You mentioned tons of fantasy subgenres, but the one I was singling out is sci-fi, which is not something classical fantasy fans are usually fans of.

If you put add SciFi into the bag and remove a huge part of the books, keeping only the bestsellers, no wonder the statistics are so different.

I’d say that it’s you who has skewed the comparison here.

I get your point but you are comparing phones with consoles. I don’t think that apple’s case can be used as precedent here.

It’s a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don’t really know if this painting was about chronos, that’s a theory.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…

It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

Have you watched the video or read the subtitles? Title is horribly wrong.

The title is completely different from what he’s saying he’s saying that deals should be public, not that they should not be made. What shitty propaganda title is this?

Booooy, read about sandy hook, the infowars dude lost a lawsuit so big he had to apparently sell infowars, and the onion won the bid.

Then the dude tried to null the bid or something, and the comic happened.

I easily game +6 hours a day on Linux though. PoE 1-2, D2, modded d2, Cyberpunk, witcher3, ffxiv, Monster hunter world-ride-wilds, HotS (year the blizzard client works and with it all blizzard games without anticheat)… To name a few.

Because you are not able to see their whole face on camera. If you zoom and oar attention they also have a normal face.

In the Equality Act, race can mean your colour, or your nationality (including your citizenship).

I’m pretty sure I know. Do you?

In any case, we are arguing about semantics. You would agree that the post was prejudicial, right?

You said that the kernel anticheat problem will never be solved, I challenged that, not that this is seen as a Linux problem for the end user or not.

I play all the games I want to play, no one wants to play all the games, there’s no physical time to do so.

Also, all of this is in the context of a tech savvy person. A tech savvy person can tweak almost all games to run properly nowadays… I do and I’m not THAT savvy.

I usually eat at 2, which accounting for timezone is 1pm in Portugal (best country to compare to, next to us and without the timezone nonsense). Is that late for you?

I think we agree on viewpoints, we differ more on the definition of racism. I agree that racism classically has been about ethnicity, but in modern days it’s more broad. For example:

In the Equality Act, race can mean your colour, or your nationality (including your citizenship).

So if nationality can be qualified as a race, discrimination about nationality should be called racism.

In any case, you can replace racist in my original comment with prejudicial (although racist sounds way more heavy, which is why I prefer it) and it’s true anyway.

It presents the ever famous image of “lazy Spaniards don’t work and have lazy hours.nothing is open ever”. That’s racist.

It’s kinda funny you mention all those points to me, when I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now. I play on steam, use heroic for gog games, play a lot of modded D2… All in Linux. Saying that Microsoft treats backwards compatibility and support when they are forcing everyone to either pay for win10 support or join the win11 spyware mafia is a ludicrous statement btw.

Games with kernel-level anticheat do work on Linux, if the anticheat provider has done the work. Right now, most don’t and actively stopped supporting Linux so saying that won’t work ever is kind of a stretch.

“Isn’t good enough to replace windows” - here I am playing Modded games, path of exile, ffxiv, other FF games, cyberpunk, all PC monster Hunter games… Your statement is false.

I see nothing wrong with using a compatibility layer, it does the work of retrocompatibility alongside separating game environments, which is good for security.

Oh, sure. Agreed that at the time the proton Linux ecosystem was pretty under developed.

But to be excited now about a windows handheld is a whole other story, specially because of the battery as stated.

Unless you want to play TFT on the handheld for some god forsake reason I see no point on it being windows. But I ditched widows for all my PCs and I’m very tech savvy so I’m biased.

The big problem with windows handhelds is battery, there is a huge difference in consumption. I highly doubt that “most steam deck purchasers installed windows” (if that’s what you meant), you need a high technical level to do so and people are used to being limited to a single store in a console anyway.

There’s two reasons for those hours.

1. Timezones, as mentioned by several people here, you can mentally remove 1 hour for it to make more sense, Portugal is right next to us and their times make a little bit more sense. That doesn’t justify all the numbers shown though, and that because…
2. They are fucking made up. Maybe if you didn’t go to touristic hubs you would find more normal timetables. Work starts at 8 so breakfast joints open at 7 if early, people eat at 2, they have dinner from 8 to 9, 10 if it’s eating out. At 11 people are preparing to go to bed in most of the country.

We do have family lunches and dinners occasionally, but that’s not an everyday thing, not even a weekly thing. Maybe a yearly thing. Sorry for not having huge houses and doing them at restaurants I guess?

Restaurants stop serving around 4 and start again after 7-8 because they need to clean between the lunch and dinner service. Wild concept I know. Also it’s not feasible to keep the kitchen staff there when nobody goes to eat.

The way you present the country is pretty racist to say the least.
