The elongated muskrat is learning first hand how the Nazi Bar Problem works

Fanboy wars are exhausting, stupid, and unproductive.

You will be a happier person when you stop giving a shit about what phone or operating system someone else uses.

Sounds an awful lot like that thing boomers used to do on Facebook where they would post a message on their wall rescinding Facebook's rights to the content they post there. I'm sure it's equally effective.

libertarianism is already just feudalism with extra steps.

PeerTube will not replace youtube. it cannot compete in either scale or creator compensation.

i don’t think people realize just how insane your infrastructure has to be to handle 30,000 hours of video being uploaded every hour.

Is it just me or is it really fuckin' easy to not connect your TV to the internet?

I've hated "Smart TVs" for a decade now, but I solved my problem by just buying a set top streaming box (Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, etc) and leaving my TV off my WiFi.

People did stop buying them. Their consumer GPU shipments are the lowest they've been in over a decade.

But consumer habits aren't the reason for the high prices. It's the exploding AI market. Nvidia makes even higher margins on chips they allocate to parts for machine learning in data centers. As it is, they can't make enough chips to fill the demand for AI.

The very first reason seems valid to me. No way anyone should be supporting a hateful asshole like that. Anybody going around saying homosexuality is any less valid than heterosexuality has no place in our society anymore.

I honestly just don’t get the point of these screens.

It lets the game see which controller or input method you are using. This screen was (and maybe still is? I'm not sure.) a requirement for certification on consoles going back to the Xbox 360, when wireless controllers became ubiquitous.

Having to press a single button at the start of a game is a pretty minor complaint.

The Saudi Arabians have hated Twitter for over a decade now thanks to the role it played in the Arab Spring movement. I wouldn't be surprised if they helped Elon buy it just to kill it.

you need a Microsoft signed stub to boot anything other than Windows on a PC

Not necessarily, most motherboards and laptops (at least every single one I've ever owned) allow users to enroll their own Secure Boot keys and maintain an entirely non-Microsoft chain of trust. You can also disable secure boot entirely.

Major distros like Ubuntu and Fedora started shipping with Microsoft-signed boot shims as a matter of convenience, not necessity.

Secure Boot itself is not some nefarious mechanism, it is a component of the open UEFI standard. Where Microsoft comes in to play is the fact that most PC vendors are going to pre-enroll Microsoft keys because they are all shipping computers with Windows, and Microsoft wants Secure Boot enabled by default on machines shipping with with their operating system.
