  • Guns are useful for a fearful populace, to give them the illusion of some kind of control.

  • Someone finally thinking of the shareholders.

  • Soon *nix will be the only legal fetish. Until they get to it.

  • This is an excellent observation.

    We now no longer have the debate over whether or not this content is necessarily harmful to minors. It's now automatically bad, and the new framing is: shouldn't we ban bad things?

    Should expect more of this kind of newspeak/doublespeak as the Trump years continue.

  • Red states are about to get even more "freedom".

    You get what you vote for.

  • when prices are expected to drop

    Keep it up, media. Let's make sure people notice that shit doesn't actually go down.

    The real problem will be when the media stops reporting on prices altogether.

  • But will the free speech absolutist chime in?

  • When will we start holding these people accountable? It is easy to say "corporations are bad" and then sit on your hands. It's different to start calling out the people who ultimately make the corporations evil.

    We have whole classes of people comfortable fucking people over -- sometimes with deadly consequences.

  • Hey cool, one more excuse to see a rich person get away with everything

  • Kind of funny that this kicks in the day before an inauguration.

  • I've primarily been using PopOS, which has been fantastically stable and very easy. I have an all AMD system, but my understanding is that the nvidia version of Pop also makes some of the nvidia driver stuff a lot easier.

    I also play on Arch sometimes, but realistically you probably don't want bleeding edge stuff if the point is just making sure games work. That's where the relative stability of something like Pop / Mint / even just pure Debian comes into play.

  • Frankly I just shouldn't have put the mostly. I've literally had one issue in the last year. Point is: just try it.

  • I mean, he did give a generous "personal donation" to the Trump inauguration.

  • It would have saved an absolute mountain of bad press. And upset customers.

  • Proton is a much bigger deal than SteamOS itself. It's what allows you to play Windows games on Linux -- often with better performance than on Windows due to reduced overhead.

    That's all been available for a while. The cat is out of the bag

  • Requisite "you don't need to wait for SteamOS" post.

    Gamed on Linux for over 2 years. The time is now. Shit just works (mostly).

    Edit: and yes, you can often get better performance on the same games with the same hardware.
