You know. This sounds like some shit Terry Pratchett wrote about in “Making Money”. Product is making money hand over fist, but never turns a profit so they sell it to themselves with its own money or something.
- Comment on TikTok ban loses momentum as fewer Americans view it as a security threat 17 hours ago:
I’m so tired of people who literally won’t look at their threat model and admit that this app could even potentially be a threat to them in any way.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
Yeah I guess that tidbit was added in later by OP when people started asking questions.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
The cafe has bins. OP amended the post admitting that they do. The bins are inside, but either way, they do exist.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
Yeah but the Cafe does have bins inside. It’s just the park that removed the public waste bins.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
Littering used to be illegal most places. It should be illegal pretty much every public place. If you’re breaking the law, you’re criminalizing yourself. This is like saying we shouldn’t resurface roads because it criminalizes speeders.

And they should be fined for dumping.
- Comment on This fucking bot is still out there messaging 2 weeks ago:
Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **
- Comment on Is someone falling for this crap? 2 weeks ago:
I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:
Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I would trust it.

Didn’t know this was a thing. Can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it’s dumb and wasteful of people’s time, including baristas.

- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 5 weeks ago:
Just about to put everyone I know who has the latest gen Xbox had trouble acquiring one. The pandemic messed up the launch of both games and the manufacture/availability of the consoles and unlike the switch and PS5 (which have worldwide popularity), the Xbox just never seems to have recovered because Americans went from a point in time where they had a lot more free time and potentially money (with the stimulus), right back to the grind with stagnant wages and housing crisis etc. Can’t say I’m surprised that it’s not selling well these days.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 5 weeks ago:
There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 5 weeks ago:
The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally bany post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.
More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They’re upset because it’s just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

- Comment on What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection. 1 month ago:
I don’t know if I’d considered it a board game, but the Forbidden Island game (and the others like it) spring to mind. The idea is that you and the other players have to work together to gather everything you need including the treasure you came for before the island you’re on sinks into the ocean.
It’s fun working together and I always thought it did a good job of incentivising that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
People don’t want to wake up. They see horrors every day and look no further than the surface of them. They are horrified by things they do not even begin to understand. But they’ll push a narrative if you put it in front of them and they feel reasonably selfrighteous about it.
That’s why nobody is out there actively eating the rich and becoming the Luigi they want to see in the world.

The secret is to get filthy rich, I guess. Money ≠ Repercussions.
- Comment on The $900 Ayaneo 3 is the most exciting PC handheld the company’s yet made 1 month ago:
Ayaneo have always struggled with steam os integration, but it probably will have a Bazzite variant.
docs.bazzite.gg/…/Ayaneo_Handhelds/
I don’t see why you’d spend $900 on this when you could get a better handheld for that money but I’ll give them this, the swappable joystick/button thing is cool.

- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 months ago:
There are problems with the law as well. The main one is that Tik Tok buys a whole lot of data about Americans and their browser history etc from data brokers. So they don’t necessarily need the app to gather information. Comparisons of the Tik Tok app vs it’s counterpart in China exist and they paint a pretty significant picture of the differences and similarities that explain how it could be used to push a narrative or propaganda. Barring that though two things can be true. It can be true that Tik Tok is a danger to national security, and also be lobbied against by American Tech companies.
What we’re seeing is that this law was the result of several things and doesn’t just have one singular aim. Anyone who says it’s just about one singular thing just doesn’t want to admit the validity of the other arguments because it ruins how they feel about the federal government, Tik Tok, China, Trump, Biden etc.

Having never used the air B&B app or website I don’t know if there is an option that differentiates the two.
- Comment on "2 bedroom" AirBnB. 2 months ago:
When you buy a hotel room, don’t you get the room to make sure it’s what you want? Same applies here. If you contact them I’m sure they’d happily explain the accommodations. If not, give them a bad review and move on.
- Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years? 2 months ago:
Can you give some hard examples of what you mean, and a contrast of what you would expect from a non-american please? I’m reading through this post and I don’t know what you’re seeing. It’s not clear to me given what you wrote so it’s hard to pinpoint which behaviors you’re referring to.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 2 months ago:
COD - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (RICHOCHET).
Paladins - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (EAC).
GTA V - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).
Destiny 2 - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).
This is the fault of the developers themselves not making those games compatible with Steam OS, and has nothing to do with Steam or Linux and everything to do with the developers themselves. So, if you’re going to at the blame game, blame the correct people.
I don’t know about VR in Linux, but it looks like the other people in this thread have me covered on that and they have explained in detail what’s going on there.
I’ve been on this space since the original steam machines. You either have no idea what it was like 10+ years ago with Linux gaming, or you’re being willfully ignorant and not finding out anything about what’s going on now and you’re salty for reasons I don’t know and don’t care about. Do not at me. I don’t care what you have to say if all you’re going to do is be sardonic and caustic. You have a nice day.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 2 months ago:
Said the person who did no research has no idea what they’re talking about. Steam OS has been pushing game devs and publishers to be more compatible with Linux, not less. Additionally, the only online games that really have problems with steam OS are ones that require kernel level anti-cheat, and we all should be pushing for the downfall of that. It isn’t necessary.
- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 2 months ago:
Then people didn’t even check and I honestly just assumed it was residual hate or an assumption of defense so while this clarifies things it doesn’t really make it any better.
If the community is going to assume everyone knows what’s going on, then that’s on them.
