So there is definitely more to it as plenty of people have already explained, but when it comes to Elon and Rowling they both have personal reasons for their anti-trans beliefs. Rowling was sexually assaulted, and now finds the idea of, in her words, “men pretending to be women” utterly terrifying due to her PTSD, and is seemingly incapable of seeing trans women any other way.

Elon on the other hand went through a bunch of drama bs with his family, he’s got at least one trans kid who has disowned him, and he spiralled out from there, eventually finding a place among the far-right Nazis who have only reinforced his preconceptions about trans people and trans kids.

No idea what the fuck Zuck’s trans villain origin story is though.

I don’t think it’s about enjoying the content. I don’t filter it because I like having a firm grasp on what is happening politically in the world. As annoying, frustrating, and anxiety inducing as it is, Trump and Musk are two figures that are currently doing everything they can to fuck up our planet and governments so that they can make a few bucks. Yes there is a lot of musk and Trump content, but sticking your head in the sand and hoping it doesn’t effect you until it’s over is probably not the best way to handle it. I haven’t been on Reddit in years, but I recall it being the same situation there during Trump’s first term, there was just a little more non-political content to help dilute it due to the larger user-base.

It’s not multimodal so I’d have to imagine it wouldn’t be worth pursuing in that regard.

My guess is that it has to do with rights to the ocean floor.

In my experience, Linux Mint “just works”. What you’re describing are distros like arch.

There is a dude who did exactly that while committing a murder and got caught. I think this article is talking about the case I’m thinking of: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/02/man-charged-with-ni-faked-live-stream-to-provide-alibi

Is that the same thing we Americans refer to as an “English Muffin”? I always thought crumpets were cookies or something lol.

This is a bad take in general, if your computer can’t handle running steam it probably can’t handle many games to begin with. It’s the least intrusive option presented so far in terms of DRM, and steam has done more for the Linux gaming market with Proton than any other company afaik. You have to launch steam to avoid games wanting to do things like denuvo or kernel level anti-cheat which is WAY worse, and those of us on Linux need steam running while we game for additional reasons. This complaint about not wanting to look at a storefront is just petty, especially when I’m pretty sure there are settings to open it directly to your library.

this was a thing before ICP even existed.

If you’re already willing to put up with all the other bullshit Apple does, I don’t see why you’d care about them doing this.

My guess why this comic is confusing people here is simply due to the fact that the Lemmy community is primarily made up of middle aged straight men, many of whom have probably dealt with bitter divorce and find the base concept of this comic impossible to relate to.

I think you might be part of the problem, dude. Those are some pretty grand generalizations/assumptions about women there.

Yikes, what a cunty thing to say.

This just seems incorrect? I have it on steam not game pass, but you leave the game in the options menu, and it shows controller icons for me just fine.

Hitman 3 has a custom offline launcher known as the Peacock project iirc, super good time, let’s you unlock all gear and play exclusive timed events and stuff whenever you want

I’d say a GameStop gift card should be fine, they should be able to buy most games there except for PC games, and if that’s what they’re after they should be able to spend it on a card for Steam, Roblox, epic, etc at GameStop. Same logic should also apply to a visa gift card I would imagine.
