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.
More, and that’s assuming you can ever build momentum. I wasn’t defending the choice.
Because fixing something from the inside takes work and time. And it’s not like it wasn’t happening (as much as I’m not a fan of it because I actually am one of the evil liberals people here love to complain about), people like AOC or Tlaib would never have been prominent voices ~20 years ago. But generational change happens over a timespan of, and I feel that it’s very odd that I need to point this out, generations.
What a load of bullshit.
First off, the communists split from the SPD, not the other way around. Second, the communists completely refused to work with the (according to them) “social fascist” SPD. Third, the one alternative to Hindenburg in that election was literally Hitler and the other was Thälmann who, again, was as explicitly anti-democratic as Hitler. Fourth, Hindenburg did not immediately appoint Hitler, he did so only after Hitler had secured a majority in parliament (courtesy of the DNVP). Fifth, no, the alleged liberals (social democrats) did not cooperate with the communists because the communists were too busy trying to turn Germany into a second Soviet Union and were the only ones to vote against the enabling act (the communists having already been purged from parliament). The communists only made token efforts at reconciliation after Hitler had already succeeded.
Germany, zero minutes. Postal voting ftw!
I’m sorry but (all other issues with the scene aside) pretending that performative “apologies” are a good thing actually is genuinely problematic. Performative apologies are inherently manipulative by drawing attention away from the thing you’re apologising for and by being designed to be an effort that feels bad to reject.
If all apps that you want to use work, there’s no reason for you to be concerned.
The problem with DA2 was that it was a decent game but a bad sequel. I’ve come to appreciate it but when I first played it I was incredibly disappointed. I did not want a personal narrative, I wanted freedom to role-play.
Gerhard Schröder is a strong contender for that title as well.
Legally it’s still a licence.
The entire eastern block adopted Lysenkoism.
The USSR also abused medical science to imprison dissidents in mental institutions based on false diagnoses.
As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?
Using the pasta water for the sauce makes it less runny. YMMV on whether that’s a good thing.
Around 15% here in Germany. That’s more than I expected, but it isn’t mainstream. At least not in the sense that people will expect MacOS behaviour by default on their computers, or even to the point where you can expect familiarity with MacOS from most users.
We clearly live in different bubbles because this is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to MacOS as “very mainstream”. iOS, sure, but I haven’t seen many Macs out in the wild. It’s certainly not common to the point where people would expect MacOS behaviour as the default.
Fair. It still should be communicated better though, because it really does feel like a bug when you first encounter it.
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?!
Turtle. Or tortoise. Same word for both in German.
Nope. Also in Germany.
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.
