I don’t understand why people want immutable. I don’t know all that much about Linux but on my Steamdeck it keeps getting in the way anytime I try to do anything

Allow apps to use any payment processor, not just Google’s 30 percent money-printing machine;

This is a big one. Google taxes 30% off all payments on apps from the play store and now they have to lower it to compete or lose customers.

I know people here are gonna say it’s not enough and while I agree, I still want to celebrate that a positive change has been made at all. Especially at a time where side loading is starting to be cracked down on.

YOU’RE SO RIGHT OH MY GOD

Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I’ve spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

Then there’s Steam…

* note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

I want a water bear as a pet so bad but the fact that they’re microscopic might be an issue

tbh animal crossing has a chance to make a good mobile game. Could totally see my mom playing it.

that’s actually so funny I’m not gonna fix it lol

Valve isn’t perfect though. Especially when it comes to owning games. I couldn’t use Asprite on my laptop on my schools wifi because it couldn’t verify that I own a 1gb program to draw pixels. Disabling wifi didn’t help either. Still made up it’s mind on not letting me make sprites for my school assignment till I connected it to my home wifi.
The best part? There’s literally a free version that’s not on steam that I purposely didn’t download because I wanted to support the dev!

I love that stock image lol

Had some people in a duel enrollment (collage level) class tell me last Friday that they’d vote for trump because “he’s an asshole but I like his policies”

I heard video tutorials are just a product of ‘big tube’.

my prediction is that the existing AI products won’t stop but the trend of adding AI into everything will stop. There’s a cool Wikipedia page about the repeated ups and downs of AI hype cycles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

I ASKED FOR THE SONG WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!?

my cats just dumb and can’t figure out that there’s more on the other 1/4 of the bowl under her chin. If I rotate the bowl she’ll start nomming but by herself she refuses to walk to the other side of the bowl. I’ve just accepted that it’s part of our routine that it’s one of those ‘eternal soups’ where you keep adding more and I’m sure it’s all gone but like what if there’s just a bit of kibble from 3 months ago at the bottom

This is my favorite phrase to point out how fucked up it is we don’t get to decide these changes for ourselves. Started with ‘Oversimplified’ on YT pointing out that the ‘land of the free’ willingly gave up their rights to consuming alcohol in the prohibition

How do you make a community?

oh yeah. Forgot about that one.

I hate you OP (in a loving but still spiteful way)
