  If they don’t integrate Proton as part of this to allow all those Windows games to just work, and then also don’t subsequently make at least a token effort to contribute to Proton’s codebase, this isn’t enough for me to care. On the other hand, if they do actually do both of those things I may be willing to end my nigh on a decade boycott of their services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why put data centers in space?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon Musk’s biographer has apparently confirmed exactly that, that all the hyperloop hype was intended to derail investment into high speed rail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My concern here is less about enforcement and more about getting the law passed and through the court system in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They definitely have some effect, simply because they push prices up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the last point, it is easier to tax unfavored behavior into the ground than it is to outright forbid it. That’s why sin taxes exist after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok to dual boot Linux and Windows 10?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The advice I got was the other way around, that you need to remove the Linux disk while installing Windows to protect the bootloader from the Windows installer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Value creation doesn’t have to be a zero sum game, just because that’s what the stock market has turned into doesn’t mean it has to be the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨User destroys local habitat so they can walk barefoot beside "their" lake⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Encouraging/facilitating erosion and damaging the root systems of nearby trees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not entirely true, they stopped minting pennies pretty early on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have spent $7664 apparently.

  A neat metroidvania with a built in randomizer.

  Too bad for you, I’m a fan of DoshDoshington.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Let non-members represent themselves during contract negotiations, or be represented by the union if they are a member. The problem with non-members getting the same benefits as members is that there’s no motivation to be a member in the first place, which means the union has less funds and less negotiating power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Union benefits shouldn’t be given to non-members.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  First, I absolutely see people in wheelchairs on the light rail where I live, that’s mostly a problem for cities where the rail system predates the ADA. Second, I’m very much not forgetting those people, partly because less traffic helps them as much as any driver, and even more because it’s simply naive to imagine that the majority of people with disabilities are able to drive but not able to take a bus or train.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what yeah, that’s fair. There are people that enjoy cars for their own sake. Frankly though, those are the kinds of people I would hope sympathize with the Fuck Cars philosophy the most, as the goal behind the sentiment is (usually) not that cars should no longer exist outright, but that instead infrastructure changes should be made so that not literally everyone needs to drive to live. Changes like replacing on street parking with protected bike lanes, investing in robust public transit networks, and replacing massive parking lots with actually functional construction. You know, changes that get people out of their cars while still reaching the places they need to go, which in turn reduces traffic for emergency services and the people that decide they want to drive anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have yet to see someone that doesn’t hate everyone else’s car, at least during traffic, meaning every driver either also hates their own car as well or they are a hypocrite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hold that view quite publicly and have recieved minimal disagreement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He Blew the Whistle on DOGE. Then His Brakes Were Cut⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, so it was a pretty blatant assassination attempt, not just harrassment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you (or anyone else) end up making one, please tell me, I absolutely want to follow something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe there is anything that requires something unique about the Switch 2 to run, so emulating the original Switch should get you all the games already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t think unpredictable tariffs and rampant deregulation across the entire economy have had an effect on prices?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mermaid⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly her bra are her closest friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is us rail travel so expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume they meant that the service for DC specifically is better than elsewhere on account of it being local to congress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"That is an $11,000 gold texture": Steam researcher says "supporter packs" make a lot of free money because PC gamers love to spend on their favorite games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t talking about gambling stuff, no. To be clear, there’s definitely a fuckton of money to be made off gamblers, but this is just about people buying appreciation “DLC” like soundtracks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MEGA FLAG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, when I reported it as broken I was on desktop as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MEGA FLAG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, and this might be a difference between mobile and browser clients, but that link seems to be broken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This happen to anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are the passwords being stored in plaintext!? That’s the only reason I can think of why special characters wouldn’t be able to be handled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then, it feels dishonest to hide when such a historically unreliable tool is being used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are legitimate reasons to ask for an “all permissions” token, such as setting up and using a third party client. A game is not one of the things that should be asking for that though.
