There are so, so many better ebook readers to choose from. Honestly just a phone with an oled screen is better than kindle.

Honestly Juggalos are fine. Stinky and often cringe for sure but mostly completely harmless. They are a really welcoming group of people and generally very kind to each other.

I’m sure the CEO got the message

Can confirm that Germany is cucked by fascists and only getting worse. AfD is on the rise and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

I build cross platform desktop software professionally.

Because of this I have to use and pretty deeply understand the inner workings of every OS.

I can state as absolute fact that every major operating system including Linux is an absolute pile of hot garbage.

The difference is that macOS and windows are garbage on purpose. There were deliberate decisions to enshitify them for profit. They spent time and money making the OS worse on purpose.

On Linux most of the shitty parts were designed with good intentions but just kinda suck (Wayland for example).

Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers

Do you have a source on this? Everything I have read from them so far about the news today makes this sound like a temporary problem that was out of their control.

This is a time critical moment for itch.io. The situation developed rapidly, and we had to act urgently to protect the platform’s core payment infrastructure. Unfortunately, this meant it was not realistic to provide creators with advance notice before making this change. We know this is not ideal, and we apologize for the abruptness of this change.

We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors. Pages will remain deindexed as we complete our review. Once this review is complete, we will introduce new compliance measures. For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.

I’m pretty confident they will get this sorted out. It doesn’t seem like they have any intention of banning nsfw content.

Steam / Valve doesn’t care if you pirate games as long as you don’t involve their servers. This is a pretty known / accepted fact.

If you really are worried just install a different OS on steam deck and don’t use steam at all.

I don’t think I would personally really consider using windows for anything these days. Semi-ironic to be concerned about steamOS spyware when you are comparing to windows which for sure has spyware.
