Uhhhh well maybe you’re privvy to some insider information you’d like to share? Because they’ve announced no such intention.

Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.

That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.

I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.

When you get around to a new laptop, look out for one that is Linux compatible. Unfortunately many hardware OEMs don’t take the time to provide drivers for Linux, and that causes problems.

We’ll see when it comes closer to that time. Historically I have voted for whoever I liked or just not voted at all. Maybe 50/50.

Not surprised. Several years on and I still can’t get Fallen Order working properly.

Isreal showing us what an actual genocide of a captive Muslim population looks like

…are you under the impression that this is the first genocide in the history of the human race?

Just like that, hey? Good thing you invested as much time into that as you did coming to troll the readers of this thread.

You really should start looking into the sources for more articles you read about China

I do. I think it’s about time you gave it a try.

one single guy who has stated it is his mission from God to bring down China.

LOL what? Which guy is that?

propaganda is incredibly effective

That much becomes more clear to me every day. I didn’t realize there were CCP trolls in Lemmy already.

Really not looking for whataboutisms to justify their atrocities…

I won’t vote for Biden for a myriad of reasons but I’m sure as shit not voting for Trump either.

The entirety of our federal election is built on a false dichotomy and I won’t contribute to it.

I think you’re misreading the comment you replied to. It’s obviously sarcastic.

I’d rather buy it than spend hours and hours downloading and failing to unpack it for unknown reasons.

But I’m not going to spend more than like 10 minutes trying to make it work. If it takes longer than that, it’s just a shit game that doesn’t deserve my money. Too many other perfectly good games to spend my time playing to fuck around with all of that.

This is really just common knowledge at this point.

E: looks like the CCP has even infiltrated the mods of this community.

Removed by mod

The reason is called the Digital Markets Act.

Facebook is not federating.

I still can’t make sense of Mastodon threads.

The problem I see with almost every Fedi product is that they just try to clone whatever is popular instead of considering what makes sense.

Character limits make absolutely no sense.

Tagging 12 different fuckin people automatically 34 replies down the thread makes no sense.

The layout and the way it’s displayed makes no sense.

It makes no sense for PixelFed to federate with other micro-blogging services or to include the teeny tiny fucking buttons.

Lemmy has very easy to follow and legible threads but Twitter/Mastodon ones just confuse the absolute fuck out of me.

didn’t we create and use fediverse software like Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed etc in large part to escape the constant hate-baiting and algorithmic manipulation of companies like Meta?

“We” created the Fedi to have interoperable systems and to give users autonomy over their accounts and their feeds. That’s why there’s an option for users to block other users and even entire servers.

Why are so many in the fediverse prepared to throw their fellow fediverse users under the bus

No one is doing that.

If Threads was a fediverse instance, it would’ve been defederated from by just about everyone by now.

True.

Why are some people bending over backwards to give Meta a free pass?

No one wants to give Meta a “free pass”. We want a way for Meta users to see that they can leave the platform, escape the ads and data-mining without losing access to their friends, family, news, etc. It’s specifically because Meta is so terrible that we want to federate.

You see it as the Fediverse promoting Meta but we see the opposite.

‘Wait and see’ I hear people say

I’ve literally never seen anyone say this except FediPacters as a strawman. No one needs to “wait and see”. We know exactly what we’re getting.
