Youtube is worse. If you click “dont recommend this (far-right rage-baiting) channel” it says okay, and then leaves you alone for perhaps a week.
After, right back to square one as that channel is in your recommended feeds

Quote from a HN thread
My main game console right now is one of those little gaming boxes you can buy on Amazon for about $400, where I have installed NixOS + Jovian to get the “SteamOS” interface.
I really like it. It really does feel like a “game console”; usually when I’ve made my own console using Linux, it always feels kind of janky. For example, RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi is pretty cool, but it doesn’t feel like a proper commercial product, it feels like a developer made a GUI to launch games.
I have like 750 games on Steam that I have hoarded over the years, in addition to the Epic Games Store and GOG, which can be installed with Heroic, and the fact that I can play them on a “console” instead of a computer makes it much easier to play in my living room or bedroom. It even works fine with the Xbox One controllers; I use the official Microsoft USB dongle to minimize latency, it works great.
I think there actually is a chance that Valve could really be a real competitor, if not a winner.
I have one of the higher-end beelinks. Super small, quiet, doesn’t get hot and I can play modern AAA titles on it, driving my huge screen TV in my living room.
Can you quantify this? Which Beelink? Are you powering a 4K TV? When you talk about playing modern AAA games, which ones, and what settings do you run at?
Fortnite, Cyberpunk, Starfield, probably others I’m forgetting I believe the TV is 4K, yeah. It’s the Beelink SER9 AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 12core/24thread AI PC Turbo Freq 5.1GHz

I agree in principle, but then the “boost attendance” quote seems to suggest that more kids are coming rather than the same kids are performing better

I’d argue that it wouldn’t happen under the monarchy, because the monarchy has always had a tenuous hold over public opinion and their livelihood could tip either way depending on how the public was feeling.
But under a system where the powers that be are beholden only to shareholders in major companies? No, those countries have more in common with Sparta than a democracy
- Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday 4 days ago:
I dont like the monarchy, in the same way that I dont like the BBC.
But to remove them and replace them with something far far worse? No thank you.
I’m weirdly glad that some of my taxes goes towards experimental green towns, or part of my license fee goes towards high quality educational kids shows.

Heh. And yeah the conservatives at the time sounded almost as bad as the ones we have today – wielding the power of counties with almost no constituents (e.g. the empty ancient city of Sarum had 2 MPs, the undersea city of Dunwich had huge voting power, and the Isle of Wight transparently bribed the few sparse voters it had because of how large it was)
- Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday 5 days ago:
The reason being, that when the king dies, it’s been tradition to dissolve parliament and call for a new election. The conservatives at the time did not like this because they lost 100 seats (after, um, killing 500 people at a peaceful protest in Manchester)

- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 5 days ago:
Sometimes I look at rich and influential people, and literally splooge myself over their inherent greatness.
Look at the sword. Look at that ring. Look at those ears. Not only a face a mother could love, but a whole adoring nation, ready to get down on our knees, unzip those royal garters and just go to town on that royal member.
The weight of responsibility, balanced with a diplomat’s wit, grounded by the sheer heft of the royal johnson keeping him firmly tethered to the plight of the working class.
That scrumptuous smile, so coy and yet so understanding, why if he were a duck I would eat him raw

- Comment on ‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge 1 week ago:
Mark Sewards, MP for Leeds South West and Morley, argued that consumers were asking for a “fairly simple” guarantee from game makers: that they won’t suddenly be left with nothing after purchasing a game.
“I am not demanding that publishers keep servers running forever,” he said. “Campaigners are not asking for indefinite technical support. We are not asking companies to keep pouring resources into a game that they have finished with. What we are asking is fairly simple: that publishers should not be able to deliberately disable every copy of a game that consumers have already purchased, leaving them with nothing.”
Sewards argued that the end of support seen in many modern video games wasn’t the same as an electronics company ending support for an old printer, because it “still prints documents”.
“What we are seeing with games is different,” he said. “It is as if someone bought that printer, and then one day the manufacturer sent out a signal that deliberately stopped it from working at all, claiming it had reached the end of support. That is not support ending; it is obsolescence, which has an entirely different meaning.”
Much respect for this MP and to Leeds for electing him. I genuinely feel that he understands the problem, and has conveyed it in a very palatable manner for debate.
