Look around on your local classifieds. Anything you find there should be better than an Xbox. Put Bazzite on it and you got the console experience.

Honestly I’d be surprised if it’s not low end.

Honestly, the world has so many much bigger problems.

If gamers really want it gone they’ll do what I do and vote with their wallet. We’ve already seen some ramifications of that, with publishers sometimes removing it after just a few months or a year.

I may be a minority

That would be a problem.

Exactly. And we saw people doing that with the Steam Deck. Disney was using it to control their robots. Ukraine was using them to control IRL turrets. That’s just what we know of.

Probably 2 or 3 years before shortages are addressed.

“I think Valve was hoping for a much lower price and that the component issue would be short-term,” Cole said. “Obviously it is looking more like a long-term issue.”

I think we all knew this would be a long term issue.

Something happened over time, and I think it coincided with the rise of Donald Trump and the emergence of Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok as the social media platforms of choice. A lot of people just stopped bothering to defend their ideas against people who disagree with them. The arguments dried up.

It’s because we’ve realized these people are a completely lost cause.

The rise of these platforms increased the ability of politicians’ ability to disinform and manipulate people ten fold.

A computer is an appliance. In the strictest sense of the word.

I’ve heard the phrase “I saw an ad on Instagram for…” way too many fucking times.

Surprised Apple hasn’t patched this yet.

It’s being badly damaged by thousands of lazy AI-written merge requests to the extent that many have stopped accepting them entirely.

It’s also effectively DDOS’ing many open source sites (and the rest of the open internet), straining what limited funding they have.

So I would say a resounding yes.

I mean they ignore all the other laws, let’s add another to the list.

XMPP is federated

I mean only insofar as every other chat protocol “replaces” SMS. It only works if the other party is also using it. SMS and MMS will continue to be used with a completely different transmission mechanism.

Thanks. 10 minutes of video and not 1 second of actual gameplay footage. Don’t know why I even bother anymore.

AFAIK it is specifically meant as a replacement for SMS

Nope

and is used with regular pre-installed SMS Apps.

Only works with 3 proprietary apps, that I’m aware of. Google and Samsung Messages and iMessage.

Any non-YT link? Can’t watch shit on YT anymore
