Everyone feels as though the Democrats have stopped listening to them and have been yelling at them for the last 10 years.

Feel all they want, its not true not is what was being discussed actually even happening, but go off

And just the mere fact that you are probably going to have the knee jerk reaction and call me an ignorant bigot is part of the problem.

Pre-defending yourself just shows you know you’re full of it

IIRC a quarter of the Republican ad spending was on that single ad, “The Democrats are for ‘they/them’, Trump is for YOU”. It was that effective.

Ok, tell me how that’s the Dems calling anyone who isn’t straightforward with their pronouns a bigot. Oh, wait, it’s an argument being made by the party of lies? Then why blame the Democrats?

I don’t care much who is right morally

Cool, I’ll mentally keep you with the other people who think that: Trump supporter. Considering your other points I don’t believe you aren’t one, whether you live here or not, you sure as fuck act like one

Idiots thinking that because influencers tell them to feel that way =/= it happening, because it’s not

People are choosing to use those terms and spots for them are being added to things, this isn’t the same as “use them or you’re a bigot” at all and you know it

If you tell Americans outside cosmopolitan cities they must declare themselves publicly as “cis het” or else they’re a bigot

Nothing even close to that is happening and you’d have to be willfully ignorant to pretend otherwise

German’s an easy language, right?

Actually it really is if you speak decent English, about half of our language is basically the same

There’s a cool YouTube video out there with phrases in English, German, and Dutch to show that you can communicate shockingly well between the 3 languages if you’re careful, they’re that similar

It is impenetrable jargon

Lol, what are you, illiterate?

Cisgender and heterosexual are really simple to understand, basically every American learns the second term in science class for fucks sake

And with TRANSgender rights in the media for 10 years now only an idiot wouldn’t be able to at least make a good guess on what CISgender might mean

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I’ve had 0 issues with any games or programs that don’t just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn’t entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Its hard because stop using adobe as graphic designe

Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects all worked when I tried them on Linux Mint 22 to see if they worked

Older versions from before the CC updates for those programs that you can use them for also work and work quite well, though I do understand that there are literally missing features for professional work in some of those older versions

A real Linux alternative (or proper fucking Support but fuck adobe) would be GREAT, but the change likely won’t be as bad as you might be worrying

So far the hardest thing I’ve had to install was called YAD, and that was so I could install Morrowind mods specifically, a rather niche need all things considered, and I’ve made multiple audiovisual projects on my Linux workstation without having to do anything like that

I do keep a Win10 LTSC on a side boot drive for games with anticheat and any programs I might need there but so far that’s literally only been handbrake, which I’m sure there’s a Linux version/alternative for but I just haven’t had to use it on that OS yet due to work flow

Or machine virtualization, VirtualBox and similar programs are piss easy to learn to use and most machines today should have 0 issue emulating older windows and an old game in a VM

Any issues you might have are going to be hardware related, like really old games not playing nice on no original hardware, but if you’ve got one of those then just install the last version of the OS and isolate that original hardware machine from any networking and it’s completely safe to use as a game console

For games that could run on Win7 and 8? Not really

It’s surreal reading comments pining for win7

Oh no they’ve been in a coma since 2012!

I jest, but seriously I was in HS personally while whinging about 8 and wanting 7 back after my laptop auto updated on me like a jackass. Its actually the event that lead to me learning IT!

Sure you don’t, that’s why you just had to reply to me

Must really want me to see that little inbox notification, huh?

since you’ve aggressively denied me an ounce of understanding

You making shit points =/= me not understanding you

Keep equating basic criticism of the Democrats to claiming repubs are identical to them, enjoy never learning and not winning next time either!

And I’m annoyed that we continue to see “both parties” without strong fucking qualifiers.

That’s not what happened here, though?

You have no idea what I meant and you obviously care more about making something up than knowing

I do know what you meant, because English words have meaning

I meant that we saw democrats reach a new level of ineptitude with this election cycle.

No, we didn’t, we just saw them fail harder while doing all the same shit they always have, as I said

You’re smug and not interested in actually conversing with me or understanding what democrats do/don’t do correctly.

Keep strawmanning me and ignoring everything I say, I’m sure eventually you’ll make a valid point with that technique!

I’m just tired of the false equivalency that landed us in fascism

Valid criticism of the Dems isn’t false equivalency, it’s so fucking annoying to hear people keep acting like it is

enjoy feeling smug about how you knew this is exactly how Democrats would run this campaign 10+ years ago.

Didn’t claim anything close to that, merely pointed out that acting like this election suddenly revealed something new only proves youre unaware of previous ones

Democrats are freshly revealed to be hot garbage

Lol, if by “freshly” you mean “for at least almost a decade if not further back”

I find it disgusting to make any remark that alludes to them being the same

It sucks, but they literally both do what the guy is accusing them of, so they’re actually the same here. Doesn’t mean they’re perfectly identical in all other ways, but this is and has been a major red flag for yeeeeeaaarssss BECAUSE it’s a spot where they’re the same

it was never supposed to be a ground braking game just a way to monotize their testing while giving the hungry fans something to play with while they wait.

Can’t re-write history just to cope, buddy

would you reather a buggy unplayable mess now or a fully flashed out game a year or two later

Right now we don’t get either so that’s a weird 2 options to pick

As much as I love my personal instance overlord for most of their beliefs and being a generally good person, they are incredibly naive, I assume purposefully so to avoid ever accidentally upsetting someone

Its an admirable trait to a degree even if it is incredibly frustrating

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone

By saying something objectively silly, which was my point

Chill

Can’t get any more chill than right now BBY

if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates

Pretty silly thing to expect given they’re entirely different devices

It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC

Just wrong: it plays the same games and literally is a replacement for a PC if you want to go that route. Its not a top-of-the line monster powerhouse, but that’s never what it claimed to be

And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

Lol Sonys User experience on PS5 is painful compared to using the Steam Deck for 95% of what you do, the other 5% breaks them even at best, if not leaving Sony in the dust of their pathetic design and walled-gardening

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

No shit? Doesn’t change the fact that you’re objectively wrong about the steam deck though

it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution

I love people making blanket statements about the SD when it’s a fucking PC: what settings are you talking here, because my SD handles games that came out this year no problem on medium settings native, some settings to low when I put it on my big living room TV

Its not going to replace a console perfectly but it absolutely can play almost anything that isn’t an exclusive or designed to just not work on Linux (which you can get around too anyway)
