I love valve as much as any other gamer but I’m with Dutchies on this one. Valve has monopolistic policies

Just buy a cybertruck and follow musk on twitter

Thanks for writing this post. I too am hoping to switch soon.

The movie “Mercy” huh

True, without 20% VAT German price would be ~1974 eur (=~2319 usd)

Pro 13 pre built with Intel Germany: 2369 eur USA: 1499 usd

You can literally go to New York, eat a rye and pastrami, get your framework 13 pro, fly back and still be somewhat ahead

“It has a mic, so it’ll definitely have eavesdropping malware” is quite a logical jump to make. Everything has a mic nowadays.

Pokopia, Bananza? It’s better than PS5 launch imo

Most likely an LLM generated app then

I’m willing to pay more to steam even if Microsoft releases something better for cheaper. Fuck Microsoft.

“President of Signal getting paid less than a principal engineer” must be the take here.

The same argument applies to Wikipedia: it’s a blessing these people accept working for <1M. They could easily get a job for triple the salary elsewhere but choose to forfeit it for principles.

Personal dinner: taxed

Business dinner: tax-deductible

I run a iRobot i3 and cutting its internet connection renders it useless. I’m eyeing a dreame l40 ultra for valetudo

Satisfactory?

I use the audio rooms feature with some friends quite a lot, where anyone can join and leave. Don’t know the official name. What’s an alternative for that? Will stoat work?

I usually look at it from cost per hour perspective. Tears of the Kingdom was 70 but I played it for ~140 hours, so 0.5 per hour. I’m ok with 1 per hour too but anything higher I start to ask myself “is the developer / publisher worth my support?”. Not all games can be judged by this metric though (eg outer wilds, unpacking)

So far, nothing beats the value of factorio. Mindustry (being so cheap) is a close second.

How come 1984 is before photocopiers?

I might actually use this as my primary phone (I agree with others who say marketing this as a 2nd phone was a mistake) if it gets e/os/ or grapheneos support

Not really, since Briar has a very specific usecase and doesn’t have cross platform support
