I’ve been gaming on my SteamDeck for quite a while and I will continue that. There’s no way that I’m paying that much money for a new gaming computer

But as regular people, gamers, Lemmy posters, why are we doing the same? How is it serving us? Are we all influencers in waiting, hoping to up our updoot count and build a following of… dozens?

Many people are rationalizing their purchase decisions. Not everybody can afford to buy (and play!) two games so if you have two highly anticipated games or consoles coming out in the same time, most people can only get one. And then they have to choose. Afterward, they don’t want to hear that the other game is better, that it’s also great and they are missing out on a lot of fun and that the one they didn’t get is totally awesome.

Dann muss man aber auch sagen, dass sie im sehr textlastigen Fediverse auch völlig falsch sind.

Da stimme ich auch zu. Es gibt im deutschen Raum mit feddit.org und tchncs eigentlich nur zwei relevante Instanzen. Welche man nimmt, ist total egal. Und dann klickt man auf “Registrieren”, tippt einen Nutzernamen ein, ein Passwort, optional eine Mailaddi und ja, man muss unten einmal kurz einen Halbsatz reinschmieren, wie man auf die Seite aufmerksam geworden ist. Das ist schlicht und einfach nicht kompliziert und entspricht übrigens auch abgesehen von dem einen Halbsatz dem normalen Anmeldeprozedere überall. Wer das nicht rafft, kann nichts online bestellen, wird bei Reddit, Instagram und TikTok nicht reinkommen und kriegt auch kein Bahnticket gekauft. Und dann rennen drüben bei Reddit Leute rum, die es geschafft haben, sich bei Reddit zu registrieren und schreien “zu kompliziert”

It depends on what you want to do. If you’re a business and need those advanced Excel features, those plugins for your ERP and CRM and your job is to create Powerpoints, then Libre Office will give you a lot of pain. If you’re just some private person who wants to write a letter every few months, is maybe doing some light spreadsheeting to split the costs of a vacation and the only presentation you created was that one for uncle Ralphs birthday last year, Libre Office is totally ok. There really is no reason to pay for MS Office

Oder klug im Hinblick auf den eigenen Geldbeutel

Ist ja auch logisch, wenn man drüber nachdenkt: Wenn eine Verkehrssituation unklar ist, dann muss man das Tempo reduzieren und nicht einfach durchkacheln. Ein kluger Rechtsanwalt hätte ihm da auch geraten nicht zu klagen.

Gibt es irgendeine Erklärung dafür, die nicht “massive Korruption” lautet? Glückspiel ist eine riesige Seuche, verursacht gigantische Schäden und unsere Bundesländer machen das?

Wieso gefloppt? Der wird hier in Dubai von diversen Influencern total gehypt und die Leute stehen Schlange und zahlen Wucherpreise dafür!

The biggest problem here: Any subsidy in regard of renovating or insulating would go to the landlord. And the landlord is even allowed to hike your rent if he renovates the building.

Isn’t it totally obvious what the comic is critiquing? There are too many people out there who vote for racist parties that want to eliminate people in their social circle and that are totally butthurt when they get called out for that and are bitter when those people don’t want to have anything to do with them afterwards. “It’s just politics”

The correct tools are those small plastic containers or a cheap grease gun. You can get the grease better into the bearing with them and don’t have the risk of smearing cotton fiber in there. They are of course more expensive than a q-tip, but you can get one for unter 5€. Seriously, if you do this even a couple times a year, buy one.

(This is also a great example why environmental regulation is so tricky: It totally makes sense to prevent one of the worst polluting product to be phased out or replaced with a better solution. But then there are edge cases (how many people have even greased a bearing in their life?) where the new product might be worse, but that still is not an argument for mass pollution on our beaches or against that regulation)

Come on, let’s not doubt that eating car tires is unhealthy.

Why would you grease a bearing with a q-tip? Use a proper tool for that!

Yeah, because Manifest v3 is just being rolled out as described in the article.

You should at least play around with the export options and do regular exports. You really don’t want your diary of over 5 years to be stuck in an unmaintained app. And since this seems to be supporting exporting into markdown - maybe try an export and checkout logseq or Obsidian?

Let’s be honest: Everything that might be “worse” or “annoying” in Firefox for someone is not relevant in comparison to “no working adblocker available”. A browser without adblock is unusable
