It definitely affected me. In retrospect I’m glad I bought a different EV.

Yeah, I don’t think weird is a strong enough word to describe them. This shit is beyond weird 🤨

To be fair, nerds will tell their tech-illiterate friends about this change and probably influence them enough to consider it. Especially when it’s something as easy as downloading an application.

It’s much easier to switch a browser then it is to stop using Google, Facebook, etc.

This hits hard. I still remember joining the same 3 cs servers and befriending the people there. Good times.

We did and it was very hard to follow your train of though.

I’m sure the void would have been filled with anither company.

This should be the American catch phrase 😅

One good debate performance out of an old man that just got covid which was probably severe enough that he had to drop out? I very much doubt that would have happened.

Smart. Make the world worse and then live in a worse world.

In university I had a prof that used an overhead projector and a marker to slowly follow the lines drawn on the sheets.

I’d have given anything for a few PowerPoint slides.

Same. After maybe two episodes of that guy I had enough. The constant “we’re save” to “Oh no some random bad guy that is worse than the last” to “yay were safe” to “Oh no,…” finally got to me.

As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.

I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U…

What if we’re part of an early machine learning cycle? Things will get worse and worse until our simulation fails so future generations can become better.

Same, friends. I don’t care what operating system people use, as long as Valve keeps supporting Proton and making it possible for me to game and therefore stick with Linux.

Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

This argument always bothers me.

Do you really expect people that are involved with child pornography to go “Oh well, now that it’s forbidden to have private messaging I guess I will just stop looking at children, because the law is the law and I have to follow it.”?

These people know they are breaking the law and I can promise you this. They will find a way to privately exchange their shit while the rest of us now have even less privacy…

Yeah it’s really weird. I have done what OP has done for a while now on an Nvidia GPU and Pop!_OS with KDE and have had 0 issues. I don’t use a 2x2 grid though. Can that really be the issue?
