yep, it’s a psychological attack (on your subconscious) to create unrealistic expectations and feelings of inadequacy among consumers who do not experience the same outcomes.

whether you pay attention to it or not, it’s still a psychic attack

i don’t know what happened to us as a society… we seem to have lost all semblance of media literacy.

it feels like in the 90’s we were all very ad-aware, and actively opposed the idea of ‘selling out’… then the rolling stones sold the rights to Start Me Up to windows and we’ve been in a race to the bottom ever since. why are we talking about ‘monetizing your hobbies’.

what happened to shows like Media Television, magazines like AdBusters? does nobody remember reading Naomi Klein’s ‘No Logo’??

edit: Remember when Adam Curtis made 'A Century of the Self?

It takes much longer than that for gas to go bad… I have left untreated gas in lawnmowers, motorcycles, boats etc for entire off-seasons (plus a couple months on top of that) and the gas still goes boom just fine. I wouldn’t race with it… And I’m sure it would test at a lower octane level, but it will still run an engine

Knoppix live cd

Steam deck SteamOS iso installer! It’s actually surprisingly stable for basic tasks but it is pretty locked down so you can’t really break it unless you really try. And it seems to run better if your pairing it with amd cpu/gpu hardware

Yep! It’s the SteamOS 3 beta… It’s got some bugs and some weirdness to it, but it’s not terrible at all

I run SteamOS on desktop hardware because I hate windows and it solves almost every Linux gaming problem out of the box…
