Bad take. The competition is literally constantly shooting themselves in the foot by offering a worse service and doing nothing to make gaming better.

It’s not steams fault that companies like EA, Epic MS etc. are rotten to the core with their business practices and no one wants to use their storefronts.

GOG is the only one i might consider an alternative that isnt completely rotten.

The problem is that its not just “tankies” but everything that slightly inconveniences an instance get blocked. I really dont want to use 3 different instances because one decides they don’t like anime, the other decides they dont like birds, then another one doesn’t like the color blue and bans anything that has blue.

I wish the federation was left to the users and only illegal stuff is banned. This maybe an unpopular opinion but i agree that all the federation blocking is killing what is already a tiny community.

You really think you can convince people who say dumb shit like that? You’re always fighting a losing battle with people like that. They only way they’ll learn is by experiencing it just like the dumbasses who voted for trump and are now on the front page of leopardsatemyface.

You’ll do yourself a big favor by not engaging in arguments like that. It’s better for your mental health.

Yeah I hope that happens. But I’m pretty low on hope these days…

99% of the people won’t care and continue using it anyway. The other 1℅ isn’t nearly enough to keep any non AOSP OS alive.

What if… Valve is the company GrapheneOS is trying to make a phone with.

Holy shit that would be amazing.

I agree with the article. Why cater games towards a crowd that doesnt want the game. Just stop it. Fuck EA and fuck companies like Activision/blizzard for dumbing down RPGs so Normie’s might like them. You’re ruining the experience for people who want to an RPG and making it “tolerable” for people who dont. The end result will always be a mixed bag, a mixed bag of shit.

Just let them play call of duty or FIFA and let the people who enjoy RPGs play RPGs with good story and RPG elements. You’re not doing anyone a favor by making an unenjoyable mediocre bag of shit.

I really hope you are right. I truly do.

Well this was 100% to be expected. Banning VPNs is next, then TOR and before you know it you have to scan your ID to even access the internet.

Say goodbye to the “free” internet. Say hello to Orwellian “state approved” internet.

The Deck is a regular computer and you can run any OS on it.

Not having firmware updates doesn’t mean software suddenly stops working on it.

Yeah, I’m addicted to this anime.

It does. But like the other guy says im not paying double the price because of tariffs/taxes.

Its because lots of people lack critical thinking skill nowadays. They just go on whatever social media fits their narrative and parrot everything they read.

Doesn’t matter to them if its “right or wrong”, it fits their narrative so they will stick with it regardless. Its about not accepting any truth except the one you created for yourself.

I have my opinions about certain political systems, but I feel it doesn’t really matter what kind of political system you use if the people at the top pulling the strings are corrupt and malicious.

That looks cool. Is there any way to get something like that in the EU?

“The average European household now spends close to €700 (£600) a year on three or more VOD subscriptions. People pay more and get less.”

Lol, not me.

I love Konosuba so much! And you’ll be laughing your ass off.

My Dress Up Darling. There is no other anime that fills me with joy so much as that series does. I loved the manga too.

So far from what I’ve read on the grapheneOS forums it won’t affect them that much. And sadly I don’t think there is any alternative. Fairphone isn’t that great, they lack hardware based security compared to pixels.

The Samsung bootloader is locked by default. They’re talking about it being unable to unlock it.

So basically its impossible to install any custom firmware on it meaning you are stuck with Samsung’s own crappy rom.

Theyre basically spyware phones. I removed all crap on my s23 and after Every update new shit just pops up.

Needless to say this is my last Samsung. I’m waiting for august 20th to drop so I can buy either the new pixel or a heavily discounted old one and throw GrapheneOS on it.
