True that and I like the occasional car game as well. Definitely cheaper. Personally, I just find it crazy how much game prices have increased over the last couple years.

And the gaming market has grown quite a bit, so that’s why they can do it I guess? Idk. And are people escaping more in general these days or are people simply escaping differently, so watching less TV etc? Would be interesting to learn about actually but maybe that’s a different discussion

Ah, Windows VM on Linux. I thought the other way around. I mean if you don’t have much of another choice I guess that’s all you got but most things work on Linux now, so why do it indeed. GPU pass through works with many VM programs tho afaik

Bazzite (based on Fedora I believe) is basically plug-n-play with controllers including rumble too and it’s immutable. Great for morphing a PC into a stable gaming console

First ever useful documentation Microsoft has published

totally makes sense…

Linux is way less bloatware than Windows. Hard not to really

For years, I’ve rather read Stackoverflow comments than Microsoft’s nearly unusable documentation. It’s as if they don’t know how to write coherently

Yeah but why? I am worried about people if they’re willing to spend $120 on a video game

120$ and beating all predecessors? Why the hell has gaming become this important to people’s lives?

Relative pay from lowest worker to CEO has skyrocketed over decades. It’s utopian how unequal things have become. No wonder people are struggling

Yes and no. What you say sounds like an oversimplified parole though. I’d argue how far you branch out depends on the political system your country has and the people at the top. Most of the time its good to take a stance rather than staying quiet, so you’re not an ignorant bystander. Talk to people about stuff, friends, family, posts, sign petitions. You don’t need to be far left or far right for that. Though going on the streets demonstrating can block assholes from passing laws that only benefit them and give it more urgency

When a woman says something they get judged much harsher. Plenty of research about this. People just want to judge women. The day has structure when there’s a scapegoat. Her point is still valid. Do your research before talking people. Please. I beg of you.

Separate issue I think but yeah, we are

Luigi was onto something

Yes, we need to vouch with our own attention and money. Many people stay on those platforms because their friends are there but maybe tell your friends where they can find you from now on. If we just suggest that there’s another platform, they’ll never leave. Most people got enough stuff going on in their lives and rather choose what’s comfortable

LinkedIn does suggest the same job like 20 times though, so there’s quite some bias too

Folks, please don’t polarize because some rando on social media tells you to. We live in an increasingly polarizing world. I’m with you on taxing the rich and holding them accountable and distributing incomes more fairly again but PLEASE know you can be centrist AND make the change you want to see. Following identity politics in the far right or far left part of the spectrum isn’t the answer but mobilizing peope from the entire spectrum to stand up and build a resistance TOGETHER is. Don’t cut out that many people from your movements because then you’re only fewer. You lack persuasion in numbers, and for these things we need masses. Maybe I may remember you of the “let them eat cake” lady. Different times of course but you get my point

For music production you sadly only got Ardour and Reaper and I consider neither of them good enough to work professionally and fast workflow in writing sessions, else I’d be over to Linux already
