Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.

Obligatory xkcd.

Every comment you guys make just cements how disconnected from reality you really are. There’s also cheap games for the Switch.

Nope, you’re disconnected from the real world because you don’t understand the average user doesn’t care about specs they can’t see. You walking back your words now doesn’t mean you didn’t say them. Nobody is putting anything in your mouth.

blablabla specs-wise

See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you’re gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck’s hardware.

Nothing I’ve said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.

Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.

AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON’T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.

The base SteamDeck doesn’t have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it’s a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you’re the one spewing misinformation.

I’d love a handheld with a little slot where you just slide a 2242 M.2 without having to open the device.

That’s a rumor. All we know is that they talked with the dev behind closed doors and he deleted everything related to Ryujinx afterwards. Sure, they could have paid him but it’s just as likely that they just threatened him. Let’s not forget how Nintendo made its money.

A very strong case could be made that dumping your keys and your games is not bypassing encryption.

Not sure why this is getting down votes

Because Lemmings are completely disconnected from the real world.

Brother, that’s a whole new computer. Anyway, have fun and, if you haven’t already, you should install KDE Connect and Syncthing. I don’t know what you use your computer for but I have yet to meet someone who wouldn’t benefit from it.

Why care about the ideological stance of a company that holds a significant amount of your data?

Only 196? You gotta step it up.

NIPT is not nearly as widely used as you’re making it out to be. And names aren’t gendered. You sound like that reporter asking David Bowie if he’s wearing bisexual shoes.

After Valve fixed it.

They’re not disclosing the gender of their children. They also don’t take a blood test to find out the chromoses, they literally have a doctor look at the baby’s crotch with an ultrasound and throw a party based on what they see.

The problem is that if you do away with gender roles, then a gender reveal party turns into a baby vagina/penis reveal party. It’s a creepy concept that is only normalized because of society’s hyper fixation on gender roles and we should just get rid of it.

Sure. Harassing developers always works. I remember when everybody did it to CDPR about The Witcher 2 so they fixed all the issues and made a perfectly working Linux version of The Witcher 3. They definitely didn’t swear off Linux completely.

If you understand that it’s a social construct then you must understand that gender reveal parties are crepy af.

I know. It also exists for regular software but, as is tradition with GNOME, it uses its own stupid protocol instead of what everyone else uses so it doesn’t work for 80% of the software I use.
