He may not be from my side of the Venn diagram but we still have the same grievances shared in the center of the graph.

Well, he didn’t say persuasion, at least…

Markor - markdown notes that just works

Organic Maps - someone found a way to make open source maps not terrible, and it isn’t.

K9…derbird - mine still says K-9 even though it updated, good mail client.

OSS Weather - tells you the weather, and literally nothing else. Perfection.

Woah. I had no idea both of our countries were pieces of shit. I thought it was just China!

/s

I hope all of these social parasites get Luigi’d, and anyone who doesn’t is enjoying Stockholm syndrome.

Apologize?

Did they sell out too quickly? That’s sick. I want one.

Not particularly, no, I’m just the type to not step on the rotting plank on the bridge. I’d rather step over it.

I’ve had zero issues with Gigabyte and ASRock. I have an Asrock board in now and I used a Gigabyte in my last system. Stable and fine.

EVGA, I dunno. I don’t buy Nvidia or need the pedigree, I’m a Linux user who sticks to Ryzen CPUs and AMD, but I hear they’re top shelf quality from others.

No idea, I just went with it.

…this, so called “Israel”.

To put it bluntly, if they make something I want to buy, I’ll participate, but this live service shit isn’t anything I want to buy, so.

They’ll learn eventually, I don’t care what they make. It’s all mostly cookie cutter garbage. Support devs going against the grain like GSC and indie devs. Let AAA die. What’s it alive for, constant disappointment?

Or we could all be informed consumers and… research products before we buy them to avoid these kinds of issues.

I’d never buy an Asus product. I hear they’re a nightmare when it comes to customer service, so in avoiding them, I avoid that problem.

I’ll tell you what it is. Freedom.

We can make servers, host servers, have our own communities and set our own rules. Hell, I haven’t played a Valve server in five years.

Overwatch isn’t a matter of better or worse. It fails to do, at base value, what I value TF2 for, freedom.

Add however many neat little gameplay mechanics you want, if I can’t play the game the way I want to, I’m not going to get into it or care.

shrug

You’re right, but wrong about the robot. I’d rather kill myself than subject myself to Gen Alpha “care” if that’s the form it takes.

I’d kick it over every now and again for fun to make a human get paid to pick it up.

Same reason we have Barnes and Nobles in the states. I like to browse before I hit zlibrary.

and?

And Juggalos, rather than going “lame”, nearly unanimously said “fuckin cool!”.

It’s one of the riskiest, boldest and honestly brilliant marketing moves in music, ever. If it was all genuine? Props.

If it’s all for publicity?.. Same. Props. Still worked lol.

I cancelled it the second I found out how easy it was to get it for free.

I still buy FLAC releases individually from artists I like, I just use Shittify for discovery. Fuck 'em.

My dumbass is always over here going

…but if their phone is on the table, what took the photo?

That’s kinda on the list of things that aren’t my problem.

I hate to be that blunt, but seriously. It’s 2024. If you want fairness, you’re making it yourself. We’re in the cyberpunk dystopia. Learn Linux or, send Microsoft a few disapproving letters and hope.

If Windows is a part of your job, at least write off any expense on your taxes so you don’t pay for the pain.

Is it right? No. Everyone should have fair and equal software that is as useful as my tinkering makes mine, but life ain’t fair.

Maybe he installs showers for a living.
