The joke is for the in group and we’re not in it.

I guess we’ll see 🤷‍♂

Engineering decisions: how can make something that pollutes to the legal max both in particles, noise, and, come to think of it, any aspect possible? Oh, I know, a car!

You’re still not understanding: people buy stuff for convenience. Buying a console which you can play all the latest games on with a controller is convenient.

The target audience for Steam Machine (or whatever they’ll call it) is not you or some linux dude who like setting things up themselves, it’s people who just want things to work ™.

What you’re saying is “Why would I buy bread when I can make it at home? Nobody’s going to buy bread!”.

With a lot of money from the US.

Kick US media out of your country, use opensource software and you’ll be better off.

Any non-white team is not going to have a good time.

The power of the console is that it comes preinstalled with everything you need to game. Tell roidrage Steve or TikTok Sally to build their own gaming rig. It’s not happening. That’s why there are consoles.

The Steam Machine can be used for work, but that’s not its primary function, neither is that the Steam Deck’s function.

a wat?

Wat?

Who was dog?

Arabic heritage and in the US? I’d be concerned about getting a free trip to El Salvador. My butt would be clenched during any border crossing- which includes flying in or out of the country.

At this point, unless you’re ready to fight for your right to exist as a person in the Trumpian USA, moving out seems like a better option.

But this is said as somebody living in Europe. Maybe the US is actually great and you’ll be fine.

France? Don’t they hate Arabs? I’m assuming OP looks a bit Arabic due to their heritage. They would find a larger Arabic community, but if they have an Arabic sounding name, finding a job and housing, especially as a foreigner, might be difficult.

Debatable what “civilized” is, but I imagine most westerns consider themselves “civilized” and developing countries to be “uncivilized”. It has colonialist vibes and is not necessarily racist, but can be quite ignorant and prejudiced.

Christians invaded many countries and pretend to make them “civilized” but instead enslaved their people and treated them like animals. Pretty far from civil if you ask me. The US considers itself civilized yet it has a death penalty, just like Myanmar, Saudi Arabia and a bunch of other countries. Greece introduced a 6-day work-week which hasn’t been a thing in Europe since the industrial revolution, a time we would now consider quite uncivilized. Israel is currently committing genocide under the guise of self-protection and will not listen to reason, yet they probably consider themselves quite civilized.

It seems to me like “civilized” is a form elitism that can be quite close to racism, depending on who you talk to.

They like the warmth. It sends them to sleep.

I’ve seen it in Europe a few times. Sometimes children just want to be a menace and a leash is the only thing to keep them safe. Or so the parents say.

Soon it’ll be a steam console sitting the corner of every room

Barely, but it helps having yoof in the signal chat 😛

I find out about tiktok videos through lemmy or somebody in the family signal chat sharing them (if ever). Yesterday I found out about Baby Rexha (?) and Bad Bunny, which sounded like video games, but are music artists.

The football world championship is going to be in the US too. The goalies aren’t the only ones going to be shot at.
