i don't really know if the linux community should be claiming the guy who casually drops the n word like he breathes air as our guy.

edit: JESUS FUCK y'all have too much time on your hands

This thread is killing me. I'm really tired of how open-source people and gamers are so quick to forgive and move on, all under the veil of we don't care about politics. Well, how fucking lucky for you then! What, do you think the people who care are having autistic hyper-fixations on politics? Is that it? Like, I don't have less depressing hyper-fixations to have, maybe? Well, I'm glad to see that it's all working out great for you! Now, if you could stop looking at yourself for a minute, that would be great!

Fuck. Bigots.

We should not allow them in our spaces like that. We should not welcome them with open arms because they have lots of subscribers and it gives us exposure! We have enough far-right dipshit in our communities as is.

Oooh, but what about redemption?! What about rehabilitation?!

Listen people, I grew up in a far-right home. I was a far-right dipshit for a long time because of that. But the difference is, I haven't been called out for paying some guys to write some heinous antisemitism on a sign, after I've been called out for dog whistling to Nazis in an apology, after I've been called out for shouting out a Nazi in a video about channels, my name wasn't dropped live by a Nazi shooter, and I certainly didn't invite fucking Ben Shapiro on my program to review memes to my millions and millions of followers!

Come on! We're not talking about a guy who said something cringe on Twitter 12 years ago here. It's not about believing that we're perfect and being self-centered, as I have read in this thread. It's about having some fucking standards. I am forgiving. I know that people can change. But there are fucking limits as to what I'm willing to accept.

This is so tiring.

fucking finally some common sense. they're basically trying to paint anyone who brings up his pattern of white supremacy as a cancel culture extremist.

all this incel reactionary bs is because the tech bros refuse to admit they were wrong during gamergate and are still on the wrong side of history because you refuse to listen to feminists or anyone who's not white.

On the Steam Deck there is Google too, there is the sponsored Chrome install and cloud saves uses Google servers

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Where did you get this information?

[–] yumyumsmuncher@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I installed AdGuard Home (pihole alike) and blocked all Google then my deck wasn't able to sync my game saves, I had to allowlist steam.googlecloudsomethingsomething in order for cloud saves to work

Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

It's amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.
