The first Switch still seemed like a good purchase because you could own the physical cartridge of a game so it'll still be available long after its servers shut down. The Switch 2 just gives you a physical NFT with which to download the game with. Anyone who purchases this system will be very disappointed a few years later when it cuts off access to their library.

Thanks for the new post! Looks like I'll be avoiding the Switch 2 due to their steep price jump. There's gotta be an upper limit on what even Nintendo fanboys would pay just to play an updated Mario Kart or new Zelda game, especially in this economy.

I see you went for a knight playthrough.

The theory is that it's supposed to encourage internal economic growth via domestic production of goods by making foreign made goods much more expensive. What the orange dip shit failed to understand is that America doesn't have the internal infrastructure or resources needed to create most of the goods they consume. This is basically just a tax on the US consumer that ruined a lot of international trade deals and caused an irreversible decline in confidence with American markets.

Is that a G3?

Gentoo was mentioned more actually.

I've worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.

Make sure none of your coworkers know your game profile.

That's okay. Bigotry, ignorance, and a short memory in the general public will make sure they bounce back 4 to 8 years after being ousted nowadays.

RTX 3080 owner here. I get a black screen whenever I try to play a game after the desktop goes to sleep in Linux Mint. The only workaround is to restart the PC and play it before its screensaver comes on. The struggle is real.

The closest thing we'll see for that kind of legislation is when BYD inevitably makes it to the US. Even then they might word it to say all data traffic from cars would have to go to US servers. These piece of shit politicians work for the data harvesting ghouls, after all.
