

A very strong case could be made that dumping your keys and your games is not bypassing encryption.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 3 days ago:
Not sure why this is getting down votes
Because Lemmings are completely disconnected from the real world.

I guarantee your system is less secure than the worst password manager. Humans are inherently bad at choosing passwords, or anything to do with randomness really.

Please clarify what you mean because your comment is giving me these vibes.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
Most websites don’t allow multiple failed logins and, even if they did, the network latency alone would make brute force attacks useless. The point of having a high entropy password is to protect against hackers brute forcing a leaked database of hashes. Having different passwords for every website also protects against this so, as usual, the answer is “just use a password manager”.

Definitely, Dumbledore is much better in the movies. I think the books overexplore his relationship with Voldemort and he comes off a bit daft. All of his interactions with Voldemort are like:
Voldemort: Genocide is cool, right? Dumbledore: No, it isn’t V: You’re right. Anyway, theoretically, how can I become more stronger? D: Are you gonna do a genocide? V: high pitched Whaaaaat…?! Naaaaaaaah! I would never do that! D: Ok, here’s how you become more powerful…

Yes. Americans somehow managed to fuck up multinational chain brands. I don’t know how, they basically invented them.
Disclaimer: I’ve never had one, it’s just every single American friend I have comments about how McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, etc. is better in Mexico.

A lot of people have forgotten gaming and talking about gaming on discord is not the norm. However, in 4chanspeak, “normie” just means “not an incel”.

Yeah but the movies specifically frame it more as “the ministry has been infiltrated” and less as “Harry, your story is shady af”

Are you dumping the water straight into a black hole?
- Comment on Anon is a winner 2 weeks ago:
This is actually addressed in the books. There’s a part when Harry is whining how nobody believed him when he said Voldemort was back and Hermione basically goes “Dude, you convinced Cedric to touch the cup at the same time you did, then you both disappeared and you came back with his dead body screaming about an evil wizard who has been dead for more than a decade. I only believed you because I’m your friend.”

I was with them until my girlfriend gifted me a 180Hz monitor last year and now I can’t deal with less than 90 FPS so I had to finally upgrade my RX580 (I just found out it stopped getting driver updates in January 2024 so I guess it was about time). High refresh rates ruin you.

Oh, brother. Only thing I don’t like about your take is that you obviously have no clue of the history of western music in general and still decided to voice an opinion about it.
