- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
While I understand your point, I think it’s unwise to read too much into the language very close people may use. I have forever called my wife “Gorda” which is “Chubby” in English even thought she is not and has never been chubby, it’s a nickname she loves.
Same with my son and daughter, we have all sorts of pet names and inside joke language which won’t be understood by anyone outside of our circle without explanation.
Ultimately, language is no different from physical contact… I rough house my grown kid to show him love (and probably to see if I still have it hahahaha) but I’d never dare do that at work (very on the nose example, but you get my point I hope)

That’s just some Murican bullshit, it’s what happens to people raised by reality tv
It’s harder to do the right thing, it’s tough to be truly kind.

- Comment on House members erupt into a screaming match following senators forced removal from press conference 3 months ago:
I’m not fabricating anything… they are literally using a word wrong and we should not be “well, they meant xyz”
Whether they “don’t know” or just “made up a new meaning” is irrelevant

- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 4 months ago:
Well, the truth of that is quite a bit different than how you put it, and it’s also more carrot than stick.
True, I misremembered… however, this is anti-competitive practice 101 anyway
What Microsoft did surely sucked for everyone, but fortunately, we live in a world where their recent efforts to do similar things aren’t working.
But the fact they keep trying these anti-competitive strategies and have no consequences for them is a problem. We cannot rely on “it didn’t work for them this time” as if that is a solution because next time it would work for them and then we are all fucked for another few decades
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 4 months ago:
I learnt most of the story from this book Renegades of the Empire
The story is summarized here: gist.github.com/kirkegaard/1055336
It’s all about how DirectX/Direct3D was launching and competing with OpenGL (the open standard).
In a nutshell, MS literally ported games for free to Windows (Doom95 being the flagship example) and/or subsidized the development of games for Direct3D so there would be no appetite for OpenGL.
This is equivalent to Amazon or Walmart selling their stuff at a loss until all competitors go bankrupt
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 4 months ago:
when Windows “challenges” others, they don’t compete on merit… it’s easier to blackmail game developers by threatening to kick them out of Windows / Xbox platforms if they develop for Linux… this is how we ended up with “windows is the only os for gaming” back in the 90s

only a truly mentally challenged cop would be unable to overcome that situation
by your logic I could call the cops on you and they should take you in even though we may not even be in the same country
