This is just motivated reasoning. Someone thinking "Oh no, I look kinda like that guy! I'm fucked!" seems incredibly far-fetched to me.

Let me enjoy making fun of them! ;)

By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

Just like on Reddit, that depends on the moderators of the sub/com. It really couldn't work any other way. .world seems to often err on the side of being inoffensive for the sake of broader appeal. (And probably also not getting in hot water with their hosting partners, acquaintances, etc.)

You had to hit me with the word "literally?" 😆

I don't know what you mean, though. "Meme" and "post" are two different words describing different things, even if they're often related. They aren't synonyms.

If you think about it, the perception of what is "right side up" is arbitrary. It's like that cliche discussion of qualia and what if what I see as red is different from what you see as red.

From what I can tell, that's not unique to the lemmy network.

I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.

What makes it "cartel style?"

The meaning of "meme" continues to drift. It's almost synonymous with "post" now.

I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it's really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.
