So gatcha games are just video games returning to their roots?

Where’s “video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them”?

Where’s “removal of a common phone feature, because if you don’t buy a $528 external DAC and a $9164 planar headphones, you’ll be okay with a pair of raycons”?

You’re living in a Metal Gear game, but there’s no Snake, and there’s no Raiden!

It’s happening!

(I might make a meme video featuring Bob Ross smiling in front of a nice greenery, while some nice music playing.)

RFK Jr. and all the antivaxxers need a Nuremberg-style trial…

Conservatism. Used to be a conservative around being 18-20. Then I left it after I saw what giving 2/3rd of the seats to Orbán did in my country. Now I’m not only an anti-fascist, but I also actively oppose conservatism.

When we thought fascism would never come back, we had to learn fascism was just conservatism at its logical extremes.

They sent money to a lot of far-right campaigns, out of the money of Hungarian tax payers.

I think “men and females” is more telling…

There’s a good chance, that Fidesz is helping the far-right all across Europe at least, so there could be a collapse.

Sex equals bad.

Grew up believing I’m a horrible sex/porn addict, tried a lot of things to go “cold turkey” on it. This all while being “hornier” than the average person, although not to a “chronic hypersexual” degree (do have a 4 hour “marathon” a few times a year, especially during summer for some reason).

Nowadays I don’t have the dreaded “post nut clarity”. Even managed to accept my bisexuality over time.

Should most electronics come with no servicability at all, because most customers are not gorillas breaking products for no good reason?

The road to enshittification is paved with people telling you to just use the popular thing everyone else, calling removable media “e-waste”, or even suggesting you to just buy a pair of Raycons if you don’t want to pay for electrostatic headphones and an audiophile external DAC.

That will come after they suddenly announce they’re making Chromium closed source only, with the help of genAI.

Return of socketed mobile CPUs when?

Older ThinkPads are unbeatable, especially those that still have the CPU sockets in them, and can be upgraded. I put an i7-4702MQ into my L440, now it performs really well with Manjaro, at the cost of sometimes draining the CPU in 30-60 minutes under very high loads (battery might need some rebuilding).

Or maybe it will come with some subscription model to get you more power, from the cloud of course.

Maybe he would be onboard if it was called “age verification, to make sure you’re not exposed to trans people”…

Thank you for letting me to know about it!

Linux: “I am the non-janky OS now!”

Will we see translucent Macbooks once again? Currently I’m pondering whether to replace the shell of my Dualsense controller with a translucent one (would look sick alongside with the LEDs), as translucent electronics look cool, except the techbro class wants us to have “sleek, ultrathin models made with premium materials” only.

Wouldn’t be that bad, but it’s a multiple decades old engine. In fact, it’s first version even had software rendering for PCs without 3D accelerators.
