Tuesday 9/10 Presidential Debate Megathread!
  • And then she came back and made a point to address what she wanted anyways (it was about taking peoples guns). She just did it without being a raging lunatic screaming loud enough to be heard in OTHER mics lol

    It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation
  • I’m stoked about Deadlock. I used to play Super Monday Night Combat constantly, until it shut down.

    I’ve been waiting like 10 years to get a decent game that fills that void, and Deadlock seems to finally be it! I personally couldn’t be happier with their choice hah.

    Donald Trump Does Not Get Post-Shooting Poll Boost
  • I feel like this is just the state of America now. When everyone was freaking out that this was the downfall of the election yadda yadda.. I was just thinking to myself “this is the country where kids get slaughtered in school and we’re sad for like 2 days… I give this a week at most”

    Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
  • I remember a long time ago when I was considering using Waze, had heard really good things. Then I was driving with a friend who used it and it served an ad saying “click here to take a pit stop at McDonald!”

    I never downloaded Waze so… good luck google.

    Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • I know that’s what all our Lemmy lawyers are saying. But I’m pretty confident SCOTUS would find a way for rules to apply to Biden that weirdly wouldn’t apply to Trump.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see him try. I’m just saying if I was in his spot, I wouldn’t immediately jump in assuming everything will just be “that easy”.

    You should at least sleep on it once or twice before you do something as drastic as everyone wants.

    Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • I’m not saying they were wrong, but effectively making the first king of the USA doesn’t seem like something one should risk the outcome of, no matter how strong your assumption is.

    Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • Except that we know for a fact the refs are incredibly biased against specifically one team.

    I wish he would use it, but I understand the hesitance to do so. Why would they do this BEFORE Trump is back in and even give Biden the option to use it? Why risk giving Biden a 4 year larger window to use it if he does win? Feels like a trap to me.

    'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic
  • I have a lot of trouble considering anything from polls/surveys being accurate, considering in my 30 years, I’ve never been asked for my input on one.

    Who are they asking? (No way it’s a curated group who’s likely to answer in a specific way to create drama in the media right?)

    'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic
  • This line of thought always amuses me. “It’s democrats faults for not stopping republicans from being horrible people”

    Oooooorrrrr maybe it’s republicans fault… for being horrible people?

    “It’s the fire departments fault my house burned down, not the guy who lit it on fire.”

    European Union regulators accuse Apple of breaching the bloc's tech rules
  • So I’m a die hard apple boi as well, but I’ve been getting into Linux a bit lately (to replace my windows machine that was solely for gaming)

    I think the main reason I still stick with Apple over Linux for most things is that Linux requires more tinkering.

    Every time I wanna play a new game I need to try out different versions of protons until it works. When I need a new software, I have to go google if I CAN have it, how to get it, or to find out what exact version I should use for my distribution, etc.

    Linux, as impressed with it as I am so far, is like having an old classic car I’m fixing up. It’s a hobby. I need to dedicate time to learning, maintaining, and optimizing my experience. So it’s great for my hobby of gaming!

    My Mac just works when I need it to work, no tinkering, no second thoughts. It’s the boring but reliable modern car I take on long trips. I just use computer, get work done, without roadblocks I have to google derailing me every 10 mins.

    I’m all for Linux, I’ve very much enjoyed it so far and will continue learning, but as a “normie” using Linux, the simplicity of Mac is often missed.

    Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts
  • You can also use Steam itself to run external launchers via proton! Might not be the best way, but it was super easy for a noob like me to figure out.

    Let’s me play ffxiv (non steam) and bnet games quite easily!

    America's largest LGBTQ rights group plans $15 million swing state blitz to re-elect Biden
  • Dems did not supply the matches lol. Republicans showed up with a flame thrower.

    But whatever. There will be no winning you over, even with facts provided. Later boo

  • So the people doing nothing are causing more harm than the people actively hunting and persecuting me?

    I’d disagree. That’s like saying my neighbors who didn’t put out the fire in my house are just as bad as my other neighbor who started the fire in the first place.

    We have two choices.

    Democrats haven’t done a damn thing…

    Windows 10 EOL PSA
  • Not sure what you have, what your trying to do, and am pretty new to Linux myself, but I’m running KDE neon with a 3070, and after a little work to get drivers updated I’ve had minimal issues!

    I’m not doing anything too crazy though, mostly web browsing and gaming is all.

    Microsoft is one of the greatest promoters of the Linux desktop
  • Not the best job, but I guarantee it’s having an effect.

    I say this as someone who finally gave Linux another chance about a month ago (due to annoyances with Microsoft) and it’s going really well!

    Even a noob like me can just install KDE and learn a few “launch through steam” tricks and I’ve had very minimal issues!

    I think a lot of the casuals like me still think Linux is all terminals and command lines, but it’s clear it doesn’t have to be now. And Microsoft’s campaign is what pushed me to come look again!

  • I love that you think OTHERS need to go back to Reddit. With comment's like this you'd fit right back in bb!

    Also everyone say ty everyday for your ability to block people! It's incredibly useful!
