I feel like I'm going to get flak for taking a position that's not completely anti-Windows, but please try to hear me out before casting judgment. I use both OS and think they both have merit. Linux- for the reasons listed in the meme, and windows- for those without the technical know-how, patience, or time for the better alternative.

That being said, if anyone thinks like how this Ed, Edd, N' Eddy looking mofo in the meme does I'll be the first to say that's a horribly bad take lol

Of course it is. There's 0 reason to come after anyone for choosing Linux as any, if at all, of the extra effort incurred is only going to affect them personally.

Edit: Not even a single flak in the comments, the happiest I've ever been to stand corrected. We've done it, world peace achieved.

Nah, this ban accomplishes absolutely nothing except producing more expensive alternatives that do the exact same thing.

I'm glad you survived your battle, but this ban would only serve to disproportionately affect the poor.

They've already banned menthol in California and it did nothing. Alternatives are already being marketed and sold and some of the better ones recreate the exact same effect but cost $1.20 more per pack at the low end. To put it simply, this is dumb as fuck.

How about Prowlarr too? The site looks great

It looks like they do tracker requests through their discord: https://discord.com/channels/264387956343570434/1066174962622287874

streamers are currently being forced to reckon with their profitability — or lack thereof.

Netflix's 2023 2nd quarter revenue: 8.1 billion dollars BTW

No I'm entirely sure the irony of a prominent capitalist forcing himself into an anti-capitalist narrative was completely lost on his vanity lol

He just heard about there being implants and went full pointing Leo meme

Of all the reasons to be a scumbag, attempting to force your way into a video game has to be one of the shallowest I've ever heard. Especially when he's so obscenely rich that it would've been painless comparatively to buy his way in...

I'm starting to get this feeling too. Most of the Americans I know, myself included, rip America a new one at any given opportunity.

It's not just "some guy", it's a translation layer developer posting all of his findings on his git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/commit/88e4f300cc0b5b6f0880c1233d562cf506b546fb

It's also verified by Proton users noting a marked increase in performance with just a code commit. I'd urge anyone not to listen to this troll and go have a look.

I'm eagerly awaiting the radio silence from all the people blaming it on obsolete hardware lol

Overall I like the game though, it has a lot of very entertaining ideas.

He's both wrong and an asshole. "Shifting expectations" to something more sustainable would have to mean that there was a sustainable option to begin with.

Breaking story: Yet another rich asshole that has everything is telling you that you should be happy with having next to nothing.
