It absolutely will be. It's what's happening to twitter right now. Loads and loads of bots/ai posting "content."

To be fair, you probably don't want a native version anyways. Most native games i've played just required me to switch to proton because they had their own share of issues that the proton versions didn't have.

At this point it's better for devs to make proton support a goal(i.e steam deck compatibility) rather than native linux builds. Linux just has too much diversity for native linux support to not be a massive pain in the ass in my opinion.

Hopefully not soon, but probably once Gabe is gone if i had to guess.

If steam goes public, might as well start packing the bug out bag because shit is going to go south real quick.

Definitely recommend brother. No fuss, just works.

Even the proprietary drivers blow chunks. Sure, gaming performance is fine, but desktop feel is just so awful compared to AMD wayland it isn't even funny.

It just feels wrong, and I can’t quite explain why.

It's essentially throwing a slab of meat into an arena and watching the starved poors fight to the death over it, then watching while you're served the equivalent of thanksgiving dinner by your butler/maids in a safe climate controlled room.

There comes a point where "philanthropy" simply becomes rich people making games for the poors to win a "prize" and seeing how they react for their own entertainment rather than any sort of benevolence. The lambo example seems pretty much spot on for that.

And this is why you don't want cloud based password storage systems. If you want to use a password manager, use something entirely local like KeePassXC. The database it creates is so small you could fit it on a floppy so it's immensely portable.

In broad strokes, yeah. I'd even consider older, more traditional forms like forums and IRC/BBS to be proto forms of social media. As long as the internet exists there will be social media, what form it takes is malleable depending on the desires of the userbase at hand.

I think it's just because most players tend to be good at micro, but not so much macro.

Having a set "build" takes the macro thought of your item choice out of the equation so they can focus on their micro. The thing is though, you can easily make up for subpar micro with good macro. Picking the best items for a given situation, even if they aren't necessarily "meta" is incredibly important and something most players just don't feel like mastering.

I've been using ironwolf/exos drives for years without any issues. The 3TB fiasco runs deep and people need to just let it go.

Kagi has an unlimited plan, it's just a bit more expensive. I can also vouch for them in that their search quality is quite a bit better, and being able to blacklist/prioritize sites is pretty great.

They make far more money on margins for their tightly controlled parts doing the repairs themselves in house than letting independant repair shops do it for them. There's a very clear reason why companies like apple/john deere are so anti right to repair. They make shitloads off of being the place to go to "repair" your device at an insane markup(to discourage repair in the first place.) And if you don't like it, you can just buy a new one of their products. So they win either way.

Letting independant repair shops replace a chip for a couple bucks in parts andmaybe $50-$100 in labor absolutely eats into their margins and they see none of that money. It's a big reason why they control their supply chain so tightly and do stupid things like serializing parts and programming/pairing parts together. So other shops can't do the repairs they themselves can do.
