In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.

In a perfect world, shit's created without someone having to create it to make money. A market without middlemen is still a market.

Hell yeah good news! Billionaire shapes public opinion! Endorse the hell out of that candidate! I love democracy, don't you agree my fellow democratic citiziens of this wonderful country?

I think this was their plan all along. Maybe it wasn't, in any case I was sure it wouldn't be long until we see SteamOS (or something like Bazzite, which is already here I don't know how functional it is) on these things. Why you would advertise Windows on a handheld PC I didn't get at all. The certain titles you are only able to play on Windows (bc poor support or anti-cheat etc etc) usually aren't games you would play on a mobile device anyway.

Stick of truth was developed by Obsidian

At first glance I thought this was an AI generated pic of some nonsense again. I think the internet fried my brain.

Yeah just get one of the life goal market, something is gonna make sense eventually right haha

I don't care about common interests. I'm much more interested in people having similar values and a coherent worldview compatible with mine. This applies to friends as well as to partners.

BPD people are not that bad if they are self-conscious and in therapy.

Hell yeah Sauerbraten all the way

Maaaaan can they fucking stop writing shit like this. Cyberpunk is and has always been about inequality and how tech potentiates it. I hate gaming journalism so much. 99% hot air.

Maybe I should be mad at the devs and writers, but they watch the world like it was a car crash and take it as inspiration. Homelessness crisis?!? Write that down WRITE THAT DOWN !!!

What custom keyboard do you use, and which layout?

I wrote about battery drain in response to another user who had issues on Graphene, even though this is a general Pixel issue, and has nothing to do with Graphene. The modem chews through the battery if you don't have good connectivity, although I'm not sure if that's still a big problem with the 7's and 8s. It definitely is with the 6.

Personally, I had problems with adapting to the "don't try to be a power user" philosophy of Graphene. I was used to flashing ROMs, rooting and customizing the hell out of my previous smartphones. Then I suddenly had a device which just... worked. It's still an odd feeling, but I got used to it.

Just wanted to add to the other users unique experiences. From the perspective of someone who was a "the only good phone is a phone which is one small mishap away from being bricked" kinda guy

Aaah yeeah instead looking forward to Fallout 8 and Elder Scrolls 36 I need that fresh Todd slop badly

Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they're filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can't. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.

But my fear isn't necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.

I'm on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).

Maybe the other guy here is right and it's a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn't really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.

why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?

Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It's just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.

Pls Rito don't ban the toxic players, keep them in League and Valorant you'e like the SCP foundation or some shit. Don't just release them inters back into the real world I BEG YOU RITO PLESAE

The battery life is interesting. Everything else, yawn

Wake me up when there's a new, more efficient APU and they stop marketing better displays, more memory and USB while not even having trackpads.

I did configure quite some Windows systems for friends and still have a Laptop with Win10 LTSC. It was a pain in the ass and I will parrot Windows bad until Windows ded

There are 2 components, the background and the slides. I didn't touch most of the slides, because I realized they would need more than a simple upscale. The ones I did upscale I used waifu2x for. For everything else I used waifu2x, GIMP and Paint.NET.

waifu2x was an okay upscaler back in 2018. Today I would use StableSR or SUPIR.
