I’d love AC if they got rid of the scifi bullcrap and just let me enjoy being a pirate/viking/whatever.

No, you’re thinking of the Morlocks. These idiots will obviously be the Elois.

For reasons I won’t get into, I had a chance to peruse the training program for the sales force of Azure and their strategy actually is telling their potential clients that they already subscribe to Office 365 so they might as well use their cloud too.

You’re immune to irony. It’s impressive.

Because communism le bad.

Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.

Obligatory xkcd.

Fair enough. I guess everyone deals with depression in different ways.

Every comment you guys make just cements how disconnected from reality you really are. There’s also cheap games for the Switch.

But… why? I’m sure nobody at the McDonald’s even noticed or cared about him, let alone who he was talking to, or pretending to talk to.

lol scale up what? “local” in China means “1.4 billion possible users”

Edit: just asked my wife who does infrastructure at FAANG and apparently, this is a very ignorant comment. Shame on everyone who upvoted.

Nope, you’re disconnected from the real world because you don’t understand the average user doesn’t care about specs they can’t see. You walking back your words now doesn’t mean you didn’t say them. Nobody is putting anything in your mouth.

If an app has IMEI access, it could indeed make/manage calls

Yep, but it shouldn’t, there’s no reason to. That’s what I mean by stupid.

Well, the problem isn’t that your take is unpopular, it’s that it’s confusing. You say they only appeal to the unintelligent or immature but you also say you don’t like them. I’m sure you can see the contradiction.

blablabla specs-wise

See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you’re gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck’s hardware.

Nothing I’ve said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.

Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.

The Make an manage phone calls permission is needed to read the IMEI so that’s probably why they want it. Yeah, permissions in Android are stupid.

But how? What infrastructure? Do they have their own fiber network or something?

lol no. If a company can’t answer what my work hours are gonna be before we even have the first interview, I’m not wasting my time.

Mambo No. 5 next.

AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON’T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.

The base SteamDeck doesn’t have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it’s a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you’re the one spewing misinformation.
