The thing I’m most intrigued by is the Steam Frame. I’ve been running a second hand Quest 2 with WiVRn to stream my VR games on Linux to it and it works well, but I hate having a headset made by Meta.

4K (with FSR). It’ll be 1080p upscaled to 4K.

That said, that’s not necessarily a bad thing for something they’ve said is targeting just above a traditional console’s price tag.

I prefer Wayland over X11, but Cinnamon doesn’t support it yet as stable

I thought Rivian had the lowest reliability rating among electric cars?

Not really. You can choose to go somewhere else at any time. Even the Steam Deck is open to installing a different OS that doesn’t even include the Steam store.

Valve: Has reasonably priced games on sale frequently

Makes the Steam Deck

Actively supports Linux, both for VR and regular gaming

Has the best customer service out of any competitor

Has the best store experience out of any competitor

I mean…it’s not surprising that they’re a monopoly, but that doesn’t make them a bad one.

Yes but that is a third party solution to those platforms refusing to support Linux. Good on the people developing Heroic, but Steam has native support.

I’ve found most in-house brands from your supermarkets taste nearly identical to Heinz.

I suppose, but I’m skeptical of car manufacturer claims, too, until independent testing is done.

I hope this is real and think it’s awesome, but will wait to see if they exaggerated.

By their own admission, they’re “entertainment”.

I think you mean “conflating”, not correlating. I’m not comparing two disparate data points.

Both of the things you described are the same sides of a coin, but with the commitment slider moved around a bit. Much of what I said applies to both.

Polycules, in your description, might be more “successful”, but that’s only because there isn’t any real commitment. If the relationship falls apart, oh well move on. That’s barely a tick on the slider from a fuck buddy and two ticks away from one night stands.

Again, everybody should be allowed to do whatever they want. Freedom in sexuality is important. I just don’t think these relationships are successful in the majority of cases and I prefer a stable relationship with someone I know will be there throughout my whole life. I have no doubt that I’ll die before I ever considered leaving my SO because I’m in it for the long haul.

Not denying that. Monogamy between incompatible partners who don’t communicate happens all the time.

Ragebaiting is basically 60% of the Republican platform.

The other 40% is Nazi shit and racism.

I’m not going to judge people who try open relationships, but I’ve literally never seen them work. It’s also nothing new. Swingers were a thing decades ago. I’ve seen marriages implode, people end up needing therapy, and the like. I have a friend who is poly and has multiple people in her relationship group. She tried to tell me “how great it is” and then the next day I hear about the latest group drama. I’m like “yeah fuck that noise”.

It’s kind of like communism. I love the idea of communism. Equality for everybody and everybody has an equal say in the means of production. However, it only takes one prick not pulling their weight on purpose to abuse the system and it all comes crumbling down, which is why so many communist countries have a dictator forcing everyone to “be equal”.

The same is true of open relationships. It only takes one possessive or damaged person to blow up the whole group. The weakest link in most things is the fact that some people fucking suck.

Until someone tests it independently, this should be considered BS.

Most Christian groups are, but yes…Mormons are extra insane.

There is an entire Lemmy instance just for that.

Pretty sure us Mint enjoyers don’t give AF because our distro is for people who just want things to work.

That’s just what they fucking want you to think.
