What a garbage article lol. The only two arguments I can pick out are 1. Old steam games haven’t been updated to work on macOS and 2. Some games require 3rd party launchers. I think the author was just angry that his mac dropped support for a 20 year old game.

I dont think I’m American enough to understand this. How does wanting people to have freedom to use their systems as they please correlate with everyone being able to own and freely carry weapons that can kill instantly?

I would agree, clothes have never really affected me. I did a 150 km ride around my city wearing jorts and a wind breaker.

This is what has been keeping me on chromium for my study partition. I would love to use Firefox, but I need to group tabs by class. Once Firefox implements this I’ll be able to drop google products completely.

If you really wanna stay private, wouldn’t it be better to use Monaro? You won’t have to worry about all the limitations of the physical world, and on top of that you’ll get 10% off. It seems like the overall better option compared to mailing cash.

I am forced to use instagram, because that’s all anyone my age uses to communicate. I’m in the process of setting up matrix bridge so that I can be done with that app.

Canada, specifically Alberta. I would say that it’s better out east or on the coast, but housing over there is even worse than it is here.

I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.

My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.

On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn’t go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there’s less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn’t care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it’s effects.

I don’t want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.

A sizeable fraction of the students I’ve talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.

As a CS student, yes absolutely. These people then complain about paper exams and when the code gets complex enough for the AI to make mistakes. I’ve seen a few people drop out in programming 2, and my web 1 class was decimated because we were doing more than leetcode exercises. It’s a real problem that so many people are using it as a crutch.

In my experience the latency on Bluetooth mice and keyboards is so low that it doesn’t matter. Most people who aren’t playing in like the top 1% of their game should be fine.

My main goal as a pirate is getting stuff for free, and I would reckon that the majority of pirates are the same.

I was really into skiing when I was younger, and would go every weekend with my buddy and his dad. I tried to outrun them, fell, and tumbled. My shoulder was very badly sprained, and I couldn’t use it for like a month. Now from time to time it flares up again, and the pain comes back for a few hours. The shoulder is also much easier to sprain now, every time I fall it’s out of commission for weeks. I went to my doctor, who told me that nothing is broken and there’s nothing he can do about it.

I only use the play store to keep critical apps (banking and security) updated. Everything else comes from Aurora.

I could be so much more efficient on a computer. One hand for the mouse, two hands in the standard typing position, and one hand on an external numpad. It would eliminate the need to ever move my hands. I want 4 hands now :(.

I chose lemmy.ca because I’m a proud Canadian patriot 💪🇨🇦🫡
