I see your point, but context matters. The title is saying: "PCs are a superior kind to consoles (and macs)". Saying that a certain type of technology is superior to another is absolutely okay, even though the same can't be said for people. Banning certain phrases in spite of the way they're used will do more harm than good to us in the long run. Additionally, people who constantly get so worked up about the usage of these phrases and words are the same ones who grant them the enormous power they hold over us.

Please don't start with that again. PC master race is a perfectly fine name and I'm glad they didn't change it. I'll just have to make another account.

I'd agree, except the progressives and conservatives align with the left and right respectively in 99% of cases. Some even go as far as to consider their social values inseparable from the economic ones. When's the last time you met a conservative socialist, for instance?

[-] DrownedAxolotl@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

"Both sides bad" is a bad take when applied to economics. In that area, one side is clearly superior. However, when it comes to politics as a whole, specifically social values, the other commenter is right. Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm crazy about the right's social values or anything, but I am very critical of some of the stuff the left is promoting lately (and no, I don't mean just chronically online liberals).

You're actually the one infantilizing the divide in this case and I'm saying this as a socialist myself.

It means desktop environment and window manager respectively. Windows has only one (it being the default) and is not unix, so you should probably post this elsewhere.

I mean proton is available in the AUR last I checked. Also, couldn't you just use the "add non-steam game" option in steam? I've heard it does sometimes block pirated games, but it wouldn't hurt to try

Ooh, can't wait until this is in a usable state. However, I always found myself more drawn to older gen games as opposed to the new stuff. Anyone know any really good PS4 games they can't wait to play on PC?

Probably because of Windows exclusive software. When an art student friend asked me to install Linux on her laptop I told her she shouldn't go for it because she'll have a massive headache as soon as her teacher asks her to install photoshop. Don't get me wrong I love Linux and the BSDs, but there are certain use cases where they're not the right choice.

That truly sucks. Yeah, some professors can be like that. I had a math professor offer bonus points to the first 3 students completed the assignment, only for the majority to cheat and just look up the answer and turn that in. It became a contest of who could copy the fastest and one student even admitted to doing it, but she just didn't care and gave points to the cheaters anyway.

The lack of Holy C in this meme makes me incredibly disappointed.
