Still don't have my REAL ID, I have my passport. Zero reason to get one until I'm forced to in 2028 when I renew.

Personally at this point I think passports should be free for every US Citizen to get, or at least the card one.

Idk why, but this reminded me of the South Park episode where everyone is using photoshop to show off their girlfriends.

Had to make the meme

As a parent, I have zero faith in any system like this. I'm all for more parental controls(like what Gnome 50 just implemented), but I don't want anything(program, web browser, video game, etc) to be able to query any kind of "age" field on an account on my system.

I don't want ANYONE to know if my child is using a device. And if that means I have to create an adult account for them, then so be it. I don't want my child's information being scraped and imported into some random database that gets leaked or sold to nefarious actors.

Star Wars comes to mind immediately.

What's funny is I liked Rey as a character and the first movie was fine, but it quickly went downhill with the next two and I haven't watched any of them since.

But I've probably watched Rogue One about a dozen times so far and it's one of the best modern Star Wars movie we've had.

A crap movie is a crap movie. Just sucks to get tossed in the incel pile because incels hate a specific movie too.

Shout out to Switch and click doing a run through of different distros as well. Probably the best from a "normie" perspective IMO.

Meh, emulate it and get better frame rates and higher resolution.

Why would I buy a console that plays the game at an inferior state?

Nintendo is free at any time to release their games on Steam or even their own PC storefront and if I could play it with my hardware then I'd buy most games at full price.

Until then, nah I'm good.

I mean this is why I stopped using social media 10 years ago. Bunch of nonsense drivel, everyday.

I'm not victim blaming, this shit shouldn't happen, but if you are on a platform and that platform has shit moderation and you keep seeing content you don't like, well, maybe you should leave that platform? I mean this is why we all left reddit, right?

If I walk into a wall once, then it's an accident. If I keep walking into it, then I'm just stupid.

LOL.

I mean, oh no! What will I do now? I only have a hundred thousand other games I can play now.

Guess I'll just not play PlayStation games now and go spend my money on amazing indie titles that seem to blow everything else out of the water these days.

I've already switched over to LibreWolf a month or two ago. Clean, simple, and it just works.

I can't wait until it's leaked that these child accounts are being used to target minors for whatever: ads, sexual exploitation, etc.

And I absolutely hate Gnome. But thank god we have over a dozen DEs to choose from. One of the great things about Linux is user choice.

The regular average joe isn't going to switch on their own. The average person sees Windows and MacBook as their two options for a laptop.

Also, Linux isn't a replacement for Windows. It's its own thing, with its own issues but also advantages.

And most young people don't have their own computers growing up anymore, it's all phones and tablets and in the USA apple has won that race.

They are being accused of price fixing with the whole "can't sell games for cheaper on other store fronts compared to the steam listing" thing

[email protected] explains it better below:

It only applies to Steam product keys though, so developers cannot sell cheap Steam keys on other platforms while still taking advantage of Steam’s services.

That seems to be the answer for everything on this site. I left reddit because I didn't like all of the doom scrolling, nihilistic, bullshit posts, yet they're here too now.

I know we shouldn't have brand loyalty, but after the near decade of quad core only CPUs from Intel, I can't help but feel absolute hate towards them as a company.

I had a 3770k until AMD released their Ryzen 1000 series and I immediately jumped over, and within the next generation Intel started releasing 8 core desktop cpus with zero issues.

I haven't bought anything Intel since my 3770k and I don't think I ever will going forward.

Not sure why anyone is still using Verizon.

US Mobile has access to their networks and it's cheaper. Same service. Been with USM for nearly 2 years now. My parents and siblings all switched over too. Moved our numbers over with zero issues.

Verizon not in your area? Cool, USM also has access to T-Mobile and ATT.

People need to learn to shop around, especially in the current economy we're in.

Oh for sure, no doubt about that. Just like the post office date marking on mail being changed. It's all bullshit the Trump administration is trying to get away with.

This is why I stopped using Twitch(among other things). Kept making it harder and harder to block ads, content experience got worse because of it, so I just stopped using the platform entirely.

It's hilarious how Apple was caught off guard to begin with.

Just going off of the triangle of "cheap-fast-good", the Neo literally hits all three categories really well.

The majority of standard users only need a web browser nowadays. I'm not sure if it can view/sign PDFs and send print jobs, but I'm sure it can, and all of this covers the 99% use case for a household device.

I'm the tech guy of the family. Linux nerd, GrapheneOS on my phone, blah blah blah. If my mom needed a new laptop I would 100% recommend the Neo and be done with it. No frills, no bullshit. Shit I want to pick one up just to play around with it because it's CHEAP, even though I dont like Apple's ecosystem.

I'm not sure how it would fare as a college device(test taking, remote screen sharing, proprietary programs, etc) but even for middle schoolers and high schoolers this should cover most, if not all, bases.

That's why I have a reverse osmosis system and use it to refill my plastic arrowhead bottles!
