My opinion is it is the turmoil in the games. Big money bought out many studios and brought a focus to shareholder value rather than games people want to play. Enshitification is everywhere. Doesn’t matter what your platform if choice is, last few years haven’t been great for gaming.
What are you afraid she is going to have to learn? Where the apps are? You have to do that with a new Windows install. I find people vastly overestimate the complexity of Linux. The UIs have VASTLY improved. I go to the terminal when I want to, not because I’ve been forced there. Thanks to Steam and their Proton layer, gaming hasn’t been an issue. I think there are too many Linux users out there worried they’ll lose their wizard status if everyone finds out how much easier Linux is vs how it used to be. Or how most perceive it to be.
I’m a Windows Server admin by trade and have been daily driving Linux at home for almost two years now. I am VERY familiar with the Windows UI, and yes more technical than the average person. Linux on the desktop has been very easy. More people should be giving it a shot as Microsoft makes us jump through hoops to do what we want.
What was the wait for Diakantana?
Meta is training sexbots, isn’t it?
And I’m still here with a 1080p TV. Because my previous ISP had data caps, I’m not convinced my current ISP won’t move to data caps, and there isn’t a lot of good 1080p content out there besides DVD/BluRay and my Rips, let alone 5k or 8k content.
I’ve had T-Mobile 5G internet for several years now, and no issues. I’d say I’ve had to reboot the router more than with Comcast. But our area has also gone through a lot of tower upgrades. I’m not a competitive FPS player, mainly playing MMOs and nothing unusual. Streaming content has been fine. I also work full time remote with an IT job, and that hasn’t been an issue either.
It’s going to depend on how good your local signal is. T-Mobile phones in my area work well, while they don’t work as well when I visit my parents in another state. So the 5G Internet will follow suit. If you don’t have T-Mobile phones then you’ll have to pay attention to friends or reviews in your local area.
In 1980, sure.
Boohoohoo, I’m a conservative and I’m so oppressed!
One thing has nothing to do with the other. Just more, “Get a horse,” anti-AI energy.
Meh, lots of them earned it.
Too many MBAs and execs are too focused on the shareholder. They forget you have to take care of the customer first. It doesn’t help we have insane institutional shareholders who reward execs for punishing the customer. It’s a big reason Enshittification is such a big problem today.
Big or small, use a VPN and take them out of the equation.
Look into IPTV. Not sure what the IPTV client situation is on Mac.
I went with Tivimate on my Android box with Trex IPTV service I bought from Z2U.com.
People here actually believe companies should just accept fines and their execs accept jail on their behalf rather than the company comply with laws they don’t like.
IPTV. I use Trivimate on my Android box.
I’d say it’s clickbait. The hardcore SC people act like other games don’t exist and won’t say a peep about them. Those of us that have sunk money into SC but play other games too will just play whatever suits us at the time. There is plenty to bitch about SC without comparisons to other games’ updates. When we do compare to other games it tends to be generalized like, “Online games have had working doors, elevators, and inventory since the 1990s.”
Aggressive? Hell no. I’m just not being Pollyanna.
Ahhhh, the old “I don’t see that” cope. Balance this against the hundreds of others that say otherwise.
Wonder if they have a deal with Epic or some other Steam rival to be the centerpiece in an anti-trust lawsuit, the same way Oracle propped up the corps of Netscape.
