Yeah. Not sure what it is. It somehow feels more laggy, and for some games I struggle to read what’s on the screen sometimes. Plus there’s obviously other family members that want to use the TV most of the time. The steam deck really has been the only way I still do any gaming.

I still have mine too, but I never played too much with it because I just can’t do the ‘play on the couch’ thing or whatever. I was always a keyboard+mouse person. Playing on the steam deck does work for me somehow tho.

They’re still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.

That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?

Yep, if history is any guide, Democrats, if they ever get back in power, will want to look forward, not back. They’ve done that with Nixon, Reagan, the GFC, torture, Trump’s whole ass coup, …

It just means that the exact same characters will just try again.

Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

Still not sure if it’s deliberate, but Trump is taking the exact steps one would take to dismantle the American Empire.

And the open source movement is such a blind spot to the ‘left’ as well, even though technology freedom is critical if you want to be able to organise any type of resistance in the digital space.

Lemmy users largely get it, obviously, but centre left people will happily let themselves get locked into the Apple/Google walled gardens even though you’re just giving that company a ridiculous amount of power over you.

Fucking maddening how so many Latinos voted for Trump because “they got in the right way”, not realising that they’d end up getting randomly stopped and deported “because they fit the profile”.

It never pays to throw in your lot with white supremicists, they’ll always turn on you.

If you set up parental controls on your parent’s devices I can guarantee they won’t find a way around it.

And if the French hadn’t helped the US in the revolutionary war, they’d all be speaking English and be under a despotic monarch now.

Oh wait…

So I guess it’s just only us Millennials that know how to convert a PDF properly, and we’re just sandwiched in between boomers and gen Z finding the most ridiculous ways to try to accomplish that task.

He’s still pushing ‘intellectual property’ as part of his philanthropy. The creators of the Oxford vaccine wanted to open source it and give it away for free. Gates opposed that and he got his way (partly because of the influence of the Gates Foundation). The delays this caused probably killed millions of extra people in the Global South (not sure if anyone ever did the maths on this).

Union drives?
