While this is bad for the market, it’s also entirely expected.

Xbox have been producing sub-par hardware with names no one can remember and barely any exclusives, it was only a matter of time.

To other Europeans : do you know anyone who owns an Xbox ? I’ve only ever had one single friend in middle school who had a 360. I’ve never seen any other model outside of an electronics store.

Their current gen is hamstrung by the existence of the Series S, and the utter lack of features in their controllers (no gyroscope or any motion sensors ? No advanced rumble ? No touchpad ?). No one who is serious about controller gaming buys an Xbox controller, especially because of the lack of gyro.

Their dedication to digital-only and pushing the games pass also alienates anyone who wishes to play physical games and/or offline.

They kinda murdered the game for me when they made it so easy to switch servers during play and avoid ever fighting anyone…

“Won’t support Lemmy” is a bit strong, but we should probably de-federate lemmy.ml

Bold of you to assume I am American, did you not check the instance I am from ?

Yes, there are many lies about China, but don’t get stuck in second opinion syndrome. China is both worse and better than you know.

The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true. During the cold war, both sides accused the other of being evil, and both were right.

Don’t let anyone who puts a “communist” sticker on their own forehead fool you into supporting them.

China bad. US bad. Russia bad.

All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)

This is why I chose to get a Corsair Virtuoso, which has a removable microphone.

Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !

I love reading a basic text article on the modern internet…

I hope they will atop doing that eventually…

Nope. “Content unavailable” no matter what I do.

Every video fails to play, the only solution I’ve been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don’t want to for privacy reasons.

That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I’m actually forced yo install it.

If only NewPipe worked…

The most important thing about social media is the first word : it’s social.

This sounds like a technically impressive medium, but if it fails to get a healthy community (which means, not just 4chan bros) then it will die.

Turns out “free speech” on a platform controlled by one guy can only ever be a lie.

CloudFlare keeps blocking me, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

Their mitigation comes at the cost of legitimate users being blocked, despite correctly identifying the bicycles in 16 different captchas in a row…

I’m not going to disable my VPN, I’ll try again later to see if it’s fixed.

NewPipe simply does not work for me. Every video fails to play.

The best YouTube experience I’ve achieved so far is still using the official website with a ton of firefox addons.
