I agree.

Well, “liberal idealism” should include being able to openly say Israel is commiting genocide, it’s amazing how this is not widely seen as backlash to decades of thought policing.

It’s reddit with blackjack and tankies, to paraphrase Bender

I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.

I’m more like I’m not buying GTA6 for more than 15€ after less than a year of patching, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.

Here’s a thread to discuss at great length the thing I’m sick of seeing discussed.

Well duh.

I sometimes correct zoomers if something is actually high key.

Absolutely what I’m doing

Devs are also contending with the issue because they pivot from any originality to make safe games in a popular genre du jour and then cynically overmonetize it. Chuds are a loud minority, but other gamers also haven’t bought Marathon, it’s not just online negativity that’s the problem because that has never impacted sales to any significant degree. It’s just that games are well enshittified and have become a bad value proposition and also everyone has libraries full of better games from times they were a better value proposition and also indie publishers have sprung that are doing a great job and prioritizing fun / quality.

Shit, I like gaming, especially since Linux became the default platform, but with a library of 1.5k+ titles in my family group, I’d have to be stupid to buy fucking GTAVI day one from the CEO that hates both games and me personally.

I don’t choose Omarchy, I don’t need hyprland and don’t like how they embrace vibe coding, but it saddens me that people are so angry. I haven’t read any of his screeds or tweets and don’t give a fuck about any of it, but how is not discounting software on account of project lead’s racism same as… being in the same room with mass children murderers? And their sympathizers? These metaphors are not working.

You can disagree over dietary preferences not over “is hitler in my supply chain a problem?”.

I can disagree about whether DHH actually is Hitler. Also, I don’t have a supply chain, I use a Linux OS. I actually have no problems with said OS being made by nazis and/or racists, so long as the software is good. I wouldn’t click a EULA that demands I condone nazis or racism, but that’s a separate story; cancel culture has done nothing good but further divided people. That said, there are legit reasons not to use Omarchy, such as their idea of slopmachines vibefixing bugs directly from user reports.

Yes, I use CachyOS at work. I use Libreoffice calc or Python instead of Excel, though I have access to some web version.

What the fuck does that have to do with the Linux distro? Many everyday products you use are made by people you don’t agree with. It’s called society.

Oh no, I guess it’s le shill lion from now on

I disagree, I met people from reddit at meets IRL and we played darts and drank beer.

Their moat is people not being arsed to make an account on a service that’s not actively hostile to its users.

The idea that anything other than my needs should factor into the generation of text for me is patently offensive.

Primary reason I’m not using any hosted LLMs is I can’t stand and don’t want to start relying on tools that can be stealthily enshittified or made an advertising tool.

Exactly. The latrine is closed, I got to meal prep now

Fucking finally, it’s a zombie for years
