ah yes, they are price fixing by saying devs can’t set the price on steam (which the devs control) higher than the price on other platforms (which the devs also control)

epic is irrelevant because nobody wants it, not because steam is trying to crush competition.

just nudity, a female character masturbating in a dream, and references to sex/fetishes/etc.

the best distro is the distro you like most out of the ones that work for whatever it is you do on your pc

hey jackass, the reason food farmers have a harder time making a profit than ones who make wine is because rich people pay a ton for wine as a status symbol while actively making things worse for most farmers by forcing them to sell to massive companies that dont pay them

i said intended to be funny. for example, the 67 meme is not funny. it is intended to be funny though, and like most new memes recently is intended to be funny mainly by referencing how it otherwise isn’t funny. theres a guy on yt shorts (I think the channel is etymologynerd or smth similar) who explains it a lot better.

there are also memes (meaning the kind intended to be funny on the internet in this case) which dont use images at all but are just a recurring reference or something like that. it is largely the same idea as the original meaning of the term but on the internet it generally refers to things that are intended to be funny (in recent years, usually through self-reference as a result of algorithm-based social media).

if you actually read the comment, I didnt say that anything was not a meme. what I said was that the person I was replying to was ignoring the other meaning of the word which, because of context, is clearly the relevant meaning in this case.

sounds plausible. might just block them.

the word meme gained a second definition on the internet, which is similar to the first but focused on specifically things intended to be funny. because context is a part of language whether you like it or not, that meaning is the one that is being used any time you see the word on the internet unless otherwise specified or unless the context in which you’re seeing it is one where the other is more appropriate (like a discussion about linguistics or the spread of ideas).

there are a couple microblogmemes communities and whitepeopletwitter (and similar) communities, but the ones on .world have terrible moderation.

i hate that microblogmemes allows people to just post anything from any microblog platform. they always justify it with “well a meme is actually just a self-replicating idea” which is technically true, but it ignores the meaning the term ‘meme’ has on the internet, which is basically just an image based joke that plays off of internet culture in general, typically including previous memes. in the context of a scientific field like linguistics or phycology, the first definition makes more sense. in the context of an internet group with no scientific interest, the second is obviously correct. also they always use that excuse when they are posting US politics instead of memes, which is bullshit because there are communities for politics and political memes. dont make off-topic posts, go post it in a community where it is relevant.

can I drink an ungodly amount of tea instead?

my friends do shit like that all the time like you were just saying “windows does stupid thing” and all I said was “linux does this instead they should be doing that on windows” and immediately the neckbeard with fedora gifs start flying

i trust them more than google. they’ve been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I’d rather self-host but i can’t rn.

i like nms but i wish each individual planet had more to do than just mining, scanning stuff, scavenging, and selling stuff. theres just no reason to do anything on any particular planet in your area unless you need resources it has and its a huge missed opportunity.

i work at a library it isnt fair for me to compete. i only use the fax machine because the government won’t let old people email them and they dont know how to anyway.

its ok bro. your mom just doesnt get it.

its a console without the insane locked down interface. its a computer without the need to fiddle with stupid technical stuff that should just work. its linux without the need to learn all the things you think you just always knew about other systems but actually had to learn and aren’t willing to anymore.
