It’s sarcasm. Twitter introduced a feature that allows you to check the country from which an account was registered. Hundreds of pro-MAGA accounts turned out to be from the countries listed in the OP.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 2 days ago:
I could never get into Gears due to writing. Tried 1 and 2, dropped both. I finished 5, almost binging it. It was super fun.
Ignore the weirdos online claiming “the series is dead” because “wamen protag”. The character is fun, well written, and well acted.
- Comment on Had to look this up 6 days ago:
In general, there are two main search indexes: Google’s and Bing’s, with a bunch of smaller ones here and there.
DDG uses Bing and Yahoo, mainly. Their own index is relatively small.
Brave says they use their own index.
- Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:
Just FYI - Startpage is also using Google’s search index, so you’re kind of also “googling”.
- Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:
What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Well, I am still under the - maybe naive - impression that people understand context.
If one user writes about “The Troubles” (capitalised), and another mentions “the Manchester blast”, my expectation was that a person is able to put 2 and 2 together and google “The Troubles Manchester blast” at the very least.

God forbid people posting the most exciting gaming-related hardware news of the past 5 years on a Gaming community! Must be all paid shills, I gues.
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 1 week ago:
The hardware is also the ambitious part - if they managed to figure out cooling of that hardware in that form factor, it’s one of the most impressive feats of recent years!
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
Which is what leads me to believe that they caught an error in the report and needed to re-print it. Halting it now wouldn’t change anything financially.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
They haven’t been doing too well recently. The trade halt is because they’re afraid that everybody would read the halting of the report as admission they’re barely afloat and start dumping shares, killing the company.
- Comment on Day 483 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Love these posts! A small suggestion: could you add the title of the game in the post title too in the future? :)
- Comment on Pow-- 3 weeks ago:
but you’re denying history by saying the soviets didnt win the war
I’m stating facts. Soviets didn’t win the war on their own. They’d be rolled over if not for UK/US help. Berlin would’ve been taken by the Allies even if the Soviets were sitting on their asses.
The victory in Stalingrad and the pushing of Nazis to the west happened well before the opening of the western front by the USA. You’re literally lying here.
When did Lend-Lease start?
When did the Battle for Britain start?
Who supplied the resistance movements in occupied countries?
[everything else] Literal Nazi propaganda
I guess my grandmother was a Nazi propagandist.
EOT, I don’t have time to talk to russian-brainwashed people.
- Comment on Pow-- 3 weeks ago:
The fact that you’re even questioning that the USSR defeated Nazism proves that you have no idea what you’re talking about. 80% of dead Nazi soldiers were thanks to the eastern front. 25 million Soviet lives were eliminated in the struggle against fascism.
Buddy, who supplied the half the rifles and 90% of ammo that the ruskies used on the Eastern Front? Who supplied the fuel, trucks and tires? Who supplied the food, and even the fucking uniforms?
And who opened the second front, forcing Nazis to divide and defend on two sides, allowing USSR to actually start pushing back?
Oh no, the atrocities of universal healthcare, free education to the highest level, industrialization, guaranteed employment and the abolishment of homelessness
You mean the atrocities of political purges, the elimination of intelligentsia and military officers, the russification, the brainwashing, the poverty, the mismanagement, the hunger and millions dead?
There is no peace with Nazis, they only understand genocide and invasion.
You know what? Looking at russia right now, I retract my previous statement and have to agree with you here.
I didn’t say the word “Russians” in my previous comment. I mentioned the USSR
USSR == russia, but slightly larger, but relatively the same on the “shit-stain of the world” scale.
Have some respect for all the brave soldiers who fought so that you can spew bullshit online today
I have respect to the soldiers who fought. I don’t have respect to those that raped and pillaged the entire way to Berlin. Unfortunately, the first group was considerably smaller than the second.
- Comment on Pow-- 3 weeks ago:
Good luck debating Nazis
Who said anything about debating?
The USSR famously defeated them
LOL, good one! :D
BTW, you can thank them for being alive today if you’re European.
I’m from one of the countries that suffered massive atrocities under the bastards.
I suppose you decry the violence that the USA exerted on Nazi Germany?
I suppose you don’t understand the difference between war and peace? Actually makes sense considering the bullshit you’re saying about russians…
- Comment on Pow-- 3 weeks ago:
All fundamentalists should be reeducated.
Reeducation through violence is the methodology of totalitarian regimes, like the Third Reich, the USSR/russia, or China.

I’m 99% certain that homophobia stems from dudes being gay/bi but brought up in a “conservative” environment, so there’s a clash between what they secretly want and what they perceive as wrong.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
Step by step guide for GOG (or Epic):
- Install Heroic Games Launcher
- Log in to your GOG account.
- Install and hit play.
(Heroic will use Proton or Wine for the compatibility layer and you will (most of the time) have zero issues with playing games)

It also makes no sense that there would be nothing for an infinite amount of time
Time only started existing after the Big Bang. Before that, there was nothing.

Hmmm… Maybe it’s a regional thing, where “cracker” means something else than it means here, where I’m at.
To me, a “cracker” is salty and crunchy and would be great with some mayo.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS 4 weeks ago:
You can definitely tell when FPS goes below 30 for a time. If it dips for a moment, it’s practically unnoticeable.

Games don’t crash on Windows >because of Windows<. Games do crash on Linux >because of Linux<.
As in: games are inherently compatible with Windows, while on Linux you need Wine/Proton, which is just an extra layer of complication that can cause problems.

They did, yeah. Stupid move, especially just before the Ally release, but shareholders must be appeased.
But, other than the price, it’s been pretty great while I used it. Lots of day one releases, lots of less known titles I would never have tried if not for GP.

The gaming experience on Windows is to get interrupted by updates constantly
*gets updates literally on the same day every month with 14 days time before a forced update*
*complains about getting interrupted by constant updates*
Sigh… I’m not even going to comment on this. Can’t fix fundamentalism.
but this isn’t even the first handheld gaming device to show a performance delta in Linux’s favor when tested
Because, overall, Windows 11 is badly optimised and MS already fired all the competent developers, so, yeah, it’s going to happen. But what Windows gives you, is the guarantee that if you have the hardware to handle a game, it will run. Any issues will be on the side of the game, not the OS.
I don’t think many people are experiencing this stability problem you are, as it doesn’t reflect in many reviews
That’s also part of the “Linux gaming experience” - with all the distros flying around, almost nobody will have the same exact experience. Sure, if everyone installs Bazzite on the Ally, it should be a relatively uniform experience, but - again - I fail to see the point in going through all this, losing the (apparently) excellent touch UI and a unified gaming library, just to get… 6 FPS extra. In one power mode.

My source is just an example of gaming experience on Linux.
I run Garuda (Arch-based) which is a distro “for gamers”. The experience is great, I love it. Everything works fine… most of the time.
But, until Proton got a couple of updates, I was just unable to run Mafia. Until Proton got a couple of updates, Hogwart’s would crash randomly. Right now Cyberpunk runs fine… until it crashes during loading sometimes.
That’s the gaming experience of Linux.
All that for a +6.6 FPS average, and no GamePass.
You lose access to Windows store
Windows Store is irrelevant, you lose the XBox (App)-installed GamePass games, which means that you lose access to a tonne of XBox games.
