I feel bad for anyone with no linux experience who bought a steam deck. There’s a good amount of weirdness with the UI sometimes, and modifying desktop mode controls can lead to it ignoring inputs until steam launches on occasion.

I know these issues stem from this being a brand new device with a brand new form factor, using whacky proprietary track pads and shit. But someone who’s only used windows might attribute them to linux and be left with a bad taste.

It’s good that the Ally exists so we can have a windows handheld to compare against.

Oh for sure! The issue is that one of those meanings can also imply sentience, and news outlets love doing that shit. I talk to people every day who fully believe that “AI” text transformers are actually parsing human language and responding with novel and reasoned information.

that sounds dope as FUCK

Meanwhile the jokes you’re defending have already been removed.

Y’know, for the transphobia.

Have fun laughing tho 💖

finally a use for the .fail TLD

Likewise anyone is free to say “that joke isn’t funny”, you deal with it. Fucking snowflake lmao

“Hey fuck you for correctly pointing out transphobia, downvote”

What the fuck lemmy, we’re really making “pickle” jokes about a trans woman? Are we fucking chrischan? Grow up.

Learning Rust. It’s the future anyway.

So is buying an electric car and working from home. “Rust is the future” is turning into the new “I use Arch btw”.

I’d watch a 12 episode miniseries about that guy.

I reckon you could kill it with a pin in a casual enough way, maybe make it look like you’re just putting a hand there to lean? Also you have like 4 other people come throughout the day and get gas at that same pump, and they do a similar casual hand movement around the speaker.

You’d be safe as houses, probably!

Left side, second from the bottom iirc

Yep. Just shell stations around here (so far at least)

They’re super loud and in my experience usually political, think local office smear ads and oil lobbyist propaganda.

If the gas pumps have those unlabeled buttons around a screen, try pressing all of em. The pumps around here (nebraska) will mute the audio when you press one of the buttons, it just isn’t labeled. I’ve taken to writing “mute” on the magic-button with a sharpie whenever I pump my gas.

You are all over the fucken place, now the person who told that story shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

Pseudo-intellectualism probably plays better in the crowds you roll with than it does here.

It’s a good goddamn thing you just think you’re a psychologist.

Nop, named so because once you learn how to use it properly, you can finish tasks faster and easier than any other plug-in solution. Plus it’s way less awkward than just rubbing randomly all over the trackpad.

Actually my friends and loved ones display basic human empathy. They don’t berate strangers over the authenticity of their trauma. So I do afford them quite a bit more couth than I feel you’ve earned in this interaction.

I hope that isn’t projection on your part, by the way. At this point I mostly just feel bad for you.

the clit mouse

And you take that as an invitation to do this shit?

Your opinion has been weighed on the scales of this public forum and has been found wanting.

You can go whenever.

I really appreciate you bringing the context back into the discussion, hot damn! Honestly, that’s a much more measured and reasonable response than my snarky comment should deserve lmao

I’m not trying to argue that the friend in OP’s story is a racist because of that comment. I do, however, think that OP probably had other reasons to cast this particular interaction as having racist intentions. I’m obviously assuming things about the situation beyond the information provided, but so is the other so-and-so that I’m being an asshole to. Only that individual is also like, harassing the teller of the story over it?

Either way I’m way too invested in this thread, hope you’re having a good day!

If that were the whole of the situation you might have a point, but you miss out on most nuance and context when you boil it down to “someone who does X is good”
