Valve’s added some Nvidia support to steamos, but Nvidia has not played well with Linux in general in my experience. Sounds like that’s gotten a lot better recently though.

The cops probably couldn’t figure out how search engines work, so makes sense why they think this is a game changer

Other methods of data collection can be scarily effective. Stores have identified people were pregnant before they knew.

Very likely they identified you as someone that could have that condition, and you noticing the ads after talking to your doctor is a form of recency bias.

You can collect almost all the same data from traditional surveillance methods. Collecting and processing mocrophone data just isn’t effective enough to make up for the massively increased costs from processing it.

Yeah, there’s just more effective methods to get essentially the same data.

Eh, idk if there’d be enough content for its own community

Very common to drink eggnog mixed with alcohol here

GOG Seels DRM free games that you can download the installers and all necessary files. No matter what they do, once you’ve downloaded it, they can’t stop you from playing it.

They’re like the only store that actually sells you the game and not a revokable license to a game

If you don’t care about trans people, women, various other marginalized groups, sure.

Voting lets us pick a weaker enemy.

The Democrats having practically negative effectiveness is still infinitely more effective.

Obviously voting for dems isn’t going to produce the fundamental changes we need, neither is voting third party or not voting.

Dems will at best slightly slow our descent into fascism. That gives us slightly more time to build dual power and engage in direct action.

We’re far behind, and need every second of time we can squeeze in.

Say the orphan crushing machine crushes 100 orphans an hour.

Influencing the orphan crushing machine does not impact your ability to try to destroy the orphan crushing machine.

You can influence the orphan crushing machine towards crushing 99 orphans an hour.

In what possible scenario should I not take that action. It doesn’t stop the orphan crushing machine, but if it takes us a year to destroy the orphan crushing machine, that’s 8,700 orphans we saved from getting crushed.

Please explain how

I voted to make the system get worse slightly slower while I work on non-electoral direct action

Is worse than

I abstained from an action that could make the system get worse slightly slower while I work on non-electoral direct action

Even if both evils are equal, they are the same. You chose to take an action that’s at best the same as the other option.

Are you suggesting that a feeling of moral superiority while things get worse isn’t a better solution???

Yes, what shade of grey is closest to green is unclear, but there are only two shades of grey that can win. I’d be ecstatic about dumping my shade of grey if anybody could explain how it would bring us closer to green.

That is something you do outside of electoral politics. You will not achieve that by not voting for the lesser evil.

No, you should vote for a different lesser evil that they prefer even though it will be even less effective

They had the highest turnout, CNN’s exit poll had them at 35% of voters while boomers, the next highest, were at 29%

Gen X was the most trump voting generation. Gen X is people born with to 1980. They’re between 44 and 59, the demographic that voted most heavily for Trump.
