Was coming here to mention emulation as well. I don't own a Deck, so not sure how it does with PS2 emulation, but if it's good then OP could just play the MC games instead of alternatives.
I've heard people call the whole spirit animal thing disrespectful if you're not from the appropriate culture (Native American?). But, the fursona comparison is a first for me and I love it.
Yeah that's also fair. I didn't experience that part since I was stuck in my home at the time so I forget the struggles that others experienced at the time.
And he could have just worn a mask instead. Less effort, it actually works, it's easier to put on and remove. But there would be tons of excuses instead.
Seriously, FUCK YOU if you peddle this hussle culture grindset bullshit. I feel so sorry for the poor souls that fall for this shit because no one ever taught them any better.
There's Mastodon for your microblogging. There's Pixelfed for posting pictures kind of like Instagram. Loops for videos like TikTok. There's many others as well, but this should be a good start.
You're clearly not the target audience. Every slightly popular game has its whales. Something as popular as GTA? They'll sell it at $100 and laugh all the way to the bank.
That's fair. But people are busy/lazy/not interested. More downstream distros that require less customization or tweaking will always be there for those people.
As an example, why would I install Ubuntu and remove Snaps and go on a massive customization spree when Mint has already done half of the work for me? It makes it easier for me to just sit down and get started and that is what many users expect. Those that want to tinker or are more picky and want to have it just so can install whatever they want and customize as much as they want.
I also sometimes feel there are way too many unnecessary options, but they're obviously not for me. The more choices, the better chances to find exactly what you're looking for and that's not a bad thing in my opinion.
Probably got put on their radar by people complaining about the Chinese gacha game being too popular or something. Those same people complain much less about their manly sports/shooting games made in the good ol' United States of 'Murica. Even though they have similar predatory mechanics.
Died along with its parent project, DivestOS.
Edit: Of course the link is dead. First relevant link about the news.
