…oh.

This post is supremely stupid then.

I’m confused. What is anti-work in relation to gaming?

The link just seems to point to a list of steam curators who talk like middle schoolers in lieu of a review.

This post is baffling to me.

Ya can’t make me worried about China when I live in America

Yup. Mountains of slop is gonna replace schlock. What was before schlock will soon be slop. Well, it won’t be the end of schlock entirely. I’m sure we’re still gonna get some schlock that’s also slop. Slop schlock.

Personally, the issue is ease of installation and configuration of programs.

Some things (edit: admittedly, most of the “important basics”, such as web browsers, Steam and Office-suite equivalents) are just as simple as they are on Windows and iOS with just clicking a button and using a wizard of sorts, but some things need you to parse a series of terminal prompts and figure out how to rewrite parts of the instructions to fit your particular machine and setup.

Often I end up missing or misunderstanding some step and it doesn’t work and I have no idea why.

It’s not impenetrable and it’s not a problem exclusive to Linux, but it does make setting things up a bit more of a chore.

I got Ubuntu on a laptop now to test out how to use that as my daily OS before I commit to figuring out how to swap over my Windows 10 desktop sometime next year and it admittedly is MUCH EASIER now than when I last tried around 2008, but I still run into problems.

I’m currently trying to schedule a weekend where I can diagnose why my raspberry pi won’t boot after a power outage when it’s survived that in the past and another weekend to figure out why the self hosted tandoor app I got successfully running a few months ago suddenly stopped and cannot run now, even after what I thought was a clean install.

I wanna switch. I do. But so many steps of it are full on projects. I’m learning a lot and it gets easier every step of the way, but it’s still at a state where I need to schedule time to address these things that “just work” on Windows.

Edit: I understand why this is the case. A lot of these things are free, open source projects made by teams who don’t necessarily have the time and resources to make their program out-of-the-box ready for every conceivable software and hardware set up out there. And I understand why someone might think that a corporate backing of resources might be able to address that issue, but I agree it isn’t really isn’t in accordance with the goals of Linux or helpful to the point of moving away from these corporate structures.

Lmao buddy you turned marketing buzz words into ontological argument come the fuck on

You might as well say Mr Clean is clearly a diety of some sort because of his undying commitment to purity

I don’t agree. I think shutting down places that promote bigotry and slurs is good.

If they just want to run a minecraft server, they easily can. They just can’t also use that as a place to promote hatred and bigotry.

What you’re making is a slippery slope argument that doesn’t really hold water.

Ngl, whenever “libertarians” get their hackles up about needing a right to “free speech”, I always suspect they mean bigotry and slurs.

Funny, but the reality is even darker. There are zero safeguards built into the program for these scenarios so it makes absolutely no correlation between the two topics, something even a self-styled, unlicensed “life coach” would easily do.

I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.

Lmao we’re boned

Honey this is America, anything is legal if you got the money
