  • Now that the Steam Deck and linux gaming has found some success I really hope Valve or someone else revisits the home console market with a similar approach.

    You couldn’t really build a PC for the same price as a PS5 with the same performance unless you’re buying used parts in most places but that’s not because Sony is selling consoles at a loss right now like the olden days. A large system integrator like Valve (or xbox if they want to change their formula) could offer similar perf/price without all the downsides of these locked down consoles.


  • By international law they can use weapons supplied by other nations even for long range strikes into Russia yes, to my knowledge it’s just a gentleman’s agreement that they follow the terms of the nation supplying them. Not really a point of contention though as it would be idiotic to violate those terms at risk of not being supplied anymore.

    The only point of contention is whether supplying nations should decide to allow strikes into Russia with their equipment because Russia continues to threaten that it would see that as an act of war from the supplying nation. So legally nothing wrong with it but you have to weigh that decision with possibility of starting World War III or a nuclear apocalypse.













  • I checked twitter. Generally they think Trump won. They also think the moderators were a Harris’ team and it was 3 vs 1. They think he owned her with the “I’m talking now” line. There’s also a conspiracy theory that Harris was wearing earrings with speakers in them.

    But no debate was going to change the mind of people already in the maga cult anyway.

    For ‘undecided’ voters I’ve seen this didn’t move the needle much but Harris was slightly ahead.

    The biggest win is probably for already dem leaning voters being more excited to get out and vote rather than not voting - especially with Taylor Swift encouraging them to register and vote now.




  • This is literally AOC trying to impeach them, which isn’t going to be successful in a republican controlled house anyway. It’s more just for principle and show.

    Court packing isn’t really an option right now for the same reason…if dems get firm control of the house and senate then it would be possible. For those who don’t know Manchin and Sinema are two “democratic” senators who won’t abolish filibuster or expand the supreme court so the current 51 - 49 democrat control of the senate isn’t real control either.
