I swear to christ these people are the dumbest motherfuckers, and nearly half the country is on their side.

The fact that so many idiots are falling in line with ignorant bullshit is just proof of how political advertising is insanely effective. The stance against vaccines is not a medical one - there is really zero debate there - it's a political one based on feelings, surely a great way to handle medical conditions if you're stupid, ignorant and incapable of even the most basic of critical thinking.

The real goal is to close underperforming stores with the intention of replacing the ones they close with stores in better locations.

Doesn't look like this is any kind of sign of real decline for them. They have 7,292 stores per the article. So they are closing less than 2%

I would just use my desktop for that use case. There's still a small minority of games that just don't work via proton but it's really a minority.

I've also seen a handful of games with linux builds that just don't run properly because they update the game but don't do enough QA to the linux build or simply don't put resources towards linux issues to the same degree that windows gets.

A handful of games need slight nudges one way or another but overwhelmingly it just works. Way better than it was just a few years ago.

Must be some real easy cheats for apex on linux.

I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i'm done with windows.

Honestly, i'm really not that far off as-is. Steam Deck already runs most of my library, it's just the games that don't work with a controller that are a problem.

I think discord is the worst platform. It has the illusion of being free, but it's made by a for-profit business that has for-profit motives. The ads have only intensified since I started using it and like any product following the MBA line of thought, they need to gain critical mass before tightening down the screws of monetization.

Apparently reasonable is 20 for 9 million, but unreasonable is 4.3m for 9.

The article makes no sense with its numbers, and all claimed costs are out of this world. It’s a soap dispenser. It should be no more than $500.

How come human drivers have more fatalities and injuries per mile driven?

Musk can die in a fire, but self driving car tech seems to be vastly safer than human drivers when you do apples to apples comparisons. It's like wearing a seatbelt, you certainly don't need to have one to go from point A to point B, but you're definitely safer with it - even if you are giving up a little control. Like a seatbelt, you can always take it off.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of stuff posted on twitter only. It's either there or hidden somewhere in the bowels of a discord channel that no one can search.

The internet is turning into the dark ages where getting information that isn't manipulated is basically impossible. Didn't feel so much like this 15 years ago.

Except USA is no-longer a country of law, it’s a corrupt oligarchy.

It's always been this way. The internet just does a better job of propagating information about it.

I kind of figured that's been the point from the beginning. If you can't win an election legitimately because the educated see through your bullshit, do illegal things that cannot be tracked or that is "legal" just despicable, like deregister non-republican voters and make sure your planted vote counters make sure they all seem to show up R or aren't counted because they are "fraudulent" - because the watchers are all your people there's nothing to be done to challenge it.

these are the same people who have been accusing every single democrat ever of fraudulent things by any means necessary. They've wanted to impeach biden for "fraud" but can't find any wrongdoing. They are also the people who attempted to create fake electoral votes to seize power after losing the popular vote.

It's pretty sad the legal system is bought and paid for by billionaires who have no interest in allowing the courts to actually follow the law unless it results in lower taxes and higher subsidies for them. If the judges actually did their jobs a lot more people would be in jail for election interference.
