It's someone having fun at the beach.

I do acknowledge that, but a society is made up of individuals. And none of those individuals is responsible for the crimes committed by their ancestors. Guilt is not passed down through generations. I do not believe that people living in former colonies are entitled to reparations because my ancestors committed crimes against their ancestors, even if those crimes still have repercussions in the current day.

Reparations for what? At least here in Germany there's virtually (and I'm covering my bases here, I'm fairly sure that it's literally nobody) nobody left who could be held even partially responsible for colonialism, and I am not willing to pay for crimes that I did not commit. Very few people are, I'd imagine.

Thanks for elaborating. That's a much better description of what happened.

All parties other than the Nazi Party were banned. Wtf are you talking about?

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn't the best deal for everyone. Chill.

But since I'm back here already, if you're trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I'd expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn't capable of. It isn't a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that's not what it's designed to be. It's primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

And I wasn't going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won't have to deal with "getting around" things, ever.

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

Not always and not for everyone. If you want to output a decent quality image to a TV to play on the couch, then the Steam Deck isn't exactly a great choice because it can't really do that, it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution, nevermind a TV's (either 1080p or increasingly often 4k). If all you play is older and/or indie games it might still work fine, but it's not a one size fits all.

Neurotypical here - that's the correct response.

Yeah. It's one of those things where I'm sure it's genuinely useful to some people but why on Earth is it on by default?!

Firefox. Librewolf's defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that's what I'm doing.

This dude has been full mask off since Covid. And he's been an asshole before too, I think the façade really started to crack when he was told that his mini submarine was useless (of course one could argue that the fact that the first thing Musk's mind went to when he wanted to disparage someone was "paedo" is rather telling).

As long as the phone isn't used in class I fail to the the issue. There's no need to ban phone use in general while on school premises.
