  Been a while since I used windows but afaik docs are much worse on that side of things. At least on Linux you find some command or smt that could fix your issue, many windows problems are unsolvable and completely undocumented. There isn’t even a centralized log system like journalctl on windows so every error is just an alert pop up that says nothing or just complete silence.

  Immutable distros just add endless headache for new users

  I disagree here. Sure it makes copy/paste computing a bit harder but it also prevents newbies from working themselves into a dysfunctional operating system which happens way more often than you’d think. People open a port or set some system variable for one thing and never set it back breaking everything else. With immutable system new users are forced into sustainable, reversible and transparent solutions.

  The issue is that immutable linux is still pretty new so some mutable solutions aren’t adapted in immutable ways yet but if you’re just gaming you should never be on that side of the bleeding edge anyway.

  I’ve converted all my gaming to linux including vr and couldn’t be happier! Even hardware works flawlessly these days with the exception of VR. I’m still struggling to get No Man’s Sky to work on my quest 3 and linux VR and thats really the only thing I’m missing but it seems close to working just needs more fiddling.

  To me diamond looks like a piece of glass. Sure it’s more durable but I think the existence of modern glass ruined any remaining value diamond had.

  Then the things like Swarovski crystals just entirely destroyed any remaining appeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right and I’ve edited that my pov is from tech side after posting but for some reason edit didn’t confirm. Can’t really comment on areas as I work in software but it’s technically illegal everywhere including less developed asian countries but no one is actually enforcing this unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Asia it’s even worse. Standard work day in China for example is 9-9-6 which 9am to 9pm six days a week - remember that next time you see China living in 2070 propaganda. Six days a week is still de facto standard in most Asian countries.

  The best part is that the actual work output is actually worse than five day 9-5 but I guess you have to keep the masses too busy for self awareness even if it costs economically. I’d remote contract with many teams in Shenzen, Tokyo and Hochiminh city and its incredibly how little actual work they get done with these crazy hours and its not due to lack of employee skill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re missing some cultural context where 80% of twitch streams by women are just softcore porn. It became much more diverse and acceptable now but soft sex workers were huge on Twitch without even doing much of actual sex work.

  I’ve started evaluate all free (as in freedom) services to match my entertainment subscriptions (I.e. netflix) and this ended up being avg 5$/mo min wage for all free services that I use which is very reasonable expense. All things don’t even add up to 100$/mo in my case and the value much outweighs that!

  Bless be the foss priests 🙏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Theres plenty you can care about that isn’t billionaire pop stars or famines. I really despise this argument.

  Theres so much optimistic shit these days and education has never been this accessible. Join a book club, environmental club, local community, hobby niche, care about different countries and regions.

  There are literally a billion things you should care more about than a billionaires getting engaged. It’s frankly disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, why not both?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t wish all the best to any billionaire.

  You’re a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they’re working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My recommendations:

  • Aurelia is an adventure point and click where you move to a cozy fantasy town. Beautiful art and presentation and just good erotica all around with reasonable puzzle and rpg gameplay.
  • Third Crisis is an ultimate gooner game. It really goes out there and if you’re into that sort of thing and it’s really well made.
  • Kaiju Princess hang out with a girl who’s secretly a kaiju monster

  Most steam erotica games started out as poor quality visual novels or clone games with titties but the scene is really shaping up to something much more interesting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the brain fills in the gap

  To expand on this, current leading theory (predictive processing) says that brain first generates a visual image than confirms it with inputs and if there’s no input to confirm/deny the halucination it’s just accepted as is. So we can have a whole load of blind spots in all of our sensors and continue functioning rather well with an ocassional artifact.

  If anything Steam showed us thay 60$ game is a stupid idea. Free markets pay what they feel like paying and thats when creators and consumers are the happiest not some fixed random price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sony and Xbox is not true capitalism because their consoles are not free markets so of course they dont like capitalism when they benefit from absolute control and can fix the prices for everything in their ecosystem.
