I will create a masto instance where this is mandatory to counter balance

I haven't used Windows at work in years for anything, not for cloud hosting, not for on-prem, not for employee machines etc etc. until the cost-cutters came in and forced Teams and other Microsoft crap to squeeze the market during inflation. The company is just waiting to be killed off now.

Respectable, I'm the opposite, whenever in at the office I feel like I'm clawing at the walls to get out as quickly as possible, the sweat, the noise, the people, it's just not my thing, at home I live alone in a decently sized apartment in a non-major city and it feels so cash compared to rammed trains and buses commuting for hours and hours like the last chopper out of Saigon.

It should link to comments by default, no? Comments is the content on text-based platforms like Reddit and Lemmy both.

I tried to use Bitwig but I just couldn't in the end. No single click note delete that I could find out how to do in a reasonable amount of time and the workflow is just different enough to FL to me to irritate, it seemed like really nice software for Ableton-minded folks though.

I caved in and dual booted Windows 10 with all the shite modded out/crippled, for music and for VR gaming.

Honestly - you do you and have fun! Don't listen to those who moralize/pathologize this, it's pure slave morality shit, especially amongst Christians. Just make sure you're doing it for you and not for society.

I only ever hear that in movies. I assumed it happens if you eat low grade meat or smth like in the wild west in the US back in the day and it just became an old wives' tale turned pop culture myth.

I do actually not like spicy food though, especially Chinese and Indian, but I've had enough of it to know I never had any gut issues.

We email now and then. It's enough.

Jfc some people got some fucked up dads in the comments here, leaving, slamming people through doors and table legs. My dad was okay, he had a bad attitude but I think he understood dedication and hard work and taught me to love it too. Haven't spoken in years, but I think about him now and again.

I don't have any issues with Xorg honestly, it just works and always has for me. I tried Wayland as a default in plasma and I couldn't get gaming to work at all, and I had weird issues watching video in the browser. Really odd that it's a default in kde imho when even the steamdeck is all Xorg (or gamescope. in gamemode.)

The world isn't benefitting from your research, you benefit from the world's research based off your own research, on and on it goes and we all get smarter and know more and strive towards bettering our condition, curing our ills and minimizing suffering and maximizing happiness for all.

At least in my opinion it's why scientific research while a truly neutral morally activity and generally done as an end unto itself - from a broadly humanist standpoint - is worth pursuing, even when the immediate benefits aren't seen by the shortsighted.

Yay! Maybe I'll give Wayland a chance again when all these issues are ironed out.

Nah my S.O. is down to game and does so more than me because she's unemployed, but I on the other hand don't have the time for it.

Where would I ever get time for that? I don't have kids but I'm genuinely curious. In-between chores, upskilling and work and S.O., I have absolutely zero time to just sit down and game, and even when I do, I have no energy.

He spoke his mind, which is allowed as far as I'm aware.

I have all that on Jerboa.

you made up an argument that I never made

Original comment I'm responding to states:

so the total cost of ownership for a switch 2 probably still stays under the total cost of ownership for a handheld PC.

That point is incorrect. That is the point I'm disputing.

Maybe chill out bro it's ok to be wrong on the internet, the world goes on.

Btw, these 9 titles would have cost a switch user just €540, if all of them were AAA games at full price. That too doesn't factor in that the figure from Nintendo includes massively popular cheap indie titles or the fact that even Nintendo games sometimes go on sale.

Yes, I'm a heavy buyer of games, but those games cost £12 on average, not £60, nor anywhere near to that amount, even if it's lower due to the few indie games that get console releases.

€540 for those 9 games is roughly more than half of what I spent in the last decade on 430-ish PC games. It's literally why I even have more games in the first place.

So even though I have more games on paper, I don't spend more paper, capische?

And I certainly don't spend more per game than the switch user, which makes your claim misleading.

In fact the opposite is true and most PC gamers are notoriously stringent in spending on games.

Wait, what?

First of all, PC gamers don't buy a ton of games.

PC is the number one piracy platform for starters, seeing as it requires no jailbreaks and the like.

Secondly, PC gamers tend to own a lot of games legitimately because our gaming library doesn't expire with a console generation, and because our steam libraries consist of many many indie games that cost a few bucks each, not a few $50 AAA releases.

My steam library is about 435-ish games. But that's since 2013.

The total value of the account per steamdb is like £1080, this is a vast over-estimate because I used to live in a country where the entire GTA series before 5 cost £0.20, but let's go with £1080.

If I bought £1080 worth of standard £60 games, I'd only have 18 games. That's actually less than I even had for the PS Vita, and most people would be surprised to know that platform even has that many games.

Between the online fees and subscriptions to PS Plus etc., lacking discounts compared to steam, and the inability to pirate even an extremely high end PC tends to be far, far cheaper in the long run than a console, especially since it also doubles as the TV, the music player, the work and hobby computer, etc etc.
