Why does the YT title say 2025? Lol

America is far too distributed to amass people at a single point.

Goddamm I need to get this phrase hotkeyed on my keyboard with how often I need to say it to people online who don’t know how spread out the US is.

Our 5 largest cities have a nighttime pop of 1:20 of the total population. In Germany that figure is over 1:10 and in France and UK it’s more like 1:5.

The largest city in the US is NYC with a nighttime population of 2.5% of the total US population, that same figure for France is 3.1%, in Germany, almost 1:20 Germans live in Berlin alone and in the UK 135:1,000 live in just London.

The US has a very small urban population for its size. This isn’t to mention that the two largest cities are separated by a 2,000 mile desert and border two different oceans. The only way to congregate most Americans is through the Herculean task of mobilizing the suburbs, which has had some success (No Kings Day is the largest nonviolent protest in history), but is still much harder than rallying in more urbanocentric European countries.

Garbage article but actually nice story that I hadn’t heard yet. Gonna listen to some Beatles now

“Donate what you can.” There is literally no developer who would turn away $1/month.

Alternatively, try to come up with some formula of $/hr to help your prioritize things

Being “good” doesn’t mean you’re not a monopoly.

See: US Postal Service, most municipal utilities.

“Monopoly” is neither illegal nor immoral. It’s a de facto label given based on observation. A “good” company can still be a monopoly.

Steam distributes ~75% of all PC games. It took me less than 30 seconds to find that that was the same market share needed to indict USMC in 1954. This is what happens when you hahave an entire (multiple?) generations who have grown up with gutted anti-trust policies.

Lol stay asleep

Lol “since 2020”

It’s an unsourced alleged phone call from a British rag. I’m really not holding my breath on this one

Sincerely hoping every CEO behind vaping gets burned alive

Tbh I can’t be bothered to confirm who exactly is managing the Ally but XBox’s new CEO is on a goodwill-gathering streak right now. Brought down the price of game pass and seems to want to bring people back to the brand proper. MS certainly has the capital to subsidize console costs to gain market.

Again, all this is conjecture and came from me saying that right now, because Valve raised the price of the Steam Deck and MS hasn’t done so for the Ally, the Ally is a better value. Today.

That’s all fair but it just seems weird to me to say “company X jacked their prices up $300 and company Y might, therefore they’re both the same.” Wait until the Ally gets a price bump and reasses. As it stands today, the Deck is now a substantially worse value

You can very easily downgrade to Win10 and there’s a sizable community on r/LinuxOnAlly but it’s also Microsoft/XBox so what else do you expect? Still beats giving Valve 45% more money so GabeN can buy another yacht company and sell kids gamble boxes.

ROG Ally is measurably better in every category and cheaper

What marketing agency wrote this? Dumb fucking idea. No one in the world needs Steam Deck and no company has ever responded to more sales with lower prices. Boycott that shit

Love to see it. Savor it.
