It’s been that way for over 40 years lol.

Hello, Veteran Steam User (made my account the day steam released, I was big into the half life/cs/tfc scene back in the day), steam was HORRIBLE when it released. I had a cable modem way back then and it was incredibly slow. Only the ugly green theme, and crashed all the time. It was only used as DRM, not as a way to catalogue games. I clung to those WAN servers up until Valve no longer supported them, it was a sad day at the time.

I find it hard to leave reddit all together just because of the historical knowledge and the actual presence of niche communities. I wish people wouldnt flip out about choosing a server when signing up for lemmy. They act like you have to have a computer science degree to make the switch.

Because at least in America, we’re all just temporarily embarrassed billionaires. We’ve had a lifetime of brainwashing and conditioning to act against our own self interest.

There’s an asteroid that MIGHT hit earth in 2032, so we can look forward to that ( it’s only at a 2.2% right now).

That’s because the only thing American society are the treats. We don’t have healthcare, we don’t have a third space ( a place besides home and work where we can just enjoy life without spending money), we don’t have a house we could ever afford, but damnit, we can buy $5 jalapeño poppers at Chili’s and buy streaming services! American society has placed importance around net worth and what material things you have.

Prices will never ever go down because it’s honestly the only thing we have.

I’m excited. I’m one of those users, but I haven’t used it much because 8 can’t find followers. To be fair, I never used Instagram. I like the fediverse, I see about the same article get sent through other centralized communities other than reddit (tildes, hacker news, etc), but I enjoy the community discussion the best around here.

Strange, I don’t get anything risque, just tech videos and some improv comedy. I still don’t like shorts though. I’m highly tempted to use revanced to take out the shorts section.

I have NES - version of this keyboard and I love it. Very tactile response that makes it pleasing to type on. I will say though that I don’t like the look of this keyboard. The keys look too translucent to actually server a purpose if there is backlighting. I wish they had done a little more to actually differentiate this from the obvious NES/Famicom versions. Like, it made sense to have Big A and B buttons because those were the only buttons on the controller. The xbox had so many button though that just having A and B buttons seems meaningless. I will say if you can wait, I’m sure this keyboard will go down in price. I got my NES version for like $60 or something like that.

I’d like to know as well. I’d love to join a good community or older techies.
