  • Absolute bullshit! That is not at all true, at least not until they bother to optimize their OS and software.

  • They don't though: Certain religions can get lots of preferential treatment at times.

  • Oh no, not the AI boom!

  • Probably not, but I do have a Steam Deck and might buy a Steam Frame.

    The cost is definitely a factor, but also, I've been building computers since the 90s and even my laptop can run everything I play already: I don't have much need for another computer right now, even if Valve made it. If I did really need a computer, I'd probably just build a better one for cheaper and slap Bazzite or Cachy on it.

    If the price goes down, I might reconsider: I do like supporting companies that do right by their customers and Valve is one of the very few that still seem to make that effort.

  • Always open in new tab is a browser setting, but on most OSes you can also middle click your mouse button or ctrl + click and it should open it as a new tab regardless of settings.

  • Damn it, who anthropomorphized satire and let it run a company!?

  • "Freedom of religion, but not your religion."

  • Really? I learned that people tend to walk toward whichever their dominant side is.

  • The benefit is they can track you and all your stuff! Nobody said it would benefit you.

  • Don't be an idiot: Avoid Brave.

  • The hell it does! Closed source/proprietary software and OSes are, more often than not, a fucking dumpster fire. Especially Windows, holy shit!

    What open source software or OSes have you even used??? It sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

  • No. Windows 11 and Brave are both fucking awful. You should stop using both.

    Also, calling proprietary software "normal" is ridiculous and belies a profound technological ignorance.

  • No thank you.

  • "Cool, free stem valves!"

    yoink

  • You might want to look into what spying it is doing and how you can mitigate or disable it. It may be as easy as pulling a fuse. For now, my only EVs are e-bikes with basic enough components that they're not capable of spying.

  • Negligent Gun Owner Simulator would probably sell pretty well actually...

  • PieFed and Mbin are also perfectly good.

  • I would consider buying a new EV as long as it was affordable, safe, good quality, and didn't spy on me. Otherwise, I'm sticking with old manuals and bikes.

    Also, anyone who wants to charge me a subscription to use anything on the vehicle I own can eat all of my shit and hair.
