How is that useful in this discussion? I need windows because I play CoD with my kids. I still like the concept of this specific windows tool.

It’s not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.

Fair enough. It’s still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I’m looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.

But I can see your point that it’s not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)

Just an idea, but maybe nothing actually happened? So nobody is sharing their videos, or they’re just not going viral because there is nothing to see… The truth is always more mundane than you want it to be…

What’s more likely? A shadow government wiping thousands of videos without thousands of people being up in arms about it. If Gmail goes down for 15m, the whole world goes crazy. We’re taking about the phones of an entire district being instantly cleaned, livestreams shut down, cloud backups (including people backing up to homeservers) being wiped and all. Maybe even dumb cameras and instax pictures being destroyed.

Or nothing but a random hoax of someone having fun?

If you still find the shadow government more likely, there is no discussion to be had tbh…

The government is so powerful that they’ve even managed to downvote your comment exposing their evil ways! Incredible.

At the same time, they’re too incompetent to keep sensitive war information out of the press, feed or teach their children and poor or even just agree on what to call a fucking bay. But scrubbing thousands of phones instantly, in these live streaming days, no biggie.

“Twitter should be the global town square”

“free speech absolutist”

“make humor great again”

“leftists are snowflakes”

Sure, he doesn’t force anyone to use Twitter. It’s still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It’s still an important tool for the world. Let’s hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether…

This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.

This doesn’t surprise me. If I hear stories of some of my teenager son’s classmates it sounds realistic. The other day one of his mates spent 20k in an arcade on claw machines in a single afternoon. He “won” like 4-5 massive plush dolls, and had to hide them at our place to avoid parental wrath. Can buy them for 2000jpy incl shipping on aliexpress.

Some of his friends spent their entire allowance and more on fortnite every month. Parental failure imo. Parents should teach their kids the value of things…

Cool concept. But the art style ain’t my thing unfortunately. I hope they clean up the art and animation a bit. The cover art has a cool style.

Except for musquitos. They’re fair game.

Yeah, nothing beats parsec tbh.

For how I use my pc, everything just works. To give you a counter argument. My logitech devices just work out of the box on windows. For Linux I had to get a little specific tool. Also try installing Japanese language input on Linux. Compare how much simpler it is on windows. Linux is NOT simpler than windows in all situations. Maybe your own research methods are flawed?

I game, manage my NAS (truenas running jellyfish for media etc) , sail the high seas, and browse on my pc. I also remote into a small spare mini pc running Ubuntu server with a minecraft server on it. (Could’ve ran the server on windows, but wanted to tinker with Linux to learn)

It all works flawless.

Also, give me a Linux alternative for parsec that just works as well for remote gaming, both from other desktop devices as from a mobile devices.

I use popOS. Windows is still simpler

I run Linux on a small mini pc for some casual browsing.

I run windows on my main pc.

As long as some kernel anticheat (fortnite, cod, etc…) doesn’t run on Linux, I won’t be swapping.

30+y of windows use also makes me infinitely more comfortable with windows. All the complaints I always read about are totally moot for me (I understand the issue of privacy in windows. It’s the price I pay to have an OS that “just works” for me) .

While I enjoy tinkering, Linux is a royal PITA to use if you’re not used to it. I spend hours trying to figure out how to fix something that takes me 5m max in windows. I understand it’s a more a me than a Linux problem. But I’m certain many people struggle with the same things.

A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.

For the steam deck, you’d have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.

From my 12y old kids perspective:

The switch 2 plays fortnite and Mario kart. The steamdeck doesn’t.

There is no difficult choice for him.

He doesn’t give a fuck about anything else. Neither do his friends.

Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.

The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.

Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.

If it’s a one time payment and it works well enough, chances are big I’ll get it.

If it’s a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won’t be for me.

Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(

Any references for that? First I hear of it.

Not that I don’t believe you, but I’d like to read up about it. I basically never reboot my phone, never had issues.

The father complained that his daughter got refused entry into Canada and was then detained in the US. If she would have had the correct paperwork for Canada, nothing would’ve happened.

But I agree, my rant is a bit out of place in here. Not the right place to relieve stress about dealing with entitled white people :)
